[Alyssa Pov]

It's been 3 days after that fight with the blonde guy.

I haven't been to the underground because i still have enough money for the rest of the week from the last fight.They did give me a lot of money since there was not a lot of people betting for the newbie.

I've been hanging out with Kayla and working my regular day job.

Today i need to go training with Alexis because she's mad at me for not keeping up with my training and ignoring her scolding.

I'm not ignoring her.I'm just too lazy to be bothered.

I know i don't really need training anymore since i know what i'm doing now but because i'm still trying to keep my momentum.Also i have to go training so that i don't become lazy and end up on my couch laying down like a potato that has nothing better to do but watch tv's the whole day.

Ok that's a bit over exaggerating.

When i decided that i need to go training now or i won't at all i started getting ready.

I'm wearing my regular workout clothes.You know the yoga pants,sport bra and my training shoes.And,Nope.I didn't forget my leather jacket.

I park my motorbike on the parking spot that i usually park at in front of the building and get upstairs.

I see Alexis sitting down on the bench but there's also a guy weight lifting in the corner.I open the door and get in.

I goes up to Alexis to ask her why is there a guy using the gym at this time because usually i'm alone with Alexis here.

Looking back at the guy,i can see his face clearly now and i realize that i recognize him.He's the one that came in to be a member here while i was stretching.

The rude guy.Yeah that one.Or the good looking guy..

I look back at Alexis while she simultaneously look up from her phone at me.She has that look  that looks like she's guilty of doing something she shouldn't.

"What is it Alexis?"I sigh and put my hands on my waist like i'm about to scold a child.

"I forgot to fetch my sister,would you be okay here with that guy?Please..i'm not going to take long time at all..I promise." She ask while showing me her pleading eyes.

I sigh and tell her to come back fast.

I actually just act like i'm disappointed so that she doesn't scold me for not going training.Or i would be getting a whole lecture about how my body is just going to collapse one day when i think i was good enough to fight without training then i'll be coming to her and cry my eyes out about how she was right and i'm wrong...bla bla blaaaaa..

First of all,i'd never do that.I would go to the hospital first then i'll come to see her.

As i was using the treadmill,i glance at the guy.

I mustered up my courage to ask him,his name.

"Hey,what's ur name?"

-Silent -

He just glance at me then keep weight lifting like i'm not here.

While i was murmuring some insult under my breath, he spoke up.

"Hayden" damn his voice

.........

I don't know what to ask more..gosh..what so i even say?

....This conversation is not awkward at all..

I think before realizing that i said it out loud.I could just feel my cheeks burning of embarrassment.

Why do i have to make it more awkward for myself?!

He just scoffed.

I continued to use the treadmill.Well i'm going to just act like we didn't have any conversation at all.

After i'm done with the treadmill,i walk to the punching bag and get my fist wraps.

"What's your name?" I heard him ask.

Well someone finally find his voice.Turning my back to look at him i said.

"Alyssa"

He nod.

"You just move here huh?" i ask, leaning on the wall watching him while also wrapping my hand with my the wraps.

He keep quiet since it's more of a statement than a question.

"You do boxing?" He ask me.

"Yea,do u?" I ask out of curiosity.

"I'm a street fighter"

Now i'm more curious.

"Do u still fight now?" I raised my eyebrows in question.

"I just put my name on a fighting place called 'underground' here 4 days ago"

Huh? isn't that the day Alexis ask me about the fight with the undefeated street fighter that just moved here.

My eyes widen with a realization.

"Are u the one that's fighting next week?"

"Yeah?" His tone is like he's weirded out by me asking.

"Oh,okay"

So he's the one fighting me next week huh.

The good looking guy.Im not gonna deny it ,he is very good looking.But he probably needs to talk more,or am i the one that talks a lot.

Whatever.

"Do u wanna fight with me here?"

He frowns "What?"

"I wanna see how good you are."

"Okay..." he stands up

I count "1...2..3"

We circle each other.No one of us wants to move first.I'm getting irritated so i just launch my fist to his cheek.He block my hit.It's been going like that for almost 5 minutes.He didn't do anything and i was getting mad now.Come on do something how can i know his full potential if he's not going to show me?!

"WHY AREN'T YOU FIGHTING BACK"I shout at him.

He didn't respond.

Then suddenly like he was just realizing what i was saying,he launch his fist to my stomach.

I hiss in pain.That's one powerful punch if i say so myself.

I was trying to tackle him down but he don't budge.

Is he made of steel or something!?

Then Alexis arrived.

She look between us and smirk towards me.

I roll my eyes.

He grab his bag and just leave before anyone could utter another word.

douche.
