“Okay so do fifty punches.” She was kind of flushed. I wonder why? Maybe it’s too hot in here. “Do you want to me to turn on the fans or something?” She jumped like a foot in the air.

“Umm…no! I’m good. I think that guy is waiting for you.” I went to go help him like she told me too. When I came back, she was punching the bag with such furry I thought that it would come alive for revenge or something.

“Whoa there tiger! Where’s the fire?” I laughed. She just glared. “Okay then, how bout we just work on your pattern?” she solemnly nodded. God, talk about bipolar. “So start out with your left foot in front and do a low block.” I showed her the technique and she imitated it.

“No Ashley. Your stance needs to be longer.” I patted her thigh just above her knee to indicate which leg she needed to move. She moved it a little bit, but not enough so I walked around to her front/left side and used my foot to slide her leg out a bit. I looked up into her eyes and saw they were darker than usual.

Oh, God. I know why. Damn it. This is getting out of hand. I need to get out of here. I looked at the clock. Yes class is over!

“Everyone line up!” Ashley looked startled, but I walked away to the front of the class with her trailing a few steps behind me. After we bowed out, I talked to a few of the students for a few minutes just to chat like always. When I was done, I looked around and didn’t see Ashley. Hmm, she must have left. My heart sunk. I got my street clothes and walked into the bathroom. The changing area isn’t shut off or anything it’s just one big room with a little bathroom stall and sink in the corner.

When I opened the door, I think my jaw hit the floor and my heart began to race. There was Ashley. With only a bra and thong on. Bending over to start to put her jeans on. She didn’t notice me so I just stood there staring, not thinking at all. She lifted her head slowly, I guess she felt eyes on her. When she saw me her eyes widened and she fell over onto the cold linoleum floor. She quickly stood up and turned around, which buy the way her in a thong didn’t really stop my staring. I was shook out of my daze. My hand shot up to cover my eyes.

“I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to… I thought… I… You… Sorry!”

I guess she finally became “calm-cool-collected-Ashley” again. “No it’s okay. This IS a changing room and we’re all girls right?”

“R-Right.” I gripped my clothes tighter and ran into the stall. No way was she going to see me almost naked! I heard the door open and close and Ashley left the bathroom. I let out a long shaky breath. I quickly put on my street clothes on.

I walked out of the bathroom and looked at the dojo floor. Ehh… I’ll mop it tomorrow. He’ll never know. Everyone – including Ashley – had left by the looks of it. So I set the alarm, put my clothes in my camouflage backpack, grabbed my skateboard and walked out the door. I locked it behind me and shoved the keys in the pocket of my board shorts.

When I looked up, Ashley was standing there staring at me leaning against the wall. I stumbled backwards and fell onto the trashcan and then landed on my ass on hard concrete. Great… way to go dork…
