New Year, New Lies || Open

Growing up with the Westhavens is definitely a challenge in it's own. His dad and his boyfriend were both Runway and Male models. Ken, his uncle was a professional body builder. Kameron, his older brother, was so earth conscious it was disgusting and he never put anything harmful into his body. Kristian and Jack on the other hand were vagrants and heathens. That thought made him chuckle as he thought about his two younger brothers. And then there was Johanna. That witch. Kaydin kept his headphones in as he ran on the treadmill, focusing on hitting his five mile mark before he could stop. A smirk playing on his face as he kept to his own thoughts. Johanna, that filthy, filthy witch of a twin sister. Though he would gladly take a bullet for her.

That was when he saw her. Cornelia held a look of confusion on her face as she looked over the gym equipment and he smiled, not slowing in the pace at all. It was hard for him to hold attention for much longer than say fifteen or twenty minutes, but when he was exercising it felt much clearer. That was why he started every single morning the same way.

"Hey! Sharpe. Come walk, jog or run for the next twenty and I'll help you out." He waved her over, not slowing in his pace. Feet hitting the tread as he wiped his brow with a laugh. "C'mon. Chop chop. New school year, new you! Right?"

"Only a little bit, and don't worry. A lot of the regulars are here right now, there are a lot of people who fall off the bandwagon after the first month or two." Kaydin grinned to her. Feet falling in rhythym to the music blasting in his left ear. Glad that she took the machine to his right so he could hear her better. The Westhaven boy couldn't help but laugh softly as she stumbled slightly. "You'll get used to that. And Jogging is a good start, but don't over exert yourself on the first day though. Or you're really going to give up on your resolution."

The only reason Kaydin knew this because of how many new faces he saw come and go. When he was home his mornings all started out the same. Except he had his uncle to help him along. Ken was a personal trainer, and a damn good one at that. Teaching him everything he needed to know in order to stay healthy and to keep goals. That and Ken had taught him a valuable lesson. Exercising helped the poor boy keep his focus, lest he get too bored in conversation. It has always been like that. There were Saturday mornings when he was so distracted by the television to even notice conversation around him.

"No need to be embarrassed. You're here to work on you, no one is going to judge you based on your ability, because we all started there." Kay gave her a reassuring smile hoping to boost her confidence.

Kaydin was a sucker for girls who smiled. There was this thing where he didn't like to deal with depressed or unhappy individuals. Considering he had seen his own father at the lowest of lows. He's nearly lost his older brother to suicide, and he was watching Kristian spiral out of control with the drugs. Not actually sure why, but he and Johanna have always been relatively positive. Granted she was legitimately part of him. Twinsense was a real thing and well? He couldn't picture his life without her in it. Positivity made for a better life.

Unlike most other students he wasn't about to rip someone down for trying to better themselves. Kaydin didn't live like that. His family had taught him to accept everyone from all religions, all backgrounds, all ethnicities, he was taught that hate doesn't solve anything and instead, love could cure it all. That reflected in the way he acted. Sure he pranked people and did a lot of weird shit with his sister, but no matter what or who, he would help. That is if he could remember to do such. or remember to turn the TV off, or remember to focus on his homework. The only time he really felt focused was when he was exercising, and he hated that. It was an odd sensation.

Again he gave Cornelia a smile. "At least you keep trying every year. I can hold you accountable too. If that is what you want. Accountable to the point where I will drag your ass out of bed every morning and get you in here." Kaydin just chuckled and watched her. "Sure! My uncle has pretty much taught us all the ropes. Just don't come in here during the evenings. If you're in Kam's way he might just mow you over. Mornings are best. Start your day off feeling good and refreshed, clear out your mind. Make it so you don't loose focus fifteen minutes into your charms lesson." That was more of a knock to himself. Ever since Kaydin could remember he had inattentive ADHD. He had only held the hyperactivity qualities when he was out with Johanna doing their thing, but it wasn't a symptom. Not for him. Kaydin happened to get bored more than anything, lost focus too easily and would dip out of conversation straight in the middle.

"Uh... do 20 more minutes this and then we can move on and figure out where you're at? Like what level. I start out with a little bit of body weight exercises to get used to it if I've been off for a while. Then move into some more hardcore stuff. So don't worry about the machines and freeweights and all that. Once we're done here I'll pull out the mats, sound good?"
