Chapter six: A very rough day
The next day, girls woke up early, because of the school. It was Lyra's turn to drive today so they had a nice ride.
"Finally someone who can drive!" Christina said, jumping out of the car.
"Hey! I can drive normally too, but we were n a hurry last time" Maya protested angrily.
"Yea, yea. Bull shit" the blonde muttered.
Luckily Maya didn't hear her, so they walked to the school, peacefully. They went to their lockers to take the books out. English was their first class today so they went down the hall, towards the classroom.
"Good morning Mr. McGee!" they greeted their Music teacher who went past by.
"Good morning girls, can't wait for tomorrow!" he said, excited and walked away.
The girls just smiled nervously and quickly passed their teacher.
"I totally forgot!" Sabrina almoust yelled, holding her head
"Shit, me too! What now! We haven't practiced enough!" Christina said loudly.
"We'll have to tell the boys that we can't train today, there's no other way!" Lyra said, looking desperate
"Yeah, the guys won't be pleased. C'mon girls, we have to get in the classroom" Maya said in an unhappy voice and went into the classroom.
The girls followed her with their heads down. The boys saw them and their unhappy faces.
"What's wrong?" Tala asked, looking at Maya and offering her to sit beside him.
"Bad news guys" she said and sat down beside Tala.
"We can't train today, coz we totally forgot about our little performance tomorrow, so we have to practice. Sorry guys" Christina apologized
"Oh, no! Today? But….Oh, man!" Ozuma said, disappointed
"Sorry" Sabrina said to him quietly, so he was the only one who heard her.
He looked at her, surprised. He had never seen her in the state like that. Usually she was full of energy, but now she looked completely different
"It's ok, we'll train some other time then" he said to her calmly, putting his hand on her back for comfort.
"Ok people, the class has begun. Please take out your notebooks and write down the title!" Mrs. Marple said loudly, while coming into the classroom.
"Oh, no! Another essay!" Johnny complained
The others weren't pleased either.
"Ok mates, I've got an idea" Kai said quietly
"We can do practicing and training at the same time. While you, girls, practice, we can train. You just have to show us how"
"That's a great idea! We can do it in our house" Maya said a bit too loud
"Quiet there, please!" The teacher said angrily
"You guys can come with us after school" Maya said a bit more quietly
"Ok" they said and everybody continued writing their essays.
The classes today were more cheerful than in the morning, so it ended pretty fast. Soon after, the eight teens went to the girls' house. They greeted Mrs. Jones and went straight to the back yard. The instruments were still there. All they needed were the boxing sacks and other stuff like that.
"Bring the big one over here!" Christina yelled to the guys who were carrying the big sack.
"Man, this thing is heavy!" Ozuma said, holding the sack
"It's part of your training!" Christina said, smiling
They just rolled their eyes and roped up the sack. Soon they started. The guys boxing and kicking the sack, and the girls were………jamming. Well actually, Lyra forgot to sing her lines, because she was disturbed by something. Not just Lyra, the rest of the band stopped too. They were all looking in the direction where the boys were training. The scene was very interesting for the girls, because it was such a hot day that boys took their shirts off, showing their muscular bodies.
"Why did you stop jamming? I was enjoying the music!" Johnny said in an innocent voice, smirking at his mates
"Umm…we were just…..we just want to get a drink, coz it's so hot. You want some?" Maya tried to sound casual
"I think she meant to say that we are hot, he he…" Ozuma muttered to the guys
"Yeah, sure. Water, please" Tala smirked and continued kickboxing the sack.
The girls quickly hurried into the kitchen, because they didn't want them to see them blush
"They did it on purpose, I know it! They knew that it would attract our attention!" Sabrina said frustrated
"And we can't help it! I say we return they the favor after we finish our jamming! What do you think?" Lyra said , getting an idea.
"Yea, let's do this! I can't wait to see their faces!" Christina said excited, grabbing a bottle of water for Johnny
"Did you see them! Ha! The look in their eyes!" Ozuma laughed
"There's our proof. They love us." Kai smirked to himself
"Yeah, they can't get their eyes off us!" Tala smirked too
"Oh, here they go!" Johnny smiled and turned his head towards the girls, who were carrying the bottles of water.
"Here ya go!" Tigress said, giving Tala the bottle
The other girls did the same
"We're just gonna play two more songs and then we'll join you" Lyra said, grabbing her guitar
"Ok, by us!" They said
"Let's kick it into overdrive!"
After they played the song called Lost like tears in the rain, they went back into their rooms, to change their clothes into more appropriate outfits. In fact, they were all wearing half tops and hot pants, the difference was only in colour.
"Ok lads, we can start now! Hey Tigress, do we have enough sacks?" Christina asked
"Yea, I think so" she said, punching and kicking one of the nearest sacks.
"Ok guys, the rules how to kick the sack. You can do low kicks, middle kicks or high kicks. Your choice. Now about the boxing. You can punch it with your fists, arms or elbows. The most successful is with the elbow, because it doesn't hurt…much, while punching the person and it is very hard to break…" Tigress told them hurriedly
"So if I hit someone with my elbow, I'll break his nose, but it won't hurt me, right?" Johnny asked, trying to remember the things she was saying
"That's what I said"
"Ok, I think I get it now" he said
"Great. Ok, umm, where was I? Oh, yeah, I remember. Anyway, you can also kick them with your knees…"
"Yea, yea, we've seen this knee shit on TV, no need to remember us" Ozuma said grumpily
"Just because girls use this against boys…" Sabrina laughed
"ANYWAY, that's about the sacks. Christina and I will tell you about judo, kung fu and other stuff like this, later" Maya finally finished and started high kicking the sack.
The girls started to punch it too. But boys were just standing there, like being stupefied. They were staring at them with their jaws open. They never saw them, being that strong altogether and sweating all over their bodies.
"Why aren't you guys training?" Christina said smiling
"Resting!" Johnny said a bit too quickly
"Right." Lyra smiled and punched the bag
The guys broke out of their trance and continued their training.
"Ok mates, I think this will do for today. Let's move there now!" Christina said an hour later
"Ok, we're gonna do it in pairs"
"Since you've been bossing us around all day, we're gonna pick the pairs" Tala interfered
"Fine, whatever" Maya said
"Ok, Johnny goes with the blonde, Kai goes with bluenette, Ozuma with Sabrina and me…."
"I'm with Tigress" Tala finished, smirking at his pair
"Whatever" Lyra rolled her eyes
Each pair went on one side, because they didn't want to kick each other's teeth out. Christina and Maya told them about martial arts then Lyra went on with fencing and Sabrina with archery. After all this "babbling" as Ozuma called it, they began. They started with martial arts and ended it an hour later, because Johnny was teasing Christina and she punched him in the face and caused him a nose bleed.
"It's nothing serious, is it?" Lyra asked, when Christina tried to stop the bleeding
"Nah, it's just a nose bleed" she said careless
"Just a nose bleed, but it hurts like hell!" Johnny told them in pain, lying on the ground
"I think you deserved it" Sabrina grinned
"No…" he started, but when he saw the look on Christina's face, he changed his mind
"…Maybe I did" he confessed
"Glad you admit it!" the blonde smirked
He just rolled his eyes. After Johnny's nose was OK again, they went for the fencing. The pairs were still the same. Each of them received a wooden sword. The guys went "Can't we have the real ones?" and were disappointed when they got the negative answer. This time there weren't any accidents. There could be one, if Lyra hadn't blocked Kai's fierce attack he sent her.
"You know, this is just a practice. You can kill later" she said to Kai, causing him to fall on his back and placing her wooden sword on his throat.
He just looked at her a bit nervous, wondering what she is about to do with the sword
"Hey guys, don't kill yourselves! Come here!" Maya yelled at them
Lyra put the sword away and helped Kai stand up
"What if I died, what would you do" she asked him curiously
He just stood there, looking at her for a moment and picked up his sword
"You wouldn't, coz I know you're too good at it" he answered, smirking and walked to the group
Lyra smiled and followed
"All right, all we have left is archery. Sabrina, take it from here" Lyra said
They were shooting their arrows until it was time for dinner. They went inside to eat and talked about the things they have been doing today.
"God, I'm tired! If we're gonna keep like this every day, I'll be dead in a few days!" Tala complained
"Just a few?" Maya joked and smiled to him. He just glared at her, but failed it.
"Yea, I think you're right. But we had to explain you everything. We had enough for today, I promise that future trainings won't be so hard" Tigress continued
"And besides, what about beyblading? We mustn't forget about that! We won't have any time for ourselves anymore!" Johnny remembered
"That's true too. Anyway, I was thinking we could do this training during the holidays. I mean, the school is about to be over soon. In a few weeks actually" Kai said
"Wow, this year passed really fast!" Sabrina realized
"Well duh, we came here only a month ago" Christina told her with an obvious expression on her face.
"Oh, yea…"
"While we're at it, why did you girls decide to go to school, basically at the end of it?" Ozuma asked
"I mean, you could just wait until the next year"
"Well you see, we were thinking on going next year too, but Mrs. Jones kind of made us go now. I don't actually know why. I never asked" Sabrina answered
"The best place to train is here, I guess, so we'll stick to this place over the summer" said Maya, changing the subject
"That means double training for us, coz we have to get to you first" Johnny complained again
"Do you have to complain about everything we do?" Kai asked grimly
"Well, yea…"
"No. Johnny's right. And I think I've just got the right solution!" Lyra suddenly said
"Which is…?" Tala said impatiently
"You guys can move in our house! We've got four spare rooms, remember girls?" the bluenette said
"Oh, yea! I remember now! That's a great idea!" Sabrina grinned
"Are you kidding? We? Move into your house?" Ozuma couldn't believe the news he was hearing.
"Yea, and if you missed your tree house too much, you could always have ours" Christina smiled
"And we'll be closer to you…the training gym!" Johnny said excited
"So what do you guys think? Maya asked Tala and Kai
"When can we move in?" Tala asked, grinning
"This weekend, I reckon" Tigress grinned back
"We haven't heard anything from you Kai" Lyra said
Kai looked around a bit and said "I think I'm gonna like this place" and he smiled at Lyra
"Cool!"
"So we are set? That's great! Now if you guys don't mind we better get some sleep, because of tomorrow. And I think you should do the same" Maya said politely
"No, we don't mind. We could use some sleep ourselves, too. We had a rough day today." Tala said, yawning.
"So, we'll see ya tomorrow. Have a good night!" Johnny saluted and followed the guys
"Good night"
"Good luck tomorrow!"
"Thank you!"
"Bye!"
"Bye!"
