12. New Hobby:Boxing Classes

Next day we were in the school, when we heard an announcement related to a new Hobby class that was to be introduced in the school by the very Next week. It was Boxing!
"Did I hear it right?"Kate asked me as she used to sit with me.
"YEA GIRL!YOU HEARD IT RIGHT! Its BOXING!"

Kate and I were damn happy about this. Later Ash joined us and we made a plan to join this class instead of others like-Swimming, Basketball, Baseball, Cricket, Football etc.
"You may now give your names. But remember the class is going to be very strict", said our class teacher.
Except for Theo and Sam, our whole crew gave our names, Theo and Sam were interested in Football.

And guess what, even Bella gave her name for boxing. Duh!.

"Hey guys!So can I join your Boxing squad?"Bella asked us.
"I gotta fill my water-bottle."I said, "hey Ash!I need a company. You coming?"
Ash giggled and agreed. We went, and I really don't know about the talk they had later but what I knew was that they (my crew) knew about my feelings. THIS MUST BE EDWARD!

I was surprised!They refused to her request. I am feeling sorry for her but c'mon, you know it very well that... You know the reason right?

Peter wanted to be with her. He once said "You know? Bella is amazing at boxing!"
Let's see if said the truth or said this just because she is her girl.
-------------------------------
After a week, it was our first class of boxing.

"Hello kids! I am Mr.Stuart your coach." ,introduced our coach.
We all introduced ourselves and then he started teaching. We really enjoyed his teaching and the way he made us practice.
----------------------------------------

It was a month since we started boxing. So Mr. Stuart asked us if we were ready for a short fight.We all agreed.

"The rules are simple. The one who wins will remain in the batch while the one who loses will have to leave. Your rankings will be displayed on that Board.Each pair will get two chances. Which means you have to fight two times. Get yourselves ready while I prepare the list. "
I was nervous, but I was ready to fight.
'I don't want to fight with Peter!' I whispered to myself.
"Don't worry! you'll not fight with Peter!"Lily motivated me and laughed.
----------------------------------------
"The List is ready kids!"Mr Stuart announced, "And the first fight is between Nancy..."
"Great so he is going to start with me!"I mumbled.
He continued "...and Bella. Come on girls! show off your skills. "
"All the best!" wished my crew. "Thanks!" I replied.
I was ready I saw him(Peter) he was hugging Bella. Then I avoided looking at them.

She was now in front of me, she was staring at me as if she is going to eat me.
"I am not scared of you."she said.

I ignored her amd looked again at Peter. He gave me a smile. And then I noticed that he was trying to tell me something.I was unable to recognize.
"Ready girls?"asked our coach.
"Yea!" Bella answered.
"Yup!!", I answered too.
"So, 3,2,1..."the bell rang 'ting ting ting' coach continued, "Start the fight"

And we had a great fight. First move by her and I was on the ground. DAMN!.
"Get up Nancy!!Get up!" Kate cheered.
I got up and punched her hard. This time she was on the ground.She was unable to get up.
The fight got over I was the winner of the first round of the fight.
