He's so different…

Mikaela stared at her archenemy, giving him death glares. She secretly clenched her fists behind her back, waiting for a signal to fight. But it didn't come.

"Well, well, Mikaela," Hwoarang finally said. "What have we here?"

"The best fighter in the world and a dumb Korean who doesn't have a clue, I guess," Mikaela mocked.

"Very funny," Hwoarang smirked sarcastically. "Too bad you're not good at comebacks."

Mikaela knew he was trying to stir her up. She took her fists out from behind her back and yelled, "Don't think I'm that dumb, 'cos I'm not!" She ran to Hwoarang and tried to punch him it the nose, but his hand swiftly flicked up and caught her fist. Mike tried to trip him with her foot, but he caught that too, so now Mike was hanging upside down. "Agh! Lemme go!" Her remaining foot whooshed upward and kicked him in the chin. Hwoarang fell back with a yell as Mikaela rolled smoothly on the ground, back into her fighting stance.

"Look, everyone!" announced Evy. "It's a fight!"

Soon there was a crowd around the two young fighters. Mikaela felt not in the least intimidated by the comparison in between the tall young man and herself. Impatient as she was, Mike started off the battle with a low-aimed kick at Hwoarang's legs to weaken his knees. He stumbled back before returned the kick, this time higher near Mikaela's mouth. She was knocked over by the strong force of Hwoarang's kick. Mikaela sprung up and gladly presented herself to the crowd with a series of strong punches, ending with a kick in the groin. Mike smirked as Hwoarang groaned and fell down, giving Mikaela time to really finish him off. But Hwoarang jumped up and surprised her by grabbing her shoulders. Her rolled on the ground with her until he was on top, then he cracked her arm. Mike yelled in pain as she tried to get up, her dislocated left arm hanging limp and useless by her side. A few people in the crowd cheered, while the girls all booed.

"Looks like I've got the advantage," Hwoarang grinned.

"Prove it then!" Mike leaped at him, ignoring her painful arm. She broke his nose with a hard kick to his head, and she forced his neck back. But Hwoarang was right, he did have the advantage. After all, you do need both arms to fight. This made Hwoarang happy, he enjoyed beating up the same person more than once.

Mike was probably thinking the same thing. But she wasn't going to give up. Hwoarang caught her shoulders once again, and started beating her badly with strong kicks. Mike gasped and fell to the ground. No! I'm not going to lose! She thought. Clutching herself, she ran up to Hwoarang, ready to attack. Blood dripped from her mouth and her leg, but that didn't stop her. She was quite pleased that Hwoarang was also bleeding, underneath his chin. It made her even more big-headed than she already was when she kicked someone so hard they bled. Mike was just about to catch Hwoarang's leg (he was aiming a kick) when a bell sounded. Mikaela halted and Hwoarang slowly put his leg down.

"Don't you worry, Hwoarang," Mikaela said as they walked back to their rooms. "One day, some way…I will defeat you."

"And I for one say that right back to you," Hwoarang laughed and strode off with some other girls to his room.

Mikaela scowled.

****************************************************************************************************************************************

"He looks so different," Mike was talking to herself on her bed. "I don't know how he's changed so much…there's something about him that makes me feel…odd…"

"Don't worry," said her room mate who had just come out of the shower. "Every girl's attracted to Hwoarang."

Startled, Mikaela sat up.

"Finished already?" she said. She did NOT like Hwoarang…well, at least that's what she thought.

"Yes. It's very obvious you've got a crush on him."

Mike sat up. Christie (her room mate) smirked. "I do NOT have a crush on him!"

"Oh, then that must be because you're too hot-headed to ignore his gorgeous brown eyes, his muscly chest, his…"

Christie sighed dreamily. "Cute looks…"

"Oh, look who's got the hots for him now!"

"Of course I do! I mean, who wouldn't?"

"Everyone except YOU of course." Mike threw her pillow. Christie gasped (jokingly) as though she was offended.

"Are you…CHALLENGING me?" she shrieked. Mike nodded.

"Okay, you asked for it!" Christie grabbed the cushion from the couch and threw it at Mikaela's head. "Hey!" yelped

Mike as she snatched another pillow from underneath her head.

Knock, knock, knock. "Get the door, Christie!" Mikaela looked around the room for a place to hide. Christie opened the door. A man with blonde hair and blue eyes was standing there.

"Hello," He said. I'm looking for Mikaela Everest. Is she here?" Christie snapped out of her dreamy haze (she thought the man was cute! Tehe…)

"Uh, yeah! Right here." She pointed to the bed.

"Good one, Chris," Mikaela said, crawling out from underneath. "NOT." She went outside the room and Christie closed the door behind her. She pressed her ear eagerly against the door, listening intently.

"Nick, what are you doing here?" Was the first thing she heard.

"Just checking if you're alright."

"I'm fine, okay?"

"Oh yeah, then what are those cuts over there for?"

"Um…I got into a fight with you-know-who."

Christie heard the sound of hugging. She giggled quietly.

"Mike, I told you to stay away from those things…and him. People like that just aren't…right."

"Nick, leave me alone! I appreciate your care, but I'll be fine! I can take care of myself. I'm not a kid anymore.

People do grow up, you know. I think you should, too."

"Oh Mike, you're always in some kind of bad mood, aren't you?"

"Of course I am! Now, you're usually happy, and that's not normal. You should get yourself checked by a doctor."

"Okay then. You're my doctor."

"Nick, shut up!"

"Alright. Take care!"

Mikaela opened the door and came inside the room. Christie was giggling.

"YOU WERE EAVESDROPPING????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

***********************************************************************************

Yes, you guessed it right…this fic, unfortunately, is going to have short chapters all the way through…maybe. I know this story MIGHT have some *slight* Hwoarang bashing…I know that the relationship between Nick and Mike is a bit…odd. But I'll fix it up later. And it's pretty obvious Mikaela DOES like Hwoarang. Darn! I knew I would do that.

Anyway, find out in the next chapter what Mike does to Christie…o.0 and if you want to see more of my other new character, Evelyn, don't worry! The next chapter will focus more on her…for once!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE (!!) if you have been reading this story all the way through PLEASE review! I absolutely LOVE getting reviews so please tell me what you think! Oh, and flame all you like, but you'll be ignored and the flames will be used to burn Anna Williams. DIE BITCH DIE!!!!!!!!!!!
