The Powerful Girl

Chapter #17 Alone time

"Veronica's Pov*

After everything that has happened between all of the villains and the boys I needed to do some stress reliving, and not by the magical way. I asked Jake if he can get access to either the Cardio room or the Exercise room of the school.

Luckily he agreed to the option, but had no idea how to get in. He didn't have the power to gain access with how much magic he had left. During PE my teacher brought us to the Exercise room to do activity for our tumbling unit since there's a white matt for the floor of the whole room. For the whole time I paid close attention to what key's she used and where to make them land after I got a chance to knocked them out with my ice powers to move the cold feeling metal keys off. When my teacher was working on her laptop I did find a small corner from the mats we use for push-ups, and could make no noise for my teacher to know that their keys were going to be taken.

After finding a good spot the teacher, another PE teacher from another class, had to ask a question in the hallway. As my teacher got up from her seat I quickly used my power to freeze the key ring and break a whole in it, so the keys would fall quietly on the mats.

All I had to do now was wait for the class to end and be the last one out so no one could see me grab the keys. While waiting for the class our teacher was actually looking for her keys, and didn't think to ask the girls, since none of them could possibly be able to do such a thing. When the bell rang everyone rushed to their classes I stayed back and casually walked with a tiny smirk of pride since I was able to fool that stupid teacher which I personally hated actually.

Before the school day was over I was able to convince the boys that I had to go home after school so I could stay alone. They actually had stuff to do after school. They had extra tutor classes right after school, so that was a big plus.

When it was clear I also had to correct keys to unlock the actual entrance to the hallway where the two rooms are along with the girls and boys changing rooms. After taking a glance of what the exercise room had to offer with all of the mats and other yoga stuff, the cardio room did seem like a better option to train. It had all kinds of cardio equipment to hopefully gain more muscle.

I tried several keys until finding one that eventually worked and helped me see what the cardio room had in store. There were multiple sizes of weights, benches to use them on, an actual punching bag and pull up bar, and a full on rock climbing wall. Ok that didn't really interest me since I will probably fall off on the first rock.

The only thing that was interesting was the equipment on the floor. I got to test what was comfortable for me with how much muscle I currently have.

*Third person Pov*

While Veronica was starting to workout she hadn't had noticed the three boys lingering around the back window that sat next to the door to the outside where the big sand track and bike racks were. Vince and Adrian were trying not to sound impressed with how many weights Veronica can lift or how many pull ups she can do.

"She really had to lie? Again?" He whispered.

"Can you blame her? After everything we did?" Adrian defends.

Andy groans. "We were just trying to help!"

"And look where that lead us." Vince comments. Sadly it seemed like the look out had to wait when Andy's phone dinged for him to get home.

"Damn it. I have to go." He sighs, annoyed. The boys moved out of the window frame incase Veronica catches them. "Will you guys be free this weekend?"

The boys exchange confused and suspicious looks to each other and back at Andy, with Vince asking, "Why?"

"To see what else she is hiding."

After everything he and the other guys did to help her, she goes and does this. His phone dings with a message from his mom saying that she is here. Andy takes one last glance at Veronica now with a happy smile after lifting up a weight that looked like a 30 or 40 pounder which surprised Andy. He rushed back to his house so he could tell the guys. Sadly for him it was the weekend so they couldn't ask Veronica herself why the heck she was lying to them.

They were somehow able to cut time in their busy schedules to get on a call and talk. With a lot of arguing, debating, and compromise they agreed to stay at school to see if Veronica would go into the cardio room again. She however did manage to find time in her not so busy schedule to sneak into the cardio room again. As usual she had to wait until no one was there. However for the boys it was not as hard or easy to hide from her.

When at the entrance to the hallway the boys watched as Veronica took out the teachers keys to unlock the door. "How the hell did she get those?" Vince asks, angrily and surprised.

"She is a 'Ultimate'." Adrian answers.

"That doesn't mean she is that powerful to take the teachers keys." Vince argues.

"Do you really want her to test her power on you?" Andy threatens as Veronica walks in freely leaving the boys to follow her. They hid behind a corner from the exercise room a lot of feet away from the cardio room where she was getting ready to do some exercises.

"Why would she need the cardio room?" Adrian asks.

"Probably to work on some moves." Andy guesses.

"Or to probably lose all that fat." Vince not so quiet whisper made an echo in the hallway forcing the boys to hide their full bodies behind the corner for Veronica not to see them. It worked with the sound of her opening the room and closing the door behind her leaving the noise of the echo from the door closing as a signal for the boys to come back out.

"We should probably go outside." Andy suggests.

The boys follow him to where he first spotted Veronica through the back window. They find her already trying out the pull up bar and successfully pull herself up. "Damn! She is strong." Adrian gasps in amazement, but as quiet as he can.

"How is she carrying all her weight?" Vince asks.

Andy chuckles, surprised that he always forgets about one major fact about her. "She has powers. Of course she can pull that much weight." He reminds him.

"Then why would she feel the need to workout?" Vince asks, now confused.

"To become more powerful I guess." Andy guesses as they continue to watch her.

Veronica lets go of the pull up bar and lands on her feet with a few exhausted breaths. After she took off her gloves to the pull up bar her head turned to the weights making the boys hide back from the window.

"We should go before she or someone actually sees us!" Vince suggests, angrily and annoyed that they keep on getting close calls and stalking Veronica.

Andy sighs, in defeat. "Fine."
