The Nerd's Secret

Chapter 5

Selena POV

Sorry for the long wait I was just not able to come up with anything but when I fell asleep in class today it came to me Lol. Enjoy the chapter!!

Troy didn't come to school yesterday or today and I'm starting to think that he's embarrassed because of what had happened the other day.

I was thinking of going over tonight to see if he was okay but then I thought, hey he's a big boy, he can handle it. When I get home my trainer calls me and says that I have two fights tonight.

Victor never gives it out that I'm a girl so that I can have the upper hand with the surprise. I need to prepare because they have won every single match that they've fought.

That is until tonight of course, because they haven't went against me yet.

I grab my bag and head down to the gym to practice for tonight. When I get there people are quiet, unusually quiet.

I walk up to Victor and he has bags under his eyes and his eyes are red and puffy. Huh. I never thought that I would live to see a grown man cry, especially Victor, my big and buff trainer.

"Dude what's wrong with everybody?"

"You didn't hear? The boss man died yesterday in a car crash, apparently the driver was drunk and he was looking at his phone before he crashed into him," I've never met the boss-man but I know that he is responsible for all of my fights and that he is the owner of the gym and underground fighting club.

"Wow that's terrible. Send my condolences to his family will you?" He nods his head and tells me to warm up. After a few stretches and some punches on the bag I go into the ring where Victor is waiting for me.

We fight for a while until he calls the quits and goes to the restroom. When he's gone I text my mom and dad saying that I have two fights tonight and that I'll be home late.

Okay honey be safe and kick some butt for us.

Sometimes they are the weirdest people but I love them and there is nothing I would ever do to change it. I love my parents and they love me, it's a perfect family with no fights or arguments. Well except over Football games, we fight over who did what in the game and how it was supposed to be.

When Victor comes back we start up again until seven and then head to the basement. The cheers from the people who bet on me greets me as I walk downstairs.

I laugh and walk to the dressing room to get dressed in my lucky outfit I wear every fight that helps me win. I've had this for a while and it still hasn't shrunk, I think that's another reason why it's lucky.

I walk outside as they call my street name 'Black Widow' and my opponent laughs at me when I walk into the ring.

I stare up at him through my eyelashes and give an innocent look. It always works for the guys, not many girls come down here, and actually I'm the only girl that ever fights in here.

"You guys can't be serious right now, a girl? What is she going to do kick me in the balls? There is no way she can beat me! So this will be easy!" The guys laugh at him but he seems to think that they are laughing with him when I know that they're laughing at him because he thinks that he's going to win against a "Girl". When the bell rings we circle each other around the ring.

I decide to speak up after getting bored. "So would a girl be able to do this?" I punch him in the jaw and he looks shocked and then he shakes his head.

"Alright little girl why don't you just give up right now and we can go back to my place," I am so disgusted right now.

I kick him in the balls and before he can hunch over I upper cut him and he falls backwards onto the mat. Everyone cheers as the bell rings for the finished match. I look back at him and he's still on the floor.
