CHAPTER TWO
"Who are you?" I heard someone say, I looked up at the person. It was the guy who bumped into me earlier. He's so close to me, I can feel his breath on my ear and neck...I can feel my ears and face getting hot too. "My-my...name..s..Destiny.." I said stuttering quietly.
"What was that? I didn't quite catch what you said. What's your name?" I looked away from him shyly, "My name is..Destiny." He grunted before taking his hand off the wall and walking off.

"God dammit that was fucking cute. When did I start liking guys? When I saw him? I'll just have to stay away from him I guess." I thought, bringing my hand to cover my mouth and guard anyone from seeing the red on my face.
"Hiro" I heard someone say my name, I recognized the voice. "Yes sir?" "Class is about to start in a minute so go round up everyone for me, I'll grab the new student." I nodded and went to gather up everyone.
D: "Heyy, Hiroo-"
H: "What?"
D: "Bro you good? I was just saying hi."
H: "Yeah, sorry Diego. I'm good just have something bothering me."
Diego is Hiro's bestfriend and part of the Woodland clan. He's the best student in the combats class. Hiro wants to be stronger than Diego, you can imagine why Hiro was training all night, can't you?
I sighed, "Would you mind helping me round up everyone?" He nodded "Sure, might be fun." He said with an enthusiastic smile.
Like that we left to go round up everyone. By the time we were done and had everyone outside in the courtyard the teacher had already grabbed Destiny. He was standing there with great posture, however he was very stiff and seemed nervous.

I was standing there as I watched Hiro leave, he was stopped by the teacher and then sent off to go do something. Instructor Column starts to make his way over to me, stopping in front of me after a few seconds. "Still haven't changed yet?" He asked me.
"N-no sir" I said in response. "Well, better hurry and go get changed. We're going out to the courtyard to start class soon."
I nodded and made my way to the boys locker room. I went to my assigned locker and opened it placing my bag inside. I took off my flower crown before taking off my straps on my shirt, folding them nicely and setting them inside the locker as well. I then slipped off my shirt before sliding on the gym shirt the teacher gave me. I took off my shoes and went through the same process with my pants.
After I closed my locker I made my way outside where the teacher was. "Ah, finally. Took you a while." Instructor Column said teasingly before gesturing for me to follow him. After a bit of a walk we made our way into the courtyard. We waited for a few minutes for everyone else to be outside as well.

"So Hiro, what does the new kid look like?" I asked. "You'll see, Diego, just wait a few more minutes." I sighed restlessly.
"Look he's right there." Hiro said pointing. I looked, and felt my heart skip a beat. "Whoa.." "What?" Hiro asked.
"Nothing.. he looks pretty feminine, don't you think?" I said.
Hiro's pov
"Now that you mention it, he does."
Maybe that's why I find him cute...
End of pov
"Great! Everyone's out here now." The teacher said with a pause, "We have a new student. His name is Destiny and he is from the Electric clan."
"Oh so that explains the white hair." I said. "Hiro, how well do you think he is at fighting? I'd like to spar with him."
"I don't know Diego. Cause his appearance would make you think he isn't good at fighting, but you shouldn't judge a book by its cover."
So I'll have to wait and find out myself.
My thoughts got interrupted by the teacher. "So, show of hands, who wants to see how well the people of the Electric clan fight?" The teacher asked. Everyone raised their hands besides Hiro even though he was interested.
"Okay. Who wants to spar with him?" Instructor Column asked.
"Me! I'll spar with him sir!" I said enthusiastically, raising my hand. "Okay then. Come up here. Everyone else move back!"
I made my way up to where Destiny was, he was shorter than me by a few inches and he looked at me nervously. I put my hand out, "Name's Diego. You're Destiny right? How 'bout I call you cutie instead?"
He blushed and looked away before putting his hand out to shake mine. "Nice to meet you Diego..." He said quietly.
I chuckled. "Ready to spar with me, cutie?" I asked, taking my hand away from his and placing it on my hip. He stepped back and put himself into a lower defensive stance. "Can I use my magic Mister Column?" He asked.
"Yes you can Destiny." He replied.
I stepped back and got myself in my regular fighting stance.
"Okay. When I say start, you start. No sooner or later, yes? Ok." The air felt intense as we were waiting for the teacher to say start. We're scanning each other, seeing if we can comprehend any movement the other might make.
"And...START!"
As soon as he said start Destiny disappeared in a flash. Almost like lightning. I felt a kick hit my left arm, "Damn cutie, you're quick!" I said with a smirk. I turned around slightly and brushed my hand against his leg before he jumped back.
He landed about 10 feet away from me, in a new stance. I can feel my blood rushing; adrenaline. This is fun.
I sprinted towards him and aimed a punch at his diaphragm. He blocked it with his arm before it landed. He landed a punch on my right side before jerking his hand away where my fist was still sitting on his arm. He snatched my arm and put me on my stomach with my arm behind my back.
I chuckled. "You've got some potential cutie." I said, looking up at him. He was barely breathing hard at all. Boy, this was unexpected. These feelings and this defeat.
