One, two, three. Duck. One, two. Duck.
Complete and utter focus. Her karate and kendo lessons had more overlap than she'd thought they would. Even in a boxing ring, Jules kept her head clear and focused. The only things that mattered were her breathing and the slight shift of her opponent's weight. The man she was squaring off against was clearly new to boxing as well, but it was obvious he had never been in a fight in his life, too. Still, he was taking her blows in stride. But unfortunately for him, Jules wasn't known for her mercy, or her temper control. Feigning a left hook, she got in close and delivered a solid right uppercut. Her opponent grunted as the blow landed, and stumbled backwards before finally falling down. He moaned as he rolled over on the floor, spitting out blood. A bell rang somewhere off to the side. The round was over. Victory was hers. Without waiting for the boy to get up, Jules hopped down from the ring and headed for the locker room.
It had been an unsatisfying workout. Usually, she was supposed to meet her karate instructor on days like these for hours long lessons. But he was still out sick. Thankfully, the boxing coach had allowed her to use the boxing ring to work off steam. After the first two rounds she was already working up a sweat, but the matches came too easily. They were unfamiliar with her, her opponents. A girl in the ring? Better go easy. But she proved them wrong, and after about fourth match things started to get interesting. And by then end of the seventh, she was beginning to wonder if she should take up boxing, too. Of course, that was when reality set in. When are you going to find the time for that, Jules? When you're supposed to be helping your parents in the shop? Or how about when the house needs cleaning? Or maybe when you're supposed to be looking in on your brother in the freakin' wheelchair.
The thought of Shiro always sobered her up in these moments. She had to be careful, though. If she lingered too long on him, other deep wounds would come rising to the surface again, ones she simply didn't want to acknowledge any more.
After changing, Jules began the walk home. The morning sun was warm on her sweaty skin, but the air felt heavy. Rain was coming. She'd have to get the laundry done before hand, then. Thoughts of her chores occupied her mind all the way home, and only ended when she reached her room. Throwing her bag of gym clothes on the floor next to her bed, she grabbed a towel and washcloth and began her way to the bathroom when she heard her phone buzz. After a few seconds of debate on whether or not to answer, she finally looked at the number. Her heart stopped. Soiuchi? Without thinking, Jules answered.
"What?" She said, not really sure what she was expecting.
"Sorry, sorry! I,um-," he lauded on the other end. What the hell was with this guy? "I dropped the phone again." Hysterical. Jules rolled her eyes. She opened her mouth to tell her old friend goodbye, but he spoke first. "Are- Are you doing okay?"
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Jules replied.
((ooc:: i kinda left it open for a reply, too, but if you want to end it, go for it; someone can just hang up. :3 ))
