Fifty Pushups Miss ☑️

Ch39 Fresh Start

I walked towards my room with a smile on my lips. But a turn to my path made me frown.
It lead to the gym.
Nick.

I couldn't help but take that path, to see him.
I wanted to know how he's doing.
I reached the door and peeped in. Nobody could see me, since I was standing in the dark.

They were there, in the same room.
My hot topless buddy following Uncle's instructions.
He looked fine.
It was past midnight. His cramps are soon going to hurt real bad.

I took a deep breath and left.

"Just b...."
Dip

"..... Breathe...!"
Dip

It's amazing. The water feels so good.
I feel so happy.
Hey, that is a familiar voice, but I can't see him. I have to cover the distance, I'll not look up.

Face out, eyes closed, deep breath in.
Face in water again, eyes open.
It's all blue, with yellow rays of sunlight touching the base. It's heaven.

There comes the wall. I'm almost there.
Yeah!
I touch the wall and stop.
I'm standing on the floor of the pool now. My goggles and cap are gone, I don't know how.
All I hear is cheering.

The only name I can see on that board is Jane Stuart, blinking in red. I won.
Yes!
Hell yes!

Oh this is the best time of my life.
This water is my life! It helped me in winning.

Tick Tick
.
What? What is that siren?
Is there fire?

Oh it's getting louder!
Run!

.
*Deep breath*
I open my eyes and turn my head towards my alarm clock.
I turn it off in reflex and look at my hands and feet.
They are dry.
Oh god. I was in a dream.

I laughed loudly and happily, at my victory.
It feels good.

I got up and got ready.
That dream made me feel so fresh.
Jogging towards the ground, I see a man coming from opposite end.
It's the same guy I saw at the bars that day.
Yes it's him!

He didn't stop till he was hanging on the bars, again doing one arm pull ups.
I knew I have enough time to go and check who he is. I started to walk towards him, but stopped as soon as I saw another figure coming from the same direction, running.

It.. Is.. Ren?!
Yes!
But she was supposed to go for jogging with uncle. Is that guy Col. James?
Oh my god.

My eyes followed her, till she stopped next to the bars. She was definitely panting, looking at her body posture.

Uncle did a few pull ups while she stood at a distance.
Then he jumped off.
Next I saw, Ren is climbing up the bars, and doing pull ups. I remember how difficult it was to do a single count of that sh*t.
And man! She was shooting.

I counted till 8 when she slipped and fell.
Then climbed again and did two more with all the strength left, and jumped off, landing directly on ground, flat.

How did she build up this much stamina?
And how does she stay fit? I've rarely seen her in any of the grounds, or around gym.
I have to ask her.

"Stretching time over."
Came the voice I hate.
Damn! Again!
But don't screw up this time, Jane.

"Yes sir."
I just accepted my crampy future and took off.
His stopwatch was ready in his hand.

And the day started.
