A few days have passed and I thought about what Yichen had said to me before. Should I really go for the training?
I mean it'd even help me with my stamìna and build strength. Hmm, why not?
I dialed his number and talked to him about my decision. He said he was really happy to have me onboard as it has always been him and his father.

"Woah, you never told me the place was this huge like....I know mechanic shops are huge but this...this is way huge" I looked around the place and it was so huge that I think I could get lost in here especially with the amount of cars displayed everywhere.
"Best you don't get lost then, it's hard to find anyone in here but my dad helps out with that"
Wait, doesn't that mean that someone has indeed lost their way in here. Im just gonna stick with Yichen everytime I come here. That seems like the best option right now.
"Hey Pa, I've brought my friend that I was talking about the other day" Yichen was talking to a middle aged man who looked like they would not hesitate to kill anyone.
"Nice to meet you young lady, you can call me Mr. Zang, please make yourself at home" Mr. Zang gave a small smile as he continued sipping somw kind of tea from his cup
"...Um, right, it's nice to meet you as well....Mr.Zang" I smiled back at him.

"When you are going up against someone, you have to make sure you know your opponents strengths and weal points"
Mr.Zang pulled a whiteboard out, drawing out a few weak points that people don't realize they have. He also adviced me to work on my form and to try to find out which type of fighthing style would suit me.
"If you ever feel stuck trying to find a suitable one for you, come to me then and I can give you a few options of mine" he said.
I wondered why he can't just say it now so that I could find out more about the options he give but maybe it's like a form of......test?
We didn't do any training of some sort just some light streching and a few things that I'd have to do at home.
"Don't worry too much about finding the perfect fighting style. If you stress too much about it you'll eventually not be able to stick with one. Speaking from experience" Yichen scrunched his face as he said those words.
Must have been one really bad experience.
"Yo Yichen, who's your friend there?" A tman who looked to be in his 20s asked.
He was wearing a beanie and had tattoos covering his hands until his neck. He even had piercing which is quite hard to see on a guy.
"Lex this is Pronto, Pronto this is Lex. She's my classmate from school who helped me around the school"
Pronto ooh'd and had his hand out towards me which I politely accepted. We talked with Pronto for a while and it seems that he used to work in like a....bodyguard kind of job? He said it required a lot of fighting maybe the military?
I couldn't bring myself to ask because I was in a huge place which could one get me lost. Two, they know how to fight way better than me and three, someone just admit their work requires lots of fighting.
So no, I would like to not be killed today. No, thank you.

A few weeks have passed since I first step foot into Zang's Mechanics. I have also found my fighting style although it's nothing too crazy. The style that I chose was taekwondo because I had a little experience as I had joined one a few years back.
I had to quit taekwondo due to an injury I got before but once it healed I never really thought of going back there.
I also met a few other people here and it turns out none of them work for the military but they were bodyguards. Bodyguards for famous people like celebrities and important figures but also famous underground people. If you get what I mean.
But I also go to know that they were all the sweetest person I've ever known. They take care of each other even though they don't share the same blood. It's quite nice being around them.
Mr. Zang helped me alot with my training but then he gave me over to Mrs. Zang. And boy must I tell you, I think I died everytime we sparred together.
Yichen is doing well as well, it has somewhat gotten....better at school? As far as I've known there's no one pulling any tricks on him.
But, there have been someone messing with me when I'm not around. They leave notes around or mess up my locker but they never show themselves.
It's hard to pin point the person who could be behind all of this ever since the first fight when me and Yichen fought against those boys.
I'm sure they are bound to show themselves to me. I mean just how long can you hide. People always leave a trail behind.
