My Secret Love

I cross my arms across my chest hoping they don't think I'm going to be trying my luck at that weight. I have Beta blood not warrior blood and I'm female. Not that I'm delicate by any means but an average human male can bench 160 lbs., which I should be able to beat but Kyle is a ball of massive muscle with his warrior blood!

Logan walks over to me with a quirky grin, "you want to try that weight?" he laughs. "Are you trying to kill me?" I laugh, "Why I'm a delicate little flower of a girl!" Logan shakes his head, "I would believe that if I hadn't seen you in action training with your Aunt and Uncle when they were visiting. You are almost as deadly as they are!" "That is karate and not strength training. It wouldn't hurt for me to do more strength training. I need to find a spotter though. Don't want to get over eager and pinned under the bar bell" I laughed.

Logan looked over at the pretty girl standing beside him. He didn't know why he has this wanting to be near her but it started this morning and he can't seem to shake this feeling. She is very pretty but in a school of shifters they are all pretty even though he would have to say she is in the top 5 if not the prettiest. He likes how she is laughing and talking to him now with none of the shyness that she usually shrouds herself in. Her bright and funny side just makes her beauty shine that much more.

Kyle finished his turn at the bench press and sat up to walk over and join his friend. "Impressive," I said. Kyle smiled at me and said "Yes, my mate is very impressed at my strength". "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't hear you found your mate." I exclaimed. "Yes she is from a different school, I met her during summer camp, she is supposed to join me in a couple weeks." "That's great, I'm glad you found your mate and she can join you here. Congrats to you and her!"

Logan slapped his buddy on the shoulder and commented "I'm going to see what Sara has learned this summer, see how much she can press." Logan and Kyle went over and changed the weights to 200 lbs. I breathed a sigh of relief that it was a more manageable weight. The guys chuckled when I took a disinfectant wipe and wiped the sweat off the bench press seat before I sat on it. "What, I don't want to smell like your sweaty bodies!" I exclaimed. I laid down on the seat and grabbed the bar hanging over my head. Logan took his place at the head of the bench and nodded to me as a signal to start.

I lifted the weight off the bar and started pressing it easily up and down. Logan grinned, "you are holding out on me, we need to put more weight on it." I grinned to myself, knowing that I can do at least 300 lbs. but the guys don't know that. Finally after changing to 25 lb. increments several times it got up to a weight I couldn't bench easily and Logan caught it as I started losing my grip and was awkwardly trying to lift it. Logan nodded "not bad, 300 lbs." he quipped, "if you worked on your strength you would be able to bench that easily." "I will spot you if you want to work on it".

"Thanks, I said, we can work on it on the days we have gym or after class if they don't have the bench ready to go." Just then the teacher came over and reminded us that there was only 15 minutes left of class and it was time to change and get ready to leave for the day. I get changed into my clothes and get ready to go home. I will shower when I get home since it is the end of the day and figure only me and my sister will have to deal with the sweat in my car on our way home.
