"And the winner is Athena." everyone around the shabby boxing ring cheers for me. I stay in the ring and wait for someone to volunteer as my next opponent. Generally its men that are new to underground fighting and think that because I'm a girl they can beat me easy peasy. I look around the crowd, Adrenalin pumping through my veins from that last fight. My ribs kind of sting since I copped a pretty good rib kick, which is probably gonna bruise, but I'm ready to fight again.

Finally someone grows some balls and volunteers to fight. This guy looks around 25, maybe 5'7 and he looks like he has and ego that needs to be destroyed. He climbs into the ring and winks at me, then he makes a sexual gesture towards me which pisses me off so much, this guy is going down.

We both walk to the middle of the ring to the umpire, he lays down the rules and then steps back. 'Ding Ding Ding.' the bell sounds and the fight starts. I dodge a couple of jabs that the guy sends my way, I step forward and deliver a body shot to his ribs and an uppercut to the jaw. He groans in anger and pain, then throws a left hook to my cheek. My head whips to the side and the metallic taste of blood erupts into my mouth. I stumble backwards slightly and then regain my stance. I look at the guy and roundhouse kick him in the head, I take a step forward and come down on his skull with an over arm elbow.

He falls to the floor groaning in pain but stands up as quickly as he can. He falls backwards and lands on the ropes of the ring, he grabs onto them and tries to stable him self. I watch this in amusement, once he is stable, he charges at me like a maniac, with blood pouring down his face. I step to the side and grab his head and neck in the choker hold, I hold him there for a few seconds when the umpire grabs me and pulls me off. He takes whoever that guy was out of the ring towards the medics.

When the umpire hops back into the ring, he holds both of my fists out in front of me, he does some thing to make sure I'm okay and then he lifts my hand into the air "Athena wins again" He yells and the crowd goes wild. I shake his hand and step down out of the ring to let some other people have a shot. I walk over to my boxing bag and pull my phone out, 10:30pm. I better get home.

I pick my bag up, put my hoodie on and walk towards the exit, but not without my winnings. A few people congratulate me when I walk past them.

I'm about to walk out the door when a hand wraps around my arm, I turn around and gasp. "Callum?" I ask in shock. Oh no he's gonna tell everyone "Hah I knew it was you dollface, So you're a street fighter aye. I didnt expect that. Wait until I tell everyone." He whispers slyly. I grab him by his hair and pull him into one of the changing rooms.

"If you tell anyone I'll-" I don't get to finish my sentence because I get slammed agianst a wall. "You'll what? Beat me up, doll I could beat you in a fight any day." He tells me. I shove at his chest and he moves back slightly, but not enough for me to free myself. He chuckles at my attempt but I keep trying. Eventually I stop and look up at him

"Let me go." I demand but he just pins me down further. "I said let me go." I knee him in the balls and he groans, but for some reason I don't think that was a groan of pain. What if he tells someone about me.

I freeze in my spot and look up at him "Please don't tell." I plead."No one knows I do this". He smirks down at me and goes to say something when the door to the change room opens. Calum forces his lips onto mine and then bring his hand to cover my mouth. He turns to whoever it is that walked in and yells at them "Can't you see we are in the middle of something." I hear a mumbled sorry and then the door closes. Calum takes his hand off of my mouth and the pressure he is putting on my body lets off a little. I take this chance and punch him in the face, not hard enough to bruise but hard enough
To shock him.

Callum takes a few steps back and I run over to grab my stuff. I turn around to run to the door only to see Callums already there, and he looks amused...
