She's A Fighter

12. David Guy

Today's Saturday. I'm glad I don't need to go to school after everything that happened yesterday. Today I plan to hang out with Alex at the Blackstorm.

I used to hang out there a lot then. I wonder is there a new champion now. After I changed my pajamas, I did my homework. I started to worried about Mrs Johnson's assignment. Should I apologize to Jess for my behavior yesterday?

Suddenly, my phone rang. The phone address is not written in my contact and I didn't seem to recognize the number.

I stared at my phone wondering whether I should pick it up or not. At first, I decided to ignore it but eventually, the curiosity get over me, so I pick it up.

"Hello?" I could only hear the sound of someone breathing heavily instead of answering me.

"Hello? Who's there?" Then only I realized it's a prank from someone but somehow I could hear a rusty voice I believed belongs to a man.

"Charlotte..." My body became numb at the moment he called my name.

"Michael. What do you want? Can you just leave me alone? I gave up on you a long time ago so can we pretend not to know each other and start moving on?"

"Is that really what you want?" He sighted.

"Yes. That's exactly what I want." I answered as my tear drop on my lap.

"Listen. You have all the right to be upset but please let me explain this whole thing to you later." Before I can let my word coming out of my mouth, he hung up the phone.

While I was in my couch crying like crazy, I felt a warm pat on my back. When I turned around I saw him.

"Alex!"

"Hey. I bought you your favorite ice cream flavor, chocolate." He smiled sincerely.

I smiled at him back. I know he's always there for me.

"I'm not a kid anymore you know? I'm a teenager now. I don't need an ice cream to cheer my mood up."

"Oh really? Then I think I should eat them up before it melt since you refuse this poor ice cream right, kiddo?"

"Screw you. Give me that! "

"Oh I won't"

"Give it to me" Alex tiptoed so that I can't reach for the ice cream since he's much taller than me.

Eventually, the ice cream melt, and he gave it to me. I didn't complain much since I have to eat it quickly. Without my knowing, Alex took a pic of me eating that ice cream. I kept begging him to delete the pic because it's ugly, but he said he won't.

After we done fooling around, Alex drove me to the Blackstorm. When we arrived, we went straight to the Blackstorm's bar to have a drink. Since I'm still underage to drink alcohol, Alex ordered me some coke drink. We were talking to each other when we realize Darryl, approached us.

"Hey Darryl!" I greeted him. "Hey Charlotte. Hey Alex, my man!" He greeted us as soon I did it too.

"Is there any news about Luke Aaron?" Alex asked Darryl.

My heart skip a beat at the moment I heard his name. I'm sure Alex must have asking Darryl to know what Luke's up to since he's a gang leader.

"I don't know man. But if I'm not mistaken, I've heard a conversation between his people when they're hanging out here three days ago. They're going to have a fight with a gang from other side next Monday."

Next Monday we suppose to have school. I started to worry about Luke. What if he's injured like before?

"Hey Darryl, I heard there's a new champion. Would you mind telling me his name?" I quickly change the topic.

"Oh, it's a guy name David." Answered Darryl. "Can I know where he is now?"

"Sure. You can even fight with him."

I look at Alex and he nodded.

"Bring it on." I smirked.

"Alright, listen up everyone! We will  now having another battle between our former Queen, Charlotte and our new King, David!"

So this is David. He looks familiar but I don't remember where I've seen him. He has a soft-looking brown hair color and a piercing sea blue eyes which remind me of someone.

"In three...two...one... The battle begin!"
