[Lawns] Work Out (Jason)

[angelinagomez]

Run. Faster. Harder! Angelina repeated the mantra in her head as she ran the obstacle course she had conjured up on the lawns. Run up the steel sloping bar, onto the pull up bar, 15 pull ups, now to the mats for some curl ups and push ups. Arms behind her head, fingers interlocked. "One, two, three, four, five. One. One, two, three, four, five. Two. One, two, three, four, five. Three..." she counted the repetitions to herself. Flipped over on her stomach, did the same with push ups. Now, onto the monkey bars, first forwards, then backwards. Onto another bar, this time she held on with her hands while she lifted her knees up to her chest. Ab strengthener.

Angelina dropped, landing breathlessly on the ground. Her limbs were shaking from effort and exhaustion, breath coming in short gasps. Her white tank and black shorts stuck to her skin. "Okay, fifteen more minutes. You can do it." she told herself, steely determination in her eyes.

She walked over to a pair of uneven parallel bars. She reached, jumped up, and grabbed the high bar. She hung there for a moment getting her grip. Then up, over, and around. Heels over head. She swung down again, this time letting go in mid-air and pivoting her body to face the way it had come. Grabbed the bar again, and dropped. And now, the finish. The obstacle course, backwards. The abs bar, the monkey bars, the push ups, curl ups, and finally down the sloping bar.

Exhausted, Angelina collapsed onto the ground, closing her eyes as a cool breeze drifted across the nearby lake, the sun warm against her skin. Suddenly a shadow drifted over her, darkening the space above. "Whoever is standing in my light, kindly move before I move you. And you won't like it either." she said lazily, not even bothering to open her eyes.

[Jason Walker]

"Whoever is standing in my light, kindly move before I move you. And you won't like it either."

"We wouldn't have this problem if you weren't sitting in my light, now would we?" Jason replied with a smirk before laughing softly. Oh yes, he owned the light and every other substance known to man. Well, atleast in his mind he did.

"But that's besides the point. I came out here after hearing a multitude of grunts, huffs and at times screams. Sounded like a bit of frustration needed to be blown off. But then I realized it was just you." The slytherin simply shrugged before taking his wand out of his pocket.

"Then I saw you playing here outside so I thought I'd come down to tell you something." He said, grinning. "It's not healthy to play for such long amounts of time without being properly hydrated." With that, he conjured up a bottle of water and tossed it to Angelina with a faint smile. Unfortunately for her, the water was quite warm.

Angelina supressed a groan. Oh great, Walker. Just what I needed! she thought bitterly to herself. She wasn't in the mood to deal with the egotistical arse at the moment.

Of course he wasn't usually an arse, but today he was, and it pissed her off to no end. Alright, he wants to be a jerk, fine. Two can play that game she said to herself. Her eyes snapped open and she glared heatedly. If looks could kill, Jason would be six-feet under by now. "Oh shut your trap Walker!" she snarled, pushing herself up off the ground and shoving past him. "What the hell makes you think you own the light anyway?" she asked, eyes glittering with annnoyance. "And for your information Walker, I was working out. Not playing."

She grabbed the low-hanging branch of a tree and pulled herself up into the foliage. Here, she could have some peace. Then, the rustling of leaves as someone climbed up after her. Or maybe not... "Ugh. Great." she muttered becoming even more irritated.

[Jason Walker]

"I guess anyone could make the mistake of playing and 'working out' when it's done so.." Jason furrowed his brows in thought while tapping at his chin with a finger. "Ah.. daintily." He nodded in confirmation.

Watching as she brushed past him, the Slytherin turned to watch the bag of hormones climb a tree in hopes of getting away from him. All women are the same.

With his wand still in hand, Jason muffled a snicker as he continued to watch Angelina climb higher and higher. She mumbled something, but he paid no mind to what it was, not really caring.

"Here. Let me help you with your play time." He said, pointing his wand to the tree. Even though he never said a word, he spells always worked. Strength of mind, of course.

When she looked down to see if he was following her due to the crinkling and rustling of leaves, she was met with something else. Fire. Oh yes, Jason had done it now. He set the tree a-flame with Angelina still in it.

"Rule number one. Never make yourself vunerable." Jason laughed, eagerly watching to see how she got herself out of this situation.[/color]

[angelinagomez]

Angelina dropped out of the flaming tree, a look of not hatred, but boredom on her face. "Is that honestly the best you can do? You think I'm afraid of fire?" she scoffed. With a simple flick of her wand, the flames were doused. "Let me tell you something Walker, I fear nothing. she hissed, stepping closer to him, forcing him back up against the tree. "I suggest you remember that."

She stepped back, a glare on her face. "Now, are you going to continue to be the asshole of the century, or are you actually going to make an attempt at intelligent conversation?" she asked with a smirk.

Not waiting for an answer she turned and walked off back towards her obstacle course, a flick of her wand, and it vanished. Then, she noticed the bottle of warm water he had tossed her and smiled sadistically. It was time for revenge. "Oh, and Jason?" she said in a sweet voice, turning around with a smile. "Thanks for the water. In fact," her eyes became hard and cold. "Why don't you take this as repayment!" she snapped, an ice cold stream of water jetting out of her wand and hitting Walker square in the face.

She gave a look of false shock and sorrow. "Oh, I'm sorry. Did I get you wet?" she asked in a mocking tone.

[Jason Walker]

"I suggest you remember that."

In poor attempts of Angelina to push him against the tree in 'fear', Jason remained unmoved and unimpressed as she pushed herself up against his chest. "I needn't remember anything, Angelina. Besides, I wasn't trying to 'scare' you, simply make your play time a bit less boring and more of a 'work out', as you put it." He said, waving her off.

"And intelligent conversation? The only thing I offer along with sarcasm, m'dear. And the occasional bottle of water. But then again, it's not my fault that one is so dense as to not take in appreciation my facts and advice. " The snake replied with a smirk and a simple shrug.

Jason then felt a stream of ice cold water hit his face, causing him to smile widely. The liquid had soaked the shoulders and collar of his shirt along with his hair. He ran his fingers through his hair, ruffling his up with a sigh of relief. "Thanks doll, it was getting a bit hot out here in the sun."

Running his fingers through his hair once more, he couldn' help but to brag a bit, "It's so hard to look this good, especially since I got wet. Then again.. I was just born with it." After his words left his mouth, he laughed at his own comment. Yeah, right!

[angelinagomez]

Angelina stood there, fighting off a smirk. Finally, instinct won over and she burst into laughter. "I was working out you dimwit! That's how I work out!" She rolled her eyes at his next commen. "Whoever said anything about you looking good?" she smirked. " A donkey's better looking than you!" she teased, eyes light and humorous.

She walked over to anothe tree, and pulled herself up into its branches, this time where she could keep and eye on Jason! She wouldn't take any more chances! "What brings you out here anyway?" she asked. It wasn't like she actually cared. She was just bored and desperate for conversation.

[Jason Walker]

"A very very handsome donkey, mind you." He replied with a smirk of his own.

"And working me out? that was nothing more than a pebble daintily tossed at me. My work outs are much more than play, mind you. Something you'd probably die completing." Jason said in a very serious tone. He was someone not to mess with, and she knew it.

What brought me out here? I thought I already told her.. "I told you. I thought I heard a pig squealing and I wanted to come see the sacrifice." The slytherin said in reply before stifling a laugh of his own. "And here I find you playing."

Jason's expression quickly turned into a frown once seeing her climb a second tree. "Now, what did we learn? I see rule number one didn't sink into your head." He said in a dim tone.

Instead of trying to damage the tree, Jason had something better in mind to teach her a lesson. The tree was perhaps.. 40 to 50 feet from tip to roots. Perfect. Pointing his wand at the tree and giving a slight 'swish', he casted a simple but effect charm. This had caused the tree to simply become banished and disappear, resulting in Angelina's long fall.

Hopefully that would teach her the rule that needed to be learned. The hard way.

[angelinagomez]

Angelina quirked a brow. "I'd rather sound like a pig than look like one. Or act like one." she stated, staring at Jason pointedly. She heaved a sigh of exasperation and rolled her eyes. "Let's just say you have your way of working out, and I have mine." she said simply. His next words flashed through her mind "I see rule number one didn't sink into your head." she barely had time to think What? before she was falling to the ground.

Angelina whipped out her wand and conjured up a matress, landing on it, she rolled and sprang to her feet. "You really need to work on your skills." she said sighing with boredom as she brushed dirt off her legs.

"Now, is it really so difficult for you to at least act like a civilized human being, or do you just enjoy driving me crazy?" she asked, glaring at the taller boy.

[Jason Walker]

"Civilized? Not at all." He replied, then sitting on the ground with his legs folded underneath him. He wasn't going to bother to refute any type of comments she made about him or his looks, only someone like him could really understand, so he wasn't about to go and waste his breath on someone who didn't.

Although, when Angelina summoned a mattress, he had to wince. She could have done better. A mattress wouldn't have supported her weight for that kind of fall. She would have hit it and sunk to the ground, bruising or possibly breaking her tailbone. Giving a sigh and a shrug, Jason merely shook the thought from his brain. Not everyone was going to be as smart as him, and he had to remember that. But, basic physics wasn't going to hurt anyone, was it? Actually, it probably would.

And work on his skills? He wasn't even going to go there. Don't even bother.. The snake thought to himself as he leaned back, resting his weight on his palms.

"Also. It's hard to drive someone crazy when they're already there." He added, the signature smirk playing on his lips.

[angelinagomez]

Angelina rolled her eyes in disgust. "God, you're an ass." she muttered, not caring if he heard or not. It might do some good actually, deflate his big head! She stood and stretched. "Now, would you please keep your mouth shut? I have to practice my martial arts and I need to able to concentrate." she said, all traces of joking gone. Martial arts was something that Angelina took very seriously!

She debated about changing into her uniform, and almost decided against it, when she remembered that she just so happened to be a black belt. Master status. She smirked to herself, maybe she would just to show him that she wasn't one to be messed with either! Unless of course Jason was also a black belt in Taekwondo. And oh yes, happened to be skilled in Kung Fu. Although Angelina was nowhere near to being a Kung Fu Master. That would take years!

Conjuring up another set of mats, she waved her wand and her tank and shorts were replaced by the loose white pants and white shirt of her uniform, black belt cinched tightly around her waist. She did have a different uniform for Kung Fu of course, but found it too much of a nuisance to change from one uniform to the other. Especially when it wasn't even a real match!

Standing on the mats barefoot, hair pulled up into a ponytail, she realised that she would need a sparring partner. She turned to Jason, "Would you happen to know any martial arts by any chance?" she asked, praying that he would give her a straight yes, or no answer, and leave off his smartass remarks. She wasn't in the mood for them.

[Jason Walker]

Never one to toot his own horn, Jason stood and nodded before walking towards her. He had only mastered two of the five martial arts he was trained in, but still was extremely skilled in them. Standing with a sigh and not bothering to assume any starting position or bowing, which was traditional, the Slytherin instead opted for standing there, seemingly off guard.

He had a pair of shorts and a semi-wet shirt on and knew that they wouldn't hinder him in any way so he didn't bother to change at all. Besides, he wasn't one to follow too many traditions, let alone care.

And so he stood, waiting a good few minutes for Angelina to prep herself for the challenge. With the occasional sigh and brushing of the hair out of his eyes, Jason stood with a bored expression.

"Well?"

[angelinagomez]

A slight smirk tugged at Angelina's lips as she nodded at Jason in a slight show of respect. A fellow martial artist. How nice. She walked towards the center of the mat, and stopped. She turned to face Jason. "You're offense. I'm defense. Then we switch." she stated.

Realizing that her uniform may be more hindrance than help, she held up a finger. "One moment." with yet another flick of her wand the uniform was gone, and the tank and shorts were back. "Alright, first things first. Rules. Rule One, no magic. At all. Rule Two, no cheating. And I think you know what I mean by that." she said with a stern, pointed look. The look softened only slightly. "Good luck. Begin."

She stood in a slight crouch, tensed, eyes alert, watchful for his first move. If she was fast enough, she should be able to block his attacks.

[Jason Walker]

Jason wasn't about to go into the whole 'ladies first' schpeal, thinking it would take too much time. They were here for sparring, were they not? If so, he needn't be gentlemen like, seeing as they were equals in the match.

Bouncing slightly on the balls of his toes, he nodded in agreement. "Deal." Other than the occasional bounce, Jason remained motionless, eyeing out and detecting her weakness. He had his thoughs and ideas on how to approach before grinning. Got it.

Charging forward, Jasons smirk never faded. Once reaching within a few feet of Angelina, he lept up and outwards toward her, his knee aiming for her chest and head. She will NOT be able to block this one.. Once she was going to block his simple assault, he put out his elbow and thrust downwards, only then extending his arm out. At the end of his arm was a balled fist, hard as a rock.

She won't be able to get out of that for the life of her. He thought while landing. And if she does.. Jason crouched and then swung a low kick, sweep for her ankles and feet.[/color]

[angelinagomez]

Angelina managed to block the punch, but not the kick. It caught her just above the ankle, throwing her off balance. Her body fell back, and would have hit the ground had she not placed her hands behind her and sprang off them into a backflip of sorts. She landed in a crouch. "Okay, I was definitely not expecting that." she admitted, slightly breathless. "Nice move." she said, "You've definitely got skill."

She stood, knees slightly bent, arms up in a defensive manner as she slowly circled Jason. Making sure to keep her eyes on him at all times. She wouldn't make the mistake of just standing there again.

"How many martial arts do you do anyway?" she asked as she awaited his next attack. She had to admit, after seeing and feeling what she just had, she had a newfound respect for her fellow Slytherin. Maybe he wasn't just some idiotic boy after all.
