What's next?
Wait until you're in better shape
You look at the black girl's toned body. She's sweating but she doesn't look like she's breathing hard at all. And you've been around enough jocks to know that what she calls a cool-down, you'd call an excessive heart attack waiting to happen.
"I appreciate the offer," you say. "But I'm just not in good enough shape yet."
"Okay," she says. "Your loss."
Yeah, it is. She gives you a smile, then turns and jogs away.
You were right, though. She's running way faster than you could manage. You wouldn't have lasted ten steps at that pace.
Still, you can't help wonder if it was your shyness rather than common sense that took over then.
What should you do with the rest of your day?
