Spy's Broken Heart

Chapter 3

"What did I just agree to?" I thought.

You may be thinking if you read the last chapter. I made fun of Ryan when he took forever to beat up John and Gordon. Now they challenged me to fight with them.

Let me explain how this goes. In a one versus three, the one is the target being tested. In my case, I'm the target, but I'm not being tested. So I have to pin all three guys, well not pin, but I have to have their backs touch the mat to get them out.

Easier said than done.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I stood in a balancing position, while Ryan, Gordon, and John stood a meter away surrounding me. I glanced over at Master Leong looking at his phone. I came up with a strategy, and decided to wing the technique.

I took a deep breath, and Master Leong blew the whistle. The weird thing is that the boys didn't move all at once. They looked at each other like they're having a conversation on their own. I rolled my eyes, knowing what they are discussing. When they glanced back, I had already taken John down.

(Ryan's Pov)

The boys and I surrounded Sky, as she took deep breaths, who knows what's going on in that mind of hers.

Sensei Leong blew the whistle, but the guys and I were have a conversation with our eyes. We planned to take it easy on Sky, considering that she is a girl that has very minimum physical strength. We finished 'mind reading' and decided that I would go first since I'm the weaker link. Without even a second of us staring at her, we heard a thud, and the mat quake.

"Ah!" John groaned. I jolted my head in his direction the see him laying on the floor, and Sky standing up. She brushed off her hands and turned to glare at me.

"One down, two to go, " she muttered.

"Dude you just git your ass kicked by a gir-, I meant Skylar," Gordon pointed out. John only glared at him, rolled himself up and walked to stand by Sensei.

Before I knew it, Sky charged at Gordon taking a graceful swing at his face. Gordon, being the smart and alert guy, stopped it easily with his forearm. They both smirked and Sky flew back.

"Master of samurai training," Skylar joked, "don't disappoint me," she said. Gordon spread apart his legs in a supportive position.

(Skylar's Pov)

With one down, this started to get easy. I ran towards Gordon still shocked from John laying on the mat, and took a swing to his face. Him being a pro at being alert, stopped it easily. A smirk crept up my lips and so did Gordon's. He spread apart is legs for support, and an idea came up.

I sped to him. Just as he was about to block my move, I slid inbetween his legs and quickly got up afterwards. I turned to face him and decided to trip him from behind. Just as I was about to do that, he whipped over and threw me past his shoulder. Following the rules, I determined not to hit my back by landing off my hands and returned to my feet. I was grateful that I took cheerleading last year.

"Phew... That was a close one," I said in shock. The corner of his mouth punched up, and I bared a smile. He took a second to catch an unnoticed breath. With the Gordon that he is, underestimating me, I charged at him, grabbing his arm, and tripping him.

"Not bad for a newbie," he huffed.

I glared at Ryan while Gordon stood with John. I could see him gulp, and the three men smirking at the corner of my eye. I stepped toward him, and he stood his territory, only trembling.

"Aw, is the boy that challenged me scared?" I said in a baby voice, and puffed out my lips. The playfully glared at me before charging at me out of nowhere. I tried blocking, but hey I'm admitting this only now, I'm a girl and he's a guy. I protected myself, and he swung full on. I dodged for the first time, as he gently put me in a choke hold. I stumble a little, but I'm not planning on losing. I tried to step on him, but I couldn't locate his feet. I elbowed him, which was useless, I blushed at the hard stomach I made contact with.

I started to get irritated and remembered my original strategy that I discarding from my mind. I stopped the movement for a second and took a deep breath.

I put on a hurt look, and maybe an eye was teary, I wasn't sure. I looked up slightly. "Ow... Ryan you're hurting me," I whined. I could see his expression change dramatically and he released me, dumbass.

"Oh sorry Sky, are you oka- AH!" I whipped his left arm so hard, he front flipped and crashed on his back. I crouched to his level.

"I'm perfectly fine, and you-"

"Just got your butt spanked by Skylar!" I was surprised that Master Leong said that.

He supported himself with his forearms, and glared at me, "She cheated!!"

"No I didn't," I said getting up.

"Yes you did, you manipulated my kindness!"

"The rules were to pin your opponent's back to the mat, it doesn't say anything about manipulating kindness!" I shot back, leaving him speechless.

"What were you doing anyway?" John joined in.

"Ya, you didn't lay a finger on me, " Gordon pointed out. I was about to explain what I did, but Master budged in.

"Are you idiots stupid," he said, "Skylar dear, explain your strategy."

I rolled my eyes, "since I'm admitting that I don't have much strength in my arms," I could see them smile, "I focused, my strength on my legs, and tripped you down, instead on punching you down," I explained and earned nods of aprovement.

"That explains why your arm is shaking from flipping Ray," John said. I agreed rubbing my now soar arm.

"What was with the whining?" Ryan asked.

"You were coming at me pretty hard there buddy." I saw Gordon glaring, John brushing my his right index finger with his left, mouthing, "shame shame," and Master shaking his head in disappointment. He looked at me with delicate eyes again. He wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I'm sorry," was all he said before planting a lingering kiss on my forehead. My face just exploded, and the guys' mouth dropped. We all stared at Ryan with nothing but electrifying shock. He rotated his head, shifted his attention in confusion.

"What?" He shrugged.
