Revenge, the final cut

Chapter 9

' C'mon guys - heey Harry - lets get started !' John said as he ruffled some kids hair on the way to the centre of the room.

It was quite a big room, not expecting it to fit into such a small building. The walls were very plain, plastered white. And it was so cold.

There was no colour except for a 2 by 2m hole in the wall where I saw  equiptement being stored, I saw some matts and trampolines poking out.

' Welcome to our first class today ! I will start by teaching you a few things and then later Lam, our very, very grumpy sensei will come in and see how you guys are doing, okay?'

I didn't know John was also an actual teacher, I thought he just helped here and there, not that he was in charge of a class, how young the participants might be. Seeing him in a position like that, and seeing all the children listen to him, gave me a very different image of him.

' So grab a partner and lets get started !' He finished.

The thought of going up to a child and asking if he or she wanted to be my partner felt a little creepy, however I wasn't going to just stand here and wait to be chose. I was always the last one to be picked with PE at school, and I didn't want that streak to continue here.

As kids rushed over to their classmates, I stood still, sticking out like a thorn amongst the others. Well exept for the little kid on the left looking at his mother, crying.

Well what did I have to lose?

' Hey' said as I walked over, throwing my pride on the ground.

' Why are you so big?' His big brown eyes told me.

I wasn't actually that big, 1.65 meters. And before I even had the chance to reply, John came over and interupted.

' I do not think that this is a good idea..' John said as he slowely walked over, probably stepping on my pride on the way over.

' Why dont I' pointing at me ' go with you, and why dont you' pointing at big brown eyes ' go with Alice and Sandra' pointing at two girls who were loudly giggling asif they had been friends for years, instead of just meeting.

Without a word big brown eyes left. And withouth any time for silence akward moments John continued.

' So we are going to do a little warm-up race now, alright ! See that wall? you and your partner are going to run from the one side to the other as fast as you can ! I wonder who wil be the fastest..'

' me me me !' The group chanted, and there was an immediate seperation in those who were competitive and those who weren't.

He split the group into two so we would not bump into each other the whole time whilst running.

I was group one

' Mind being group one and two? I have to run with group one and two because I am the example and well you are my partner ' He winked.

I only nodded because I needed to get in good shape anyways.

And at the count of his whistle we ran. Well not actually, it was more like fast walking? I felt like a giant between those toddlers.

' Dont step on the feet, dont step on the feet.' I kept murmerring to myself as I walked.

' Miss whats your name is that all you got?' John said from the left side

He forgot my name? Just makes me hate him even more.

But then I rememberd that I never gave him my name.
