hey guys sorry for not updating for so long :(anyways this chapter is only about half of my usual size but i had the worst writer's block and i couldn't figure out exactly where i wanted the story to go so i had been wrestling with myself about it for the past 2 weeks and i finally decided but then it took me even longer to write it! i know, i suck at updating schedules but anywho i hope you enjoy!
"But... sir, I can't fight a girl!" Coach Hedge mind as well have hit Percy over the head with his clipboard; it would have hurt less than the look Percy got. "Jackson," his eye twitched "are you... scared?" Percy blushed and stuttered "No sir, of course not sir."Coach grunted "Well, then guess there won't be a problem." Percy glanced at me "No sir, of course not sir" Coach Hedge looked satisfied "NOW GET YOUR BUTTS IN THE RINGS AND MOVE IT CUPCAKES" And I started my death march to the middle of the ring.
I may not have the muscle that Percy has but I do have a brain. It's obvious I won't be able to beat him with pure strength so I will have to be faster and more agile. "Hey Smartass," I looked at Percy who was grinning "go easy on me, will you?" There were a couple snickers from his side of the room. I smirked "Hey Seaweed Brain! When will you get it? I'm never making things easy on you!" "Seaweed Brain?" his face was amused "Yeah, your head is obviously filled to the brim with seaweed. You have demonstrated this with your inability to foresee consequences to your actions." I smirked and his eyebrows raised "Whatever you say Wise Girl."
We both stepped into the middle of the ring. His eyes are locked and hands are ready,but he looks down at my legs. Almost too quick for me to catch. Almost. I hold a smirk back. He's going to go low. So I'm going to have to go high. "OKAY CUPCAKES! YOU WILL GO UNTIL THE OTHER PERSON TAPS, IS UNCONSCIOUS OR DEAD." my eyes widen slightly at the last one. "READY!" I bring my hands to my face to protect it "FIGHT!" As I hoped Percy was very predictable because he dived for my legs, and to his surprise, I slipped out of his grip doing an aerial right over his back. Right after I land I turn around to his fist hitting my jaw and I started falling backwards but rolled out of it, doing an extension kicking him in the chin. He started just randomly taking swings at me, it was obvious he was starting to get frustrated and worn out. No matter what he tried I was always one step ahead of me. Sweat beads on his forehead and I get tired of playing defense so I start throwing my own kicks and punches and I somehow get him on the ground and start kicking him in the stomach. I can see the pain in his eyes and I can feel myself tearing up. I don't like hurting another person, but what choice do I have?
He needs to tap. He has to. Please tap soon I pray before I do any serious damage. But he catches my ankle as I'm throwing a kick and my feet go out from under me and suddenly he's on my back. "I'm sorry" he whispers in my ear before I feel my arm go into some kind of arm lock. I realize what is happening too late. I her a dull crack and my arm explodes with pain and I cry out "AAAHHH!"
anyway please don't hate me! i know this is shorter than my regular chapters but i needed to get something up. i hope to update soon so please r&r and love y'all!
