Sydney
I thought I'd give the gym a go today. I'd been feeling pretty inactive lately and I don't start at my new school until Monday. So that means that on this fine Wednesday morning, I can go to the gym without worrying about gym frat bros as they'll all be in school at the moment.
And I thought I'd jog there. I had to check my phone every three minutes or so to make sure I was going the right way. And I was. The gym was about a ten minute run from my house and the route was rememberable. I'd found my way there pretty easily.
I reached the reception and signed up. The membership was about twenty dollars a month, which was doable for me. I'd get a job somewhere soon but I have a lot of savings anyway.
I did some stretches in the locker room before heading into the main gym. There were a lot of women here today. Hot women, at that. They all looked so good while they were hot and bothered. All muscles tensed and the sweat dripping from them. So hot.
Anyway.
I didn't need to go on the treadmill since I ran here, and I'll be running back. And I decided that today was a core day. I'd do lots and lots of core work and hopefully build some abs.
As I do my routines, my eyes find a familiar blonde in gym gear and hat. And she looks even more massive that she usually does. I notice that she's with another woman, equally as built, but she's brunette and wears her hair in two braids. They seem too buddy buddy for them to be married, so I rule this other woman out as Christina's wife.
The blonde spots me and waves, and me in the middle of hauling a weight across my body, just smiling back. I didn't feel like dropping thirty kilos onto my chest just to wave. She gave me another nod before going back to her routines, which it seemed to be leg day for her. She was doing calf raises and fucking hell I wouldn't mess with her. I bet she could jump a meter high without bending her knees with those calves. It seemed like she had the heaviest weights to be working with too. Jesus.
The other woman was talking to her, and she jutted her chin towards me. Probably asking her who I was. By this time, I'd finished four out of five sets and was just stretching out on the bench. I watch as Christina answered and the other woman nodded. She too went back to her leg workout, squats with ridiculously heavy weights. She's built like a kangaroo, no joke.

As I finished packing up my stuff from the locker room, Christina and her friend had come in.
"Hey, Sydney. You alright? Get a good workout in?" Christina greeted me as she went to her locker.
"Yeah, thanks. It was really good. How about yourself?"
"Leg day is not my favourite but I can't go around with built arms and twig legs, can I?" she shrugged.
"No, I suppose not." I chuckle.
"How are you getting home?" she glanced back at me.
"I'm going to jog. It'd be a nice warm down."
"Nice, we ran here too." she said. I look to her friend who was barely even paying attention to us.
"It's relaxing, isn't it?" I wonder.
"Very," she agreed, "Can I ask, why aren't you in school?" she questioned as she closed her locker and slung her bag over her shoulder.
"I don't start until Monday." I answer.
"I see," she said thoughtfully, "Which one are you going to? I can set my girls up with you so you're not lonely."
"I don't know, sorry. But thanks for offering." I smile slightly.
"Okay, no worries. Shall we get going?"
"Uh... Yeah, okay." I kid, heading out of the locker room with my bag. We signed out of the gym and went out under the morning Cali sun.
"We'll go at your pace." Christina told me. I nodded and started jogging, "Holy shit, I thought you were gonna go slower than this," she chuckled as she caught up.
"Yeah, I don't really like slow jogs. I may as well walk if I'm going that slow." I reason.
"That's fair." she agreed.
"You might need to take the lead at some point. I don't know the way very well." I tell her.
"No worries. Did you hear that Marley?" Christina turned back to the brunette jogging behind us.
"Yup." the other woman, Marley, responded.
It wasn't long until we were home. Well, I was home first since my house was closer than Christina's was. Only by a few yards but closer nonetheless.
"Thanks for helping me back." I smile and wave at Christina and Marley as the jog on the spot on the path outside my house.
"It's no problem, kiddo. I'll see you around." Christina said, before sprinting at full speed and my fuck she was fast. She flew up the stairs to her front door and was inside, Marley racing after her. I chuckle and head into my own house.
Mum was making coffee and she had a cup for me. She's such a good mother. She smiled at me as I came into the kitchen, "Hey, Sheila. How was the gym?" she asked as she stirred the brew.
"It was good. I saw Christina there. She jogged with me back home. She's really nice. She was with her friend, Marley." I reply.
"That's great. Do you feel swol?" Mum joked, and she flexed her arms to make a point.
"So swol." I muse.
"Here's your coffee. Drink up and go shower and don't forget to stretch so you don't cramp. I've arranged lunch with the neighbours. The gay ones."
"Oh, okay. When was this?"
"While you were out." Mum shrugged.
"Okay. I best get ready then." I say, taking my coffee and heading upstairs.
"Don't forget to stretch!" Mum called after me.
"I won't!"
