Cherish

"Next up, we have a newbie. Brought by... Ryder!"A man yelled over a loud speaker. Ryder gave me some gloves and I went down the ladder. When I got down there I saw a blond headed girl smirking at me.

"Easy..." She muttered under her breath. I heard her over everyone. I rolled my eyes and got into a regular stance.

"Go!" The man yelled. We started circling each other. She lunged at me putting all her weight on her right foot. She did it a couple more times missing, but always putting her weight on the same foot.

She went forward again and I went down making my foot connect with her right leg. She went over forward tripping and landing on her face. I laughed a bit, but stopped when I realized everyone was quiet and could hear me. Ryder looked at me with an emotion I couldn't describe in his eyes.

When I looked back at the girl she was off the ground. Her eyes looked darker than they were before. She ran at my, but I simply ducked under her.

"YOU BITCH!" She screamed at me. She ran forward. I kicked her in the stomach and punched her in the face a few times. She whimpered and fell to the ground.

"We have a winner!" The guy with the microphone annoced. I saw Ryder look at me and start clapping along with everyone else. Everything seemed perfect in that moment.

Then I remembered... I had to go home.
