Chapter Seven: Ranma
I was relaxing poolside as evening came. I guess I even fell asleep. I had gone back to being male now. Since I had gotten us into the club for free I didn't want to leave and have that wasted so I stuck around the place. I have no clue where Akane went off to, but I think she hated me for not helping her as best I could. I should have been able to get her to swim, but I couldn't.
I woke up suddenly, and I had no clue why I did. I felt that something was wrong. I looked across the pool to see Akane talking to some pretty boy bastard. I moved to get closer by hiding under her chair.
"Er, well, I'm Tendo Akane, of the Tendo School of anything-goes martial arts." She seemed very cheerful and the opposite she felt with me. Did she like him?
"Wow, so you're a martial artist as well? I'll teach you to swim Akane. How 'bout it?" The damn boy had a stupid grin on his face.
"Well, you are the best. I guess it couldn't hurt." She said it was okay for him to teach her to swim! She told me I would do that. I guess she does hate me.
"Okay, but it's late though so how about tomorrow morning?"
"Okay then." I felt a dagger enter my heart..
"You aren't part of the club are you?" I saw the chair shook so I guess she was shaking her head. "Okay. Tomorrow say you're my guest and they'll let you in." I couldn't take anymore and sprang out looking to the boy in spite.
"Who are you?" I look to him in disgust.
"I'm Ezu Samba. Martial artist." He looked at Akane pointing at me. He was a martial artist? "Is he a friend of yours Akane?" I knew for a fact she nodded her head from behind me.
"Akane. I think I understand now." I stood up pointing at the damn boy. He was trying to pick up Akane and date her. "I challenge you to a match Tango!"
"It's Samba, and I accept." He stood to meet me. His eyes had the same fire as my own. "We will face off in marine martial arts at the stadium just over there." He pointed to a stadium six blocks away.
"Marine martial arts?" What the hell is that? Marine is something to do with water right? "Isn't that fighting in water? I accept as long as the pool is heated."
"Oh, it is that type. Why request that?"
"Uh, no reason. Tomorrow we will fight there at seven at night. Don't be late!" I glared at him turning away from the two returning to my chair acting all asleep, but I watched as the two talked some more than Akane came to me to go.
I was sulking out on the porch that night. I have no clue what this marine martial arts are about. If I were to lose I'd be showing Akane I'd was weak, and I could lose her. My mother came out and sat beside me.
"I hear you're going to fight a match tomorrow."
"Yeah. Some stupid marine martial arts." I closed my eyes scoffing.
"Marine martial arts? I'm great at that." I rose to meet her. "Do you want my help?"
"What do you think mom?" I would win that battle and get Akane to like me again. Well, like me more than she did now.

Thanks to:
Arcia: We'll just have to see if he wins it.
Bbb
Maria: He won't be going girl, but I think that if he did Samba would try to date him/her. Remember that the pool they will fight in is a heated indoor one.
