Alex was weird at some point because he is so strong and I've come to see that, his strong biceps and all, and he was struggling with the push-ups. Me too, because the instructor was counting at a fast rhythm, but Alex could've easily done 120 push-ups, even 200. We finished almost at the same time and I noticed that he wasn't sweating that much! He was okay with the exercise, why would he pretend not to be?
As I stood up from the ground, with my arms shaking, I saw Alex and his roommate, Ethan, I think, sitting next to each other. But the funny and interesting part was that Ethan pulled Alex's right ear. Does he think the same as I do?
I was feeling embarrassed for being awful at the exercise right in front of everyone. I have strength, but push-ups are a red flag for me. I never liked it so I never tried to invest in it. It is what it is. The thing is that my day just got terrible after this. I was so pissed off! I mean, I'm so good with everything else, why couldn't I've done 80 push-ups, even though I never liked it? I'm such a mess, I need to stop with this thoughts that I don't like, then I won't try
it again. It always has consequences.
The instructor continue his stupid speech:
- The training is better than the one you did yesterday. It's about physical training. I will choose the pairs. First one, the clever boy and Allen.
The idiot approached me and had the audacity to say:
- I won't be hard with you this time, little shit
My first thought was “he doesn't have any idea of how I improved. I'm a quick learner and that's my leverage"
- First, you're going to work one by one at some point. One starts defending and the other attacks. Then, you turn - Informed the angry rat who's called superior.
- You want to attack first? - The idiot asked.
- No. You can do it.
- Okay then.
His left fist tried to punch the right side of my ribs and I escaped it. He looked at me amused.
He tried again, but this time with his right leg, trying to catch my ankle and positioning me in the ground. Once again, he failed.
- You have good reflexes. – he said.
- I know. - I replied, smiling a bit.
He tried one more time, but at my neck. He stretched out his left arm and I could grab it, while rotating so that we switched positions and he was disarmed. He smiled.
- I can see how much you have improved. Let's turn.
I attacked immediately. I tried to hit him on his shoulder so that I could bring him imbalance but he grabbed my armand my waist, putting me quickly on the floor while he was above me, really close.
- I said I wasn't going to be hard on you this time. I didn't say I was willing to let you win. – he whispered. Our breath was accelerated, and for a couple seconds, that was the only thing we heard.
We were too close.
- Next time, you will be hard on me, and I will be the worst to you, idiot.
- I can't wait to see that. – he said, looking through my eyes.
His look was too intense. Those mixed green and blue safira eyes were driving me crazy! He irritates me so much.
- What? - he asked
Suddenly, I had an idea.
After he asked that, I punched him on his right side of the stomach and turned our positions. He was on the floor and I was above him.
- Never underestimate a Dwarf.
Then I stood up and turned my back at him, facing an angry Dominic.
