Indebted To Him

8//Who Am I

"Honestly, dude, I don't even know why I'm doing this. Who am I? Usain Bolt?"

I stared up at the buff man right next to me. He was glaring at me, somebody's grumpy. "Ten more laps."

I quickly started running, somewhere clearly far away from Mr. Grumpy. He's like the grinch, but instead he's stealing my ice cream. Yeah, thats right, I'm being tortured. No ice cream if I don't do 10 laps.

I dramatically fall on the ground and I immediately felt like sleeping. My legs were aching and I felt a bump underneath me. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry that I stepped on you. You're so small, I didn't even notice you. Wow, you're like a teddy bear."

Oh, it's teddy bear man. The cutie with the chubby cheeks, he looks tired. "Funny, I could say the same thing about you," I get up.

"Hey! I'm not small, look at my muscles. Plus, I've been running thirty laps everyday."

"No, I meant you're the cutest teddy bear."

He turns red and looks away. I laugh, I seem dead, I mean I will be later. "Hey! You! Start Running!" We both look at each other terrified, glad to know I wasn't the only one scared of that demon.

"Okay, Mr. Grumpy!"

We both start running and suddenly, a joke pops up in my head. "What do you call a bagel that can fly?"

He starts thinking for a moment while running with me.

"A plain bagel!"

"A plain bagel!"

We both start laughing and I'm just wheezing. Wow, I have the weirdest laugh. We talk about random things and I forget about everything. Then, I hear a whistle, we did ten laps already? We start running back to the trainer, "What's your name?"

"Ethan, what about you?"

"Ava, well I'll see you around Ethan!"

He was the only sane person in this household. Although he did seem a bit dumb. I'm fine with that though, he reminds me of me.

We wave to each other and the trainer and I look at each other. "Follow me to get your ice cream, anything to keep you up for this next round."
