“Forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty” I said aloud. I had been doing chin ups on the high bar for the last twenty minutes. I swung my legs back and forth. I kept swinging until I was doing full 360’s around the bar. When I had enough speed, I propelled myself to the lower bar next to me, and then continued what I had been doing. This time when I had enough speed, I propelled my self to the higher bar. I kept swinging until I had enough speed. This time I propelled myself straight upwards, then landed perfectly balanced on the bar, even though it was only a couple inches thick. I walked along it then jumped down to the blue mats. I walked over to the balance beam and climbed up. First, I just walked along it, then I ran, then I skipped, then I did cartwheels and back flips along it. I jumped down and put my workout CD on then climbed back up. I did my advanced routine: Walk on my hands, back flip, front flip to the high bars, where I did seven flips, switched bars, then did seven more flips. After that, I jumped up onto the bar, and did a walking handstand. Then I propelled my self to the rings and held my body straight out like a pencil, my arms stretched. I felt like I was flying. I jumped down and walked over to the music player and stopped the CD. I walked over to the punching bags, looked around to make sure nobody was watching, and then posted up a picture of Wally and Artemis holding hands. Then I beat it up violently. My last punch was so hard it sent the punching bag flying off the chains that were holding it. I ran over to it then reattached it. *Clap, clap, clap, clap*. I whipped around to find Robin standing at the door, smirking at me.
“What?” I asked sheepishly
“I’m so over him, I don’t care that he’s dating my best friend, yay for you two” he mocked me “Very nice. Very nice indeed”
“What do you want, Robin?” I asked
“Oh, just the truth” he said slyly
“The truth is that the first person I’ve ever loved dumped me for my best friend. And don’t say: didn’t you love you parents? Because they died when I was three. They were divorced when I was two, so no, I didn’t love them” I found myself explaining everything to him.
“Night, calm down. I came to see if you were okay, not to get your whole life story” he sighed
I went to another punching bag and started to punch again.
“Night, I know this is hard for you, but you have to focus on right now, not something that happened hours ago” he soothed “It’s like my mom used to say: ‘Remember the past, dream about the future, but live the present’”
When he finished that sentence, I punched the bag so hard, I heard the ceiling creek where it was being suspended by chains.
“Did your mother die a couple years back? Was she a beautiful young lady who cared for everyone? Are you an only child?” I demanded
“Yes, yes and yes” he answered
“Was her last name Grayson?” I asked
“Yes” he replied
“Your mother was my first master at the dojo!” I exclaimed
“What?” I asked sheepishly
“I’m so over him, I don’t care that he’s dating my best friend, yay for you two” he mocked me “Very nice. Very nice indeed”
“What do you want, Robin?” I asked

A little head stron,
I was bitter,
I always wondered what was wrong with me,
Chorus:
It will always be like this forever.
Forever and ever with-a no lover,
I guess we could say i just wasnt made to love!
Forever an' ever,
I just wasnt made to love!
(end of chorus)
I never fell in love,
Just crushes along the years,
I aint scared of much,
But i gues love is something i'm scared of,I fear!
Everybodys asked if i've ever been in love,
Buts love just wasnt meant for me.
Can't you tell,
WHy dont you see?
Chorus
Everbody tells me i'm lying,
Bu I know the truth,
I dont need no slueth to tell me,
Why doesnt anyone believe?
Chorus
Love want meant for me!
