"Hey Aiden." I wrapped my arm around his and stared at Ryan. "what are you doing here?" I calmly asked him, even though inside I wanted to slice him to tiny little bits.

"Is that anyway to treat a guest?" Ryan asked with a smirk.

"Aiden, how do you know Ryan?" I raised an eyebrow at him.

"We just met. He was standing here when I arrived. He said he need to talk to you." Aiden had worry lines on this forehead, Like he knew that we had history. "How do you know him?"

"Ex. Well then, we must be going. Goodbye Ryan, come Aiden we don't want to be to late." I pulled his arm and we started walking. We were just about to the sidewalk when Aiden dropped my arm and turned back to Ryan, who was just about to walk in the other direction. As I turned I saw Aiden pull Ryan to face him and then he swung. He punched Ryan right in the eye, That was going to leave a mark.

Ryan looked shocked and remained on the ground as Aiden walked back to me. I glanced at Ryan over my shoulder and he was just standing on the side walk watching us walk away.

We made it to the bonfire on south beach. Kayla stood by the fire with Cole next to her. There is something between them, I can tell. Zack and Tyler stood flirting with some blondes by a statue of a surfer. The night is bright, the moon was like a spot light and Aiden and I sat under it. The stars shined ever so brightly, as if they were diamonds stuck up there for eternity. A lot of people were drunk and since I don't drink, Aiden, Kayla,  and I were the only ones sober. Kayla and I had swore when we made it to highschool that we would never drink, we didn't want to be like the girls who take off their shirts and dance or wake up next to someone who we can't remember the name of. What really surprised me was that Aiden didn't drink. He said he would have a sip here and there but never more than one beer. I thought Since he was a bad boy he was the type of guy to drink and fall unconscious in the street. Guess I was wrong.

"Aiden, I'll be back. I need to take a walk." Standing I let go of his hand, just to have him take it again.

"I'll come with you." He stood and I lightly pushed him back to sit.

"By myself." Again I let go of his hand and walked down to where the water meets the sand.

The moon made the ocean water glitter and the waves crashed making other flow softly to the shore. My life was like a movie, more drama and conflict then the life of any normal teenager. There are six months until the end of the school year. I'm not sure anymore to whether I'm going to college. In two months the fight competition ends and in two weeks it begins. What happens after graduation is a mystery to me.

I wrapped my sweater around my body tighter and turned back to the party and started walking. There was music playing but I didn't notice really, I just sat back down and placed my head on Aiden's shoulder.

2 Weeks Later

The start was tonight and I was ready. Aiden entered, I'm not sure if he'll make it but hopefully he gets out before I have to fight him, I don't want to do that. Kayla and I were on our way to the find a song I could enter in on. Aiden told me he and the guys were off helping him get ready for tonight.

I went down stares to find something to eat before I started my exercise and warm up, I wouldn't be eating during the tournament. There was a knock at the door and I went to open it. Behind the door stood the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. Her red hair sparkled in the setting sun and he blue eyes glimmered as a smile lit up her face. It was like looking into a mirror. She looked just like me, My facial features and my ruby red hair, in ever way we looked alike but our eyes. The women must have noticed this too because she looked shocked. She lifted her hand to touch my face and I backed up, as if remembering something, she took her hand back.
