My Little Fighter

Chapter 8

Amelia

Immediately after Carson came in, the other two guys, Elijah and Braden followed.

If the three of them are here then Jace is too.

There's no way anyone from school, especially them can know what I do. And how do they even know about that place?

"Look Mia I would love listening to the rest of your story but I really really have to go. Like now." I rushed while pulling the hood on my head and pulling the strings.

"But I was just getting to the interesting part."

"I'm sorry but it's really urgent."

"Fineee but next time you come I'll finish it."

As soon as she finished her sentence, I tried to Usain Bolt my ass from this place but things never seem to go my way. I just had to bump into someone. This someone being Braden.

"Oh sorry mate didn't see you there." He said but I didn't dare look up, I instead tried to move past him but God had other plans as Elijah stopped me by gripping my arm.

"What's up dude. My boy just said sorry, the least you could do is answer
or at least look him in the eyes man."

Damn, did I really look this much like a guy?

I muttered nonsense as if to show that I was saying something then sped towards the door, not missing the questioned glance Jace had on his face. I felt his eyes bore through me the entire time but there was no way he figured out it was me right?

I collected the money people bet on me. Wow this looks enough to pay the rent and buy something to Luke. His birthday was coming up so I had to do something.

Once home, I took a long freezing shower (I'm still trying to get used to it) and changed into some baggy shirt and sweatpants. I grabbed my dinner which consisted of a banana then finished off some last minute project and finally went to bed at around 2:45 in the morning.

Next Saturday came around really fast and school was pretty uneventful this week, if you exclude Jace's weird stares.

It was starting to get very annoying. He would look at me trying to figure me out. Like boy, you wanna talk to me, just come.

Today was my "date" with Josh if you could call it that and we've been talking a bit these past few days. I had to train a bit less because exams were coming up, but I still saw him like once or twice.

"Oh my god oh my god my baby is going on a date. FINALLY."Hannah said way too excited.

"Calm down dude, it's not this big of a deal."

"I ship you guys, even tho Jace is kinda cute too you know." She wiggles her eyebrows suggestively.

Of course this girl knew everything that happened between Josh and Jace too. I mean how could I not tell her since we spend so much time together?

But after this I think I learned my lesson. Never tell her you're going on a date.

When she asked me about my plans for tonight and I told her I was busy, she pressed me to tell her what was it since she knew I had no fights, and I pretty much have no other friends.

Let's say she kinda went ballistic.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner! I could've landed you a dress or something."

"It's fine Hannah. Besides, he told me to dress casually."

"Give me twenty minutes." She litteraly ran out of the door and came back exactly twenty minutes later.

"Quick, we have only thirty minutes left. Put this on. I don't wanna hear any complains."

I grabbed the clothes she handed me. It was a pair of black skinny ripped jeans, a cute white sweater and some boots. I gotta admit, this outfit was super nice and it was comfy.

"Now for hair and makeup-"

"Hannah, you know I don't do makeup."

"Well now you do so sit your ass on that chair and let me work my magic."

I sat down with a huff and turned on my phone to play some random game.

"And we're all done." Hannah clapped with a small smile on her face.

"Oh." Damn girl, i went from a 3 to a 6 or 7. My hair were bouncing in their natural curls and I had some mascara, concealer blush and lipgloss on. I just discovered what a lash curler was and believe me, this thing looks like a torture machine.

"No need to thank me Ames. Even I would turn lesbian for you."

As I was rolling my eyes at her comment, my phone rang. It was a text from Josh

Josh :) :"Hey Amy, see you in ten at the movie. Can't wait xx"
Me : See you xx

This small text made me blush and I was kind of nervous about this. What if I ruin everything, or even worse, I could puke on him or something, he is a really sweet guy. I could- Oh no...

"Ames stop creating scenarios that won't happen, just take a deep breath, everything's going to be fine."

Okay, I can do this. I'm looking cute, and all will go perfectly.

Nope, I can't do this. I got there five minutes earlier and I was texting Hannah, making sure she doesn't kill Luke while looking after him.

Suddenly, I felt someone come from behind me and encircle my waist so I immediately turned around, about to hit the attacker when I realized it was none other than Josh.

"Oh my god Josh I'm so sorry." I said while hugging him

"Perks of dating a fighter I guess." He said while chuckling.

Dating? Oh okay then.

"Come on, the movie's about to start."

"What are we going to watch?"

"The conjuring 2"

"Oh so you chose a horror movie so that i can clung to your arm while you protect me?" I said with a chuckle.

"You look like someone who'd be scared so yeah." He smiled

"Pffff what? I never get scared."

"We'll see about that little girl."

"I'm not little Josh, I'm litteraly 5'9"

"I'm still taller than you, so you're my little girl." He winked.

"Let's just go in."

As we were about to take our seats in the movie theater, I turned around to say something to J- wait what?

Why the hell was Jace here?!
