An opportunity gained

Chapter 10

I was throwing a few punches at the big sack in front of me before I heard the door slam. 

"Zach" I looked up wondering who shouted me. 

"Yep" Then I realised it was Mark. 

"When Sam's done stretching will you both come to my office? I need to talk to you both" Who's Sam? Then I saw a small girl with messy brown hair and a scruffy school uniform on stood right next to him. I'm just going to pretend I know her. 

"Yep" I flashed a smile then carried on with what I was doing. 

After about 15 minutes someone tapped me. I couldn't be bothered looking up so I ignored them. The tapping continued.

"For fucks sake, what?!" I snapped and turned around and that Sam was stood there. 

"Ermm...we need to go and see Mark" Oh shit yeah, I forgot about that. 

"Oh yeah, sorry by the way" 

"It’s okay" She smiled. She looked different now she had her training clothes on, although she still had messy hair. 

"WHAT?!" We somehow managed to shout at the same time, she starting laughing so I thought I would be polite and laugh too. 

"You're my top students and I think it would be a great opportunity for you" I feel cool being a top student, in your face dad. 

"I'M GOING TO BE A WWE DIVA" Sam suddenly sung, bloody hell she was excited. 

"Calm down" She just glared at me. I'll give you a tip now; never piss a girl off when she's in a happy mood. 

"He's got a good point Sam! None of the other students know and I think it would be better off that way" Ha, in your face as well Sam. 

"Now I just need your parents to sign theses" Urg great, this one’s going to be a challenge. Maybe I could get Linda to sign it then tell dad just before I leave; now there's an idea. 

Sam suddenly stormed out. 

"Does she always do that?" I just thought I would ask because I really don't know much about this girl. 

"Yeah, you get used to it though" 

"Ahh okay, well see you later then?" 

"Later Zach" And with that I walked back to the changing rooms jumped in the shower then went to wait for my dad. *Beep* *Beep* *Beep*. Who is that?

*Beep* *Beep* Oh its Linda...why is she here and not my dad? 

"Ermm...hey Linda..." I didn't really know how just react. 

"Hello Zach" I just stared. 

"Listen I know I'm pretty but get in the car, we need to get home" I laughed and hoped in. Trying to figure out how to word it I just blurted it out. 

"No offense but why are you here and not my dad? I didn't even know you could drive" It’s the truth, dad drove everywhere. To the supermarket on a Monday, to Linda's parents on a Saturday and to his parents on a Sunday. 

"He told me you had a bit of an argument and he wanted to cool off before you got home. And I've always been able to drive, how do you think I used to get to places?" Oh yeah good point...the rest of the journey was quiet.

"Ermm...here" I handed her the letter and opened that door.

"What is it?"

"Read it" Okay that wasn't too nice but I didn't feel like explaining, I think she could tell because she suddenly started reading it.

"Oh right, okay...I'll show it to your dad and se-" I cut her off.

"There's no point, he's not going to let me go" And with that I walked into the house leaving her.

I couldn't sleep that night; I decided to get some water, which always helps.

"But it will be good for him"

"I don't care, he's not going" What are they on about?

"But if he goes and see's what it’s like then if it’s not for him he can come back and say he tried" Linda was talking about me.

"I don't care, it’s a waste of time" I wanted to walk in there and tell him to die in hell but I know that's not going to help.

"But it’s not a waste of time to him. It’s a dream, like when you had a dream" My dad had a dream?

"Your dream was to become a doctor, you wanted to help people" That's a weird dream.

"His dream is to travel the world and entertain people" It is.

"How would you feel if your father stopped you?" Yeah dad! I shouted in my head.

"I would hate him"

"Exactly, do you want your son to hate you?"

"No"

"Then let him go, if you try and stop him it will make him even more determined" She's got a point.

"Why are you always right?" Because she's a woman.

"Plus he's good" Did I just hear that?! Not only has she convinced my dad to let me go and try to become a WWE superstar but she thinks I'm good. I think I love this woman.
