Both of them stared at each other without any expression . " Hey mike ?? are you there ??? tell her not to ignore me!!!!" the Blondie cried
"Get of me Zack " with this mike threw Zack somewhere in the corner. As he walked towards lia.
"soo you are here to box ??? today ?? on Sunday?? while all the girls are off to malls and beaches I guess ...."
"what do you want to say??" lia asked with irritation laced in her voice .
"oh nothing just ..... was curious on few things like how did you learned boxing??? since I have heard that you beat the crap out of hoi " mike said , as well as he moved towards the ring , stepping inside , he stood against lia with a challenging look .
" can you defeat me?? "
lia stared at the lean boy who had a perfect figure . bah! he was nothing in front of lia , she had defeated the underground boxing champion Valdez who was a very tall , heavy and bulky man whom lia threw off from the ring at the age of 14.
The so called boy who challenged her was nothing just an ant she can throw out of the rings easily.
"And why would I do that ??"
"I can fulfill any of your wishes "
"oh really?? are you a god ??"
"Maybe not , but here at Kingston ? maybe I am "
" I can ask any thing if I win? "
" yep and I can also ask you anything "
Zack looked at the match that was going on between Lia and mike . He was amazed at the girl's guts and stern look .
Maybe they were made for each other .
grinning like a child he ran towards the rings "oh oh!! I will be the umpire!!"
lia looked at the super excited boy who was jumping and crying to be the umpire she then looked towards mike
"okay "
"yayyyy let the fight begin !!" Zack rang the bell.
Ting !
they both stared each other while circling around . Lia brought her anger from all the previous episode and this time she won't feel pity for the opponent in front of her .
" Ladies first " mike smirked
"sure , but I don't see any lady here but no problem I will start" . with this lia landed her punch.
mike easily dodged her attack . lia became more furious, she went for his abdomen but he jumped sideways . All lia did was attack but the opponent did nothing instead of defending himself .
Zack was not just surprised, he felt like he was watching two aliens boxing . He had never seen mike in defense mode . And he has never see a girl in offense mode . 'does she even know whom she is fighting with??'
certainly not .
lia went ballistic for first time when she saw some one easily defending himself . She was running out of the energy too.
but for some reason she was enjoying this match .
"Why aren't you attacking" lia hissed
" so do you accept defeat ??"
"No way "
" But your slightly slow punch says different story "
lia hesitated yes she was feeling tired by all of this plus he won't ask for any bad thing
will he??
"fine I accept my defeat but only because I was tired " lia lost for first time in 2years
She wondered how will her coach react when she tell him about this, back home .
mike smirked and stared at her like a mouse trapped in a mouse cage .
"Well... I have heard that the winter ball is coming and as you know that the ball requires a female partner soo I just want you to accompany me that's it " mike recited his lines which, he wanted to speak since the day he meet her .
"What's a winter ball ??" lia asked without any expression .
Zack's eyes widen ' is she crazy? every girl knows about this ' he was kind off confused , and looked towards Mike ' he never came to pick me up , nor he came here after classes ... then why the hell he ran till here to pick me up??'
poor Zack.
meanwhile mike had a calm expression " well I hope you can ask around and since I won thus you have no option to say no " flashing a smile he walked towards Zack to drag him out .
"Wait ... did you came here for me???" Zack asked while being dragged out .
"no " mike replied as he looked back at the confused lia who was just staring at her gloves.
.....
"Where were you I searched for you nearly every where " Arran yelled at lia who was looking at her closet .
"was out to clear my mind "
"well can I ask you something " Arran asked while looking around her closet
lia sighed , of course she will ask about today's scandal .
"what do want to ask ??"
"oh just one thing .... why you don't have any feminine clothes other than school uniform???"
lia frowned ..." I have cloths "
"no you don't, your cloths basically contains boxers , hoodie , long shirts I even don't know that they are feminine even 1 percent..."
"soo what do you want to say??" lia was confused and eager to change the topic.
Arran jumped and clapped her hand " that's it we will take a holiday tomorrow and go for shoppingggg"
lia stared at Arran for good 2 minutes .
The atmosphere became awkward
"well.... um are you not comfortable in shopping ... I am totally fine with that"
lia suddenly jumped and hugged her . She never had any friend except Rita who took care of her . Rita never discussed any girl talk with her though but she always supported her through tough times . Lia silently thanked Arran for sticking with her even when she tried to remove and ignore her.
"um what was that for ??" Arran asked .while lia sat on her bed again .
"nothing "
"oh... okay "
"oh , can you tell me what's winter ball??"
suddenly Arran's eyes widen
"oh holy mother of all the gods !!!!!! I forgot this witchy ball!!" Arran yelled .
"witchy ball , does this ball involves witches ??" lia asked.
" oh its hell !!! you just imagine a place which is verryyy big , let's just call it as the place where witches meet once a year dressed up in that terrifying big gown that is basically used to mop the floor because it is so big!!. The witches usually come with a companion who acts like 90s gentleman even though he is not a gentleman !!! he will kiss the witch's hand leaving all that germs ....yuck !! And the worst part !! they dance like 80s !!! they swing around the floor with that slow song !!! even a snail will walk faster than the song! and then the witches will talk about the new tactics to get a boy especially that long guyl. They won't even taste the food that's in front of them ! then why the hell food is even served there ?? if you give it too the poor's it will be more beneficial ..... oh am straying of the topic ..... then the witches will use their all knowledge and spells to seduce the so called gentleman in front of her and what happens next ?? voilà!!! you can hear those disgusting sounds coming from the bathrooms, the balconies , even janitors closet !!! and if someone has a little bit of patience they will sneek out towards their room .....and what do the rest of us do? NOTHING!!! WE CANT DANCE EVEN FREELY !!!! THAT WHAT WE CALL THE SO CALLED FUCKIN WINTER BALL" Arran ranted , she was fuming with anger .
all lia could do was stare at the poor girl .
" and it's compulsory to go ..... so we have to buy a fuckin ball gown " Arran poke with saddened voice .
"okay " was something , all lia could say .
because she was still confused.
What the hell is WINTER BALL??
