The player and the shy girl (english version)

In the Ring of Uncertainty

"Leave it, I'll do it myself." She takes the bag and brings it to my room...

I look at my wrist, noticing some bruises on my arm...

I exhale and walk to my room.

"You just need to put it on the bookshelf." I nod in agreement as she leaves my room. I start putting the books away on my shelf.

Once I finish, I head to the kitchen.

"Emma, I passed by the gym. You have class today from 6 to 9, so you need to get ready soon."

"Okay, thanks!"

I go to my room to prepare my gym bag. I practice boxing but also do exercises for my overall fitness. I started boxing about a year ago. I had to stop when I was 7 due to my accident, but I picked it up again last year.

I put on my leggings and a short top and head out.

"I'm leaving," I say to my aunt, who waves goodbye.

A few minutes later, I enter the gym.

I spot my coach. "Emma, I've been waiting for you!"

"I'm not going to leave again," I smile as I walk with him to my training area.

We warm up, and then I begin sparring with another kid.

After a few minutes, I move to the heavy bag to refine my technique.

"Keep your hands higher, Emma," my coach instructs.

As I respond to my opponent's attack, the door opens. I turn and see him in front of me again, but I choose to ignore him.

"Don't get distracted, Emma!" my coach reminds me

My opponent takes the opportunity to hit me, and at the last moment, I defend myself but end up on the ground, clutching my injured wrist.

A gasp escapes me as I push him away and remove my boxing glove.

My coach looks at me, confused, since he's been talking to Lucas the whole time.

He comes close and takes my hand,a tear rolls down my cheek as I look back while in pain...

"Fuck" i whispered

I can feel his gaze on me...

"What happened to you?" Your whole wrist is bruised...

Lucas is surprised... looking  me, I looked at him for a moment and I tried to get up...

He makes me sit down and brings me a spray, he puts it on my hand and as a result to stung..

He is close to me, looking at my hand...

"I'll go get something to wrap it up," my coach says.

And he leaves me alone with him... No, please,  turn back... This is a nightmare, I don't want to experience him again three times in one day...

He looks at me and hasn't said a word... "You didn't defend yourself well, idiot," he tells me, and I give him a half-glance.

"It's not defense stupid, you caused this!" I replied, seeing him get angry.

At that moment, my coach walks in...  Someone calls him, and he looked at me.

"Lucas, you handle it, and I'll be right back," he tells him and leaves...

He takes the gauze, sets his bag down, and leans over... He takes my hand, and I look away... He starts wrapping it.

I feel him looking at me strangely...

My hand hurt and i jerked from the movement. He looked at me , 'Stay still!' he said in his deep voice, and I glanced at him irritably."

He finishes and takes his bag, heading to his training...

I get up from the chair and put my boxing glove back on. My coach approaches and looks at me...

'Are you going to continue?' He looks at me in surprise.

'Yes,' I said, and I head to my side, i was directly across from Lucas..."

i started to hit my opponent, trying not to hit me in my arm.

He tried to make a move to hit me, so I trapped his leg and brought him down with force. He hit the ground three times to call for a break.

"I see you haven't lost your strength," my opponent tells me, and I smile.

"You're a tough nut," my coach says, and I look at him.

"I'm going to get a bottle of water," I said and head toward the cafeteria.

"Two bottles of water."

I grab them and i got back inside.

I see Lucas fighting. His opponent has taken him down while we're on break.

He gets up and looks at me as he adjusts his shirt. I throw him the water, and he catches it.

I go back to my side as I open the bottle of water.

I turn around and see him behind me, and I'm surprised as I swallow awkwardly and cough.

He looks at me and pats me on the back.

He laughs and walks away.

"Weirdo," I said, looking at him.

"Let's go, Emma," my coach tells me as the break ends.

POV LUCAS

I finish with the other guy, and that silly girl distracts me! I watch her as she talks to her coach. My opponent takes me down, and then our coach tells us to take a break.

She comes in and throws me the water bottle. I don't say anything and just look at her. What is she trying to play nice for? I take off my shirt since I'm sweaty. I walk behind her without her noticing, and she suddenly turns around, swallows awkwardly, and coughs. I pat her on the back and laugh. She probably liked the view and didn't expect it.

"weirdo," she says, but I heard her. I was going to respond, but the coach came in.

He told us to start again. I'll fix you later Emma...
