Boxing with boys

~Chapter 3~

We pulled up outside a large red brick two storey house. It has ivy running down one side and lots of panelled windows. I get out of the car along with Ben, Julian, Billy, and Adrian.

I walk up the steps to the house with my bag, and wait for Ben to unlock it. As the door swings inward I'm blown away, we're standing in an entrance hall. On the right and left are two curving staircases up to the second storey. We walk up the left staircase two a hall with 6 doors, 4 are the guys bedrooms, 1 is my room, and 1 is a bathroom.

I walk into my room a gasp of shock it was beautiful. The walls were painted an olive green, with a huge double bed in the middle. With a white bedside table on each side of the bed.
"Sorry about the colour, again we thought you were a guy," said Billy.
"No, it's perfect, I love green," I exclaimed loudly.
"K, dump your stuff. We'll give you a house tour," said Julian.

They show me the kitchen, 2 bathrooms, living room, games area with a pool table and Xbox, and the garden which has a huge pool. By the end I was absolutely amazed their house, I mean our house was really beautiful. I couldn't help but tell the guys that.

"This place is stunning guys," I say turning to all of them.
"Yeah maybe, but not as stunning as you," murmurs Ben, I don't think I was supposed to hear that, oops.
I blush at his comment, and turn to hide my crimson cheeks.

They guys had a free week so they spent it showing me around Sydney. We went on a ferry to Manly, and walked across the harbour bridge to Luna Park.

That was probably my favourite night hanging with everyone and going on all the rides, pigging out on cotton candy, and exploring Coney Island.

They also showed me Darling Harbour and Circular Quay. They were absolutely beautiful at night with the lights and stars twinkling above us.
Unfortunately all good things must come to an end, as on Monday I would begin school.

I was kind of nervous about training, I didn't know what the standard would be. I didn't want to fall behind on my first week. In the morning we had book work, going to 3, hour long classes starting at 8:30 finishing at 11:30. At 11:45 we have a half an hour lunch break. Then 45 minutes after lunch before we start our hour long gym session. Where we skip, lift weights and run. After another short break we begin our main fighting style lessons, 1 hour 30 minutes of boxing finishing with 10 minutes of sparring. Another break then an hour of our side style, mine is MMA, using kicks, punches and wrestling styles.

That was the end of our day, then we'd either shower at the academy or go home at shower there, and then have dinner. Tomorrow was Monday, and I was sitting down to my last dinner before I become a student.

"Ben had made pulled pork and beans, which was delicious we were all sitting around the table while Ben boasted about his 'amazing' cooking abilities. It was really good, but I wasn't going to inflate his already overly large ego by telling him that. At first I thought Ben was always grumpy and didn't talk, turns out that he was cocky and arrogant but had bad mood swings. Same with Billy, I thought he was quite annoying and vain, he is actually just really happy all the time. Julian I was right about, he is the serious one in the group, at parties he is always the driver. And makes sure every one gets home okay. Andrew I was also right about him, he is quite shy and never speaks out on his own.

"So how is everyone finding this delicious meal, cooked by moi," exclaims Ben, pulling me out of my thoughts, with a smirk on my face.

"It's okay, I could have made it better," I reply copying his smirk.

"Is that a challenge, Sinclair," says Ben putting his fist onto the table.

"No,"

"Then what the hell is it,"

"A promise, that I can cook better than you, so you should probably stop being so damn cocky, or I'll slap that smirk off that ugly face of yours," I finish with a grin. 

"Oooh, feisty Sinclair, Ben likes."

"Are you really that stupid that you have to refer to yourself in the third person or is it just me that thinks that,"

"Just you"

"Why you little," I say jumping up from the table trying to punch his face in. I'm stopped however by strong arms wrapping around my shoulders. I turn to face Billy with a grin plastered on his face.

"As much as we found you and Bens show entertaining, and wish to watch more of. I have to stop you before you hurt Ben over there. He isn't strong enough to take your hits."

"Hey," growled Ben.

"What,"said Billy, putting his hand up in mock surrender. "I was just stating the truth."

"Enough," says Julian, jumping to his feet. "Guys stop either sit your asses back on those chairs or leave. I'm sick or you bickering like an old married couple," looking between Ben and I, then Ben and Billy. 

I couldn't help but snicker at the terrified look on Billy's face. At that everyone turned to me with an accusing look on their face.

"What, do you think this is funny," says Ben angrily.

"No, just the look on Billy's face after being confronted by Julian, was priceless," I say.

"Hey, you don't know how scary it is being under Julian's glare, it's enough to make someone like you piss their pants." Billy retorted.

"Hey what's that supposed to mean," I say glaring at Billy.

"Everyone, just shut up your giving me a headache, I'll sort the dishes you guys just go to your room or something." Julian says, massaging his temples.

We all traipse up the stairs to our rooms staring daggers at each other before we all got to our doors. I went inside slamming my door behind me, as heard the others do the same.
