Stepping Up

18.

Enjoy!

Andrea's POV.

Saturday came by so fast as I spent the week doing endless homework from annoying teachers even a Latin teacher!

I couldn't even sleep well as Emily's call kept banging in my ear. She came to my house quite early, seven hell o'clock!

I got to the shower really quick to avoid letting her down by not going. She prepared my sports outfit, a sweat pant, sports bra and my double decker sneakers.

"Really? Sports bra, how do you think. . ." I hold the outfit in my hand. Sometimes, my friend can be a teeny tiny crazy.

"Relax, you've been on fire lately. You are going to wear a black jacket on top of it okay?"

"Okay?" I bite my lip, looking unsure.

We packed our breakfast to go and I insisted on driving us there which she calmly agreed. Getting there at nine was the quite the earliest time I have ever been to a place. Em and I get down from the car and enter the gym.

"You can do this." She gives an encouraging smile.

"O-okay." I smile back, not knowing what's in store for me.

"You made it on time, great start." He smiles at us, probably me. I say goodbye to Em.

"Good morning! Why, Thank you." I smile shyly.

"Okay, let's get to work. How much do you weigh?" He asked me.

"Uh...80pounds?" I say unsure. The last time I checked was when my former gym instructor was coaching me and I was okay. Or maybe the scale was broken.

"80 huh?" He raises his eyebrow in suspicion. Like he thinks I'm lying.

I guess I am.

I don't know.

I shrug, "I'm just saying, I have no idea."

"Okay then, stand on the scale over there and let's see what you have."

I go to the weighing scale and I stand on it and my face drops at what I see.

He folds his arms, "What does it say?"

"2..260pounds sir." I say,looking down at my shoes.

"Hey. Don't get embarrassed or sad about it. There's room for change and that's why you're here, okay?"

"Yeah." I smile a bit.

"Now you're going to walk on the treadmill for thirty minutes then we'll know what's next."

I continued doing that for the next ten minutes and give up... completely!

André came over to see how far I have gone, he was a little bit disappointed. This is my second time doing it in a long time, what does he expect?

I sprang up on my feet and continued walking on the treadmill while watching a video clip or so on the TV.

Time had passed and we went on to the next activity, carrying a humongous ball and swinging my hands!

"This is the easiest task of them all so you should do this with no pain attached." He said as he hands me the ball and smiles.

"You think?" I roll my eyes worriedly.

"I do. Now get to work!"

We finished that and all other activities then Em came to pick me up and we went home.

"How was the training? I trust André did a fab job." Emily picks a juice box from the fridge.

"It. Was. The. Worst! He made me do stuff that I never in my life planned for. The worst part was that he said they are all easy tasks so that got me furious. In all it was not that bad." I say, trying to make her feel good.

"Good!" She laughs.
"Your dad has already agreed for the vacation but we can't go now because of exams and you have training too. I've scheduled it for the Easter period so we can have some fun okay?" She says as she dances.

"Alright!"

"Heyy baby girl, how are you?!" An unknown caller says. He must be some guy.

"Hi, who's this please?" I say unsure.

"Come on, you don't remember me?"

Can you please stop asking questions?!

"No, you must be?" I look at my phone. The caller ID shows unknown, the person must've hidden their identity.

"It's me Luke, Luca from school." He chuckles.

"Luca? Hi. . .How are you?Where are you?"

"I'm in Utah. I called to hear your voice and from how you sound, you're fine." I could hear him breathing on the other end. I wanted to tell him about my gym classes but I kicked against it.

"Yeah I'm fine, nothing's happening here. Ooouu, my dad got married few days ago." I beam as I tell him how it went, I also told him about my mom and what happened that very day.

"Wow! You must have had mixed emotions and all that right?"

"Not really. Technically, we had some rough edges but it was sorted out that very moment." I say to him while remembering the motivation Emily gave me.

We talked about other things and he told me he'll call me back some other time, with that I hung up.

"Who was that?" Miss nosy asked me with a sing song voice. To be clear, it's Em.

"Nobody important." I say but she didn't buy it. She grabs my phone from my hand and I run after her but she was faster.

"Luca huh. Andie's got a boyfriend, a boy friend, a boyfriend.." She starts shouting and dancing too.

"Shut up! He's not my boyfriend alright? we're just friends. Please I want to take a shower now, I have gym practice to do so get out of my room now." I shove her out and she keeps shouting,

Andie's got a boyfriend!

Unknown's POV.

I didn't know how to execute my plan correctly. The plan that is on my mind now as the police, CIA, the corps and all those military people are on my tail. I went into hiding when I found out that I am wanted.

Yeah yeah, I'm wanted.

I legitally (if there's a word like that) killed fifteen people because of this job. I just want revenge for what they have done to me. Those on my list are just three left. I've taken away their queen mother and it wouldn't be so hard to hit my target.

You see, I have never gotten the love and affection I want. They seem so distant from my life. My friends haven't been helpful in my life so I keep using them for material things and sort out my feelings myself but still...

Later today, my detective called me and gave me an exact location of the person I'm going to trade ideas with and I will be meeting her soon, when I get out of this mess.

She will accept my deal and I'll play her like I always do.

Prepare for me Parker. You'll see me at your home sooner than you expect.

No. You wouldn't even smell it.

A/n; Hey! So we've arrived at something.
Someone's following them and
who could that be?. *Strokes chin and laughs mischievously*.
