A boy named Blaze

Chapter 31

Tara

I stood up and looked at Taren, smiling sweetly, "scared to fight little old me?" He looked at me for a moment and I was laughing inside. This wanker cant take me, I beat everyone in this room, besides Blaze. "I cant hit a chick," he scoffed and I had to hold back laughter. Stupid boy really doesn't know me, "the way I fight I can make you forget I'm a chick."  Taren looked reluctant but slowly got out of his chair and joined me in the area Keller cleared for us. "I don't see why everyone is letting me fight you but I guess," Taren said, still looking unsure. I stretched, cracking my back and flexing my shoulders while a smile was present on my lips. "Last person standing wins," I cheered as I eyed him up. Cracking my knuckles I dropped into a fighting stance as I eyed him up. I'm guessing he was about 6'5 or 6'6 and had muscles formed on his arms. His long brown hair was in his eyes but he shook it, sending it sideways. Scars covered his arms and I guessed he was good at fighting but no one is better then me.

Sure, I might not have fought, like trained, in awhile but I can still take him. Taren was handsome I guess, yet I guess all the guys were in a way. Yet Taren was way to confident, I could see it in his smile as he looked at me, most likely checking me out. He lowered into a fighting crouch to but he did it lightly, I could see he thought this was a joke. I blocked out everyone around me, only focusing on Taren. I heard Smithy mutter something but wasn't really paying attention to him. I was blocking out my senses right now since I knew no one would attack me from behind, I trusted these guys. I could also heard Keller laughing and almost had to chuckle at that but tried my best to block it out. Curse you Keller, you better not distract me. Sometimes I wonder about that boy.

I brought my attention back at the fight with my cocky expression as I looked at Taren, waiting for him to make a move. After awhile of that I got tired of waiting and slowly starting advancing on him and his stupid smirk. Then I thought of a better idea and made my pose less threatening, trying to still act like Im trying my hardest. I didn't have to work to maintain my cocky smile though because this just strengthened it. He thought I was weak, why not let him believe that. I shot a weak fist onto his side which he easily blocked and laughed, thinking about how stupid of a fighter I am. What he didnt know that while he was blocking and laughing I was throwing a full force hit to the side of his head. He was shocked and stumbled a little, his head flying the other way on impact.

Taking advantage of his shocked state I swiftly brought my knee up and bashed it into his gut, causing him to lean foreword in pain. Now I had no problem blocking everyone else out, I was in the right mood and confidence radiated from me. He stood up straight again, furry lingered in his eyes because I got a hit in but I knew that he wasn't really mad at me, not like a proper fight. I think he was just shamed of being hit by a girl. I smiled at that, almost laughing because he was gonna get beaten by a girl. He started to advance on me but I took a step back, not letting him get to close. I knew I was going to win this fight though.

He went to go punch me but I quickly dodged it, feeling it rush past my ear. Then out of no where I felt a sharp pain to the back on my knee, causing me to crash onto the floor. I landed on my knees which also hurt but I dropped and rolled away, seeing that Taren was going to attack me while I was weak. That hurt but the adenine and also skill allowed me to block it out, even though I know I would feel it later. I almost grimaced at how much pain I will be in later but let it drop, focusing on the fight only.

I jumped up quickly but he hit me in the mouth, luckily not knocking out any of my teeth or I would have killed the wanker. I know he wouldn't have meant to really hurt me but like my fucking teeth are important. The hit almost caused me to crash down on my butt again but I recovered and just landed so I was crouching on my heels. I shot up quick and hit him right in the nose with a very hard punch. I heard a crack and he sweared as blood dripped form his nose. I smiled, as he sent another punch yet I blocked it. Smiling again I felt very cocky and fired off another punch which sadly he blocked causing me to send him a glare. He went to kick me but i dodged it and just blocked his fist that was flying towards my nose at a fast speed. It would probably leave a bruise on my arm but it better then sporting the broken nose it most likely would have given me.
