TRAVELLING

"Start packing" said Coach Michael.

"Why?" I asked over the phone.

"I've already finished making arrangement for the AGC" he replied, "Tell Enri and Grey to get ready we'll leave in three days" coach Michael said firmly leaving no space for negotiating.

"What about our passports? Grey and I don't have our international passports" I said.

"I said I already finished making arrangements for everything so stop talking and start packing" he said.

"Ok" I simply replied.

"Just get the essentials, we'll get new clothes when we reach" Coach Michael suddenly added before hanging up.

I just stood there for a second stunned by how fast the situation had progressed, from the moment Coach Michael said Start packing to when he hung up, it all happened in less than minute.

"Grey, Enri start packing" I said in my best impression of Coach Michael.

"Alright, where are we going?" asked Enri.

"I have got no idea" I said laughing.

"At least we'll be free of Samantha" said Grey with a wide smile.

"That deserves a toast" Blue said to me.

I checked my stat menu which was still open and before sighing.

"It's so hard to increase my stat" I thought to myself.

…

"Two days to go!!!" screamed Grey as he threw his phone on his bed with a look of suffering.

"I almost feel like destroying my phone right now" I said, at this point honestly it seemed as if she knew we were going to soon disappear and she calls so frequently Enri actually threw his phone into a bowl of water.

The only reason we answered Samantha's calls was because we thought at least one of her calls would be about something serious.

"That's it, I'm calling Coach Michael and asking if we could go sooner" Enri said, "Hyla give me your phone"

"There is no way I'm giving you my phone" I said as I gripped my phone tighter, "Nobody told you to put your phone in a bowl of water" I laughed.

"I can't handle it anymore, she called me when I shaving and almost made me cut my lips, I don't care what happens to her anymore she's a devil" Enri said.

"we better go get you a new phone instead" I suggested as I quickly put my phone in my pocket.

"If you had listened to me we would not have this problem" said Blue, "Just kill her, problem solved" he said in a matter of fact manner.

"You can't just kill someone because they annoy you" I said telepathically to Blue, "Stop watching does documentaries and movies about wars, they're turning you into something different" I added.

"You're not the boss of me" replied blue as he disappeared.

"I technically am" I countered, while blue acted as if he could not hear me.

"I don't want to get a new phone" said Enri with a sad expression, "even if I get a new line she's still going to find a way to get it" he said shaking his head.

"Well she's sort of is your responsibility" said Grey with a laugh.

"How?" he asked.

"You were the one her dad told to pick her up and in doing so he entrusted her to you" I explained.

"I hate my life" he screamed, "I better go buy that phone" he said as he grudgingly stood up.

We all lazily pulled ourselves up as we left the dorm going to the busiest trading center of the city so we could get Enri a new phone.

Sure enough, merely six hours after Enri got his new phone, Samantha called. If you ask me she's surely got a problem with boundaries or maybe she just loved making people annoyed.

…

"Everybody make sure everything is already packed, we're leaving tomorrow" I said.

"Stop being an old lady, we already packed everything" replied Grey.

"Shut up and check again" I said.

"Say no more Granny" retorted Grey.

I just stared at Grey for a moment, ever Grey and Enri decided to join me on this dangerous adventure we had not spoken about it again but I knew it was something that we had to talk about sooner or later but for now it seemed as if the time was not right. I didn't know what they thought about the situation currently but I guess it was not something simple to understand.

There was no right time for something like this but there was also no wrong time, so there was no use in rushing things.

Everybody quickly checked their bags one more time going over the lists in their head.

"Has anyone told Samantha that we'll be gone?" asked Grey.

"I haven't told her, what about you Enri?" I asked.

"Nope, even if she calls don't tell her who knows if she'll try to follow us there" said Enri with a look of horror on his face.

"We still need to tell her" said Grey.

"Sure, we'll tell her when we arrive" replied Enri.

The day had finally arrived and we were all packed we only had a single backpack each since Coach Michael said we would get new clothes once we arrived.

Coach Michael drove to the dorm, actually he was not the one driving to day which was a surprise in itself since he hardly lets anyone get close to his car.

"Well don't just stand there, get in" he said.

We snapped out of our daze as we hurriedly hopped into the car.

"Which country are we travelling to?" asked Enri, who was supposed to be the expert at all things travel related since Grey and I had never left the country before.

"I told you boys to talk less and listen more but it seems like you boys are unable to do that" he said.

"well, you can't exactly blame us for being curious" I said.

"Fine, now shut up" retorted Coach Michael, "I hope you boys are in good condition even thought I let you guys have a three-day break since I was so busy prepping for this trip?" he asked.

"We're alright" I answered.

Grey and Enri already knew martial arts, but when Coach Michael emphasized that the although the Athletic Games Conference was called as such it was nothing but a fighting competition where top athletes compete, they both had to go back to training in their martial arts so that they could compete.

It was going to be a contest of skill and power, they would be no weak existence there.
