Tonight was another one of Ivan's infamous bootcamps. My usual partner was there and while we were stretching I decided to pinch him. (don't ask me why but I did.) It basically started with the thought in my mind that I would be able to beat him just this once.
It's so annoying. He always wins! Whenever we have some kind of debate he's usually right. If we get into some lame pinching war he always wins so, today I was determined to beat his ass! Anyway, there we were stretching when I snuck a pinch attack. Not to my surprise his quick hands attacked right back. I felt 2 sharp painful pinches, the first on my left arm then quickly he moved on to the right.
Now, as some of you may know I bruise like a peach. I'm not exaggerating when I say that either. Sometimes you can just think about pinching me and I bruise it's absolutely insane how fast I bruise. With that said, 30 seconds after he pinched me with his claws I saw my poor arm beginning to form a purple spot with welts. I couldn't believe my eyes. At first I was focusing on the pain when seconds later I was focusing on the fact that this thing was already purple. I swear he got nerve or something. Then I had to endure bootcamp with this throbbing arm.
In between different exercises I would look at my arm to see how the bruise was progressing he would then look at it too and I could tell that he felt bad and didn't mean to pinch that hard.
It's not a big deal, I'm sure the bruises will go away in a week or so only for me to get another one.
You think I learned my lesson by now but I'm determined to have one victory. Just one!

This one stung when it happened.
