Faye danced back and forth in front of the punching bag. Sweat beaded down her skin as she spun with a sharp kick at the bag. It swung back on its chain and came back only to be struck by a jab. She had been here since this afternoon. The moment she had awoken from her power nap; some girls had come back and were talking about the weigh room. She quickly sped out of the dorm actually scaring the girls with her speed. Oh, well was her reaction.
It was already early evening and surprising she had been the only one once in a while to be there. Sure a few guys popped in to lift weighs and such, but most of the time it was only her and the punching bag.

James entered the weight room while it was almost deserted, the way he preferred it. It wasn't often that he lifted with the students, but sometimes he would go when he didn't have a class. He was dressed in black shorts, a plain white t-shirt, and grey running sneakers. He left the students to their exercises while he began stacking weights onto one of the barbells above the benchs. Whenever he lifted with students, he normally did a light workout without exceeding a weight of 300 pounds.

Faye yelled as she pummeled the bag with a swift roadhosue kick. She then smiled slightly at how much energy she was putting in this. Well, it had been a long time since she worked out like this. Normally she would spar with David and have their uncle point them. Faye then struck the bag with such force the chain almost snapped. Faye froze like a deer in headlights hoping no one had noticed...She tried to go lightly with her hits...

James lay back on the bench with his head back, lifting the barbell of its support just in time to notice Faye's hit. He recognized her as the girl that had interrupted his class with her sibling, but he didn't say anything. He kept an eye on her as he began bench pressing 150.

Faye finally gave it a rest with the bag and headed over to the weighs. She suddenly noticed that the teacher whose class she and David barged in on was there. She merely smiled if he noticed her approach quickly sitting down on a bench. She grabbed two inconspicuous small ones weighing at say 30 lbs. She flexed her arms closing her eyes and taking deep breathes.

David raced to the weigh room where he hoped to find Faye. He was grinning so much at what he wanted to show her he nearly wasn't paying attention to the guys walking out. He maneuvered through them as he entered. He jumped when he saw her, "HEY FAYE!"
Faye groaned the moment she heard his voice. She turned to see David skidding into the room in a pair of black exercise shorts and shirt. His hands like hers had been taped as if he was ready to knock around the bag himself, which she hoped he of all people didn't. "How does he always find me," she whispered watching him come over.
"Hey, sis, you are not going to believe what I found out," David suddenly saw the teacher, but went on to say what he had to say, "Check this out..." David handed her a flyer he saw floating around campus...
Faye looked down at it with feigned curiosity. It read:
STREET FIGHTER UNTIE! TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT WE WELCOME ALL CHALLENGERS TO FACE OUR REIGNING KING OF STREET FOR...
Faye read the last bit aloud, "A hundred thousand dollars!"
"Shhhhh," David waved his hand in front of her face and directed his eyes over to the teacher. He picked her up and lead her over to the punching bags. "So you wanna win us a nice bundle of lettuce..." David said grinning with hope...
"What?!" Faye said wanting to hit him, but he shushed her yet again. "What?!" She exclaimed lower. "Why don't you risk your neck?"
"Because Faye, you are more nimbler than I," David said...
"Is that the best you can come up with?" Faye said glaring at him...
"And you're faster...And you're--" He couldn't bring himself to say it without insulting himself more, "You're more cunning than me and could easily pull one over on the the supposed 'Street King'."

James did several reps of ten, catching Faye's slight smile as she went to lift. He paid little attention to the others students coming and going, but he was aware of everything going on. Of course he could hear their conversation and how David was trying to convince her to go for the prize, but he acted as though he wasn't listening. He even stood up and began adding more weights as he waited for her answer.

"Cooomee oon, Fifi," David whined as he hung on to one of the bags swaying back and forth on it.
"What did I say about calling me that," Faye snapped, " I said I'd beat your head in, didn't I?"
"Come on Faye, please," David said giving puppy-dog eyes, "I have a plan...We get the money and we run away...We go back to Europe...You liked Europe remember?"
"Yes, David, I know...But running away isn't going to fix anything..." Faye remained silent for a bit and glanced over at the teacher wondering if he was listening in. Faye sighed with anguish, "Fine..."
"What was that?" David said putting a hand to his ear.
"I'll do it..."David shouted for joy and grabbed her spinning around.
"Hey, put me down you big ape!"
David put her down grinning from ear to ear.

James finished putting on more weight, and glanced at them long enough for them to see. Noticing the girl's reluctance to fight, and her hesitation to give him an answer, he guessed that she suspected he was listening. He threw the glance their way to confirm her suspicion.

The moment David set her down she locked eyes with that teacher. ...Yep, he heard every word... she thought. She bit her lip as David kissed her forehead. "Alright, meet me at the boys' dorm around eleven okay... We'll spar a little..."David said grinning then he quickly ran out.
Faye then walked over to the teacher and stared at him,"You obviously heard most if not all of that, right?..."

James had turned around and was about to get in position on the bench, when Faye come up behind him. He turned around to face her. "Right." He answered, looking at her to see how she would react.

"Oh, joy," Faye merely sighed as she rolled her head around to creak her neck. "Do any of the other teachers know about it? About the secret little contest?" Faye said with feigned excitement.

"I don't see why they would. They're a little preoccupied with more important things... like ridding the world of evil." James answered in a tone that made it hard to tell whether he was serious or slightly sarcastic. He turned his back to her and lay back down on the bench to continue lifting.

"Oh, yeah, kinda forgot about the whole evil consuming the world thing considering I have had my fill of it," Faye said noting the tone he set in his voice. "So why the hell I am I agreeing to my brother's idiotic schemes.." Faye sat down on the nearby bench with clear annoyance in her voice.

"I think most of us here have." James replied, lifting the weight off its support and bringing it down to his chest. "And that's a good question." He added as he raised the weight up until his arms were straight.
