Can You Fight? [ON HOLD]

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Ugh! Could my life get any worse?! My English partner just so happened to be the one who’s out to get me! I don’t really get why he harasses the nerdy me. I haven’t done shit to him. The real me on the other hand, I get. I do realize that I was the first one to ever beat him in a fight, but that was three fucking years ago! I don’t know why he won't just get over it! He’s such a whiny little bitch!

Currently, we’re just sitting in silence in my room. Yeah, that’s right: my clean ass room that he’s infected with his germs he gets from Veronica. We both didn’t even attempt to start a conversation. You can really feel the thick tension. We’ve just been sitting in there doing nothing for the past two hours. Yes you heard me right, two fucking hours! I could have gotten a lot of shit done in two hours worth of time. I looked at the time and saw that it was five. Huh. I didn’t realize how late it was. I have a match in three hours. I should start getting ready soon.

My younger sister, Emily, should be home by now. Where is she? Eh. Mom probably knows.

I was now back to staring at Ryder and he was staring right back at me.

“Likes to stare at others,” I jotted down on my notes about Ryder. Hey, I needed something for the presentation and this was something alright.

“You’re insane,” Ryder commented. I gave him a glare.

I was about to give reply to his comment, but my phone decided to ring. I looked at it and saw that it was her. She was at a friend’s house. I swear my twelve year old little adopted sister will give me a heart attack one day. When we first saw her, I thought she was the cutest little thing I’ve ever seen. She had these bright blue eyes that looked so cute yet so familiar. Her birthday was coming up in a few weeks. I wonder what I should get her.

Anyway, I sighed in relief.  I looked up to see Ryder staring at me confused.

“What are you staring at Carson?” I snapped at him. Shit! I just called him what Gen calls him! I instantly regretted it when his face twisted in anger. I saw a flash of surprise flash his features. If I wasn’t skilled (and such a boss), I would have missed it.

“I-I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean it.” I stuttered in fake terror. All I want to do is to slap him and tell him to get over it. So I snapped at him, who gives a flying fuck?

“I’m leaving. It’s fucking obvious that this partnership isn’t going to work out.” Ryder said standing up. Before I could say anything back, he stalked out of my room. I can’t believe him! He is such an asshole! I went downstairs as I heard a car speed off. I rolled my eyes and made myself a sandwich. I'm going to have to pick Emily up soon. When I finished my sandwich, I gulped down a glass of water and took my car keys. Yeah, I had a car: a red convertible. I’d won enough fights to buy myself a car (and a lot more crap). I just don’t like using it to go to school. It just would draw even more towards me. I sent Emily a quick text telling her I was on my way to pick her up. Ten minutes later, I was at Emily’s friend’s house. Emily was sitting on the front porch. She was talking to someone who looked about her age, but she was in a wheelchair. I’ve been here to pick her up before, and for some reason, I’ve never actually met her friend until today.

“Hey Emily,” I said as I got out of the car and walked over to her. She stopped talking and looked at me. She grinned and waved.

“Hey Lia! This is my friend Jane. She went to camp with me and invited me over.” She said happily. I smiled at her friend.

“Hi Jane. I’m Lia. Nice to meet you.” I said holding out my hand. She took it shyly.

“Likewise,” she said in a barely audible voice.

“No need to be shy Janey.” My sister prodded her.

“Don’t call me Janey. You know I hate it.” Jane said pouting her lip as if upset. Emily chuckled. Jane looked so familiar. That shade of chocolate brown hair and those green piercing eyes were so familiar.

“Sorry Janey,” she said with a cheeky smile. Jane then proceeded to whisper something to Emily that I didn’t quite catch.

“Come on Em. We need to go. I have something to do.” She nodded. We started walking to my car as Emily waved to her friend. A woman came out of the house and wheeled Jane inside.

“Who’s that chick?” I asked my sister.

“She’s Jane’s mom. She’s a bit distant to her and her brother.”

“Jane has a brother?”

“Yup, I’ve met him once and he’s pretty nice.”

“Oh.” I stared down the road.

“Jane seems to be nice.”

“Yup she’s my best friend!” Emily exclaimed happily while popping the p.

“I thought I was your best friend!!!!” I exclaimed in fake shock, pouting a little.

“You’re not my best friend.” Emily started, “You’re the best sister a girl could have.”  She gave me a hug as I stopped at a red light.

“Aw, thanks Em!” I said hugging her back. “Now let’s get home. Mom left us some weird meat sh.. crap. I’m not gonna eat that alone.”

I let go of her, and drove home as the light turned green. The rest of the ride home was a fairly comfortable silence. Emily and I ate dinner alone; Mom’s still busy at her restaurant. It’s a pretty fancy place. The restaurant’s called Serenity; cheesy name I know, but it’s actually a pretty sweet place. If you’re you know… an adult with a crap of cash.

Soon, it was 7:30. It was time for me to go. I took off my nerdy disguise and changed into my Gen clothes. The wig was starting to irritate my scalp, and the fake glasses were weighing me down. Eh. That’s what you get when you buy crap from the Internet.

“Emily, don’t let anyone in, keep the door locked, don’t answer the phone unless it’s Mom or me, and call us if there’s an emergency. And don't burn down the house. Alright?” I reminded Emily before I left. She knew about the fights.

“Yeah yeah, I know. You’ve told me that a billion times,” She whined. I chuckled.

“Stay safe, kid,” I said, ruffling her hair. She got annoyed, and her hands went up to her head immediately. I can tell she was trying to fight a smile.

“Bye, Em!” I called to her as I closed the door behind me.

Time to go do the one thing that makes me happy: street fighting.
