In Control (HIATUS)

Ch 10: The Club

Ryker pov:

School has been boring, soccer has been okay, but training is where it's been fun. We managed to convince our dad to train us two days out of the weekday along with weekends. It took some time but she caved when Athena joined the band wagon and became a prodigy at everything.

There haven't been drastic changes in our bodies but it was decently noticeable. We packed on a little more muscle and had better diets along with better stamina and strength. I loved weight training and Arthur loved to run. I motivated him to lift and he motivated me to run. Athena was good at both weirdly.

In the morning I would complete 50 pushups and sit ups before getting ready for school. Breakfast was usually heavy with protein, veggies, and fruits. After school no matter what I would go on a run with Arthur to keep our stamina and endurance up.

We've taken it extremely seriously in hopes of getting more responsibility from our dad. We got lucky enough last week to be taught how to clean and operate guns, our mom even joined us. Finding out about our dad's work was scary but it opened our eyes to many things about both of our parents.

For instance, I'm aware we're rich, not even rich, wealthy. Wealthy enough to afford a manor in upper Manhattan, a cabin a state away, and plenty more. My surprise with our wealth is because I never knew we had a country club membership!

If I had known, I would've been over there terrorizing the rich years ago. I'm all for having wealth and stuff but it's not fair to others who are dirt poor. Our parents made sure we understood the power of money and how much we had.

They instilled good morals into us. We gave to the homeless whenever we could, helped at shelters, donated massive amounts of money to charity. We did plenty of good things with the money we had.

That doesn't mean we don't also have fun with it or don't use it as we please. Our closets are full of different designer clothes, we had anything we could want, and didn't have to worry about how much we spent. Even then we still have an allowance and didn't always get what we wanted when we wanted.

My point in this is, people know we're rich just like we do. This helps with status at school and the soon to be country club we are going to today after school. When our dad came back from a business trip we asked if she could take us and she agreed.

She also agreed to take Jay with us, to make it a full family fun time. The school bell rang and we were let out, I quickly found Jay and Arthur. My attention was diverted when I saw bright red locks of hair pass by.

She smiled and waved at me and I returned it, my stomach feeling weird doing so. Arthur grabs the back of my shirt and pulls my attention away.

"Why don't you ask her out?" He teased me, smirking at my now reddening face.

"Why don't you ask Oliver out?" His face went bright red and he punched me in the arm. I put him in a headlock and received a punch to the leg.

"Let's go weirdos." Jay spoke up. We turned our attention to him and tackled the guy.

He struggled as we rough housed with him, moving out of the school as we did. Getting outside we let him go and talk about tests coming up. Our dad honked the horn and we got in, happy to be going to the club.

Az picked me up with a car full of noisy kids, all of them talking over each other or looking at their phones. They greeted me when I got in, happy to take a half day at work. She kissed my cheek and took off.
