Born With Power

10. Fighting With the Past

*Theodoras POV*

Ding-Ding Ding

As the coach rang the bell everyone started fighting.Alessandro and I held fighting positions and we both looked at each other trying to anticipate each other's first move. 

Realizing he was waiting for me I quickly made the first move throwing a quick jab at him. He stumbled back surprised by my fast hit and he realized I was not as easy as he thought. 

He tried making a couple of hits but I quickly dodged them. I could tell he was getting angry and not to mention embarrassed considering that other teams were starting to surround our mat, after finishing their own match. 

After his many failed attempts to hit me, it was as if you could see the steam coming out of his ears, then finally reaching his breaking point, he threw a quick uppercut at my jaw. But I wasn't quick enough to dodge this hit...BAM, that one hurt. 

If my dad would have seen that he would have been disappointed... to say the least. After Alessandro hit my jaw I saw a flash of guilt on his face but he quickly dismissed it as continued on with trying to beat me. 

'Too late for him now' I thought as I zoned in on Alessandro. I blocked out all the noises and distractions around me. I focused on Alessandro, thinking of him as nothing more than my opponent. 

After his missed attempts to hit me, I started noticing the habit of his muscle twitching right before making a move. Game over for him. 

I threw a right hook and he quickly recovered with a jab at my cheek, which was defiantly gonna leave a bruise. A series of "ooh's" and "oww's" could be heard through the crowd surrounding our mat. 

Realizing it wasn't gonna end soon if I didn't do something I quickly swiped his foot making him fall to the ground, but he too was quick and used his foot to swipe me right back. He quickly got on top of me and tried to throw a punch at my face, but I saw his twitch and moved just in time for his hard punch to hit the ground. 

I quickly rolled him so I was on top of him, and noticed his surprise look sketched on his face,  I'm not going to lie the sexual tension was through the roof at this point. 

I smirked at him and said my signature phrase I used to say when I would fight, "lights out love" and with that, I threw a series of hard punches until I knew he was out. 

I used to say it whenever I fought with my opponents. I knew it was kinda overkill, but it was funny to me, and not to mention it accidentally became my signature phrase when I used to fight in the underground fight clubs of Italy, but that's a story for another time. 

I stood up and started to make my way over to the locker room to change into some new clothes. The stunned and amazed looks from the other students didn't surprise me though, people always seemed to underestimate me, quite infuriating to be honest. 

Just as I was finished changing in what I thought was the Empty locker rooms the same girl from earlier Mira, came over to me and started rambling, "That was so cool, like no one ever beets Alessandro. He's been undefeated since you came along. If you umm, want to sit with me at lunch tomorrow that would be cool, I usually just sit with my brother and his friends but it would be nice to sit with someone else," she said while scratching the back of her head chuckling nervously.

 Seeing how nervous she was I smiled at her and said: "Thank you, Mira, I would love to."

She looked relieved and continued on "Ok cool, well I'll meet you outside the lunch-hall tomorrow. Ok yeah, umm bye see you tomorrow," Mira said while walking hastily away and waving. I waved back and headed back to the parking lot so I could drive back to the dorms.
