Familiar

(Back to Aidan's pov)

I was walking through the hall with a boy I met and apparently he's the MMA team's captain. He's bringing me to the football field, I'm confused as to why. However, he says we train mostly out there when it's a nice day. I just go along with it since I'm new but I'm on guard since I still don't know anyone.

We walk onto the field and there's and octagon in the middle of the field. I look at the captain a bit confused. He just smiles and pats me on the back and says for me to go weigh. I just nod my head and take my shirt of as the person weighs me.

"155lbs" he says and writes it on the weight chart. I mentally curse myself but I could go up in a weight class. I fight at 150lbs but I could go up to 160 since it'll give me more of a challenge. "What weight class are you?" The man asks. "160lbs" I state and he writes down. He says I'm gonna have to gain 5 pounds but I can fight at 160 today. I nod.

"Yo so I heard your weight class is 160?" Says a guy who looks like if you put James Charles in The Rocks body. "Yeah man. I gotta gain a few though, but I'm gonna fight at 160 today" I say with confidence cause I know I'm good. He nods and holds his hand out and introduces himself, "Names Callahan. Noah Callahan." I smile and shake his hand "Names Griffin. Aidan Griffin." His eye widen a little bit and that's how I know he knows my last name. Not gonna lie though he's pretty cute.

"Oi! Griffin you're up first! Newbies gotta go first so we see how they do! Go into the changing room to change into gear!" The captain yells. I still don't know his name. I nod and grab my bag and head into the boys locker room.

💞💞💞

Me and some of the boys go into the locker room and start getting changed when a new kids walks in. Shit—it's the kid from calc. Me and boys look at each other confused cause as far as we know, Spencer is the only new kid on the team. Jacob was the first to speak up:

"Yo kid! Who are you and why are you in the locker room?" Jordan asks. Aidan turns around and raises an eyebrow, "I'm here with MMA team. I was recruited to bring your school up in ranks again. Plus, I'm first to fight so I'm in here to change" He says like it was obvious and I mean it was. He was too skinny but too muscly to be a football player. Jordan looks shocked and speaks again. "So the MMA team is on the field right now?" The kid nods confused and goes back to changing. Damn that means no practice, I mentally groan.

He takes his shirt off and JJ chokes on his water. I look over at his and pat his back trying to help him breathe. Aidan looks back concerned and rushes over to help. All of us are blushing cause he's ripped. His muscles are flexing and his 6 pack abs are practically glowing.

"Wow man! You ok?" He said. All JJ could do was nod his head and Aidan raised an eyebrow. "Hang on lemme try something." He said while getting behind JJ and he, JJ, blushed harder. Aidan put his hand on the back of his neck and held down a certain spot which made JJ stop coughing.

"You good now man?" He says and JJ nods and gives his thanks. Kid just smiles and tells it's no problem. "It's something we did back in Brooklyn during training when someone got hit too hard in the windpipes." He says chuckling and then going back to changing, his back flexing, his muscles look beautiful, he puts on a tight shirt that shows his back muscles, his arms are put into compression sleeves, his hand are put into gloves, he take his pants off and puts in fighting shorts. He chuckles again.

"Take a picture guys. It'll last longer." I look at my team mates and they look like they need a bucket for how much drool is coming out of their mouths. He turn around and omfg he's looks like a Greek god. Without me thinking I take my phone out and snap a picture, he laughs.

"Who knew football players would be rendered speechless by the new fighter" he says as he walks out the locker room but not without putting a mouth guard in. Me and the other football players quickly finish changing and run out of the locker room to the field.

We make it too the field and we see an octagon in the middle of our field. We all grab buckets and sit as close as we can to the octagon without bothering anyone. Aidan comes out from wherever he was and I guess I never noticed but he looks so familiar to me and I don't know why.

💞💞💞

I walk out of the locker room and go back outside and I see the team set up at speaker. The captain sees me and waves me over to him. I jog over and see he's writing down nicknames, I see names like 'Ground Zero', 'Grim Reaper', 'The Nigerian Pitbul', etc.

"What do you want your nickname to be?" He asks. Surprisingly, I never really thought of it, so I just shrug and ask if he's got any ideas for a nickname. "How about...'The True Alpha'?" He says, "I like it" saying smiling.

I walk back towards the octagon and I see the football players. I chuckle and walk towards them. I stand in front of them leaning against the ring and raise an eyebrow. I wait for one of them to talk but my eyes were caught on one of their players. He looks familiar but idk why, I shrug and then speak.

"Do you guys always drool over a fighter then want to watch them fight?" I ask while chuckling, this light skinned boy looks over and shakes his head no. "Cat got your tongue?" I ask with a smirk. "Oi! Aidan get in the ring your fighting!" yells my captain. I nod and give them a smirk and walk into the ring.
