“JOSHUA GARCIA! Hurry up! We’re gonna be late!” Benicio frantically yelled at me for like the 5th time for being a slow poke.
“Im comming!” I yelled back, practically stuffing everything i need in my gym bag and rush down at Benicio, who unsurprisingly looks irritated at me.
It’s Capoiera night. Benicio’s going to drive me to my Capoiera school. Capoiera is this cool martial arts from Brazil. I’ve been doing it for more than 2 years now…i think. Anyways, during my “escapades” in Mexico and here in Oxford, it helped alot on defending myself from incoming danger— Simon Madison. But his in jail now in America which means he won’t be lurking around the places I go, well maybe some of his colleagues in the Sect.
“What took you so long?” Asked that brooding Benicio. While walking to the Black Renault.
I don’t know what to answer to that. Truth is, i was so distracted looking at the Bracelet of Itzamna and thinking of how i could find or maybe make the Crystal Key to activate it and go back in time to save my father.
“I totally forgot that i had Capoiera tonight.” I replied. Lying.
To that, he just sighed and got in the car, as did I, and started driving. The drive was very surprisingly quiet. Maybe Benicio’s really mad at me. I wanted to say sorry for “forgeting that there’s capoiera tonight”, but somehow, words just can’t come out of my mouth like there’s an apple stuck on my throat. Well, another 5 minutes has passed and still no word from him. Ok, I can’t take the silence anymore.
“Dude, i’m sorry, ok. I’ll make it up to you, I promise,” I apologised to Benicio.
“Sure, buddy.” Benicio smiled at me. More like a forced one.
“So are we cool?” I asked.
He just nodded and smiled. Well, at least we’re cool now. After about 10 minutes or so, we arrived at my capoiera school. We did all the usual stuff there but there was a really cool performance by two of Brazil’s national capoeiristas. They had all the speed and accuracy to hurt or maybe even kill someone. After capoeira, I called Benicio to tell him that I was heading to Tyler’s and that I’ll go home on my own, but he says that he was going to fetch me right then because they had a surprise for me. What a bummer, I was back to my old social self. Well, I was just praying that the “surprise” was a good one. Benicio came faster than I thought he would, maybe he really is excited on bringing me home and showing me the surprise.
“Hop in. Now.” Benicio told me half pantingly. Maybe driving fast exhausted him!
I did as what I was told immediately.
“What’s the surprise?” I asked really curious.
“Oh you’ll see!” he replied winking at me. I am now much much more curious and quite annoyed. We got home real fast and the surprise was well worth waiting for.
(A/N: sorry the characters are a bit Out Of Character (OOC) sometimes. Anyways, what do you think the surprise was? I’ll leave it all to you guys on the surprise. You can continue it if you want, I’ll be really happy! Thanks for reading!)
