Connection ~ (Highschool AU - Catradora)

Chapter 37

Catra's POV

TW// VIOLENCE AND MENTIONS OF BLOOD (Sorry I never did this in previous chapters. My bad.)

My heart pounded through my chest as the blaring noise of the whistle filled throughout the stadium and into my ear. My ear twitched at the sound as I stared straight at my opponent, the once scared boy had a glare in his eyes.

My eyes widened at that as his fist clenched aiming right towards my face. For some reason, my reaction time was off and as he threw the punch, I was just barely able to miss it. I ducked under him and aimed for his legs.

Right as I was about to grab his legs, he was one step ahead of me. He lifted his knee and hit me right in the nose, causing me to fly back a little and land straight onto my face. I groaned and attempted to get up quickly but the hit got me winded so fast.

I was clearly not prepared enough for this.

I felt my leg being tugged around, making my body being dragged around the rough mattress. Several burns occurring as each rough tug skidded across my arms and knees. I extended my claws and ripped them into the mattress, the skidding stopping. Now that I was practically connected to the mat, I forced my foot forward. The force making his grip on my leg loosen. I took that opportunity to force my foot backward this time to kick him right in the face.

With luck on my side, I was able to land a hit on him right in the nose, a loud crack echoing around us even with the roaring cheers and screams it was still heard.

A bunch of, 'ooo' or curse words were being shared as everyone processed what had happened. I just broke the guy's nose.

I scrambled to my feet and faced him, watching him clutch his nose as blood seeped out. I slowly walked up to him and grabbed his shirt, a squealing reaction came from him. I held him up and stared at him.

I was about to put him down but right as I was about too, he headbutted me right in the forehead. Our heads basically crashing together.

"What the fuck!" I groaned, holding my forehead feeling something go down my forehead other than sweat. I brought my hand to the side of my temple and looked at my fingertips.

Shit, I was bleeding.

I growled and looked at him once again, noticing that the blow didn't just get me affected. He was on the ground rolling and clutching his forehead.

"Dumb decision dude" I chuckled lowly, rounding to the side of him and placing my foot to the side of his cheek.

I decided to not hold back and smash my foot right into the middle of the cheek, the force was definitely hard enough to break the skin. I tried to not break a bone in there, but I may have been a bit too rough since yet another grueling cracking sound was heard.

A yelp of pain and cries was the only thing left that he was able to do or say.

I looked over at the referee who had a stoned expression as if he has seen enough of this. Who even is this dude? He's just casually watching a bunch of people getting beat up without an issue.

This whole place is messed up.

The only thing the referee did when I looked at him was a simple nod and held up a flag to my side of the mattress.

"Catra wins. Medical bay, carry him out. Please proceed to the main office and get patched up. You are admitted to leaving once you sign out" The monotone voice explained, still holding up the flag.

I exhaled and nodded, giving Van one last look. He looked like he was in pain, sniffling, and choking on sobs. I felt bad for him.

I decided to kneel and hold my hand out to him, "Good game?"
