My eyes flutter open to be immediately met with Sharife's light snores.
The alarm stops which means that Jazmyn is awake.
"Come on hoes, we gotta go." Regina whispers standing up.
I try to wiggle my way out of Sharife's embrace without waking him up, but I am not successful.
"Good luck, Talia. I'll see you at the meet." A sleepy Sharife says as I stand up.
He's too cute. His eyes are trying to fight the sleepiness, but he isn't winning.
"Thank you, Rife." I reply softly. I give him a gentle kiss on his forehead as he drifts back to sleep.
"Come on, Talia." Ari whispers after she wiggles out of Isaac's arms without waking him.
"Ok hold on." I respond.
I grab the hotel pen and notepad and write down Ari, Jazmyn, and I's phone numbers for the boys when they wake up.
I put the note on the nightstand, then leave the room behind Ari.
"Aye! The tape isn't here anymore!" Jazmyn cheers.
"Let's get ready to run for our lives girls." I say as we enter our hotel room.
We all get dressed into our uniforms and put our sweatsuits over it. After that, I fix my low bun so that it's secure and cute then put water and ice into my water bottle. Last but not least, I check my track bag to make sure I have all my meet essentials: my roller, blanket, pillow, goldfish, Powerade, water bottle, jumping spikes, sprinting spikes, lotion, AirPods, portable charger, and my wallet. Perfect.
"Here's your crocs, Talia." Regina says handing me my shoes.
"Preciate it." I reply tossing the shoes onto the floor and putting them on.
"Oh we look good! Let's take a quick mirror pic before we leave." Jazmyn points out and she's not lyin. We are a gorgeous group of girls.
