With the holidays and New Years over, Gloria and the others returned to school. Already their was a sense of excitement as the seniors inched closer to the end of high school. The friends now found themselves sitting in the bleachers of gym awaiting the wrestling teams appearance.
"So where's Jackie," Felicia asked as Gloria and Sasha now joined her.
"National Honor Society," Gloria said. "And Naomi and Diane are at Anime Club so it looks like its just the three of us."
"Still can't believe Caleb and Adam talked Duke into joining the wrestling team," Sasha said.
"I still can't believe you talked me into watching them practice," Gloria smirked. "I mean how many times have I said no to watching wrestling Sasha?"
"At least a hundred," Sasha chuckled. "But thats pro wrestling." Felicia now turned to Gloria, seeing her friend sulk. "Oh cmon Glo," she groaned. "I mean its not that bad. Besides I'm tired of going to most of these things by myself."
"I'm sorry Felicia but..."
Gloria paused as the team now exited the locker room. The teens mouth dropping as she viewed her boyfriend in his wrestling singlet. Calebs well muscled body now strained against the outfit, accenting his toned physique, as well as other parts that made Gloria blush. "Is that their uniform," she asked. Felicia and Sasha nodded, stifling a laugh at their friends reaction.
"WHY DIDNT ANYONE TELL ME THATS WHAT THEY WORE!!!"
Sasha and Felicia now burst into laughter, Gloria's exclamation being just a bit too loud. The team now gave Gloria a dubious look as she now blushed crimson. "Sorry," she replied meekly.
Much to Sasha's relief, Adam, Caleb, and Duke were in different weight classes. While the three were friends, she was worried that any competition between them would boil over into hard feeling between her, Felicia, and Gloria. As the practice got underway, Felicia began to comment on the team.
"Adam is actually a really good wrestler," she said. "He was top 5 in the state for heavyweights last year. The coach actually thinks he has a shot at the state title." Sasha and Gloria now watched as the massive teen lifted his opponent up, slamming him to the mat. Sasha and Gloria winced as his opponent sprawled on the mat.
"Is Duke going to have to wrestle him," Sasha asked. Felicia shook her head no, as Caleb and Duke gave him a hi 5. "No different weight classes," Felicia stated. "I mean Caleb might be close. Is he over 200 lbs?"
"185," Gloria replied.
"And Duke is only 150," Sasha said.
"Then they won't have to face eachother," Felicia replied happily, breathing a small sigh of relief. For a moment the girls were happy enough that they could enjoy their boyfriends practice without it being a competition. As practice began to conclude they were all equally impressed with how their significant others had done.
Caleb and Adam seemed to dominate in their weight classes. Adams strength on full display as he manhandled his opponent. Meanwhile, Gloria was quite happy to see Caleb show off his skill as a fighter. Obviously, despite not having been on the wrestling team before, he had enough skill to take care of himself.
What surprised them was Duke. The damphir was hardly intimidating with his thin body. Despite his toned physique, the girls thought Duke would be dominated by his more experienced teammates. Instead the damphir used his supernatural speed and strength to best his opponent, drawing praise from his teammates.
"Way to go Duke," Sasha called, causing the damphir to blush. As the practice was about to end, the girls could easily say they had enjoyed watching their boyfriends. That is until Duke and Caleb squared off with one another.
"What are they doing," Sasha and Gloria asked in alarm. Felicia looked nervously between her friends and her boyfriend, quickly calling the burly teen over to her. "What are those two doing Adam," she hissed.
"Babe its tradition," Adam answered defensively. "The new guys gotta wrestle eachother at the end of the first practice." Felicia groaned, glancing nervously up at both Gloria and Sasha, this might end up badly.
"Um Glo, Sasha," she said meekly. "Umm Duke and Caleb have to wrestle eachother. Its..um...tradition."
Sasha and Gloria balked, looking between their boyfriends, Felicia and themselvess before scowling at one another.
"My boyfriend is going to kick your boyfriends ASS," they replied in unison.
Caleb and Duke now locked up, the damphirs magenta eyes glowing as he gazed at the demon hunter. "Did you know about this," he asked.
"Nope," Caleb replied, the teens muscles straining under Dukes supernatural strength. "Adam dumped this on me at the last second just like you."
Duke sighed, his muscles increasing in size slightly as Caleb tried to gain an advantage. "Sasha is going to be pissed."
"Yeah Gloria is not gonna be happy either," Caleb said. "Remind me to get back at Adam for this later."
"So what do we do," Duke asked. "I can't lose in front of Sasha!"
"And I can't lose in front of Gloria," Caleb replied. "And you realize if one of us does lose the girlfriend of the lose is gonna be pissy all week."
"Tell me about it," Duke grumbled, the damphir shifting his weight once more to make it look like he was taking control. "So whats the plan?"
"A draw," Caleb replied. "Just follow my lead." Duke raised an eyebrow before nodding as the two teens jostled for position.
Sasha and Gloria now found themselves both cheering on their boyfriends and trading barbs. Caleb and Duke now began to move around the mat, neither teen gaining a clear advantage. No one seemed to notice the two teens creeping closer and closer to Adam. With a nod the two teens now launched themselves at the burly teen, effectively tackling him to the ground with a sickening thud.
The entire gym now collectively winced, a loud groan escaping everyone's mouth as the three teens lay in a heap. "The hell man," Adam groaned, his head and crotch throbbed from the impact.
"Sorry Adam," Caleb whispered.
"We'll explain later," Duke added.
Gloria, Sasha, and Felicia now sprinted to their boyfriends side. The teens now helping their boyfriends to their feet. "Are you guys okay," they asked in unison.
"I think so," Duke answered, pretending to nurse an injured shoulder.
"Yeah same," Caleb replied, the teen now faking a knee injury..
"I should of worn a cup," Adam groaned.
"You three okay," the coach asked as he studied his three wrestlers. The teens nodded, wincing at their perceived injuries. "Well I guess we can call this a tie then," the coach answered. "Hit the showers everyone and you two, put some ice on those injuries when you get home. And Haskins, wear a cup from now on."
Caleb and Duke nodded as their girlfriends now hugged them. As Gloria and Sasha now gushed about their performance the hunter and damphir exchanged a knowing wink.
