Hazel's P.O.V

I felt my heartbeat rising as I realized Arthur was here. He had returned. I ignored him. I could feel his stares at me. It made the butterflies erupt in my stomach. I wanted him not to recognize me, I don't know why.

"You are good bro!" Guess he didn't know it was a girl, leave alone knowing it was me...

I ignored him again. I didn't even wanna speak with him. I thought I was now over him, but seeing him reminded me his lies, his cheating, his eyes when I caught his prank. I was still hurt and angry.

"Let's have a practice dual warm up! You seem good!" He said as he climbed in and placed himself in position. 

I looked at him with a 'are you serious?' look and just... ignored him. Anyways I was not allowed to fight with guys or anyone. I came here because to forget him, I had to bring back a part of my past, even if it hurt the most. 

"Hey, come on! I challenged you openly! What type of fighter are you if you turn it down?" he mocked. 

This time I lost it. Was he so stupid that he open challenged me? Fine! Have it your way! I groaned as I placed myself in position. He had me angry and annoyed and frustrated over the limit!

He started so slow. I could practically see him in slow motion. He was better than this!

I dodged all of his punches and blew some at him. He managed to brush off some my way, but none powerful enough. I finally gave him the face-stomach punch. I suddenly regretted it. He knows that from me! Oh Shit!

Suddenly coach came over. Great! More trouble! Arthur apologized from my side; as if it helped! Over that coach even said I was a girl! Why... just why?!

As coach went away he just looked at me and said, "Hey! You were good! Sorry for getting you in trouble!" He grinned. That fucking perfect grin! UGH!

"I am used to it..." I murmured, not really interested in continuing the talk.

"I am Arthur! Arthur Jones! You are?" he asked eagerly. I just scoffed internally as I walked away.

 "I asked you nicely! It is a fucking courtesy! No need for you to be rude!" He was offended! Whoa! I offended him! YES!

I just kept walking away, enjoying him losing it. He suddenly grabbed my arm. I glared hard at him, "Let. Me. Go." I said in a threatening voice. He just pulled me towards me until we were inches apart. He quickly pulled up my helmet. I could see the look in his eyes change from anger to shock. 

He let go of me quickly.

"Don't try to force yourself on me ever again Arthur Jones!" I hissed.

"It is you... I fought with you!" he blurted out.

"No. You didn't fight. I kicked your ass. In the fight and in my life." I smirked. He didn't take any offence. 

He was just studying me. "You have changed..." He said sadly.

I felt a crack in my heart. I felt... sad? NO! I quickly shook away the feeling.

"I had promised I would. I don't break them!" I retorted back as I walked away, not giving him any chance to reply. But he didn't even try to. He was just standing there. I quickly got in my car and drove away. I turned up the volume to full. 

I tried to hum along, but I just couldn't focus. As I reached my room, I saw Keith, Gina and Emma seated. They were playing monopoly.

"You guys?" I asked.

"Emma called..." Keith said pointing at her. 

"I saw Arthur go to his boxing ring, and I knew you were there too. So I realized that you would be needing us when you come back!" Emma smiled.
