COW was all review. So was Foreign Languages. I mean, come on, we had finished Arabic in when we were thirteen!
The girls and I were walking out back to the P&E area when we saw the boys. They were all wearing special uniforms for class. The girls turned into giggles, and Liz turned away when they realized that none of the boys had shirts on. I turned around and gave Bex and Macey the evil eye. Was I really the only one able to keep their cool when boys six packs were involved? The boys spotted us and jogged over. The girls straightened themselves when they noticed the approaching boys. I just sighed.
"What's wrong sis?" Grant asked, poking me in the back while I was turned towards the girls. I turned around slowly, a murderous look on my face.
"What have I told you, not once, not twice,but a bazillion times!? Don't poke me, or I will flip you!" Grant turned towards the boys and snickered. I grabbed his wrist and flipped him over so that he landed flat on his back.
"Ow Cam, what was that for?"
"You totally asked for it." Grant got up and put up his fists. I smiled playfully. "So you want to spar?" I asked, voice sickly sweet.
Bex decided to step in then.
"Guys, how about you wait until we actually GET to PE!"
She pulled me off towards the building at the back of the school property. Ah, yes, the P&E practice room. I was looking forward to hitting something.
Bex pulled me off to the side, before I had the chance to gather in the circle that was forming around the teacher.
"Take it easy Cam. No hurting anyone fatally. That's my job!" She narrowed her eyes, trying to look angry, and then we both burst out laughing. I pulled her over to where the boys and girls were standing. The gym teacher immediately started talking.
"Boys, and girls. This is P&E. There will be no goofing off. There will be no faking injuries to get out of fighting. You're either unconscious, or still fighting. Girls, I know this might be harder for you than for the boys. We'll push you into it though. There will be no 'slow approach'." He surveyed the room. "Fine. We'll be sparring today, to get a feel for the girls levels. It's going to be like King of the court."
Bex wasn't having that. "Cough* Queen! Cough*" She hacked through her words. Of course we were in a room full of teenage spies, so naturally everyone heard what she said.
"What I was saying, is that first Anna will face off against Cody, and then whoever wins, will face off against Eva, and whoever wins that will face off against Dallas. Then Mary Claire, then Jonas, then Liz, then Macey, Nick, Cammie, Zach, Bex, and finally, Grant. Anna, and Cody, please enter the circle."
The fighting went on like this for a while. Cody beat Ana and Eva, then got beaten by Dallas, who beat up Mary Claire, and Jonas, and then lost against Liz. Who I'm pretty sure they thought couldn't throw a single punch. Macey won over Liz and Nick, but I quickly beat her with a flip and a soft kick to the back of the head that sent her into unconsciousness.
The was Zach. He hesitantly came up to the mat.
"You scared Zach?" I asked, teasing. He should be, Macey hadn't even laid a finger on me.
"Of course not Cammie." He got into fighting stance. We circled for a good few minutes before coach yelled at us to get a move on. He made the first move.
Strike 1. A fake punch to the stomach, and then a side hook to the face. I foresaw it, and grabbed his fist, using his momentum to cartwheel him across and onto the floor.
Strike 2. Try to swipe my feet out from under me, and then stand up. Well yo got to stand up, but not before I got you with my foot in the side of the head.
Strike 3. Come running at me. I just flip over, and now I'm behind him. I quickly pinch his vein, and he falls unconscious to my feet.
You're out.
It feels like all of Blackthorne and Gallagher are staring at us now. It seems that Zach was, unbeaten. Whoops. Didn't mean to change that or anything.
Bex got up and beat me in ten minutes. Usually we sparred until one of us got tired, and then one of us just surrendered. Nine minutes in, I winked at her, saying I was done. She pinched the vein in my elbow, and spent me spiraling to the floor, and into blackness.
I LOVE it when you guys review and tell me what you think! Keep reviewing. Sorry for only one chapter so far today, its been busy. Hopefully I can post more!
