Learning to punch

Chapter ~ 6

"Did you just assume my gender?" Eva asked looking slightly offended, her hand on her hip, perfectly shaped eyebrows raised. My sister who was riding shot gun burst into fits of laughter, I rolled my eyes a smirk rising on my lips. "Yes I did. Now get in woman" I said jokingly.

It was only a few blocks till school but I figured since I have the space in my Dads SUV I'd be a nice person and give them a ride. "I'm with my twin brother" she said glancing behind her, "more the merrier" my sister answered before I could. Grinning Eva opened the back door calling for her brother - called Sam - to hurry up.

A few seconds later a boy with similar facial features apart, curly blonde hair, bright green eyes got in beside his sister. "Hey I'm Sam" he said closing the door, I grinned introducing me and my sister. "I'm Eva by the way" Eva said leaning forward between the gap between the front seats.

Autumn grinned turning her body to talk to Eva, a few minutes of school traffic later I found a parking spot. Sam walked by my side as the two girls gossiped behind us. I already knew that they moved here from Washington since their father got a new job here. Sam explained that he drove with his father in the truck while the girls (Eva and his mother) flew over last weekend.

"You work out man?" Sam asked as I reached my locker, we had already gotten him set up, I glanced to my side nodding. "Yeah a little, why?" I answered, a little being almost everyday, since I work there most days I might as well work out while I'm there.

"I'm look'n for a good gym, most I've seen yesterday are either far away or to small" he said, I chuckle nodding in agreement, "you looked at JC's Gym?" I asked closing my locker, as we walked to our first class which we shared, Autumn had shown eva to her first class.

"Na man, not yet you need membership to enter from what I read on the internet" he said, which was true, you couldn't enter unless you had a keycard or knew your passcode, all registration was online or on open weekends which were held the second weekend every two months.

"I'll take you after school if your not busy, I'm a member" I said grinning at him, he glanced at me with a raised eyebrow, "won't you get fined or something?" Sam asked with furrowed eyebrows. "Yep usually, but I know the boss so it's fine" I said as we entered the class sitting at the back. "You know Jaxon Coles?" He looked at me with disbelieving eyes. I grinned at him.

"Xavier Coles, Son of Gabriel and Jaxon Coles at your service"

I dropped Eva and Sam at home, so he could change and go up in his own car, that way he didn't have to wait till around 9pm when I usually go home. I usually do most of my homework before my shift starts and I have only two classes on Wednesday. Friday and most weekends I was completely free.

Driving home I raced in grabbing my gym bag with my uniform inside it before heading back out, since I had to show Sam around before my classes started. Which was at 3:50 since it was my youngsters, they have shorter lessons.

Turning into the parking bays that were reserved for staff, I got out, Sam was already making his way over, recognising my car.
I smiled slinging my gym bag over my shoulder. I'll be damed he is one attractive looking boy.

"Let's go" I said leading him to the side of the building, a door with 'staff entrance' plastered on it in bold letters. Opening the door with the 7 digit code that I've memorised by heart. The door led to the office where my father was working. The muffled music coming from the gym room next door.

"Hey papa" I greeted pressing a kiss to his cheek, turning to a star stuck Sam. "This is my new friend Sam Marshal. He is thinking of joining the gym" I introduced setting my bag down, my father turned in his seat, holding his hand out "nice to meet you Sam" he said chuckling at the gaping face of my friend.
