Alicia's Journey
A/N: Continuation tomorrow or Sunday.
Alicia had it all figured out by now what she wanted to do. She was without a doubt, going to become a wrestler.
Before she left the gym yesterday, she told the guy who visited that she would let him know if she was interested. Writing down the number from the pamphlet, she made up her mind she was in fact interested. She had a super special surprise if she made it far without any set-backs which she hopped wouldn't happen. Even though Kelly thought she was joking and being utterly ridiculous for making a drastic desicion but she had an idea in mind Kelly wouldn't understand. Alicia knew she had to start training right away which was going to be difficult but if she continued to work hard and never give up, she could accomplish anything.
Alicia had to return back to the gym for day 2 of her job. She did her daily routine consisting of a morning shower, searching through her closet full of endless possiblities of an outfit, eating her favorite cereal, and coffee. Same time, same place with the same guys. Kelly was on time to take her to work again. The ride to the gym was a little awkward seeing as how Kelly didn't really know what to say to Alicia after she told her about her 'weird' career choice. Alicia broke the silence.
"What's gotten into you?" Alicia asked. Kelly pulled over to the side of the road and looked to her friend sighing. She pouted.
"Do you really want to do this?" She huffed.
"Do what?" Alicia asked. She knew what Kelly was talking about but she wanted to see what she would say. Kelly crossed her arms at Alicia's abset-minded question.
"Why the hell you want to be a wrestler? Do you even know what you're saying sometimes?" She urged. Alicia got a little upset at her friend's choice words. She thought friends were suppose to support you no matter what choice you make but not in Kelly's case. Alicia didn't really want to tell Kelly her plan because she wanted to surprise everyone, make a big impact and knowing the consequences but it didn't phase her. She was on a mission.
"Because I want to!" Alicia stated getting very annoyed and wishing Kelly would just take her to the gym. Kelly rolled her eyes. She wasn't done just yet.
"Alicia, is this because of Ryan? If it is then you're being dumb! The guy is gone! I'm sorry to say this but you need to move on! You could get really hurt wrestling." Kelly confused, spilling all what she had on her mind smack Alicia in the face like a ton of bricks. She couldn't believe Kelly would say that! After all she's been through, everything, Alicia was there to be the 'comforter' of the friendship. Even when Kelly was hardly around!
"Oh, so you're telling ME to move on when you get back together with a guy that cheated on AJ!?" Alicia screamed. Kelly gasped and slapped Alicia hard in the face. She felt the painful sting starting to set into her skin. Alicia tried to hold back tears as she got out Kelly's convertable, slamming the door.
"I'll show you! I'll show you off bad! When you see in what Iv'e accomplished, I hope you cry your skank tears at my success!" Kelly didn't say another word as she stepped on the gas speeding off like she was driving away from the police. Alicia stormed off walking the rest of the way to the gym.
It's too hard to believe. The only great friend she had turned on her for being so over protected. But Alicia had to shake it off, she was on a mission and nothing, not even a lost friend could stop her. Alicia changed into her coaching uniform and got straight to starting today's plan for the boys'. "A mile run should do the trick." she thought. Once the boys got started running, Alicia's phone rang in her pocket. She hoped and kinda hoped at the same to for it to be Kelly. It was Ryan instead. He was starting to call daily now which made Alicia very happy.
"What's up?" Alicia asked happily.
"I'm at the school now," Ryan said, "Were about to start soon. Just wanted to know how everything's going at the gym."
"Plans are good, boys in good shape, you think I'm doing good?" She laughed with him laughing along with her.
"I guess. I'll talk to you soon, I gotta lecture over her coming on." Ryan said sighing. They said bye and Alicia got back to thinking. She sat on the edge of a brick wall behind her, taking out the slip of paper with the training center's number on it. She typed the numbers in her phone taking a look at the green phone call symbol. This one call could change her whole life. She thought once...twice...she called.
"Hello?" The man's voice reminded her of the same guy that was here yesterday.
"Hi, It's Alicia, from the gym. Need a new woman wrestler?" She asked.
"Always in need of some talented women!" The guy on the other end said.
"When can I leave?" Alicia asked anticipated.
"Friday. Just book a plan to New York, come down here for an interveiw!" He said.
"Awesome! You'll be sure to see me there!" Alicia beemed.
"Excellent. I'll see you Friday." The guy stated hanging up. Alicia jumped for joy, dancing around like she had gotten what she wanted for Christmas. All the guys were staring at her chuckling with confused looks on their faces. Alicia blushed in embarrassemnt.
"What? Just for that, go another lap!" She ordered. They all groaned and began to run like she said. Now someone else will have to take her position. Wow, only 2 days of working at the gym and she has to quit. But it'll be all worth it.
