John arrived at the gym relatively early, and made his way back to the locker room with his bag, and returned with his working out clothes on. He then headed out to the punching bag, and began whailing on it. He wasn't practicing technique, he was just punching and punching, hoping to get the last night off of his mind.

Ami and her grandfather Hiroshi soon arrived at the gym. It was getting difficult for them to train in private at home. Ami's parents were growing suspicious.
The manager saw them and smiled, walking over to them. "Ami, Hiroshi, good to see you again."
The old man nodded. "Thank you. Just taking Ami out for some more training. And to get away from my paranoid son," he said with a warm chuckle. "Honestly, he worries more than his mother did. Anyway, let's start at the punching bags, Ami."

John continued completely beating the crap out of the bags, oblivious to that Ami and her grandfather were there. He wasn't paying attention to anyone or anything but the punching bag, and his thoughts.
(This won't make sense unless you read John's Room, I assume you have/did/will?)

(Yeah)
Ami then began punching a nearby bag as well, unaware that John was there. But if he spoke, she would then know.

John soon had to take a short break, and sat down on a nearby bench. "All this is doing is making me tired, not helping at all.." He mumbled to himself.

Ami then heard him, and stopped punching the bag as she walked over towards him. "Hey John," she said.

John's head popped up as he saw Ami approaching. "Oh, um, uh... hi.." He said, a bit of nervousness carrying in his voice.

"Are you OK? You sound nervous," Ami said.

"Huh? Oh, No... I'm fine..." John said, though, the nervousness in his voice only got worse.

"OK. Well, anyway. This is my grandfather," Ami said as Hiroshi approached, following their voices. "Grandfather, this is my friend John."
"Its a pleasure to meet you, John," the old man said.

"Uh, it's nice to meet you, too." John said, his voice becoming slightly less nervous, since his attention was off Ami, at least for the moment.

"We just came to train a bit more. My parents are getting suspicious," Ami said. "But this is a good place to train. I take it you're training too?"

"Um... yeah..." John said, becoming nervous once again. "Always need to train, so I can be a better fighter!" He said, with a nervous laugh afterwards.

"You sound nervous," the old man said. He then smirked. "I bet I know why. I think I'll leave you too alone now." He then walked away.
"That was odd. Well, there's nothing to be nervous about, is there?" Ami asked.
