Errand Guy

7| Preparing

Next day he could feel changes in himself. He woke up early. He performed the ritual of every nerdy guy I mean taking a piece of paper and play a game about the girl. So he picked a page and he wrote "things she hates about me."

A. I am skinny. B. I am clean shaved C. I am poor. D. I am not her type. But what is her type?
Maybe the guy she was arguing with after all he was her boyfriend. But he was too superior. I cannot reach that level and she hates him now because he cheated and I think she does not like people arguing with her. Good for me I cannot say a single world easily. Conclusion; So a cool chick guy with a nice beard and muscular,tall and  manly. Wait a minute how is my height?

He ran towards the mirror. After analysing "Well I am taller than her however she is really tall for a girl. My height is not average. I am 6 it can work.Okay I am tall."he thought to himself. He went and sit on his study table again. "I need to be strong too she called me almost a girl last night. Should I join a gym? No I cannot afford it neither money nor time then?" His alarm clock started ringing. It was time to go. He left the paper there and went to the bathroom. He was late and almost rushing. He was unaware that her grandma read that page. His grandpa also told her everything. But she kept her silence. He quickly ran from his room to the stairs and then to the stop. He hardly catch the bus shouting bye on his way. He skipped breakfast again by the time he gets home he completely forget it. He spend all his day thinking about stuff.

He was home now. He was hungry. He put his bag on the table and sat down.

Archie: "Lunch! I am hungry."

Grandma: "You skipped breakfast again."

Archie: "Give me lunch please."

She put meal in front of him. He was quickly eating it.

Grandma: "You know it takes a special person for you to change yourself. I am really happy that you find your special person."

Archie: "Did grandpa tell you?" He was shocked.

Grandma: "You know nothing is a secret for me here. I talked to my friend you can join her gym for free."

Archie: "But... you hate asking people."

Grandma: "She owes me a lot. So do not worry.Now go and build some muscles." She cheered him.

He started thinking while eating his meal.
Next issue was that he still has to get a car. "But suppose I will buy a car she will hate it too and I seriously cannot afford a Bugatti or something.In bike at least she sits really close to me sometimes after a speed break she has to hold me too. So forget bike but where can I earn money? My bar job pays well but it's not enough!" He thought to himself.

Grandma: "What are you thinking? Why is your face sad again?"

Archie: Putting his plate down "I am thinking about money. I cannot afford an extra job. I do not have any talents as well."

Grandma: "Well now you have!" With a smile.

Archie: "You mean?"

Grandma: " You know that I was once an editor?"

Archie: "I still did not understand."

Grandma: " I know when there is a possibility. I read your diary some of the writing and poetries are really good. We can edit them and try to publish them. You should read some books to create more depth. Anyway we will work it out. I feel good about it." She spoke gently.

Archie: "Its wrong to read someone's diary grandma and I was just taking my frustration out." He was embarrassed.

Grandma: "Go and relax now. We will do this later."

He went in his room. He removed his high school uniform and jumped on the bed. He knew grandma never sugarcoat things. She was really straightforward. If she was saying something it really means something. I think I should grab what I get at least. He soon fell asleep. Again he was late and now rushing. He was wearing his black suit uniform. He waited for her an hour but she did not come not even her friend. He was disappointed with a sad face. He went back home.

It was the next day it was weekend too. His grandpa wake him up. Usually it was grandma duty. He asked him to follow him downstairs he had a smile on his face. He followed him downstairs. They were out in the garage. There was a black fresh painted bike with new tyres and gears. It looked cool.

Grandpa: "Surprise my son!Did you like it?"

Archie: "Is this your bike? You renovated it?"

Grandpa: "I cannot afford a car but it's the best I could do."

Archie: "But it's yours. I can not take it."

Grandpa: "Son I am old now. What I am going to do with it. I do not want you to take buses now. All your age fellows have cars. This is what I can do."

He ran and hugged him "Thank you I loved it!"

Grandpa: "Show me your girl sometime we are curious. Now let me go!" He laughed.

Archie: "You will not like her even I do not sometimes. She is a wrong girl."

Grandma from behind : "She is not a wrong girl if she is changing you and making you better everyday."

Archie: "Wait till you know her and you will know her." He challenged.

Grandma: "You two now come in and eat breakfast. Archie you have to go to gym today and we are going to analyse your work too. So get ready." Ordering them she went in.

Grandpa: "Women." He laughed.

They both laughed and went in. She would kill them if she heard it. After a lovely breakfast he was now forced by her grandma to go to the gym on a weekend she said: "If you can skip loving her for a day you can skip gym for a day too." As it was impossible. He was now on his new bike to his new gym. He imagined her reaction after seeing the bike " Eww still not a car! No way I am sitting on this thing." He giggled.

It was a small local gym. It was weekend but still people were there. Seeing him entering a trainer quickly attended him.

Archie: "I am.." he interrupted. Trainer: "I know now get to work." He moved in. Trainer: "Remove your shirt I need to see your body." Hesitatingly he removed his shirt .

Trainer: "Man your height is good but you are too skinny.I can see your bones. Stand on the weight machine."

He was now embarrassed. He stood on the weight machine helplessly.

Trainer: "53 kg Yo man! You have ideal woman weight. Women must be jealous of you." He laughed. Archie turned away and quickly wore his shirt. He was now pissed.

Trainer: " You need to eat and exercise from now on."

After that he pushed him to trampoline. He could run well. All he did was running anyway. But when it came to weight lifting he was like a girly girl. He was really bad at it. He has to do kids level in the beginning it was really shameful. He did not let him catch a break for next 2 hours. He finally let him go. He was sweating a lot.

Trainer: "I saved my number in your phone. Remember you need to eat."

He went out. His muscles were cramping. He was heading back home. All he needed was a shower.
