She's A Fighter

13. The Fight, Him

I step forward. Smirked as soon as I notice how he could barely stand with his left leg injured. I guess it's from his last fight. I can win with his condition like that. I approached him slowly as his eyes scanned my body in such an obvious way. I came and punched him on the face but somehow he managed to dodged it. Even so, that doesn't stop me from winning.

I kept on trying desperately to hit him at least once but I kept on failing. He is the strongest I've ever fight with. Every time I have a chance to punch him, he always managed to dodge it, and he can block my kick.

After some time, I realized. He never attack me. It's always me who did that. What's wrong with him? Does he think I'm weak that he don't even have to attack me? Oh, I'll make sure you'll change your mind about that. It's about time to get serious.

I did a roundhouse kick around him hoping that he would fall so that I'll have the chance to finish him right after that. Then I realized, my plan does not work because when I did roundhouse kick, he jumped to avoid it.

Suddenly, I heard Alex's voice, "Come on Charlotte, I know you can win this!"

With a disappointment took over myself, I sidekick him once again but this time, on his injured left leg. I'm sure he did not see that coming that's why he fell to the ground and roar in pain. My lips curled into a smirk when I saw that. Now my percentage to win has increased. Within three minutes, after he comprehended the pain on his leg, he managed to stand again. What a surprise. If I was him, I will give up and end our fight.

"You kept on dodge and blocking but why didn't you attack me?" I asked him but he didn't answer. It's like talking to the wall.

"You ask for it."

I quickly approached him and knee his stomach but that didn't seem to affect him at all. I'm out of idea. I've fought him with all the skills I have but I still can't win. Suddenly, I can hear he said

"That's it. You win..." What the hell? Are you serious? You let me win? I was about to give up a minutes ago but now you let me win? I can hear the crowd were mad at him for doing this.

"You heard me. You win, love."

Oh my god! I just realized it was him. This voice... It belongs to him! Why can't I call it from the start? He teared a mask that he put on his bloody gorgeous face and smirked at me.

"Why are you doing this, Luke?" I yelled that this whole place became silent.

"You see, it's hard to go out somewhere with people around know me, so I disguised so that I can see what was my people are doing this whole time." He said with his eyes glued to a group of people I assumed to be his people.

They approached him saying, "We're so sorry boss, we didn't mean to..."

Their word was cut by Luke, "Starting from this moment, I'll take back my words that I can put my trust on you guys. Now, get lost!" Luke said while narrowing his eyes to them, and they leave this place with hurry.

I'm standing still without move, witnessed this whole scene. "Charlotte..." Luke called my name gently "What a great fight. Will see you again at school. Goodbye!"

Time froze as Alex ran to me

"Charlotte! Are you okay?" asked Alex coming in my way.

"Yes. I'm perfectly fine." I answered him.

"Let's get out of here." Alex reached for my hands and dragged me into his car and drove me to my place.

"Char..." Alex's voice finally breaks the silence. "How do you know Luke?"

God! There are millions, thousands and even trillion of question in this world but why did he have to ask me this one?

"He's just a friend from school. We shared a few class together." I faked a smile. "Why do you ask?" I asked him.

"Is that so? Char, please stay away from him. No matter what, don't get involve in his life at all, you got me? He's too dangerous." Alex warn me severely. Somehow I could feel that he's shaking but I don't know why.

"Don't worry, Alex. I won't."

The next day, I went to school. From the moment I step in the school properties, all eyes were on me until Maybelle came.

"Charlotte, what happened?" Maybelle asked me.

"What do you mean by that" I asked her cluelessy.

"Don't act innocent, Charlotte. Yesterday? The fight? Luke Aaron? Everyone knew." she explained.

"Oh no!" I said in shock.

"Yes. Now tell me the truth"

I sighted and nodded my head

"You're right. I'm a fighter. I'm sorry I never tell you this."
