"good morning class I am your economics teacher and you can call me Ms Green. And I hope that you will do your work and ...won't be late in the class " Ms green said glaring at lia and a girl next to her "So well you two girls can I ask you where were you ..." she checked her watch " past 10 minutes?? " the hall was silent with students sitting as stiff as they could be.
Lia couldn't say anything ... how can she say that she was awake all the night thinking when the guards will come to throw her out , But?? nothing happened !!! she crashed the bed at 5 am and woke up at 8:50 am due to lot of hussel bustle and to her horrors!! she didn't even took a bath on the first day of the school she just hastily wore school dress and shoes. Now she looked around she could see boys and girls in their best look .
The girl next to her snorted " I was late because of this goddamn admission process " the girl was wearing her school dress but her makeup and accessories was all black which made her look more intimidating.
Ms Green stared her for a bit fear evident in her eyes , she quickly moved towards lia "and you miss??" lia gulped of course she can't shout that she was late because of some fantasy that kept her awake.
looking at the teacher she said " I couldn't find the class room" the whole class laughed because anyone who can read will be able to fine the classroom with economics written . Obviously teacher didn't buy it but she allowed them to attend the class . Both the girls went to sit at the back of the hall.
The girl next to her turned "you haven't slept right??"
lia looked back at her in shock how did she found out? "no " she muttered
" name is Aaran , aaran rong .... what's yours?"
"lia "
"only lia ??"
"lia xi" to this aaran laughed
"dude you don't know me ?? I mean like everyone knows me or my family....."
lia stared at her face frowning rong?? she have heard that name wait.....
THE RONGS !!!!!!
lia's eye widen rongs were the one of the most powerful family in whole Asia having a control over military they were known as the most respected families .
she looked at the girl next to her " H-H -Hi miss rong "
"come on we are classmates don't call me miss!!, and besides, I am gonna stick with you because you are ,actually the only female who didn't stick with me " beaming she turned her head back towards MS Green .
lia cried mentally ' why she have to stick with rongs?? especially aaran rong who are the most temperamental of all ??"
to her surprise class ended early , Next was her favorite,..... BOXING.
"So lia what's your next class??"
"boxing"
"damn it's an amazing sport but sadly I do it everyday so I had to choose something else well wait for me at lunch save me a seat !" aaran practically skipped towards her next class.
looks like what she heard about aaran rong was false after all .
_______
"COME ON I NEED MORE BRUTAL PUNCH !!!!" a male voice boomed which lia presumed that he was the teacher .
Sighing she opened the door that gave her an amazing view of half naked male bodies and a very huge place with many rings where people were training.
The women with heavy make up was true after all...
There was no girl present.
"Hey you!! , young lady have you lost your way ??" a man with whistle she presumed teacher , asked .
Boys laughed , some blew whistle while others hooted
"SILENCE!!" Teacher acted like he was a strict one but the way he presented his strictness was nothing near being strict .
"No sir I am in the right class I have taken boxing" teacher looked like he just witnessed god he beamed at her and slapped her back , hard and shouted "That's the sprit!!! girls are now getting wiser everyone should choose boxing!! great choice lad ,eh what's your name ??"
"lia "
"LIA!!! HA HA HA THAT'S GREAT WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF BOXING BTW CAN YOU LIFT THE GLOVES , IS IT TOO HEAVY FOR A FRAGILE GIRL LIKE YOU??" teacher asked genuinely
while whole class howled and whistled .
**
"CAN YOU TAKE THE PUNCHES AND BLOWS LIA??" A bulky bald man asked her
"I -I can try " an 12 yr old girl shuttered .
" boxing is not just about punching the person next to you . its about channeling all your anger frustration and fear in that single punch and that single punch should be the winning punch " the man around 34 yrs said .
"Lia I know your condition , but i f you want to survive this world then first survive that broken mind of yours . You one of us , but you are not at same level like we all are . " he said in a gentle tone .
He was Ron who was an underground fighter who organized fights which were illegal, but to lia he was a father figure , who taught her how to survive the so called life
"We are broken we all are damaged, but can you keep all the anger inside you ?? can you hold on all those frustration which haunt you ?? . No one can .... and if lia you are ready for all of this .Then you have to be ready for the physical pain and mental satisfaction , you have to be ready for the broken bones and those bruises , you have to be ready for the time of your life . And I ask you again girl , ARE YOU READY FOR THIS ???!!"
The 11 year old , lia with brown hair , fair skin and fragile body had a different spark in her eyes she stared at the ring with those cold eyes and said " I accept this , all of it "
days passed months passed and years passed Lia became a well known female figure in the underground boxing but under a different name , LIGHT KANE her second name through which she fought ruthlessly she remained unbeaten for last 2 years .
she fought with knives , guns , fist , gloves which leaded in deep scars and pain ,
but it was nothing compared in front if the mental satisfaction she got .
Her nightmares lessened , she began to excel in the school , people started to notice her but she cornered herself from the strange word called friendship .
****
Lia clenched her jaws "BRING IT ON COACH , BRING OUT YOUR BEST PEOPLE LETS SEE IF A GIRL CAN FIGHT OR NOT. " lia spoke with a creepy calm tone laced with rage and anger .
