Leena stood slowly as she watched the dust settle from when veggie boy ran out of the room. Leena muttered under her breath sumething about respect and patience, rudness and attitude, then shrugged "he'll get his someday, huh Ti? the fates are always watching and repay in time. Lets go."
Leena walked out of the room noticing out of the corner of her eye the little guy that owns the strange chest asking for extra help. No one noticed her leave. That had been the worst first day of her life and it was only half over.
Once out in the hall she saw students flocking toward the caf and decided she didn't want to be around other people. Leena ran up to her apartment quickly and grabbed her gym bag then descended once again to the school level to search for the gym. Leena needed to releave some tension and a few gymnastic routines would do just that.
after wandering for about 5 minutes Leena found the gym and the gymnastics area set up with some of the best equipment she'd ever used. This was going to be fun.
Leena emerged from the locker room in a blue and white gymnast's workout suit and headed for the floor mat to stretch and warm up. After a basic warm up Leena turned on the small stero she had brought with her and placed it next to her bag with the volume on high. Loud intense music pumped out of the little box as Leena started tumbling and dancing across the mat.
Leena worked on many diferent floor routines then moved to the bars and twirled, spun and flipped away the agression accumulated that day.
Leena flung herself off the bars and performed a full twisting dismount and stuck the landing with practiced form, legs together toes slightly out and arms poised in a Y above her head which was held high. Leena closed her eyes for a moment in the silent gym (the music had ended a while ago). Leena felt good about the landing and relaxed and calm after that morning from hell.
CLAP..... CLAP.... CLAP.....
Suddenly the silence broke as a slow clapping filled the room. Leena's eyes flew open and she fought down a wave of panic. *No it can't be* she thought, *there was no one here.*
CLAP..... CLAP..... CLAP.....
Yet now there was, and they were slwowly clapping. |
