The Karate Girl's Red Notebook

We practiced kata together, we were perfectly synchronized. 

I stood behind Raul (hair laden with fruit, shoulders of stone), but when we turned, I was in front, with my back to him. We breathed as one and our feet crawled across the floor like crocodiles. We were the perfect movement, the perfect form, the perfect substance (and now he came closer and I began to feel his breath on my neck... -> no vampires in this story). 

My big dream is to be a black belt (and to kiss Raul).
