me but I quickly back out. My opponent focused too much on my location and she didn’t saw my right hook coming her way. She shook off after my shot and refocused on me. She tries to strike again but she misses. I use this occasion to blow two fast strikes on her stomach. She escapes from the corner and punch me right under my left eye. Bitch. I touch my skin through the gloves, and I can tell that it would be a nasty thing. I’m furious. I came here to win, so let’s dance baby. I motion for her to come closer. She studies me and she swings to hit me from the right side. I bow low and attack her middle again. She takes a couple of strong hits on her ribs. It’s gonna hurt later, bitch. I can’t hear anything. It’s like we are alone here, just me and her. I need to finish this because it’s taking too long for my standards. She tries to kick my upper tight and I use the situation to jump both legged and kick her right on her stomach, again. I may be small, but stomach and ribs are the most sensitive here. I use her disorientation and kick her halfway round and hit her right in the jaw. She stands for a couple more seconds and fall on the ground with a loud bang.

The arena erupted with excitement. People throw themselves on the cage and try to touch me. The guy from before comes closer to me and lift my arm in the air. I won bitches! Someone is walking out my opponent and I move to jump on Zac who appears inside the cage. He lifts me off the ground and laughs.

“OMG! I love you girl. I’m honestly hard right now!” I don’t know why I did what I did but at his words, I kiss him. He is shocked because at the beginning he didn’t move but then the audience whistles and he kisses me back. I know that we are friends and all, but this is only a kiss. I’m so excited that I needed to kiss him because he is the only one who supports me, who is honest with me. We break the kiss and look at each other. I smile at him and he returns the smile. This is friendship, a friendship that would hold us together, no matter what.

Chapter 18

Monday morning, a school day. I hate to attend this school for rich dickheads. I wear my uniform and storm downstairs. I haven’t spoken with Tyler yesterday. I have nothing to say to him. I spoke with Tobias and he got upset because I didn’t take him with me to my fight. He’s always been against fights but went with me anyway. As he always said, he was just checkin’ if I was safe. So, imagine his face when he spotted my black eye. Holy hell, he started to panic and wanted to call an ambulance. I will agree with him, the eye is horrible, but I will live.

I run to my car and wait for Tobi, as he is taking me school today, because I don’t see on my left eye, yeah, it’s that bad, but I heard that the girl is in hospital with six broken ribs. What a shame. Tobias comes and opens the driver side. I step inside the car and we drive off.

Soon enough, we arrive at school. We walk inside the building and everyone is staring at me, super. I spot Zac near his locker and wave at him. He grins my way and I run to jump into his arms. He spins me around as I laugh.

“Hello, beautiful. You look awful by the way. Are you okay?” His face change from happy to concern. He blames himself for what happened to me, but it was my idea.

“I’m fine, really. Don’t blame yourself. It is on me, remember, I wanted it.”

“Yeah but I took you there,” He says when his fingers travel down my eye. I hiss in pain, because damn hell, it’s painful.

“Are you two together or something?” Tobias asks. I laugh at him and Zac looks down on his shoes. Strange.

“Let’s say, we have some fun together, but we are friends,” I state. Someone turns me around absurdly. I stare at the person who did that, and the realisation come down on me, Liam. His angry stare turns shocked when he spots my eye.

“What happened? Who done that?” Not again, I will not answer his damn questions.

“Not. Of. Your. Business.” I say slowly. Liam stares me down, but his eyes are soft and for a second I think, I saw interest in them, but the emotion disappeared as quickly as the next arrogant voice fills the hallway, Tyler.

“Em, what the actual fuck! You weren’t kidding yesterday, were you? You slept with this wanker!” Both me and Zac gasp at the same time. I look at him and his sad eyes stares down. Shit. Liam is still gaping at me and Tobi is smirking in the corner, bastard.

“Shut the fuck up!” I shout- whisper when Tyler stops in front of me. He stares on my face with disbelief.

“Was it him? Have he done that to you?” Liam asks. Tyler’s eyes jump from me to him when flexing his jaw. He’s angry, good.

“Firstly, I haven’t slept with this shithead,” I point my finger at Liam, “Secondly, don’t be so angry when you’re the man whore here, not me. I can sleep with whoever I want because I’m not your property. And thirdly, I was fighting yesterday in the underground club, and I won, so this is the end of this ridiculous discussion.” I explain.

“You did what!” Both of the alpha shits shout at the same time. I sign loudly and look with pleading eyes on Zac.

“Okay, okay. Gentleman. Our lady here needs some space from both of you
