I change into my training clothes. A black track pant, white tank top and I throw on a simple black jacket to hide my arms.
They are my prized possession, not for everyone else to see.
I tie my hair into a makeshift ponytail. Tighten my shoelaces and start walking to the ground.
Mr. Hale didn't mention which ground, it has to be either football or handball ground.
I check the handball ground but I see no one there. They must be on the football ground.
Huff!
I reach football ground and see people there. They are not in a group, everyone is standing differently.
I reach for the girl closest to me, a long haired blonde and tap her on her shoulder.
She turns around, wow! She's beautiful!
"Hi I'm- "
"Mallika! Finally it's so nice to see you" she says hugging me.
"I..err..umm"
"Sorry I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Sarah" the blonde one says.
"Oh Hi Sarah, it's good to see you"
"Thank you. Come I'll introduce to everyone else, the brown haired she's Jenny, that man over there with sexy bangs he's John and the red haired one is Kevin" she explains as we move to each of them and say hi.
"And who is that?"
"The one in black from top to bottom? That's our head, Mr. Robert Hale" Sarah says.
"Okay"
"Comes on" she says and leads me to Mr. Hale.
When we reach him she says, "Mr. Hale she's here" all the bubbliness of her voice gone.
"Umm, I'm Mallika, nice to meet you Mr. Hale"
He doesn't turn around but says, "Miss you are late" he says in a deep, scary but velvet voice.
"What?"
"It's 9:01, I asked you to come sharp at nine, you are late" Hale repeats.
"Wait, one minute, 2 seconds and 5 microseconds late. So you can't even consider that late, technically I'm on time"
Sarah gives me a scared look, okay, maybe I wasn't supposed to say this.
He turns around to face me.
Omfg!
Look at those perfectly toned muscles! Wow!
This is Robert Hale?!? I thought he'd be around fifty something! Not so young! Not twentish!
How am I going to concentrate around him?
Close your mouth silly- my inner voice scolds.
"Whatever go run" he says.
This man is rude.
"Whom are you speaking to? Anyway this is not the way to speak to any of us"
"I was speaking to you Miss" He adds.
"It's Mallika"
"Whatever Miss, four rounds of the ground then we'll begin" the evil adds.
"Four rounds?"
"Yes that's a little less for the beginning, maybe six then? Go now run along Miss" Robert Hale says.
