Fencing was... strange. To say the least. To say it wasn't exciting, however, would be an understatement.

Evelyn got her gear on, thinking about the previous few days. She laced her shoes taut before grabbing her helmet and her spear.

It had been two days since Patrick and Luke had the mini locker confrontation, and it seemed that things had eased down a little.

Patrick was back to being much more calm with Evelyn, and she tried to just respond to his texts politely. Evelyn avoided him in school, and he didn't make much effort to approach her in person anyways.

Evelyn stepped onto the grass, spinning her helmet on her spear. Well, attempting to. She kept dropping the helmet, groaning at her clumsiness.

Coach Tina was talking to Luke about something, something that made him clearly excited. When she saw Evelyn, Coach beckoned her as well.

Evelyn jogged over to the two, as Luke peered over at her. He glanced over his shoulder to look at the girl, his gaze boring into her eyes.

She felt herself almost trip under his eyes, his stare making her breathing pick up. She felt her heart rate rise, her blush once again on her cheeks.

"I was just talking to Luke about this, but I have an opportunity for you two," Coach explained, quickly catching the girl up.

They glanced at each other before eagerly looking back to their Coach. An opportunity in the fencing field is incredible, considering how competitive it was.

"There is a national competition being hosted in Sydney in January, and I nominated you two. For the women's and men's league, of course."

Evelyn was shocked, "Aren't those league competitions for professionals? People who really train in their field?"

This league was the true professionals, people who put years in their work.

The coach waved her off, "None are as good as you two. I have been watching and recording your fights. And when I submitted them to their organizers, they were thrilled to have you two."

Evelyn contained herself from jumping up and down. She could almost explode.

Luke spoke, trying to level his voice but it was clear he was trying to hold back his excitement.

"We have little over two months. Do you think we will be able to train to their level?"

Coach Tina laughed, "Hemmings, you're already there. You just need some fine-tuning and training."

Evelyn squealed, jumping up and down, not being able to conceal it anymore.

"With that, you two. Get out of your fencing gear and into sports gear. You need to build up stamina, so you're running laps."

Evelyn eagerly nodded, turning and practically running to the locker room. She quickly changed into an Adidas black shirt and sports shorts.

She excited, seeing Luke already there waiting for her. He was wearing a muscle shirt and shorts as well.

Evelyn glanced over the boy, who was staring at her in confusion. The girl's eyes glinted with something, beyond happiness.

She couldn't help herself, reaching over to the boy and jumping to her tippy toes, hanging her arms around his neck.
