chapter 7: (lol no name)
"Hey Tris, what's up?" Uriah asks me.
"You know, the usual." I roll my eyes, "school." I slam my locker door after grabbing my stuff and start heading to the Y.M.C.A to start training.
"Yeah school can be a real pain," He just says nodding. "Where ya heading anyways?"
"I'm going to the Y.M.C.A to start my fall kick-boxing training!" I am practically skipping all the way there since it's such a reliever when I'm frustrated or confused.
"Seriously, really, honestly!" he says, "Is there anything you can't do?"
Well actually there's lots I can't do like jump roping, eating noodles.. I always end up choking somehow. "Yesss, Uriah there's lots I can't do for example I can't... fly." I answer him exaggerating the 'yes'.
"No dip, no one can fly." he says rolling his eyes at me. "I'm being for real, can you sing?"
Umm what a stupid question, why does he give a crap about me? I know we're friends but is this random stuff really important, or is he just astonished by me? Well I doubt that last part. I rolls my eyes at the thought of him actually being astonished and surprised by me.
"Hey, what was that for? He says looking at me weirdly. "Why'd you roll your eyes?"
"Oh that?" I ask him a little embarrassed that he picked that up.
"Well duh, I'm standing right in front of you.. staring at you. It would be kinda hard NOT to notice." he just calls back. "Well hey, I gotta get out of here. I'm suppose to meet Will at the mall because he needs help picking out a tie for some stupid family event." He says with a smile, and turns to leave.
Well, Uriah really is one of a kind. Though Chris was right, I do got my eye on Four. But then there's still Jake who I have yet to break up with. I have been trying to put it back forever but he's gonna find out somethings up since I haven't been picking up his calls or texting him back. He even came to my house to see what's up with me but luckily I was sleeping and my mom covered for me. Thank god for moms. Why is it so easy to get lost in your thoughts? Once again I almost ran into a bush! I better not be this careless when I am finished with my car and it's time that I can actually take it for a little joy ride. Then the first person going to be in the car has to be Uriah, I promised he would. I am suprisingly really excited to get er on the road! Really Tris, really? This time you did hit a bush! I stumble over a branch of a shrub that's sticking out and fall on the concrete scraping my knee. I've had worse. I get up and continue walking/jogging there.
When I get there I immediately sign in with the desk lady. I love the smell of the chlorine for some reason it always give me a little boost of adrenaline to start training. I take a left at the next curve and find myself in the big training room were I see Coach Tori waiting for me setting up the punching bag and bringing out the mats for hand in hand combat.
"Hey Coach, need any help there?" I ask her setting my bag on the ground next to the row of benches.
"Nope thanks Tris but I got this." She calls back hauling one of the mats off the other to space them out evenly.
"Okay," I just nod and start wrapping my knuckles to they the skin doesn't tear from punching the punching bag so hard. I was so full of anger one day I came here to let it all out and ended up breaking that chain. Which is really hard to do.
I start my warm-ups by doing thirty sit-ups and twenty push-ups. Then jogging around the gym twice to warm up my legs to keep my stamina up so I have free will to quickly slide without my knees buckling under the impact of the ground or the quickness of the slide.
"Kay Tris come over here I want to see your form when you prepare to take a swing at the punching bag." Tori says motioning to it.
I just give a shrug of my shoulders and walk over and start to steady my feet and get my arms and elbows in the correct position they should be in so I still have my chest and ribs safe and my hands and fists are ready to punch if needed. As my feet are slightly parted in case they get the first hit in and I don't have time to take an immediate block my feet will on go back a little before balancing myself out again. Then for my feet they're strait with my ankles to make sure that if I have to take an immediate jump or side step they won't twist and sprain my ankle or foot. Tori swings the bag a little to give me more of a leverage to start with since it's so stiff even for me since I'm smaller then most who are actually experienced enough to properly take on the punching bag and be ready for the impact if it comes to quick for the you shove it back so it doesn't collide with you.
I take the first punch real easy like as always and the second, third, fourth, then the fifth is the one that gets me because I'm always getting a little weaker each time I throw the punch since the bag I'm working with now it somewhat 150 pounds in all. So if it hits me in the right spot it could take me down cold or knock the wind out of me at worst.
I'm just about to take the next hit when I hear a noise coming from the door that I haven't noticed opened. I turn around to see who came in when the punching bag hit me square in the face.
SRRY FOR THE SHORTNESS BUT IT'S A MONDAY.. NOT MY BEST DAY. ALSO SORRY ChloeCGarcia BUT THIS IS A FOURTRIS STORY BUT DON'T WORRY YOUR PRETTY LITTLE HEART OUT I LOVE THE WHOLE TRIS/ URIAH SO I WILL HAVE a lot OF ONE SHOTS OF HIM :) Don't you just 3 cliff hangers?
