"you were 35 points ahead!" he shouts.
I don't reply.
"Jess, I thought you weren't scared of her." he says walking closer to me.
"Well I'm human! Okay?" i say, hesitating a little. "And i'm terrified"
Tonight, i'm sneaking out again to go train with Grayson. So like every other day, i get into my sports gear and head for the window.
"Jessy!" mum calls from down stairs. "There's a package for you!"
A package? I didn't order anything. I think to myself. "Coming!" i shout.
I pull over my gear sweatpants and a zip up jacket. I run down the stairs, skipping a few steps, until i reach the front door. There's a small boxing sitting in front of the door. I pick it up and head back up stairs.
I sit on my bed and rip the box open. "No way" i say, smiling.

2 pairs of pink Adidas boxing gloves sit neatly inside the box.
"Omg!" i say hugging the gloves. I slip my hands into them, they're perfect. There's also 2 pink hand wraps and a teeth guard in there aswell.
I feel something inside one of my boxing gloves. I take it out and see that it's a note.
Hey Jess, here's a little something from you boy Gray ;)
It said. "Thank you!" i whisper. I remember once me and Grayson were walking past an Adidas shop and through the glass, i saw these exact gloves on a stand. I wanted them so bad, but i had no money cause i'm broke.
I was almost about to cry when i realised that i'm late. I quickly, but neatly, stuff the gloves and hand wraps in my bag and head out the window.
I can't wait to just hug the shit out of Grayson, this is the best gift i have ever received. I run all the way there until i reach the building. I burst through the doors and see Grayson jump from the loud door swing i made.
"AHHHHH" i scream, throwing my bag on the floor. I jump on him, wrapping my legs around his waist. "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!" i say, repetitively.
He laughs, burying his nose in my neck. "There's my winner" he says.
"Next time when you want to open the door, try opening it softly, because you almost made me black out." he chuckles.
"Sorry, i'm just really shook by your surprise." i laugh, still hugging him tightly.
He puts me down and picks up a pair of boxing mitts. "Lets try them out" he smiles.
"I'll be glad to" i smirk, softly punching his stomach.

"No you do this" i say, showing Grayson how i punch a punching bag.
"No, no, no, step away kid. You do this" he says. He punches it a couple times with a really hard hit at the end.
"See?" he says, turning away from the punching bag. Suddenly, we both hear a creaking noise, then the punching bag falls on the floor making a loud thud. Dust flies everywhere.
