Chapter 1
Authors note: Hey guys, so I've had this idea to do a fic about Kacey and her time in America. I hope you enjoy, and leave a review so I know what you guys think :) don't worry, I'm still carrying on with my other fic, 'love hurts'. My own characters have their mentions, so if you get a bit confused about who they are, just read my bio :D
Kacey POV
The heat, it was unlike anything I've ever experienced. It hit me like a ton of bricks as soon as I got of the plane. The drive to the camp from the airport wasn't too long, well to be honest I don't know because I was too amazed by the sights of Miami. The taxi driver got my luggage out of the car and I thanked him, before wheeling my luggage away. I looked up at the camp, there was a big sign saying, 'Miami girls, boxing training camp.' I felt a smile spread onto my face, I was finally here! I opened the door and tried to get all my bags through, but struggled slightly.
"Oh here, let me help you." A man, in his mid twenties, got up out of his seat behind the desk to help Kacey.
"Thanks." Kacey smiled.
"Can I have your name?" The man asked, in his American accent. Once he was seated again.
"Kacey Barry." Kacey replied, the man did some typing on the computer.
"Ah, okay Kacey, you're in room 26, on the second floor." He smiled.
"Okay, erm, do I need a key or anything?"
"No, that won't be necessary, you're roommate is already there." The man informed.
"Oh, okay, well thanks for your help sir." Kacey smiled politely.
"You're welcome Kacey, and please, call me Michael." Michael told her.
"See you around, Michael." Kacey called over her shoulder, heading for the lift.
Kacey POV
I got off on the second floor, I walked along the corridor looking for number 26. I finally found it and opened the door. There was a girl, already unpacking. She had red hair, she was quite tall, very pretty and she had various piercings on her ears.
"Hi, I'm Kacey, you must be my roommate?"
"Yeah, I'm Emma, nice to meet you Kacey." The first thing Kacey picked up on was her Manchester accent.
"You're from Manchester." Kacey stated.
"Yeah, why?" Emma asked, laughing nervously.
"Oh, it's just my mate back down in Scotland, Paisley, she's from Manchester too. You kind of remind me of her." Kacey explained.
"Oh," Emma laughed. "Wait, did you say Scotland? You're not Scottish!" Emma giggled.
"No," Kacey laughed too, already feeling comfortable with Emma. "I moved from Liverpool to Scotland."
"Oh, okay," Emma said. "Just give us a minute to finish unpacking then I'll help you." Emma smiled.
"Cheers." Kacey returned the smile.
"So, how old are ya?" Emma asked, continuing with her packing.
"Fifteen, soon to be sixteen." Kacey answered.
"Cool, I'm sixteen, nearly seventeen." Emma replied.
"Cool." Kacey smiled.
"So, Kace...can I call you Kace?"
"Yeah sure." Kacey laughed.
"So, Kace," Emma continued. "How long you been boxing?"
"Not too long, I'm here to improve my skills and stuff."
"Really? Cos I'm here because my parents wanted to get rid of me." Emma said, her expression changing.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Kacey replied sadly.
"Only joking! Yeah, I'm here for the same reason as you mainly, and to meet some really cool girls and I've already met one." Emma winked at Kacey.
"Aww, thanks."
"Why did you take up boxing then?" Emma asked.
"To help control my anger," Kacey admitted. "What about you?"
"Well, they had this sports activities day at my school. These people from a local boxing club came and I really enjoyed it. That's when I knew it were something I wanted to do." Emma answered, smiling.
"Do you're mates support ya?"
"Yeah, they love the idea of having a best mate who can box." Emma said, Kacey couldn't tell if she was being sarcastic or not, she smiled anyway.
"Same here."
"Right, that's me done. Let's get you unpacked." Emma smiled, moving to the where Kacey's luggage was.
"You ever been to the states before?" Kacey asked while folding some of her clothes.
"Yeah, been a couple of times, first time in Miami though."
"Well, I've never been. So when I got off the plane, I thought I was in the Sahara desert or something!" Kacey exclaimed, causing Emma to laugh.
"You'll get used to it, besides, you're gonna be here for three months anyways!" Just then, there was a knock on their door.
"Come in!" Emma called.
"Hey girls, settling in well?" A man, very muscular, who must have been in his early thirties, entered the room.
"Yeah." Kacey smiled, still not sure of who the American man was.
"Good. Right girls, I'm coach Matthews. I'm head coach here, along with my other colleagues. I'm here to push you to the best of your ability, I'm a no bullshit kind of guy." Kacey was shocked that the coach would use strong language, but she liked him so far anyway.
"Nice to meet you coach." Emma smiled.
"You too, so what's your names?"
"I'm Emma, and this is Kacey." Emma introduced.
"Hi." Kacey smiled, shaking his hand.
"Emma and Kacey, welcome to the Miami girls boxing training camp. Listen, I know what girls are like, so there's a little get together tonight, a chance to get to know everyone. Come along, it'll be fun." Coach Matthews suggested.
"Yeah okay." Kacey nodded.
"I'll leave you guys to finish packing, nice meeting you."
"You too." Emma smiled, coach Matthews exited the room.
"He seems nice." Kacey smiled, getting back to unpacking.
"Yeah, but I've got my eye on Michael downstairs. He's quite fit, ain't he?" Emma raised her eyebrow.
"Omg, no! He's too old for ya! Even if he is a little fit." Kacey replied, saying the last bit more quietly.
"I hope he's at the party tonight!" Emma said excitedly.
"It's a little get together, remember?" Kacey laughed.
"Yeah, and me and Michael are gonna get together." Emma played on the words.
"You are something else!" Kacey laughed, chucking a pillow at her.
Kacey POV
Emma was really nice and easy to get on with. I was so worried about making friends here, but so far, it's proving easy. I couldn't wait to see what Miami holds for me.
