Minx grabs me by the arm, picking me up and swinging me over her, my back slams on the mat. I sigh and pat the mat below me before she attacks me anymore. "How long did I last this time?" I place my hands on my chest, controlling my breathing as I look up at the ceiling. Techno's face appears, blocking the ceiling from my view.
He smiles and holds up his phone. "Four minutes and thirty seven seconds" He extends his hand towards me, I grab it and he pulls me up to my feet. "You're getting better"
"Yeah.. it was a bit of a struggle because that kick in the gut I got last week.." I take in a breath, stumbling slightly as I try to keep my balance. "You know George.. does he like buff guys?" I lift my head.
"Eh, why does it matter? If he doesn't like what you look like, he isn't worth it" Techno pats my shoulder. "The kids tournament is tomorrow, you comin'?" He asks me.
"Tournament? Why is this the first time I'm hearing about this?" I look at him confused, glancing at Minx as she walks away from us, staring back at him a second after.
He rolls his eyes. "Every October fifteenth there's a state competition, there's eight teams, then four teams, then two teams. What happens is two people fight, it's kinda like wrestling, we choose our best fighters and they can tap out anytime and switch out-- Whoever wins get this awesome looking trophy" he explains to me.
"How do you know so much about this? I thought you were forced to be here because you threw that freshman into a locker" I walk over to my water bottle, he follows me.
"Okay-- Tommy deserved it.. and, yeah. I did my research because I got interested" He shrugs. "So, are you comin' along or not?"
"Oh!" I grab my water bottle and drink from it as I think. I swear I had something planned tomorrow.. but why I can't remember? I screw the cap back onto my water bottle. "Yeah! Sure, how long is it?" I nod, turning my head to him.
