Chapter 17

I woke to an unfamiliar place, it was light out and the place was dead silent. Looking around i realized it was a dressing room at the arena, checking my watch it was 12:30, i have sleeping a lot lately. Shit, i was missing school, i tore out of the room making sure to lock it and hauled ass all the way to school. "Hello Ren, where have you been the past month?" the office lady asked me once i got there 

"I got taken down to florida by Axel, I hope i can still keep going here" she handed me a late pass

 "You are perfectly fine, you are ahead on a lot anyways" i nodded and hurried to class, we still had 3 hours left. 

"hey henry, i'm sorry i kinda disappeared for the month, axel took me to florida" he smiled and gave me a hug, then all of my classmates noticed and were all over me

 "How was florida? why did you go? we missed you! you missed a field trip. did you meet a boy? do you have pictures? how is axel? how is the underground?did you go to the black market there?" 

"Alright kids calm down and take a seat, i am sure Ren will explain everything to you guys." i smiled and took a seat on the special chair in the front. They had all learned about everything on my birthday, i thought it was time and that they were mature enough to handle it. 

"Well i was having a bit of a rough time and after Jason's fight on the 25th of july i stormed out on him. I decided to hid out in a fighters car, not so smart i know." I went on to tell them all that happened the past month and they all listened attentively. when i was done they all had questions 

"Do you think you will ever get together with Rocky?" i shook my head 

"No, i don't think i will, my life is too different, yet i didn't tell him that" 

"Can you take us all to the beach house on vacation?"

 "I would love to, if we can plan it out maybe we can do that" 

"Can we see you fight?"

 "No!" they all whined about that one and i giggled and yawned 

"Alright guys i have plenty of work to catch up on" i hopped off the seat and they started to get back to their own work

"Henry i am really tired lately, and i dont know why" he felt my forehead 

"No fever,did you sleep well in florida?" i shook my head

 "well thats probably why, just give yourself a few days, i you are still feeling weird at the end of the week on friday let me know" I nodded and went over to my cubby getting back to my history. within two hours i had gotten through almost 3 chapters 

"Henry, i only have 7 chapters left in 5th grade history, I looked and 6th grade english i am not too far off on either." He nodded 

"Alright girly, just keep plugging away and check it off on your class list when you get there" i smiled and put my history in my backpack, maybe i could finish it by the end of the day tomorrow. I skipped out of the classroom. Maxwell left the U-haul locked and inside my hideout building. Maybe i could find an empty room at the arena, i want to start training there soon anyways.

I went back to the arena, there were a couple guys around in the back but i snuck my way in and very quietly got back into the fighters room. I looked around for some sort of identification and i finally found a magazine with him on it "*BLACKBLOOD WINS MAJOR FIGHT AGAINST DEATHSLAYER*

" wow, i guess that must be impressive if it ended him up on the cover of a magazine, it was an MMA one so they must have set it up as an MMA fight instead of a street fight. Wait i recognize that name, Deathslayer. Oh yeah, he fought jason on my birthday, it was an intense fight. I shrugged it off and flicked on the TV, i didn't know what i wanted to watch but then i came across something called the Suite Life of Zack and Cody (look up august 2003 shows). It was a set of twin boys around my age that were constantly making a ruckus, Then a show called Thats So Raven came on, both of them had me laughing my head off. I was watching Disney channel for a good few hours before i got something to eat, then i plopped down to watch a movie. Halfway through I heard the door being unlocked and a fighter came in. He raised an eyebrow 

"Hey kid, what are you doin in this room?" i rolled my eyes 

"I have permission, what are you doing in here?" i heard him growl under his breath 

"this is my dressing room also, who gave you permission?" i flicked my eyes away from the tv and to him 

"I believe his name to be BlackBlood" he nodded 

"Are you a relative?" 

"No"

 "runaway?"

 "pretty much, but if you dare report me to the cops or CPS it will be the end of you."he gulped slightly and i smirked 

"So do you have a place to stay?" 

"Kinda, but i am avoiding the people who watch out for me, so thats why i am in here." he nodded 

"Why did you run if i may ask" i looked at him for a moment

 "That is none of your buisness" he straightened himself out 

"Oh yes it is" i snorted

 "No, it isn't and you will never get it out of me" i turned to glare at him "Listen whatever you want just get it over with, i kinda want to escape and be by myself" 

"well the names deathslayer, if i may know who is looking after you?" i shook my head 

"Look i don't know if there are rivalries in this place so i am keeping that information to myself." he nodded and walked off to get changed i presume for a fight. He came out with shorts on looking tired and he was a bit beat up "Ice your injuries before you go out to fight and take a pain pill right now, it will help trust me." i saw him look at me while he was facing the mirror 

"How do you know that?" i smiled 

"just a little trick i learned for the pain" 

"oh, okay" i faced back to the tv and before i knew it i was being shaken awake. "I won the fight, and do you have school tomorrow morning or anything?" i nodded rubbing my eyes to get the sleepiness to go away. He handed me a small bite of chocolate "Here that should help, what time do you need to be at school? do you need a ride or something?" i smiled up at him 

"I need to be awake at 6, and from here it is only like a 10 minute walk, like a quarter of a mile, i walk everyday." he nodded

"Okay i will make sure you are up at 6 am then, what time does school start and end

 "Starts at 7 and ends at 4, and i normally have a few hours of homework every night" he looks at me like im crazy 

"What school do you go to?" i grinned 

"I go to Maywell Prep, in high school i will be going to Maywell high" he looked impressed 

"ah so you are working on like high school classes then "I shrugged

 "only in science, I am in biology" he nodded and i yawned and he checked his watch

 "Its like 10:30 and you need your rest, you take the bed and i will take the couch" I nodded as my eyes blinked close and i dozed off.
