I ducked my head in vain. A crumpled up piece of paper flew and hit my temple. I could feel myself growing irritated. This had been going on the whole day and I don’t think I can withstand it anymore without kicking someone for it.Thank God it’s Friday or I wouldn’t have anything to be happy about and feel pathetic, taking it out on one of these jerk-faces and reveal my identity by knocking him out with one punch.If it wasn’t for the fact that my street fighting is an illegal type of street fighting, I would’ve lashed out on every single bitch that throws me a crumpled paper, which will probably take a long time considering the amount of crumpled papers that has abused my forehead and temples today.I grumbled out a curse, glaring at my table with a heated stare, willing it to come alive and eat the stupid, annoying baboons.What the fuck did I ever do to them? I thought in frustration and gritted my teeth. They&rs
I cut off the engine with a flick of my hand and slid the key out of the ignition before hauling my ass off the bike and hitched the helmet on its hook.I adjusted the duffel bag and took my phone out to call Levy but his voice halted my finger from pressing the call button.I turned to face Levy and squinted when I saw a few minor bruises on his face as he approached me in a hurry. I could see the scars from the fight 2 nights ago but some were actually fresh.“There you are! Dammit, Pix. I told you to be here at 9. What the hell took you so long?” He ranted off, taking my wrist and dragged me along to the familiar path we took before my first fight here.I rolled my eyes at his overdramatic greeting. “Well hello to you too, Mr. Cranky-Pants,” I smiled sweetly at him while he shot me a brief glare and continued dragging me inside the building. Two minutes was barely counted as late.This time, there weren’t any str
“For the love of God, where on are Earth are you taking me?” I huffed out in exasperation, earning a booming laugh from Adam.“Calm down, Case. We’ve only been in this car for 10 minutes.” It’s true. But when you’re being chewed on by the suspense and curiosity, 10 minutes feels like an eternity.“Goddamit, just tell me already!” I threw up my hands in frustration and Adam chuckled once more. I know I’m acting like a brat but when your genes contained impatient and stubborn qualities, it was kind of impossible to sit quietly.“Now where’s the fun in that?” He teased and I glared jokingly at him, causing him to raise his hands in mock surrender. I cracked a smile.“There it is!” Adam exclaimed when the smile made an appearance, startling me. The smile grew a teeny bit bigger at his stupid antics, suppressing a silent laugh.“Shut up,” I playfully
The cold prickled my skin and I tilted my head and gazed at the sky. A lone star twinkled and the sky turned a darker shade of blue, the clouds started to darken and blended into the night.It was 6 and I would be lying if I said that I regretted what I did just a moment ago. I stared back at the small fancy restaurant. The food tasted bland anyway and the atmosphere in there was so bleak and sophisticated, I could’ve hurled myself.Not to mention the level of idiocy that short and chubby manager has. Fucking idiots roaming the Earth and contaminating the human race with their low IQ.At least we had a good time in the ring before hitting this place.“How about some McDonald’s huh? You seem like you could do with some food in your system after all that bickering and yelling in there.” Adam offered his jacket and I shook my head even though my knees were quiver lightly at the cold.Dammit, Mother Nature! Are you trying to
There are a lot of things in this world that can get your heart racing.The thrill of a roller coaster ride.An adrenaline to fight.Meeting up with your crush.When reality slaps you in the face and you realize that you’re about to die.Getting dragged around by a chimpanzee holding on to your foot.But at that moment, I made a newfound discovery and added something on the bottom of that list.Your date meeting your opponent from a fight that he forbade you to take any part of and possibly figuring out that you are fighting for the money to help him with his mother’s medications.FML.“Who. The. Fuck. Are. You.” Adam gritted out once again, already on his feet and a step behind me.The guy smirked at him. “Oh, does the little fighter have a boyfriend?”I anxiously watched them glare at each other, switching my stare back and forth between them.“Well, this boyfriend is going to kick your ass if y
I wrenched my arm away as Adam tried to hold me back.Oh hell no. I just found out that the man I didn’t beat to a pulp the previous night killed my brother and almost ended my life in the process.Ain’t no asshole going to hold me back.Fuck this shit.I swiveled away from Adam and turned towards the guy. Someone’s dying tonight.When I was finally a couple of feet away from him, I could finally see how his eyes blazed with anger as if I have somehow offended him. I stared into the depth of his eyes, willing him to try and taunt me one more time.“What are you trying to say?” I managed to spit out whilst holding myself back on punching him. By now, it was a miracle that I haven’t pummeled him in.“I am the truck driver, you foolish bitch.” He snarled and although I expected the answer, it didn’t faze to throw me aback my knees buckling a little. But this doesn’t make sense. All of th
I sipped on the hot chocolate, staring on the bottom part of the wall, letting my eye muscles relax and focus on nothing in particular. The heat of the drink seeped through the ceramic glass and onto my fingers causing me to sigh in exhaustion, untangling one hand from the mug and raising it to my face to try and rub all of it away.After the last two sleepless nights I had, sleep was catching up on me but I promised Adam that I would go accompany him to visit Carla who was still in the hospital since her vitals weren’t showing any signs of improvements. Her doctors suggested that the Jones family to let her stay for some nights to be supervised.Sleep wasn’t an option after what happened three days ago. It didn’t help that I had another fight coming up tomorrow. I looked at the clock that was hung on top of the wall across me and watched the seconds pass by, letting the light tick of it soothe me.Tick. Tock.Tick.Tock.I
His eyes stared at me so intensely that he’s probably leaving a hole on my face. I gulped nervously at the sight of that look. This was not going to end well.“Okay, what do you want to know about?”“Those guys, three nights ago, they seemed to know you and you seemed to have recognized them.”A look from him and I knew he suspected something that I’m not ready to tell him yet. I didn’t want to share it with him because I knew he would make me stop fighting and stop accepting the money. I kept his gaze even though all I wanted to do was cower away from his stare and avoided his eyes. It was as if he could see right through me and in that flitting second, I felt truly vulnerable.I forced my eyes to remain neutral. Not expressionless enough for him to suspect something and not hard enough to tip him off that I was hiding something from him.The last thing I wanted him to do was stop accepting that money a
