After Practice (open)

[michaelerickson]

Michael pushed out the last set and quickly let the weights hang. He wiped his brow and quickly jumped in the shower. It had been a long day and practice had been ridiculous today. He felt exhausted but new he needed to get in a good lift all the same. So after a good hour, Michael was hanging it up. He needed to get home and get some sleep, eat and get his homework done. Michael shook his head, the shower felt great the hot water burning into his skin and releasing all the stress in his muscles. He shut off the water and just stood there for a second basking in the steam surrounding him.

He reached for his towel and quickly got dressed. He was now wearing khakis and a black t-shirt with his Timberwolves hat on backwards. He took one step towards the exit, before remembering he had forgotten his bag. He turned and swung it onto his shoulder before heading outside.

Michael headed towards his truck, an old fashioned ford. It was bright red but it ran even in its beat up condition. He swung his bag into the back and went to jump into the truck when he noticed something. He slid back out of his seat and saw that his tire was punctured. "Damnit" he punched his truck. There was a spare in the back, but the last thing he felt like doing was fixing this tire right now. He begrudgingly jumped into the back and threw the spare on the ground. He jumped down and grabbed the jack from the back seat. "What a freakin waste of time" Michael's ears picked up a noise, someone was behind him. He slowly grabbed the tire iron off the back seat, he was the last one to leave practice and most anyone else who would still be on campus knew better than to sneak up on him. He swallowed and waited before turning iron in hand ready to strike.

Bonnie had been getting some books from Ric's office that could be useful to her and she hadn't realized that it had gotten so late. Things have been on edge lately. With Katherine in town and having Elena's face. She has yet to meet the woman but she doesn't want too. And with the stuff with Tyler and everything. She was just trying to help. And she just wanted to sleep for a few hours and worry more in the morning. Yet if she could help then that was what she was gonna do. Who needed sleep?

Figuring that she was the last one here, she doesn't hurry along. She could take care of herself. She doesn't need protection now. She could defend herself against a vampire if one happened to be out for a nightly snack. She held her books under her arms and moved out of the school, having parked in the parking lot. She noticed a truck and more importantly a guy who looked quite agitated. He needed help?

She moved a little closer seeing that he had a flat tired. She raised her hands looking shock when he turned to her and looked like he would had taken her head off with the crow bar. [color=[purple]"Woah, was just checking seeing if you needed a ride or help. Flat tire?"

[/color] She gave a friendly smile and watched him a moment. She think she have seen him around on the football team. He was quiet and seemed to keep to himself. There was something almost sad about him.

She looked at the tired and focused on it a little. She imagined the air flowing back into the tire, could feel it inflating and growing firm before the hole almost completely patches up. She lets out a slow breath as she smiled to herself a moment. "You sure it's flat? IT looks okay to me." She said with a small mock innocent voice as she inspected it like she doesn't know what she was talking about yet she has changed a tired before or gotten Matt to do it.

She pretty much raised herself and had learned to do things on her own without a father or male figure in her life. It felt good being able to help him even if it was a small feat. It was the small things that counted right? [/size]
