Alexander gazed up at the white ceiling of the dojo as he lay flat on his back, limbs spread out. He took deep breaths of air, completely exhausted by the whole lesson.
It had been way more intense than he had initially thought it would be. It was no wonder Auralia had made them warm up for thirty minutes. Otherwise he would've pulled something by now.
All that tumbling around, practicing positions and moving onto basic submissions had left him drenched in a coat of sweat and in need of something to drink.
As if the universe was heeding to his call for something cold to drink, a bottle appeared in front of him as someone said, "Here. You should drink this."
Alexander slowly sat up, grabbing the cold bottle. "Thanks… Brady."
The kid standing in front of him just nodded his head before turning to Jamie who was sitting on the mat next to Alexander, one leg bent up so he could lean on it.
