"What's not to like about Judo? It's excellent for fitness, balance, and coordination."

Rhydian and Aden stood next to each other in the gym as they watched Tom get flipped to the floor by Jimi again. She'd lost track of how many times he'd been thrown to the ground, but she was starting to wonder when the teacher was going to rescue him from another round.

As Miss Graham continued on about the wonders of Judo, Aden watched as Tom got back onto his feet, setting up for another go at Jimi.

She grimaced beside Rhydian, "How did Tom get picked to be Jimi's human punching bag?"

Rhydian looked at Tom not amused at all and shook his head. She wasn't sure how many more times she could watch Jimi throw him on the ground.

"Judo club is every Wednesday after school." Miss Graham told them.

Jimi threw Tom onto the mat once again, and he hit pretty hard, making the class break out in "ooo"'s and laughter.

"Miss?" Aden looked up at her, "Don't you think we've had enough demonstration?"

Tom looked up at Aden gratefully as he got back onto his feet again, seemingly thankful that she had spoke up.

"Right," Miss Graham nodded, "Everyone get into groups of four, start practicing passing and tackling."

Aden looked over at Rhydian, but saw him turning his head as if something caught his eye, and when she looked in the direction he was, she saw Jana peaking her head out from behind the door. She gave a nod to Rhydian, telling him to come over there.

"What does she want?" Aden eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"Not sure," Rhydian shook his head, "I'll be right back."

She watched wearily as he walked across the gym and left out the door after Jana. Maddy also saw him leaving, and she looked at Aden in confusion. Aden shrugged, just as clueless as she was. She felt like something was definitely off...but if there was something wrong, wouldn't Jana tell all of them instead of just Rhydian?
