Imperfect Love (a Sokeefe fanfic)

The Match

 okay I've really wanted to write this chapter. And I hope you love it as much as I do.

POV Keefe

Two months, Foster and I have been together for two months. 

We're at Havenfield in Sophie's room sitting on her bed playing two truths and a lie.

" I have a stash of alicorn poop for pranking, I've full on kissed someone before dating you, and I love peanuts." I say.

" The lie is... you've full on kissed someone."

" Actually no, I don't have alicorn poop, sadly."

" Wait so you don't like peanuts?"

" No I love peanuts."

" But that means you kissed someone before me. Who was it?" Foster asks.

" Umm... itwasbiana." I blurt, scared of her reaction.

" Biana? but I thought you didn't ever like her." Sophie says puzzled.

" Oh I never did. She found out what mistletoe was and cornered me under some. the rules say I had to kiss her. Honestly it was dreadful." I say.

" Huh Biana really must have liked you. I'm glad she's with Tam now. I mean how could I compare." Foster says. Then she looks guilty. " I feel terrible after saying that. I mean what kind of friend is glad that someone moved on so that they don't have competition."

" Hey. It's alright. I would say the same thing if Fitz was over you."

" But Fitz isn't over me."

" Thats why I said if."

I smirk and then promptly frown. " I have to head back to the Shores of Sorrow."

" Isn't it Shores of Solace?"

" No it is but I think Shores of Sorrow is more accurate."

" Are you sure you can't stay?" Foster asks. Not wanting me to go back there.

" Yeah, sadly." 

I walk to the hall and get pulled into a shadow by none other than Grady.

 " Tomorrow 8:00 sharp Verdi's old pen." Grady whispers in my ear.

" Wha?"

" Tomorrow 8:00 sharp Verdi's old pen. Prove to me that you deserve my daughter. Bring boxing gloves."

" O-okay." I slip away from his grip and leap home, I flop on my bed. 

" What's wrong Hunkyhair." Ro pesters.

" Do you have boxing gloves?" I ask, getting desperate.

" Yeah and you can use em if you tell what's cause this could of angst to smother me." She She bargains.

" Grady is going to kill me in this boxing match to prove that I can take care of Sophie."

" Welp, I guess you're dead then."

" Yeah." 

Ro hands me the boxing gloves which just my wrists.

I drift off, wondering how I'm gonna survive this.

( 8:00 )

I glitter onto Havenfields pastures and walk toward Verdi abandon pen.

Grady wanted my humiliation to be public cause the whole gang is there. Ro moves to a shadowy corner next to Tam and starts slurping her smoothie. Sophie is in the middle, watching me with worried eyes. Fitz is next to her with an evil smirk on his face. Biana, Linh, and Marella are in cheerleader uniforms. They seem ready to turn on whoever is doing best probably not going to be me. Dex has ice blue paint on his face, as if supporting me. Tam is just watching with an amused expression as if he can't wait to watch me get beat to a pulp.

" Are you ready That Boy." Grady asks.

" Yeah, sure." I respond

" You mean yeah sure, sir." 

" Grady you don't have to call me sir." I say smirking.

" I- you know what forget it. Lets start."

It's been 20 minutes and I haven't landed a single blow. I've been too busy dodging. Ro is 3/4 of the way done with her smoothie. Fitz is looking happier the closer each blow gets to my head.  The cheerleaders were so tired they stopped cheering.

" I will get you." Grady rasps. staggering around. 

He trips towards me and I see my chance. Darting forward I land a solid punch on his jaw. To my utter shock Grady flies off the ground and lands, out cold, on the ground 5 meters away. 

" GAH!" I turn around and see Tam drenched in smoothie. The same smoothie that Ro was drinking mere moments ago. But Tam hadn't shouted Gah Fitz had. He was storming off. Quite furious that I beat Grady. 

" YOU DID IT!!" Foster yells as she flings her arms around my neck. I stumble and fall with Foster still on top of me. Taking advantage of the situation I kiss her. She kisses back hard for a minute and then takes off my boxing gloves. My Sucker Punch is underneath it. I must have 'forgotten' to take it off before hand.

" We should probably take Grady to Elwin." I say.

" Yeah I guess, and Tam, you should get cleaned up." Foss-boss says.

" I forgot Bangs-boy was covered in slushy."

" Of course you forgot. You were too busy kissing your girl." Tam snarks.

" Hey at least she still is my girl. Had the match ended differently she wouldn't be." I return.

We leap Grady to Elwin.

" Hey Elly, I kind sorta knocked Grady out in a boxing match. Can you fix him up?" I say.

" Yes though it will take a couple hours I need to brew a new elixir."

" That's fine. Come on I want to take you somewhere to celebrate."

" Okay where?" Foster asks.

" You'll see." I say.

And with that we glitter away.

The next chapter is the date I hoped you like this chapter. Bye my gremlins.

Gremlins are described as creatures with black fur and a cute, puppy-like face. They like to dismantle things, especially shiny objects, and aren't very open to letting them go. Known gremlins include Sprocket, Tinker's gremlin, and Jolie and Brant's Gremlin. They are also Foxfire's Level One mascot.
