BANG! BANG!

My bedroom door shook from the force of the knock. I shot out of bed and all but threw myself at the door just as Theo slammed it open.
"Oh good you're up" He covered his eyes seeing me standing in the middle of the room in just my boxers.
"you're a Dick you know" I threw the closest thing to me at him, which just happened to be my left trainer.
"I'm offended, I was only trying to be helpful as you've woken up late" he pointed at the clock on the wall. I only had ten minutes to get ready and get to the ball room for the martial arts course. He handed me a cereal bar as I shot out of my room towards the door to the hallway.
"Are you not coming," as I was yanking the door open I realised he was just stood there.
"Yeah I am but we have like fifteen minutes to walk there" he had a smirk on his face, I looked over to the clock on the far wall.
"You changed the time on my clock" I rolled my eyes "Why would you do that" he grabbed a bag off the counter and shrugged
"It was funny"

The ball room only had six other people sat around whenwe got there. I guess they kept the groups small so it's easier to keep an eyeon everyone, to mine and Theo's horror Caroline was in our group.
"I think I know why Saff isn't in this group" Theo laughed and she made her waytowards us.
"Is your little girlfriend not coming" She scoffed as she scanned the door we justcame through.
"Saff is in the advanced combat group" Theo spoke with his mouth full of cerealbar "Guess you're not good enough for that" She shot him a dirty look andturned to me and slotted herself between me and him.
"You can pair with me, we could get to know each other" thankfully before I hadto respond the instructor walked in and addressed the class loudly.
"I will be here today only as Damien is currently outfitting the advanced groupwith there training schedule then he will be back for the rest of your timehere" There was a few mutters through the hall before everyone ditch their bagsby the walls and lined up. "I have been given specific instructions on who topair up with who" he rattled off names from the crumpled piece of paper in hishand, to Carolines disappointment she was paired with a scrawny boy, and I waspaired with Theo. The course was prettystraight forward, we were given an outline of the fighting styles we would betaught and then given a piece of paper which optional styles that we would beable to have private sessions in. Theo watched over my shoulder as we were onlygiven one sheet of paper with both our names on it.
"I don't want to do kick boxing" Theo whined in my ear as we left the ballroom.
"Theo its compulsory, what do you want me to do about it?" I threw a fake sympatheticlook at him. He just rolled his eyes at me and huffed.
"I bet Saff doesn't have to do kickboxing" I laughed at his comment, he wasstill feeling butthurt about the fact his sister was in the advanced course andhe wasn't. Thankfully the canteen was open so I managed to get some peace andquiet while he stuff his face.
