Julie's pov:

"Is.. is... is that who I think it is?" My mouth opens wide in complete shock.

Ashton walks to stand beside me and puts his finger under my chin to close my mouth.

"Keep that open princess and you might swallow flies." He says. But I just completely ignore him while I stand in complete HORROR.

Standing in front of my very eyes was the Principal.

Now you're probably thinking, Julie, you see him all the time in the hallways, why are you acting like you just saw Satan himself?

Let me tell you, looking at Satan is better than looking at this.

The principal walked in with shorts, bare chest, and a sweat band around his forehead.

I will never see the same again.

"Uh." I say dumbfounded. All the boys try to stifle a laugh at the principal as he walks up to the coach and starts talking to him.

The worst part about it is he looks sixty years old.

"Oh yeah, did I mention he comes here also?" Ashton says smirking at me.

Is it too late to take back the Ashton is actually not that bad part?

"Well it's official guys, we scarred Julie for life." Zander says.

"She will never be able to think the same again." Jake says shaking his head.

"And she was so innocent too." Luke says joining in.

"You guys..... are horrible people." I say to the boys under my breath.

They nods their heads as if agreeing with me.

Suddenly the lights around the room start to flicker and glow.

"What's happening" I say to Ashton as he looks up and starts to smile.

Him and Zander do some sort of fist bump before they both just walk away from us into some sort of room.

Well okay then.

Jake sees my distress and walks over. "The match is going to start."

"Shouldn't there be like, an actual audience?"

"Oh this isn't an official match, this is what we like to call, a learning match."

"Huh?"

But instead of answering my question, Jake and Luke both walk away, like Ashton did, and pick random seats in the audience.

Seriously do they just normally walk away from a conversation or something?

Maybe they never learned that it is actually impolite to walk away from people while they are talking to you.

Suddenly, I feel a pull on my arm. I spin around to see Damien behind me.

"What are you waiting for?" He asks. He nudges me to follow where the two boys went off too.

I hesitantly sit down in one of the seats behind where Luke and Jake are seated.

Every second that passes, the boys look more and more anxious.

What are they waiting for? They look like they are about to literally jump out of their seats.

As I am trying to figure out what's happening, the lights suddenly turn completely off before they turn back on with red lights filling up the whole entire room.

I hear a door slam open and someone walks out. They seem to be fully dressed in a boxing type outfit. But I couldn't figure out who it was because this person had a helmet on.

"Who is that." I whisper to no one in particular.

Luke turns around and gives me a smirk.

When I figure out that he is not going to answer my question, I give my attention back on the guy who just walked out.

I look a little closely to see if maybe I could atleast detect something that I might have saw on someone earlier.

The outfit though seems to be completely black with a matching black helmet.

Suddenly, my eyes flicker to the person's shoulder.

Huh, they are wearing a dark green shirt under their 'uniform.'

That's funny, I'm pretty sure I saw Ashton walk out with a shirt that was the same exact color as that one.... oh god.

"Is that Ashton??!" I whisper very loudly to the boys. They don't look at me but nod their heads looking eagerly at the other door.

After about a minute, the other door opens up to another boy. I realized instantly that it was one of the boys practicing on one of the mats earlier when I first walked in.

They both walk up to the ring in the direct center of the room.

My eyes turn to the people standing around the ring, I first start to recognize the coach, then the principal.

When I looked to the other side, Zander was standing close to the ring also.

"This is a learning match." Damien says from beside me.

"So it's when you fight the person on your team?"

"Yep"

"That doesn't make sense. Aren't you suppose to work as a team. Not fight each other? "

"Actually they are helping one another." Luke says turning around towards me.

Jake turns around too. "It helps to learn where you are as a boxer, and what you need to work on."

"You can't always box the same people or you will get used to always seeing the same old moves and strategies." Luke says.

I nod my head to them as if telling them that I understand.

We look back at the match in time to see the referee counting down from three to start the match.

After one, a loud buzzing sound is made and it begins.

They start off walking in circles making direct eye contact with one another.

This goes on until the other guy decides to make the first move.

He makes an attempt to punch Ashton in the stomach but Ashton quickly dodges it.

"Nice one" I here Damien mumble to himself.

The boy looked confused for a second until he turns back around to see that Ashton is now behind him.

But again, Ashton doesn't make the first move.

The boy goes in for another punch, but Ashton dodges it again.

It doesn't make sense, what is Ashton doing?

"Why isn't Ashton fighting back?" I whisper to Damien. He doesn't hear me for a second because he was so focused on the match until I tap his shoulder and repeat the question to him.

"He is doing his job as a captain."

"Which is?"

"He is training him."

To be completely honest, it just looks like a regular match to me.

As I look more closely, I can see that the boy is breathing hard, trying to control his breaths as Ashton seems unaffected.

Is this what Damien meant? Ashton looks like he is in complete control of the fight as the other boy looks like he can't even seem to focus.

His punches start to become weak and sloppy as he tries to punch Ashton at least once.

Control. Ashton is trying to teach the boy about control.

Suddenly, after several minutes, the boy collapses on the ground from exhaustion.

Ashton didn't even try to attack once and he won.

"Come on!!" I hear Luke say as he rushes down the stairs.

We all follow him to the back where Ashton and Zander are sitting.

"That was so cool dude!!" Jake says and slaps Ashton on the back.

Ashton looks like he is about to say something until his eyes travel to his phone screen light up.

He picks it up and reads it before sighing.

"Whats wrong dude? You look like you just got a text from the devil himself." Luke says and laughs.

But he quickly stops when he realizes that no one else is laughing with him.

Ashton doesn't say anything but I can see him and Zander making eye contact. It's like they were speaking a language while just looking at each other.

"Go dude." Zander says to him.

Ashton then looks at me. "We got her dude," Zander says and puts his arm around me.

Ashton nods his heads and quickly rushes out without saying anything else.

Jake, Luke, and Damien all look at Zander questionably, but Zander doesn't say anything about what just happened. He says something completely different.

"Who's in the mood for waffles?"
