Chapter 5: Training with Andrew

“Okay. Andrew if you seriously want to learn, you have to listen and watch me carefully. If you mess up I will make you redo it until you get it right, like Ethan said he would do with me, but so far I have not failed a challenge yet.” I basically yell this at him.

“Wow! Feisty, you don’t need to yell at me. You should use that anger on Ethan when we take him on.”

“Great idea then I can show him how much he was wrong.”
He looks at me curiously “Wrong about what?”

“Oh, nothing just something between Ethan and I.” I look away, but shook off the feeling and looked back at Andrew. “So do you want me to start with basics or go right in on a low level?”

He looks at me like he is not fully understanding me so I walk you to him and put my hand on his shoulder.

“Okay, I can see you are confused so let me demonstrate.”

I walked over to the mat on the floor and tried showing him a few moves and how to do them. He was looking at me strangely so I stopped and cocked my head at him then said

“These are the moves, but I can go one-one with you on a easy level then gradually bring you.”I smile proud to believe I can do this.

“You know what would be more fun?” I nod for him to continue with a questioning look. “Okay my idea is that you start me on a medium level because I starting taking karate two years ago and I am a little too skilled to start on a beginner level.”

I paused for a second because I wasn't sure it was a good idea, but just thought ‘Maybe I can show off my work to Ethan and he will be surprised and teach me new stuff each time because practicing with him is fun when we do it over and over again until he is satisfied.’

“Okay you're one hot shot!” I got in to my training formation then he got to his then he said in a low voice “Go!”
I was ready to plow him to the ground if needed to be to win the fight but he was doing better than I expected. I pulled a ‘slide blitz’ on Andrew and he slumped to the floor with a groan.

“You okay?” I asked when I walked up to him, but instead of letting me help h up he tried to pull me down to his level. Good thing I noticed because I instantly put my foot on his hand instead of taking it.

“Ow! Again? Really, that hurt more when I hit the floor.” then he looked at me with a crazy look in his eyes. It caught me off guard so I move my foot.

“Rylie, how can you be good at fighting and not gain muscles or weight? Let me tell you that when you stepped on my hand it hurt a little, but it did not hurt as much at I thought it would. It felt like you only weigh like twenty pounds maybe.”

I started blushing then sat down beside him and explained “ Umm… Andrew I actually weigh seventy three pounds and about ten percent is muscle.” his eyes blew up again with the crazy eyes.

“You're kidding me right?” I shook my head no and he looked lost for words.
At that moment Ethan came down the stairs. “Andrew she's telling you the truth. We have tried everything for her, but she has always been like this since birth. It is totally not normal. I have tried researching it, but there is nothing on the Internet other them maybe it suggests that she has never eaten or worked out in her life which is totally not true.” he says as I see him glaring at Andrew with disgust, hopefully Andrew didn't notice.

Ethan went to leave, but stopped at the stairs “Come up stairs in five minutes, both of you, okay.” he said in a calm tone then disappeared up the stairs again.

"Okay, so Andrew one more round then we go see what Ethan wants?” I asked with an outstretched hand.

“Sure.” he said then took my hand and let me pull him up. “So what formation or is it random because I am okay with that?”

“I think it should be random because you never know what your enemy might throw at you.” I heard him whisper “True.” then I got ready and advanced on him with another one of my signature best moves this one Ethan Calle the ‘Angel of Death’. He was lunging at me then I stopped my charging at him then when he was only a few feet away I jumped then I was on his head. When he fell from me strangling him playfully so he didn't  pass out again by my last attempt to try that move while cornered.

“I think we should go see what Ethan wants, now. I think he will be mad I'd we don't.” he nodded and I grabbed his hand and led him up stairs into living room because that's where I heard noise. We walked in and Ethan’s head shot up and gave me a dirty look seeing us holding hands.

“Rylie, I got your favorite!” he said looking up to my face smiling now.

I smelled pizza and I knew he did it because I had special company over. Ethan knew it was my favorite food
