Point of View: Kyle

Staring without care, I watch as the slender girl moves with ease as she finishes a mile run in about six minutes even. Smiling, she stops the treadmill only a slight layer of sweat on her brow. Push ups, sit ups, pull ups, and a mile. She didn't even look phased. Looking to a stunned Zach, Izzy catches her breath waiting for the next task and a moment later she is headed toward the punching bag she had been at earlier.

"What do you think?" Ari smirks walking on the next treadmill over. Swallowing a smile slowly appears on Zach's lips. Interesting.

"Wow." He states simply grabbing a lysol wipe to clean off the treadmill. He goes silent for a moment and just shakes his head amazed. "The amount of questions... I don't even know where to begin." Zach covers his mouth his mismatched eyes swirling with curiosity and Ari laughs.

"What's so funny?" Max asks stepping over a water bottle in hand.

"Izzy stunned Zach into silence." Ari states stopping the treadmill. Max smirks at this and both Zach and I look between the two.

"Does she normally work out?" Zach asks stunned and Max shrugs moving to the weights as Ari steps down.

"She said she keeps fit by doing her job." Ari shrugs wiping his face with a towel. " I don't think she ever explicitly stated what she does though." Ari pauses and smirks. "Well besides run that is. When she is in town she usually runs with Aaron in the mornings and evenings."

Zach blinks collecting this information and I turn to look to the mysterious girl only to freeze. Finding the black haired girl, she stands behind the punching bag holding it still as someone swings at it hard. She keeps her small figure tense while keeping the bag still, her knees bent taking the force of the punches. "Zach." I call out not believing my eyes as I quickly round the desk only to stop.

There, in a black tank top and basketball shorts is the white and black haired male. Doing my best not to let my jaw drop to the floor, I watch as he swings hard and fast at the bag. "Holly Shit." Zach whispers besides me but I can't pull my eyes away from the scene in front of me.

Ever since Rafa had opened up this gym, we had been trying to get Mikael to come and work out with the boys. Even run drills with a soccer ball. Nothing. He would only sit and watch his brothers. I had tried to convince him several times, that it would be a great way to keep fit, to release his rage if he didn't want to talk things out, but every time he would just stay silent and sit on the bench. There were a couple of times that Zach thought he had convinced Mikael only for the male to book it from the gym.

But there he was, in gym clothes, punching the bag hard from both the left and right working up a sweat. He doesn't miss a beat moving fast and Izzy holds strong allowing Mikael to get a good set of punches going. Panting, Mikael finally pauses to catch his breath and wipe his brow allowing Izzy to step out from behind the male her green eyes light and at ease. He had worked out with her before. Watching as she demonstrates how to get a more accurate but just as powerful punch to Mikael, I just about fall over as he practices it a couple of times listening to what she said. Izzy even points out a number of smaller corrections before she nods approvingly to Mikael.

Turning she spots Zach and I only to freeze. I watch as she goes from at ease and happy to emotionless. As though she had shut herself off. Mikael is quick to spot this change and turns to find Zach and I as well. "Nice punches." I state simply and Mikael studies me for a moment before nodding. Pulling off the tape around his hands, Izzy throws him a towel a small simple smile on her lips. Fake.

Before we can say more though, Rafa whistles from the top level signaling it was time to shower and get ready for school. Watching as the boys rush off to the showers, Izzy watches for a moment before moving to join us at the front desk. "You are a fucking unicorn." Stunned, I shoot a look to Zach who stares wide eyed at Izzy as though she actually is a mythical creature.

Stunned, I look back to Izzy whose fake smile is no longer and a large pure white smile has slipped onto her lips. "A fucking unicorn." She huffs laughing. "I don't think I have ever been called that before." Zach instantly straightens his face turning a bright red as Izzy tries to contain herself.

"I-I-" Zach tries to recover and Izzy uncovers her smile.

"Its fucking perfect." Stunned I blink and Zach looks shocked before relaxing a little. She thought being called a fucking unicorn was perfect. Who the hell was this girl?

"Ummm... miss?" Ray cuts through my thoughts and Izzy's laughter drawing us back to reality. "I know you are with the boys... but would you mind filling out this paper work?" He pauses hesitating as Izzy straightens a little. "It is a liability form so that way just incase something happens to you in the building the gym will be covered."

There is a moment of silence before Izzy shrugs and nods moving to the desk. "Do I need to sign one for Aaron?" She questions taking the pen from the male and filling in the information.

"N-No Ma'am." He blushes shaking his head as she looks down to the black schnauzer who just stares casually at her back.

Putting down the pen, Izzy is quickly greeted by the better smelling males but my eyes linger on the paper that sits on the counter. We were about to find out who this girl really is.
