All of the boys watched nervously as Odessa and Hailey sparred. Eli and Grayson catch each other's awkward gaze from only feet away from each other. "What do we do if this doesn't work?" He asked Oliver and ducked under his long arm.
"Uhhhh," Oliver trailed and threw another punch, Eli blocking it and kicking his foot into his chest. "Worst case scenario, we lock them in a room together. An empty room, of course."
Eli jumped when Oliver came down with a leg sweep. While he was still down, Eli kicked him square in the shoulder. "Maybe getting their anger out today will make them feel better," he spoke hopefully.
"We'll see. Wonder how Hammy's feeling."
Demetri hooked his ankle around a distracted Grayson's leg and he took him down. "Alright Gray, you're kind of boosting my confidence right now and we know that never happens. I need you to focus please."
Grayson groaned and raised himself back up. "I know man, I'm sorry. I just feel like an idiot." He rocked back and forth on his heels and threw two punches, Demetri boxing them his forearm and wrist. "It's hard when your girlfriend is also one of your best friends."
"Yeah, I understand." Demetri did a high punch and Grayson managed to hit him under his arm, then kicking him in the ribs. "Girls are complicated."
"You're telling me, brother."
With a short huff, Odessa threw a high punch and Hailey blocked it, the blonde using her other hand to punch her in the side. Hailey hissed and she did a side kick. Odessa moved out of the way and quickly kicked the back of her leg that was still on the ground. Hailey fell to the ground and sighed loudly. "You're thinking too hard."
"Thanks."
Odessa almost rolled her eyes. She held out her hand. Hailey took it but avoided eye contact as she came back up. The two girls stood there awkwardly. The blonde threw her hands up. "Why are we still doing this?" She finally let out.
"I don't know," Hailey mumbled, still avoiding eye contact as she watched the others fight and train.
"Is this really what our friendship boils down to? Fighting over something so stupid that we can't get past it?" Odessa continued, aged striking her light features. "We're not just bets friends, Hailey. We're sisters. You seriously want to ruin a sisterhood?" When she didn't get a response, she scoffed. "Whatever." She mumbled and stormed off.
Hailey watched her walk away and slowly, the guilt she was feeling on the side crept upon her face. She licked her lips and stared down at the ground.
Deciding it would be best if she trained on her own, Odessa sparred with the punching bag. Her blonde ponytail whipped around her head a she threw forceful punches into the bag. She huffed and first did a front kick, then a side kick, and finally did a spinning roundhouse kick. Am I being too nice again? Am i not angry enough? She kept asking herself. Odessa was very aware that she had the ability to get angry but she hated it. She hated being angry. She wasn't made to be this angry.
