She is a badass

Chapter 7

*** Jayden’s POV ***

*

I am sitting in the cafeteria with the guys because it’s lunchtime and we are talking about that girl who I can’t seem to get out of my head. I didn’t want to send Abigail to teach her a lesson, but she gave me no other choice. She is insolent and she needs to know where her place is in this school and since I don’t hit women, I asked Abigail to do the job. It’s useful that she came to learn in this school after all, I hope she will go easy on her as I told her to do so, she just needs to scare her, maybe a few bruises, but that’s all.

“I can’t wait to see her face covered in bruises.” Liam says while he stabs the meat on his plate with his fork furiously. His arm is now in a cast. I flinch from the thought of her ruined beautiful face and I become anxious. I don’t know why that girl has this effect on me, maybe because she is the only one who didn’t throw herself at me yet and instead she threatened me to beat the sh*t out of me if I don’t leave her alone. I chuckle loudly when I recall that conversation between us earlier.

“What’s so funny Jay?” Oliver asks and I stop smiling and clear my throat right away.

“Nothing, why she is taking so long?” I ask and look at my watch. The bell rang already 15 minutes ago and I look across the cafeteria to see that friend of hers is waiting for her still too.

“I don’t know, but the longer it takes , the more she will regret it.” Liam says proudly and the guys just nod along with him and I look at him suspiciously.

“Why are you so anxious Jay?” Jordan asks and all of them are looking at me now. They know me so well , because we are best friends already for years after all, but I don´t want them to pick up on my nervousness and I don´t want them to figure out my liking towards that girl.

“Liam, why didn’t you let it go when she said she won’t park somewhere else. It’s her first day here, how she should have know it’s your spot?” I ask him and they all look at me strangely. “I mean you could have avoided that.” I add and point towards his broken arm. I know him and I know that he doesn´t like to lose fights or arguments against anyone.

“Are you defending her now?” Liam asks with a suspicious look and places his fork next to his plate to glare at me while he is waiting for my answer.

“No, I am not, I just know you, but... just forget it.” I say while I lift my hands in surrender, I don´t want to argue with him on this because I know him too well. I turn my head towards the door to see her walking in with a smile on her face without any bruises or red marks and sits next to her friend or boyfriend, I don’t know. The thought of him being her boyfriend cause an uncomfortable feeling in my stomach for some reason.

“She doesn’t seem to be in pain.” Oliver says with his mouth full with pasta. I let out a sigh of relief from the sight of her totally fine, but then I frown. Where is Abigail and what’s going on?

“Maybe Abigail didn’t find her yet.” Jordan said with a shrug and continue to eat his food.

“Yeah, maybe she will catch her after school.” Liam says with a nod and a hopefull expression on his face and I look at her to find her already looking at me with a smirk on her face while she shakes her head. I narrow my eyes at her and turn towards the guys.

“I thinks she was the winner, that’s why Abigail didn’t show up yet.” I say and I feel kind of proud of her for a moment. The guys all look at me frozen, then they burst out laughing after a few seconds like I said the most funny thing in the world. “Stop laughing idiots, she was way too confident when I talked to her earlier, she wasn’t afraid of me. Actually she wanted to fight me.” I say with a smile when I remember and they look at me with open mouth.

“What? She wanted to fight YOU?” Oliver asks in disbelief and I nod still smiling.

“What are you smiling about? Do you like her?” Jordan asks teasingly and I throw him a warning look because he is right but I don´t want them to know that just yet.

“Stop with your nonsense, I just remembered something funny, now let’s find Abigail to ask her what happened.” I say and they nod. We stand up to find Abigail and I look at that girl one last time before we leave the cafeteria. She turns to me with a blank expression on her face and salute at me like the soldiers do to their commander. I frown at her then she smirks at me again. ‘Who is this girl?’

“She said she will follow her to the washroom, let’s go there first and we will see from there.” I say and they look at me with a sceptical frown on their faces but they follow me quietly anyway. We are already close when we hear some noises coming from the girls washroom. Someone is groaning and cursing so I look around first to check if someone is around, but everybody is having their lunch by now so I push the door open to see Abigail on the floor, trying to get up. Jordan and Oliver rush to her side and help her stand up.

“What happened?” I ask her with a tone without any emotions. I don´t know why but for some reason I don´t feel bad for her, not even a bit. 

“You didn’t tell me that b**ch is a fighter, I couldn’t even hit her, not even once, she was too fast, like she expected all my moves.” She says furiously while spits some blood into one of the toilets after geting up with the hepl of the guys.

“What?” Liam asks with a surprised expression on his face and Jordan and Oliver look at me questioningly too.

“Ha... I told you.” I say to the guys smugly and Abigail throws an angry look in my direction. Her face was red from the beating what she got from that girl and I am sure it will turn blue in a few days. She is groaning and holding her side with a painful expression.

“I think she broke my ribs.” She says and the guys help her to walk to the nurse. I hope Liam will let it go after this because I don’t want anyone else to get hurt, especially not that girl. She looks so fragile but what she did to Abigail is a bit unbelievable.

“Guys, just go with her, I will attend my last class and I need to go to ‘Hell’ after that, I have a fight today. See you at home.” I tell them and turn to walk away, without waiting for their reply.

After school I am happily walking towards my car and get in. Jordan and Oliver will go home with Liam. He used to come to fight too, but with a broken arm it will be difficult.

I drive to an underground place called ‘Hell’ where I used to go to fight last year. I hope they have some talented fighters at this time who will be a challenge to fight against.

I park my car in the front of the building and get out.

“Skull, welcome back man.” Joe, the guard said with a wide grin. I am sure he is happy to see me since he won a lot of money on me already.

“Good to be back, Joe. Anyone new?” I ask and he nod with a smirk.

“Yeah a few, check them out.” He says and let me inside with a pat on my back.

“I will, thanks.” Nobody knows my name here, actually nobody knows each other’s name, everybody is going with nicknames and mine is ‘black skull’. I don’t really care about those things though, Liam chose this one for me because they wanted me to choose one.

I walk into the man changing rooms and change into my fighting clothes and prepare myself for the fight. I have still more than half an hour so I decide to sit on the bench and watch the current fight. Two woman is about to start their first round. They are just dancing around when one of them in black beckons to the other one in red. The red one swings her left arm but the black one easily blocks it with her.... leg? She is very fast and she has unique moves. She could have block it with her arm like any other fighters would because that’s the fastest move to block a hit but she just blocked it with her leg and with the same dynamism she kicks her twice on the side of her head skillfully and the woman in red clothes falls to the ground unconsciously. The audience roar up after the 10 seconds silence while the judge counted. She won in the first ten seconds of the first round, KO, unbelievable. The judge then walks towards her and lift her arm up.

“KO, ladies and gentlemen. Just in ten seconds, unbelievable.... The winner is .... Amazon.” He announces loudly and the audience roar up even louder. I am clapping too, I would like to see more of her moves. I look at her to find her kind of familiar. I walk closer fast to see her face but I don’t see her anywhere anymore. I head towards the changing rooms and when I want to turn by the corner of the corridor, someone run into me.

“Ouch.” She lets out a yelp and I hold her up before she could fall. She rubs her noise what she hit into my hard chest and then we look at each other.

“You?” We ask at the same time with wide eyes and my face mirrors her surprised one. I look at her clothes to see her in a black sport top and black shorts. ‘Wait, that´s not possible.´
