Boxing with boys

~Chapter 4~

We pulled up outside EFA, and I was in shock. It was beautiful, it was a big white building, with a long sloping lawn in front of it.

I don't know what I expected, but it certainly wasn't this. I thought a fighting academy would be a bit grungy, but this is incredible.

I got out of the car with the boys, and grabbed my gym bag. We walked up to the school into the office, to get my schedule. After getting it from receptionist, I went over to my newly assigned locker and looked over my schedule for the day.

"First up," I tell the boys, "I have science, then English and maths. I don't understand, why do we need to do all of these classes if we are going to be fighters?"

"It's so if we get an injury or something that stops us from fighting, we can go into a normal profession."

As I was about to respond, the bell rang. I farewelled the boys and followed their directions to science. Unfortunately today I didn't share any classes with them.

I got into the classroom and sat down at the back of the class. With a girl that had pink hair and blue eyes on my right, and I guy with brown hair and green eyes on my left. I smiled shyly to the girl and she grinned back.

"Attention class," called the teacher, "attendance time." I zoned out until they got to the last names beginning with s. "Maddison Stacey."

"Here," said the girl with the pink hair on my right.

"Daniel Simmons,"

"Present. No seriously would you like a present Mr Hargreaves," said the grinning brunette, pulling out a neatly wrapped gift from his bag. I could tell he was a trouble maker.

"No thank you Daniel, I remember what happened last time you gave me a gift. If you do it again I'll give you a detention, understood?" Me Hargreaves announced. Daniel just nodded. "Turn to page 142 of your science book."

I tuned out most of science and now I have English, finally I subject I actually enjoy. Science is a waste of time in my opinion, so boring. Picking up my stuff from my locker I walk towards Ms. Tamil's class. I sit down at the back of the class and wait for the teacher. As I'm waiting, Daniel and Maddison from my previous class show up an sit down next to me.
"Hey, what's your name pretty girl?" Says Daniel with an annoyingly perfect smirk on his face.

"Something that doesn't concern you," I reply, wearing an equally annoying smirk.

"Ooh feisty, but it does concern me if I want to rumble with you, if you know what i mean," he ends with a wink.

"Ooh I'm so scared, and if you don't piss off right now, the only thing you'll be rumbling with, is my fist. If you know what I mean," I also wink at him.

He just smirks, he opens his mouth to reply, but I'm saved his response because the teacher enters the room.

"Hi class, we have a new student today, could you please come up and introduce yourself." Ms. Tamil said.

I walk up to the front and stand in front of the whiteboard.
"Hi everyone, my name is Jamie Sinclair, I'm here to study boxing on a scholarship from overseas. That means I'm hella good at it, so if one you two bitches annoys me," I say addressing the class, "I'll be the shit out of you. Thank you," I finish, bowing, before walking to my seat with a smirk on my face, and leaving the standing there with her jaw on the floor.
"Umm Ms Tamil," I say, "you might want to close your mouth you wouldn't want to catch flies." She immediately closes her mouth, while I sit down.

Daniel just sits next to me with his mouth open, I just reach over push up his while whispering "not you as well".

We had just finished lunch and our rest period so I was changing into my gym clothes. I slipped on my pink Nike sports bra, a turquoise tank top and black shorts. I leave the change room, and enter the meeting area of the fighters. The teacher tells us to get in the gym for an hour long session.

I begin by warming doing different street he's for my whole body then different movements. I do a few lunges on each leg, then some air squats as warm up for my legs, then I do 10 knee push-ups and some shadow boxing for my arms.

I liked to start with muscle training, so I went over and picked up two 12 kg Dumbbells. I plugged in my iPod, and started jamming out to Hymn to the Weekend, by Coldplay. I began doing bicep curls, 3 sets of 12 reps.

Then I did a tricep workout, I raised the weights above my head, then bent my elbows so my arms were going back, until my hands were level with my head, 3 x 12 reps.

Next push-ups, 5 x 12. Onto abs, I started with simple crunches, doing 50, I hung from the pull-up bar and raised my legs as high as they would go, 3 x 12 reps. Finally legs I finished with squats using the rack, and walking lunges.

Finally cardio , I actually really enjoyed cardio, I found it was time where I could put my mind to ease and just get on with working out. I picked up a rope and began my circuit, 1.5 mins moderate skipping, 45 sec fast as I can, then 30 secs double unders, Then 15 seconds rest. I repeat this 4 times for a twelve minute workout then.

I go on the treadmill, 2 mins jogging on a high incline then 2 minutes sprinting on the flat, I then slowly jogged on the treadmill for a minute before I resorted it another 4 times. By the end I was exhausted, I headed back to the locker rooms and I grabbed my bag, we now have a short break before I begin boxing. As much as I love boxing, I really just want to sleep. Oh well we don't always get what we want in life.
