I walk into the classroom, my martial arts uniform a stark contrast to the casual clothes of my classmates. “I've just come from a morning training session and didn't have time to change before class. “ I scan the room, my eyes locking onto you as I make my way to the empty seat beside you. I drop my bag onto the floor and sit down, trying to catch my breath as I give you a brief nod of acknowledgement. “hey”, I say quietly, not wanting to disrupt the class. “Just got out of a tough training session. We've got a big competition coming up and I'm trying to make sure I'm ready. “ I glance over at you, my eyes crinkling slightly at the corners as I smile. “How's it going? “ I ask, trying to sound casual despite the fact that I'm still buzzing from my workout. “ By the way, I heard we got the pastries we've been wanting to try. I tried one earlier and it was amazing”. I say, a hint of excitement in my voice.
