Can I Survive

Chapter 7: My After School Life.

Mr. Caffery POV:

Nooooo. This can't be happening. No. No. No. NOO.

She saw me.

Oh no. What am I going to do? It all happened to fast. When she looked at me it took me too long to realize she saw me. It was like in the movies when something is about to kill someone, and they just stand there not being able to move.

I was wondering whether I should call Mary, but then I remembered how much she hated me. Also, she won't answer because she's probably with her 'bad boy boyfriend'. I really didn't like that kid. I was like him when I was in high school. Sleeping with every girl in the school. Getting drunk, getting caught by the police umm... Well, I lost count after the 5 time.

But now I have to come up with an excuse to tell Clover why I was watching her. Ughhhh I HATE GETTING CAUGHT.

Clover's POV:

I walked into the house, slowly so a knife doesn't cut my ear. To my surprise today, no one was throwing any type of weapons of any kind.

Then I remembered what today was.

Today was the day that I would get evaluated to see if I am well trained. My dad- Peter Scott, runs a secret group of well-trained teenagers to defend important people. They are sort of like secret bodyguards. This group is called SBIP(secret body guards for important people)

I've been training my whole life for this moment. I was pretty confident. I had speed, strength, and strategies. At the same time though I was really nervous. I only practiced with my older brother- Neal or with my dad. The only person who watched was my mom and sometimes Aqua. She is the only person to know about my life outside of school. In my evaluation, I would be fighting against other members of the group. I have seen some of the people in the group fighting and can I just say -they are like fighting angels. They can fight the president's bodyguards with their eyes closed. They can fight better than any black belt martial arts person can.

I went upstairs to my room. In my house, we installed one of the rooms to be a gym. There are punching bags,weights, the kind of stuff you would find at a regular gym and there are mats. Mats EVERYWHERE. Then at the very back of the huge room, there was a boxing square. The boxing square was there because a few times the members of SBIP train in the boxing square as a change of style. Most of the time they would practice on the mats and it would get boring so they asked my dad if they could have a boxing square to change places from time to time.

In my evaluation I would fight someone on the mats then I would fight someone else in the boxing square.

I changed into an outfit that I can be flexible to fight in. I had on black leggings and a black tank top because for some reason I really liked to fight in the color black. I then put on a pair of comfortable black high top shoes so they don't use my bare feet to their advantage. I texted Aqua telling her my evaluation would be at 6:00 PM. It was 4:00 PM so I decided to do my homework in the meantime.

♦♦♦

I walked into the gym ready for my evaluation. I saw there were only 10 people. I don't really know how many people are in the SBIP, to me, it looks like only 10 plus my brother, so 11 people, soon to be 12 if I make it in.

"Ok Clovy, you know the rules. Once I say it's over, or let go, you let go. Other than that, GO KICK BUTT" my dad said encouraging me, and making me chuckle as I walked away to the place on the mat where I would be assigned a partner to fight. I knew it wouldn't be Neal because that would be bias. I already know all of his skills and strategies.I could see Aqua and mom and standing behind them was Neal. He was leaning on the wall watching me. When he saw me looking at him he gave me an encouraging smile. I looked at dad, he gave me a nod that meant 'you got it'. Beside him I saw the 10 members all lined up standing at ease. They were all dressed in the same thing- a army green T-shirt that was tight around their biceps and abs, and a pair of black sweatpants.   

" Okay, Drake you're up." my dad ordered with a strong voice. A tall guy, who seamed as Drake stepped out of the line, coming to stand in front of me. He chuckled giving me the 'this is going to be easy look'. Clearly he hasn't seen me fighting. If I did make it into the SBIP today, I would be the first  girl to ever join. Not a lot of girls do this type of stuff, and since I had a father who was the boss of this group, I technically learned from the best.

Drake threw a punch at my stomach, and I quickly dodged it.

"Is that the best you can do?" I asked tilting my head to crack it. Then taking him by surprise, I stepped towards him, faking a punch to my right. He quickly moved to the left, exactly where I wanted him to be. I pulled my right arm back and punched him with my left arm. He stumbled back losing his balance, but then gaining it back again. He gave me a death stare, before kicking me in the side of my thighs with a round  house kick. Not taking my eyes of Drake, I looked at my leg.

That's gonna leave a bruise.

 I looked back up at Drake, with furry in my eyes. He had a smirk on his face. He brought his leg up to kick my face. I bent down on the floor, dodging the kick. Then without giving him a chance to recover and go for his next move, I kicked him in the balls. He crouched down in pain. I took my situation to my advantage. I punched him in the face and he fell over on his side. I got on top of him pining his legs down with my legs and pining his arms up beside his face.

"Never, and I say NEVER underestimate a girl" then I added " Especially me" 

I got up looking at my dad. I was swiping my hands up an down against each other like I just finished a really easy job. 

" Is that all you got dad? Surly one of your students has to be a challenge."

After Drake I fought 3 other guys on the mats. I won Drake and the 2 others that followed him. The last one though was pretty tough, even though I almost beat him, he got to me first. I had to admit each time they got harder and harder. After the 4 guys on the mats I had 10 minutes to refresh. I drank water and wiped the sweat of my face. I also went into my room and changed into another pair of black leggings and a different black tank top. I fought 2 guys in the boxing square. I lost to the first one, but won the second one. It took me a while to get comfortable fighting in the boxing square. It was so small.

After the fights I had fought 6 guys in total. I won 4 and lost 2 which made me good enough to join the SBIP. I am so happy. I finally get to do something that I love every day. After I got introduced and welcomed into the group, I took a shower, changed into my onesie and jumped into bed. I took my phone out and texted Aqua a good night. Before 5 minutes could even pass by I was sound asleep, waiting for my first day as a secret bodyguard.
