I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 6

Bonnie began to shadowbox with awe–inspiring precision and fluidity.

She ended by punching a tree branch, managing to break it without disturbing the leaves.

Everyone was shocked.

Scott’s jaw dropped open.

They looked at Bonnie as if they had seen a monster.

“Did you get a good look?”

Bonnie stopped and looked at Orson.

The old man was impressed.

“Your moves were perfect! You must be a kickboxing expert.”

Scott cleared his throat and approached her, blushing.

“Young lady–uh, ma’am, I’m sorry if I offended you.”

Bonnie chuckled. “I’m not an expert. I just learned kickboxing to stay healthy.”

“Can you teach me some of your moves?”

“I’d like to learn too!”

Bonnie was soon surrounded by the old men, all eager to learn from her.

At that moment, a voice said, “She’s just a phony.”

Bonnie looked toward the source.

A young woman who looked to be around 18 or 19 walked over. She was of average height, and a burly man almost two meters tall followed behind her.
