Chapter 4
The moment I walked into A-5, I felt nerves shoot threw me. I shivered, goosebumps appearing on my arms, my palms are sweaty, I'm about to fight the captain of the Martial Arts club, I hope I can defeat him.
William immediately saw me, "Hey Adam, ready to fight me?"
I stared at William, "Uhhh. Not really? No? Yes? Kinda." I started to sweat.
William told me, "Well, you better get ready, it's going to hurt a lot. I'll give you a few minutes."
I start pouring sweat, hurt? Is it going to hurt?
Wait a minute, I have very high pain tolerance, so why am I so nervous? Brain fart.
I walked over to William, "Hey, William? When is our fight going to start? I'm ready."
Grinning, William replied, "Finally, I thought we were going to have to be here all day. Hey Joe, get over here! Count us down!"
Joe walked over, and I recognized him as one of the guys I fought at lunch.
I said, "Hi Joe, I fought you at lunch right?"
Joe nodded, "Hey Adam, you guys know the rules. 1-2-3 fight!"
William lunged at me, I ducked and punched him on the ribs. The fight went on for a few seconds before we pulled back from each other, our breaths were a little labored.
Smiling, Wiliam said, "Not bad." He lunged forward, I ducked, but he hit still was able to hit me on the side.
Ow, that's going to bruise.
We continued to fight, then, slowly, but steadily I gained more control over the fight, I noticed he protected his right slightly more than his left.
So I directed my hits to the left, quick, but strong hits. I moved closer and closer, my hits were more and more confident, with a last hit to the left, William lost his footing and landed on his butt.
I blinked, stunned, "I just won, right?"
William got up, grunting, and clapped me on the back, "You won, Adam. You are now the new Captain of The Martial Arts Club! Now let's get some water and sit down. Haven't fought like that in a while."
I smiled, I won, I did it, I am the captain of the Martial Arts Club.
Mark walked up to me, "Good job, man." While giving me a high-five.
I smiled, "Yeah, thanks, Mark." High-fiving him back.
Then I thought of something, "Wait? What does the Captain of the Martial Arts club even do?"
I went over to William, "Hey, William, I have a question."
William turned around, "Huh? Oh, Adam. What is it?"
I asked him, "What does the Captain of the Martial Arts club do?"
William told me, "Well, the Captain usually schedules the tournaments, challenges, represents the club, stuff like that."
I raised my eyebrows, "That's it? Really?"
William shrugged, "Yeah, if you need any help, just ask me."
I smiled, "Okay, thanks."
I walked out of A-5 to see Mark waiting for me, "Hey Mark, you didn't need to wait for me."
Mark shrugged.
We walked to the school gate.
I took out my phone, "Bye, Mark, I need to call someone to pick me up."
Mark nodded, "Bye, man."
I dialed Adam's phone number.
Adam picked up two rings later, "Hey, Avery, you need a ride, right?"
I nodded, then remembering he couldn't see me, "Uhh, yeah, I need a ride. Can Thomas pick me up?"
Adam said, "Yeah, he's on his way. He'll be there in 5 minutes. Tell me about your day when you get home. Bye."
I looked at the phone, Adam had hung up.
5 minutes later, Thomas had arrived.
I got into the car.
Thomas smiled at me, "How was your day, Miss?"
I smiled back, "It was great, I am the Captain of the Martial Arts club now."
Thomas's smile widened, "We knew you could do it."
I smiled, "Thank you, for believing in me."
The rest of the ride was quite.
When we got to my new home, it was a nice apartment with 3 rooms.
Adam came out of the first room, smiling, "So, Avery how was your day?"
I smiled, "I have a feeling you already know."
Adam smiled wider, "Yeah, you're the Captain of the Martial Arts Club, yippee."
Still smiling I said, "I need a shower and I have homework to do, see you a dinner," I walked away, then I came back, "Hey, Adam, where is my room?"
Adam told me, "The one right next to mine. Oh, and the bathroom is next to the kitchen."
I nodded, "Thanks."
A few hours later.
Dinner was amazing, it tasted delicious like every flavor was bursting inside my mouth.
I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and get ready for bed, tomorrow I will be starting the day as Captain of The Martial Arts Club.
