Chapter 9: Fierce Competition

Thanks for the feedback, the support, and the constructive criticism. It's always appreciated! "I don't want to go through the motions." (Matthew

West v.)

Luke had only just gotten started, and Skills was already tired.

"Who are you, the Flash?" Skills asked, panting as he tried to catch his breath.

"No, Jedi I am." Luke laughed, as Skills rolled his eyes at Luke's Yoda impression.

"Well I must be a Sith Lord, dawg," Skills sarcastically muttered. "You got me wheezing like Darth Vader."

"Let's go, tall, black, and terrifying."

"It's tall, black, and handsome, dawg."

"I'm sorry. Your breathing was scaring me." Luke joked, as he offered Skills a hand.

Skills smiled, shaking his head, and let Luke pull him to his feet.

"How could you lose to your evil counterpart?"

Luke shot Skills a glare. Skills shrugged.

"He beat you, not me."

"He plays dirty Skills."

"So?"

"Skills," Luke's face was red with shame. "He knows what buttons to push."

"It hurts, huh? Well, well. What's up Haley James?"

"What's up Skills? Hey Luke," Haley smiled at her best friend. He quickly smiled back, but not before she read the shame on his face.

"I'm out," Skills said, connecting fists with Luke, and laughing to himself as he walked away.

"You could stay! I won't bite!" Haley called after him.

"Y'all are trying to kill me!" Skills yelled, jogging the rest of the way.

"Hey Hales," Luke said, smiling warmly.

"Don't 'Hales' me, jerk," she said, playfully punching his arm. "Why didn't you tell me you lost to your brother?"

"I almost didn't tell Skills."

"Why?"

"Why did you come out here?"

"You're embarrassed. You lost. So what? Everyone loses."

"Stop avoiding the question."

"Stop being a baby."

"Fine, he called me a mistake!"

Haley's face twitched.

"What?" Luke asked, amused at her expression.

"How is it he has the ability to get in your head, but I can't get you to come to church? Maybe I'll ask him."

"He's a jerk, Hales."

"So are you. At least get to know him."

"What?"

"Fix your face, Lucas Scott. Tonight, we dine with royalty."
