The class was just about to start.

I got ready.

I took my big beige sweater off,

Revealing my stark white gi underneath.

I had one toe on the mat,

And then I saw who was teaching it today.

In one motion, I swooped my bulky sweater 

Back over my bare pink arms,

And side-skipped excitedly across the mat,

Back into the dressing room.

I will do my own version of a workout

In here, where no one can see me.
