They entered the gym and Beth was very scared... After all this was something new to her but having Kurtis there made her feel better and more sure of herself. Whilst on the cross trainer, Kurtis frowned, "You're very quiet what's up?"... Beth looked up at him, "Oh nothing..." Kurtis frowned and folded his arms across his chest. "Hey you can talk to me about anything... I won't tell anyone whatever you tell me will stay between us". Beth stared back, "You promise?"... Kurtis smiled, "I promise". Whilst moving the machine backwards and forwards she sighed, "I don't want the kids at school to pick on me anymore I'm sick of it...". Kurtis frowned, "What do they do to you?". Beth looked down, "Well they call me names, beat me up and throw water on me... They also-" she couldn't continue... She felt like she would break down if she did. They moved onto a different machine before Kurtis continued, "That's disgusting... They shouldn't get away with it". Tears started to escape from her eyes... Kurtis rubbed her back in small soothing circles and said, "Hey shhhh everything will work out fine... I promise". Beth calmed down and nodded. They carried on exercising and chatting away happily until the session finished. "Well done kiddo! You did great... I'll see you on Tuesday oh by the way if you need to talk about anything then here's my number... Just keep yourself safe and ignore those idiots" Kurtis said as he handed her a piece of paper with his number wrote on it. "Ok thanks..." She mumbled after taking the number and getting into her mums car. Something about him was caring and she liked that.
