The AR Gamer Girl «Original story»

Chapter Ninteen

Yesterday evening after the incident I immediately told the company. They didn't see it as a big problem, because I had only told him I got the augma from the tester. I quickly ate the rest of my breakfast and went off to work. After that, I went to school as usual. While putting my shoes away, Will walked up to me. "Hey." "H-hey Will ..." I still wasn't whether sure to trust him or not. He came close to my ear. "I haven't told anyone, but keep me updated.", he whispered. I thought he wanted to say more, but then Zane walked in. He took my arm and pulled me to his side. "What do you want Will?" He gave a small chuckle. "Bye Zane and bye little fighter." "Call me Lyra!" I quickly said. He waved us off and went on. "Did Will do anything?" Zane questioned a little annoyed. "No, but I need to do something, see you later Zane-kun!" While I tried to go, he grabbed my arm. "Let me help." I was surprised. "Oh okay." I smiled.

Zane helped me to put up the posters around school, while I also dropped off the tea set. Then, we went to the classroom, barely making it. First we had English, which was really easy for me, as it was my mother tongue and the others had only know it for a few years. After that we had math. For some reason the teacher left me alone and I just worked on my own, being a few lessons ahead of the class. Now we had PE. Nina and I walked to the girls' locker room. We all got dressed in the gym clothes. They were dark blue T-shirts and some white short shorts. We went inside the gym and the boys had the same outfit on, just with longer and wider shorts. "Hey blondy." I rolled my eyes. "Hey idiot." "H-h-hey Z-Zane-kun ..." I smiled at Nina. She was half-hiding behind me, but she was trying really hard. Zane ruffled her hair and that seemed to calm her down. "Round up everyone!" The teacher called, so we listened. "Today we'll be track-racing and some tests, but since the principle told us we're too divided, everyone is going in groups of two with one boy and one girl. I don't care who is with who, just do it quickly." The class started to form duos left and right. Zane turned to me. "Hey wanna--." "Nope!" Suddenly an arm pulled me away. "I'm with her. You go with the other one.", Will smirked. "Will." Zane seemed a bit pissed. "Okay! Everyone go outside!" The teacher suddenly yelled. I just sighed, freeing myself from Will, going outside. I saw Zane fuming a bit, but just ignored it.

"Okay everyone. We start with normal running. Run 20 laps and--." The class whined. It was a full track-race and that could take an hour for some. It didn't really do much for me, since I did more than that every day. "So," the teacher continued, "you run 20 laps and then come to the obstacle track. We have cameras set up for that, so I won't be supervising it. After that, you can take a break, until everyone is done." I looked at Will. He seemed pretty confident about himself. "Can you run all the way?" I raised an eyebrow. "Really? I just hope you can keep up with me." He chuckled. "Okay. First one to finish can make the other one a request." I rolled my eyes. "You're on." We went to the starting point, until the teacher stopped us. "Wait! Take this cloth and bind it around your wrist and that of the other person. It reaches one meter, so you run together, but still have more than enough space." We took it and bound it to our wrists. I waved to Zane and Nina very quickly, right before we started. "Okay! On your marks, set, GO!" I ran fast, but not my fastest, until I felt something pull. In a second Will matched my pace. "You always run this fast? You'll be tired in a minute." I chuckled. "I'm good, tell me if you're tired." I smiled and we just ran on.

We bypassed everyone, including Zane and Nina. I knew she wasn't good with long-distance, so I understood. The last round was coming up and most people were at the halfway mark. I smirked and started to ran faster. I was still breathing normally, not like Will. He was sweating like crazy. He could barely hold my pace, making me pass first. "I'm first!" I cheered happily. "Lyra, Will. You can put the cloth back and do the obstacle race now." "Okay." I answered and undid the knot. "H-how ... Did you do that?!" I chuckled. "I told you, but I work out every day more than this. And the obstacle race is so much fun! I'm going first, bye!" I ran off, before Will and saw the track. It was build on a track-race and pretty well-made. I smirked. This is going to be fun ... I was used to doing this, through the augma and started. Jumped over things, slid, rolled, everything! I ended in a minute and could finally take a deep breath. I walked back to the beginning and went over to the teacher. He was controlling the number of rounds you did and wrote them down. "Excuse me, I am done, can I just train?" He looked surprised, but nodded either way. I went back inside and set up my own obstacle course that looped around. It had bars, things to swing on, jump over, slide under and just some obstacles. I started on a two-meter obstacle, which I also had to jump back on to at the end. I jumped and started the track.
