His first punch sent the larger boy flying across the canvas. As much as she liked to pretend she didn't care, that this didn't bother her, that she was unaffected, her head snapped away at the sound of that first connection. A scream guttural and animalistic rose from the crowd, she felt her response the lurch of her stomach, her heart thumping, the wave of adrenaline and nausea. She was surrounded by the hot sweaty excited crowd but she was utterly alone, she had no friends here apart from the wiry boy standing over his prone opponent. Even he would leave without her, unless he left this place carried bloody and unconscious like the last time.
The boy on the floor was immune to the sound of the crowd, he was raising himself from bloody filthy material shaking his head to clear his vision, confident in the knowledge that everyone else in this place was cheering for him. She watched him though, he wasn't looking towards his opponent who had knocked him over, or the crowd that was chanting his name, his eyes were searching. She watched as they rested on a girl in the far corner of the room beside the door. Tall and brunette, she was wearing a short skirt, high heels, a tiny tight shirt and long hoop earrings. She was completely out of place in this room, and it was no wonder the boy's eyes had found her easily. Looking between them though it was obvious the brunette wasn't watching the fight, or the boy who searched for her, her eyes were drawn to the group of professor's surreptitiously placing bets on the two boxers. A slight smile played on the brunettes face as she ran her hand across her body, provocatively she wondered.
Another crack filled the room, followed by a cheer as the larger boy got a good punch in and she forgot the brunette as her mind filled with the horror of the fight again. Despite herself she had to watch with grim fascination, till the fight was finally stopped by the referee and the boys shook hands. When she spun around to look for the Brunette, but the mini-skirted girl was gone, as were the professors.
