Kali Cross
Gymnasium
Kali focused on the target in front of her. Breathe in, breathe out. Relax. Sweat ran down her back, her tanktop clung to her body. Then, in a flash, Kali's right leg lashed out at the punching bag in front of her. The bag reeled to the left before swinging back at her. Double punch, pause for the bag to come back. Left front kick, pause. Crescent kick, pause. Then in a final effort, Kali round kicked the bag sending it flying nearly to the ceiling. Panting, Kali dropped her form and then caught the bag as it came flying towards her. Kali grabbed a water bottle and sat down on a nearby bench.
She took a long drink from the water bottle and stared at the punching bag. A sigh escaped her lips. Punching bags were too predictable, you knew when they would reach you. Such a disappointment. Kali preferred to spar with others. It gave her an adrenaline rush like no other. The fast pace, the perceiving of your opponent's moves, the blows you land, and even the blows your opponent lands all made it thrilling. Unfortunately, Kali didn't know of anyone who shared her hobby. Therefore she could only practice techniques and mental exercises. Kali wiped the sweat that was rolling down her forehead.
Buzz, buzz. Kali jumped a little when her phone vibrated. Quickly, she wiped her hands on a towel and picked up her phone. Once she had unlocked it a notification popped up.
You have an unread message from DeanKali pursed her lips. Dean was her match. He was a cool guy, but had trouble staying committed. So after a rude awakening to that, they both decided that it was best to have a more open relationship. Dean was a great friend, in fact he was one of Kali's best friends. They went to parties and hung out quite a bit. Every once in awhile they'd do something romantic, go on a date or something similar. She was fine with Dean flirting, hitting on, or even going on dates with other people. Or at least she tried to. It was a bit difficult for her to let him do what he wanted, but it was for the best, so she decided that she would endure.
Kali clicked on the notification, which lead her to his new message.
