The Blake Project: Book 2

Chapter 11

Blake's POV

"Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight" I heard the heated crowd chant as I slowly emerged from the locker rooms.

This is probably the only fight that I'm slightly nervous for. I haven't met my opponent so I'm coming into the ring blind which isn't a good strategy at all. Usually once I talk to the person I know their weakness, but in this fight I have nothing.

As I stepped foot onto the mat I saw my opponent. I've never seen him before in my life. Hopefully he's new so that it'll be easy for me to win.

"Stevens" the ref called me receiving lots of cheers.

I smiled and waved to the crowd knowing that most of them are on my side.

"Smith" the ref called the name of the other guy

I noticed how he received a few cheers in the mix of boos but shook it off.

I'm better than him.

We shook hands and waited for the ref to start. The ref signaled his hand up and yelled fight making me instantly go into game mode.

I followed every step he made and block all of hits while putting in a few myself. I was about to finish him off when something in the corner of my eye stopped me.

I looked over at the person and confirmed that they were actually standing there but soon regretted it after receiving a big blow to my face, snapping me back into the fight. I shook my thoughts of the person and continued fighting.

I ended up winning the first and second round making me automatically win since it's best out of three. I shook Smith's hand once more and thanked the ref before searching the crowd for the specific person who almost cost me the fight.

I searched the place high and low but I found no trace of them. I frustratingly sighed as I made my way back into the locker room to change.

"That was amazing Blake!" I heard Henry cheer as I took off my shirt.

"Thanks, did you by chance see- oh never mind" I said shaking my head.

"I can't believe Eric hasn't come to one yet, he's missing out." Henry continued not hearing my last comment

"Maybe because when I sent you two my schedule you basically told him that you got it covered" I laughed as I picked up my bag.

"Hey how else am I going to know you're ok if I'm not here myself?" Henry asked as we left the locker room and into the now deserted fighting room.

"Damn they left in a rush" Henry said

"I think there's another fight down the road so everyone probably headed over there" I answered him

We continued walking to the door but stopped when I heard a crunching noise coming from the bottom of my shoe. I lifted my right foot and saw a slightly broken bracelet and smiled.

"What's that?" Henry asked picking it off the ground

"A bracelet you twit" I said as I grabbed it from his hands

"Well do you know who owns it? You're smiling so I'm guessing you do" Henry said waiting for me to answer

"Let's just say that this sucker, is going to come in handy" I said before shoving it in my pocket.

"So what do you want to do to celebrate?" Henry asked not interested in the bracelet anymore.

Henry was the one who drove me here so might as well take advantage of that and make him my driver for the night.
