76 Train, train

The next day Zara found herself being woken up by Alice's back to back calls. She picked up after the fourth call, "God, did someone finally propose to you? Or did you dropkick yet another guy."

Alice laughed, "Nice try. Get up and dress in sports attire. I'm coming in 20"

Zara groaned in her sleep, "Why?"

Alice replied, "Well, if you don't want to learn to fight, it's okay by me. I'll ask Ryan to go with his stupid Rebecca to God knows wherever they go"

At the mention of Ryan and Rebecca, Zara leapt out of her bed all traces of sleep vanishing in an instant. She tried to ask casually, "R…Ryan would be there?"

Alice suppressed her smile, "As your teacher"

Zara gulped uncomfortably at the thought and hurried to the bathroom. She took a quick shower before dressing in a sports bra, black sweatpants and a loose t-shirt along with gym shoes.
