Chapter 14
I nodded, I was very nervous, "Alright, let's start."
Bane said, "From weakest to strongest."
My friends lined up, Mark, Shane, William, and then me.
Bane's friends lined up, Abe, James, Arik, and then Bane.
I cleared my throat, "So who will count down?"
Bane shrugged, looking like he didn't care, "You could count them off if you want."
I asked, "Are you guys ready?" Mark and Abe nodded.
Looking at Mark and Abe, I asked, "Okay, you guys know the rules right?" Mark and Abe nodded again, "Okay, 1 2 3 fight!"
Mark and Abe lunged at each other, Mark threw a punch, Abe ducked under it and punched Mark in the ribs. Mark grunted, Abe threw another punch, Mark ducked out of the way, kicking out his leg, he caught Abe's leg which made him lose balance. Mark punched Abe's chest twice, thud, Abe had lost balance and landed on his butt.
I declared, "Mark is the winner!"
Abe got up from the ground with a scowl on his face, he reached out a hand to Mark, "Good match, man."
Mark smiled, "Yeah, man." He grabbed Abe's hand and shook it.
I asked William, "Why do we need 4 people? Why can't the just Captains fight?"
William shrugged, "To test how strong the clubs are, I guess."
Shane and James were next.
They walked up to each other, giving each other a dude nod.
I said, "You guys know the rules, 1 2 3 fight!"
Ever fight was very intense and quick, Shane won against James, William won against Arik. James and Arik were both very good at fighting, expeditious, strong, and belligerent while fighting.
Now it was Bane and my turn to fight.
William walked up, "I'll count down for you guys if you want."
Bane shrugged, "Sure, it doesn't matter who counts down."
William shrugged, "Okay, 1 2 3 fight!"
Bane grinned, "I'll give you a free shot, I won't punch back."
I stared at him for a split second before going for his legs, I swiped tried to swipe them under him as quickly as I could, but he just jumped out of the way with a laugh.
Smirking he said, "Is that all you got, ha, this is gonna be easy."
He lunged forward, crap he was quick, I ducked, he grazed the top of my head, crap, I kick his legs, he swung them out of the way just in time, I swung at his stomach, he wasn't fast enough and I landed a hard blow, he grunted, clenching his stomach muscles, he swung his fist at my chest, oh no, don't hit there, my breasts are there, crap, I yanked myself out of the way in time for him to miss my breast, his fist grazed my ribs. I took the opportunity to punch his stomach again, which seemed like his weak spot, other than the obvious one that is. He flinched, I slammed another hit into his side, he kicked his foot into the back of my heel, I lost a little balance. He saw an opening and punched my stomach, I groaned and kicked his legs again, then punched his as hard as I could, he dodged the kick, but couldn't get out of the way of the punch, I punched him again, just as he kicked my legs. Crap, I tried to dodge the kick and instead it hit the side of my calf, ow, I winced a little, that's going to bruise.
He was smirking, which meant he was getting cocky. I let him hit me a couple of times, it hurt, but by letting him think he was getting the best of me, he wouldn't fight as hard.
He another threw a punch, I ducked under it and punched him as many times, and as hard and fast as I could in the stomach and before he could react, I kicked his heel as hard as I could, he lost a little bit of his balance, so I punched his chest until he lost more of his balance, he threw a sloppy punch, which I easily dodged, I kicked him again, thud, he had fallen, landing on his back.
We were both out of breath, I offered him a hand up, he grabbed it.
He sighed, "I guess I got a little too cocky."
I grinned, "Yeah, you did, anyway, good fight, dude."
He nodded, "Yeah, it was a good fight."
William declared, "Adam is the winner and we are now the number 3 school."
Adam sighed, "Finally, Avery, can we leave now? Shane is annoying me."
Shane glared, "I'm not annoying."
Adam sighed, "Whatever you say, Shane. Come on, Avery, let's go, I'm bored and I wanna go home."
Sigh, "Alright let's go, goodbye Bane, Arik, James, and Abe."
I rode with William again, he drove me to the apartment, everybody, for some reason was at the front door, William and I parked.
We walked up to the front door, I asked, "Why is everyone here?"
Adam shrugged, "Shane suggested we all come to our apartment, so here we are." He opened the door and stepped inside.
Spreading his arms, Adam announced, "Welcome to our home, I'm going to go order food, give me a second."
Adam called for food and 25 minutes later it was here, we all dug in.
All the food was gone in less than 5 minutes and Adam had ordered enough food for an army.
I stared at them in horror and curiosity, "H-h-how? Avery ordered like 15 takeouts."
They all shrugged, while Shane said, "The question is, how can you not?"
Then for some reason, Shane asked, "Hey, can we look around your room, Adam?"
I mentally went through my room, confirming that nothing in there would give me away as a girl, I nodded, "Sure, go ahead."
Shane made his way to my room, "Which one is it?"
I answered, "The one next to Avery's."
Shane sighed, "How very helpful."
He opened Adam's door, "Uhh, not this one, then." He opens my door, "Ah, this is the one." He looked around, "Dude, it's so clean in here."
They all looked around my room.
Mark asked, "You don't have any family photos?"
I froze, Adam came to my rescue, "Adam doesn't like to put stuff on his walls, he likes it clean and boring, right brother?"
Nodding meekly, "Yeah, very clean and very boring. Just the way I like it"
They after a few more minutes of looking around my room, an hour or so more of talking and relaxing with each other, they left.
It was 8:49 now, I took a shower, brushed my teeth, and said good night to Adam, then I laid in bed reading for 3 hours. I fell quickly asleep after turning off the lights.
And thus, ended my first school challenge and my day.
