Sorcha Knight In The City 25 Date Or Not?

"Run! Don't slow down!" The stern voice of a man was heard in the whole area.

Sorcha didn't have the energy to reply to her uncle David as she continues to run. Her small face is covered in sweat, and her clothes were all drenched. She has been running for some time now.

The training started at exactly 4:30 am, and her usual kind and gentle uncle has turned into a strict malevolent teacher. Not that she mind though, it was just a bit scary to look at his uncle's serious gaze.

"Okay that's enough for now. We'll have training again later before dinner. This whole week, we'll focus more on developing your stamina and endurance. Go rest first and prepare for school." Uncle David instructed her.

"Yes uncle!" Sorcha shouted while slightly panting, finally able to appreciate the fresh morning breeze.

~~

Pioneer high school on the same day.

"Guys, let's go play together in my house. My parents have been asking me to show my friends to them." Rica said to the group.

"When?" Luke asked.

"Depends on you. How about today after cla.s.s?" Rica suggested.

"Sorry. I can't." Sorcha said with an apologetic tone.

"How about tomorrow? Or on weekends?" Rica again asked.

"I am not sure"

"Heeey why!? What are you upto?" Luke curiously questioned. Edmund on the side quietly looked at her too.

"Sigh.. It's just that I will be busy these days." Sorcha explained.

She looked at Rica then added, "I'll make it up to you next time."

Rica pouted, "Mm, 'kay. But you have to promise you'll come next time!" She said while tugging Sorcha's sleeves.

"Okay." Sorcha promised her.

"Heeeey! Don't tell me you are going on a date???!" Luke shouted, making some of the early students look at them.

Sorcha and the others just rolled their eyes at this troublesome kid.

Suddenly, Ryan, wearing a teacher's uniform appeared on the cla.s.sroom's door and walked infront of the cla.s.s. Hearing the energetic shout of Luke he laughed and said, "Haha you guys seem lively today but you should all quiet down for now. We are going to start our lesson."

~~

On the school gate. After school hours.

"Sorcha, you're really not coming with us?" Rica asked again.

"I will next time." She replied.

"Okayyy.. then we're going now!" Rica said reluctantly.

"Take care guys." Sorcha waved her hands.

"Don't go on a date!" Luke said with threatening eyes before turning around, bringing the silent Edmund with him.

Black lines formed on Sorcha's forehead when she heard him. 'does this kid have a loose screw?' she asked herself internally.

"Haha Luke is too playful." Ryan walked near her.

"Mr. Ryan" Sorcha greeted. "He is indeed."

"Oh my little sis has forgotten about her big brother?" Ryan said with a teasing voice.

Sorcha scratched her head. "Big Brother."

Ryan laughed feeling satisfied, "how's your first day of training?"

"You know?" Sorcha asked, shocked.

"Haha of course. Your father told me." He winked at her.

"My dad really blabbers a lot." She sighed, imagining her father's face while talking about her.

"You train properly and make sure to take care of yourself." Ryan advised.

"Yes." She said then glanced at the incoming family's car. "Big Brother I'm going now."

"Okay. Keep safe." Ryan gently brushed her hair again.

Sorcha no longer bothered in removing his hands, it looks like it has become his habit already.

"I will." She turned around and entered the car.
