I have heard people say that I don't have emotions, that I don't have a heart and I don't even know the meaning of love.

And all of this is wrong.

They said to me that I will never be happy or that I am the reincarnation of the devil himself.

They are wrong, just because they think I don't have a heart doesn't mean I am devil. And who wants to be happy anyway.
I don't, I am fine just the way I am now.

I think it's time to introduce myself.

I am Cameron Mathews. I never had a middle name so I gave myself one. Cameron Xavier Mathews. I am 18 years old. I have photographic memory. I live alone and don't have anyone I deeply care . Mostly people refer to me as heartless.

Right now I am at the black hole waiting for my fight to start.
Black hole is an illegal bar and fighting arena. It's where you can get wasted or laid. You sign up for a fight and make 1000$ for a single fight and sometimes even more. The specialty of black hole is that it's open 24/7 and the fights can be arranged whenever you want. Everyone knows about this place, even the police but they don't come here because of the authorities.

My fighting name is Heartless and my fight is in 5 minutes. I wear a black beanie to cover my face and wrap my hands. I have signed up for 4 fights, about half an hour ago. It's 11 pm on a Saturday night, my fights will be over in about 1 hour because I don't drag a fight for more than 10 minutes.

I was brought out of my thoughts by the announcement made by the referee/host.

"Welcome to the black hole. Tonight's first fight will be between the Heartless and the Crusher." The loud cheers from the crowd could be heard everywhere.

I got up from my spot on the bar, give David - the bartender and the only person who isn't afraid of me at black hole. He is also the only person who tries to be my friend - my bag and made way towards the ring. I entered the ring at the same time as Crusher and the people in here are cheering so loud that I think I have lost my hearing.

"You know the rules. No weapons and no killing, you can either tap out or get knocked out. So let the fight begin." The referee said and guess what I can still hear everything, I am not deaf. Thank heavens.

I zoned out everything outside the ring and focused on my opponent the Crusher but he seems to be eye raping me.

To shake him out of his staring I threw a quick punch on his nose.

"You bitch!" He yelled.

I didn't answer just hopped from one foot to the other.

He lunged at me and did a left hook, I blocked it with my right hand and gave him a kick on his right knee.

He staggered a bit but recovered quickly and tried to give me a punch on my stomach.

I dodged it and did a left hook then right hook. Which gave him pain and gave me enough time to do roundhouse kick on his head.

He was out cold just in 5 minutes from when the fight started.

After all my fights were done by 12 and I won 6000$ from my fights.

I take my bag from David - I am not in the mood to talk - and go outside from the black hole into the alleyway and walk 2 blocks to get to my baby, Zander.

Zander is my black Ducati 1089 with strips of red.

I get on Zander and start driving to my place.

I arrived at 1 p.m because after my fights I like to just ride through the night with breeze tickling my face and also to see that no body is following me.

My house is not too big just a 2 story house with basement, front lawn, pool and a few swings in the backyard.

Basement has 2 rooms. Gym and game/movie room.

On 1st floor is kitchen laundry and my bedroom with closet and ensuit.

On 2nd floor is my music and dance room and guest bedroom with ensuit and closet. And another extra bathroom.

And a terrace as well. The terrace is divided in two sections, half is garden with swings and half is jacuzzi.

I park my baby in the garage and enter the house using my keys. I go straight to my room. My room is black, grey and red in colour.

I go to my closet and remove some clothes to reveal a secret safe. Inside the safe is a box, I put my earnings in the box and keep it back in it's place I will count it on Monday.

I took out all my piercings and left them on the side table, like I always do before taking a shower.

I go to the bathroom and start my bathing routine. I brush my teeth, take a quick shower, shaved and wrap a towel around myself. I go to my closet and pick out a blue hoodie I stole from Carter and wear it, it's so big on me it reaches my thighs. I walk out from the closet and land on my bed face first and quickly fell asleep.

I wake up and see that I am late for school. No breakfast for me today.

I quickly go to the bathroom and start my morning routine. I brush my teeth and do my business. Then I go to my closet and put on black shorts, tank top and my black leather jacket with black knee high boots. I put on my brow, lip, nose, ears, tongue and belly button piercings. All of them are black except tongue which is red.

I go to my bathroom and brush my hip length long black hair with streaks of red and put it on a messy bun on top of my head. Then I apply eyeliner, mascara to pop my storm grey eyes and little bit of lip balm.

I look at myself to see 2 of my tattoos are on full display on my leg.

I come back to reality and go to my garage. I drive above speed limit to go to Lake Valley High School.

Let the stares begin.
