Monday, 8:09.

Scanning the hallway, looking for any known faces. Summer was over, and I was starting my junior year.

Everybody looked tired, didn't expect anything else knowing that everybody probably fucked up their sleep schedule over the summer, me included.

Danielle was no where to be seen, she's probably with Carson anyway.

This was probably going to be the worst year of all, they had to close the MMA gym in town, there wasn't enough people practicing so they went bankrupt.

I arrived at my locker and went to open it when I saw Danielle walking up to me. "Myla! I haven't seen you in so long! Can you believe the summer is over already?" "No cause it literally felt like I started just yesterday! Only two more years in hell I guess"

This school was complicated. It was like a competition, a competition of being at the top, being the 'king' or 'queen'.

I couldn't care less. It was lame, why couldn't they just live in the moment?

I was pulled out of my thoughts, when I heard commotion down the hall. I turned around to see what it was.

My eyes landing on Javon Walton, the current 'king'. He was walking down the school hallway with his little group, Jaden, Caleb and Liam.

He was scanning the hallway from side to side with his eyes as he was walking, acting like he owned the school. Pathetic, idiotic really. Who does he think he is? Yeah I get most girls find him attractive, not that he wasn't, it's just that really shitty personality of his.

His eyes met mine, I didn't even realize I was staring. I looked away, but not before catching a glint of his smirk.

Danielle obviously noticed, she would never shut up about how 'in love' I was with him. I wasn't tho, I would never get with him.

"I saw that" I looked up at Danielle, she was a few centimeters taller than me but it wasn't noticeable from afar. "You saw what?" I was acting like I didn't know what she was talking about. "Javon, smirking at you, there's no way you don't like him" "I don't, he's a self-centered idiot. I would never get with him Danielle" "whatever you say" she said with a smile, I could hear the irony in her voice as she spoke.

I closed my locker after getting my books out. "What do you have now?" I looked at Danielle
"Science" "with Ms Thompson?" I said while letting out a slight chuckle. "Yep, lucky me" she let out chuckle herself and we parted ways.

I didn't have any classes with Danielle, which was kinda sad. The only thing we had together was lunch.

I checked my phone, 8:24, I had exactly 6 minutes to get to the other side of the school. Perfect.

Monday, 11:15.

Lunch, finally.

I was making my way to the table Danielle was already sitting at.

"God, I'm so tired , I wish it was summer again" Danielle spoke as I sat down at the bench across from her.

"Real, I just had algebra with Mr Barlow, exhausting" Mr Barlow hated me, and Danielle knew.

I never really did anything to him, so I didn't know why he disliked me so much. "Gosh, what did he do this time?" "He literally shouted at me infront of everyone, just because I dropped my fucking pen"

"Anyways, can you go with me to the bathroom? I need to pee" I half- whispered to Danielle, so the other people at the table couldn't hear.

"Yeah, for sure" she grabbed her bag and we stood up, walking out of the cafeteria.

As I was walking I felt eyes burning into my back.
I turned around, locking eyes with the person staring me down.

Javon fucking Walton.

Obviously surrounded by girls, as always.

He said something to Liam who was sitting beside him. Liam then looked at me as well . I gave them a 'what the hell' look, then looking away.

'What's this dudes problem'

————————

Sitting at the kitchen island, talking with my dad about other options for my MMA career. "We can see if another gym accepts MMA?" my dad suggests, scrolling through different gyms in the city.

"What about this one?" he asks, turning the laptop toward me. 'ONWARD BOXING GYM' is written in big text on the website.

"Boxing?" I'm not sure if that's a good idea. "Yeah, if you want to try, I'll send them an email and ask. I heard Mason started training there after the gym closed down."

Mason, a close friend from the old gym, did MMA with me. Trying out the boxing gym seems like a good idea if he's there. "Yeah, for sure."

Monday, 4:57.

Unlocking my phone, I enter Snapchat, scrolling down to find Masons name.

Mason🫄🏻

|Yeah! Surprised they even accepted MMA🤣
