Behind the Glasses

Chapter 31

I finally packed everything and I am feeling exhausted. I put the black bags somewhere hard to find and see if that is possible. I go take a bath and when I finish I change into something more casual and comfortable. I look at the schedule and see that I am suppose to be in the gym in five minutes. I hurriedly pick my training bag and shove in random things in.

I look at the building's map and when I spot the gym I take of running there. I enter from a double doored room exactly on time. Yeah I made it! I throw my bag somewhere and stretch with everyone else. There are around seventy people here. After we're done stretching the coach starts talking.

"Ms.Peterson and I have arranged the gym to a test for all of you. Please line up so we'll start from station one." He says and everyone starts lining up. I go somewhere at the back of the line. People start their test and leave. The coaches are taking note of what they're good at and not. Finally it's my turn and I look next to me to see my brother and the rest of the gang.

"Ready steady and go." The coach says and I take off. I go between the punching bags and punch them out of my way. I even manage to knock some of them on the floor. I jump onto the balance beam and run on it towards the rings. I jump and make a roll in the air. I grab the rings and make another jump rolling in the air.

I hold on the horizontal bar perfectly. I let my hands go and run towards the fake guns. I grab one and shoot at the aims hitting in the middle. Jackpot! I walk back to the coaches breathless and wait for their response.

"You're definitely in." Ms.Jackson says and I thank her leaving the room. As I am walking down the hallway I bump into someone. I look at the person to meet with Xavier and he smiles at me. Not the warming smile or greeting one but a pity one. Why?

"What's wrong?"

"You know about all the whole thing that Sean has someone looking into your information."

"Yes."

"Well the person looking into your life is a friend of mine. Yesterday we where talking and somehow we started talking about you. He told me that you..."

"What do you know?"

"You're the person Sean is messing around with at school aren't you?"

"Shh! Come in here." I tell him and we enter an empty room. "You know nothing."

"But I do now tell me everything!" He begs.

"I...fine I am that person but does Sean know yet?"

"No he wants to read the file when he has all the information."

"Your brother is a creep."

"Please don't let him hurt you!"he tells me cupping my checks and I nod at him. "What are you doing tonight?"

"Nothing."

"Umm... do...maybe...do you want to go out with me tonight?"

"You mean a date with you?"

"Yes."

"I don't know now I think I have planed something." I start saying on purpose.

"Come on tell me yes or no."

"Of course yes." He grabs me by my waist and turn me around. "How old are you?" I ask him as he places me down and I poke his cheek.

"I'm seventeen I am in the first year of college."

"Can't wait to hear about your college."

"I will tell you everything you want to know about me tonight."

"Okay at what time and what do I wear?"

"At eight be ready if you want you can come wearing anything you want as long as it is comfy for you."

"Okay see you tonight Xavier. Thank you." I tell him and place a kiss on his cheek and before I could leave he grabs my wrist and turn me around.

"Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for making me happy and being my friend."
