Maya POV
My friends dragged me along to some stupid underground fighting rink. Sounds of people cussing and yelling from losing bets filled the air. "Yep! I'm going home!" I stated walking out towards the doors. When I was suddenly pulled back by my hood by my friend Anthony. "No you're not!" "Oh come on! It's not fun watching people beat the holy living shit out of each other." I whined. He scoffed "To you, I find it fun along with everyone else here!" He informed me. I rolled my eyes as he dragged me by my hood to the rest of our friends. I reluctantly followed hot on his trail.

My friend Victoria squealed in excitement. Ready for the fight to  begin. "I'm so curious about who's gonna fight tonight! I sure hope it's Xander Damon, he's so hot!" Tori swooned while fanning herself with her hands. Xander Damon. Why is that name familiar? I asked myself. Mikey cleared his throat. Mikey is Tori's boyfriend. "Not as hot as you baby!" She covered for herself. And Mikey smiled in approval. I folded my arms across my chest waiting for this thing to be over. Finally the announcer, announced "Now here we have Keith Flynn!" The people roared. "And," the announcer paused to create a dramatic effect "Xander Damon!" The crowd screamed even louder than the first time.

The fighters took their position. The announcer blew the whistle and who I assumed was Keith Flynn threw his fist at Xander Damon. Xander ducked and then punched Keith in the ribs. "That's gotta hurt!" I commented. Mickey nodded his head in agreement but didn't bother to look away from the fight. I focused my attention back to the fight. Keith was on the ground as Xander kicked him repeatedly in the ribs and face. Blood painted the ground. an finally after minutes of him getting the shit kicked out of him he tapped out. And the announcer yelled to the crowd "Xander Damon! Our undefeated champ!" "He's not that good, I bet I could kick his ass!" I muttered.

But apparently Anthony heard me cause he smirked and asked raising his eyebrows. "You wanna put money on that?" I smiled evilly "You forget that I took self defense classes and I'm a black belt in Taekwondo." "Do we have any challengers!" the announcer challenged all of us. Then Anthony raised my hand. "What the hell are you doing?" "I bet you a hundred bucks that you'll lose." I scoffed "Well then, pull out your wallet cause I'm about to beat this boys ass!" "We have a challenger!" the announcer said, almost scared for me. I walked towards the rink. People fell silent. But I stood tall and confident that I would win.

I pulled off my shirt and revealed a black sports bra and I was so happy that I wore spandex shorts today. I threw my shirt at Anthony's face. And walked towards the announcer. Xander looked at me. I raised my eyebrows while trying to figure out what he was thinking. "The fight will begin in a few moments to let the fighters stretch out!" The announcer yelled to the people in the crowd. I bent down to reach my toes and I could feel men staring at my ass. I began stretching out my arms. I looked up to see Xander Damon checking me out. I scolded him. And then his eyes met mine. He had beautiful green eyes.

He smiled and said from the rink "I'll go easy on you!" I laughed at him and then muttered so he couldn't hear "Its your funeral!" The announcer blew the whistle and Xander and I got into our fighting position. "I'll let you make the first hit." I ran at him full speed and punch him in the guy he leaned over I jumped up and then kicked him in between the neck and the shoulder. Which knocked the air out of him. I ran up to him again and he threw a punch my way I blocked it and he hit me in the gut. I bent over and he body slammed me to the ground. I bounced back up. And then tackled him rugby style to the ground and began to choke him out. "Tap out!" I demanded, as I struggled against his defiance to tap out.

"Tap out!" I said in a harsh tone of voice. And he tapped out. The crowd was in shock And I let him out of the choke hold. Then the announcer yelled in what seemed to be excitement "And we have a new winner!" The crowd was still in shock as I breath heavily. And then asked the announcer if I could borrow the microphone then yelled to Anthony who had his mouth in and 'o' shape "Anthony! You owe me a hundred bucks!" And the crowd laughed and then roared. I looked down to Xander Damon and his eyes were filled with admiration. He stood up off the ground. And walked towards me with his mouth wide open. When he finally composed himself he spoke "What's your name?" "Maya." I answered calmly. "Do you believe in love at first sight? Or do I need to walk by again..." He smirked and held out a hand for me to shake.
