Hey guys! Thanks for the reviews and help with everything. I especially want to thank mnash123. With all the help you've given me, I've become a much better writer. While I was typing this chapter I was listening to the song Fighter by Gym Class Heroes. It helped me get through this chapter and that's where I got my inspiration for my ending from. I hope you guys enjoy!
Cammie POV
P&E.
My favorite class.
When I spar I feel invincible (unless of course I'm fighting Bex or Mick). I can use any moves I want to and get to show how strong I am, how willing I am, how ready I am.
I walked with my classmates into the P&E barn, pulling my hair into a tight ponytail.
"Welcome ladies….and gentleman," Joe added hastily.
The boys stood in perfect formation with serious looks on their faces.
"Today you will be sparring with your classmates. The objective is to beat everyone in the class. Whoever wins and beats everyone will get bragging rights and extra dessert."
I didn't need the desert, I barely eat desert anyway
. I wanted bragging rights, and the ability to beat the entire junior class.
Bex nudged my side and I turned my head."You're going down Morgan," she whispered. "In your dreams Baxter," I smirked.
I looked over at Zach who was looking at me with a disgruntled face. "What," I mouthed. "You took my smirk," he frowned/mouthed.
I burst into a fit of giggles which caught Joe's attention.
"Miss Morgan would you care to go first?" I shut up really quick. "You'll be sparring Mick first," he grinned. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Mick and I were friends but when it came to sparring, in Mick's mind, you were a Circle member.
She would bust you up.
"Okay."
Instantly the entire junior class erupted into cheers
. "Come on Mick!"
"Let's go Cam you got this!"
"Come on Gallagher Girl," I heard Zach over all of them.
I felt a burst on energy but held back. Mick grinned at me and charged. I dodged her and spin kicked her in the butt. It didn't hurt her, she got more fired up. She punched at my head and I blocked her, punched in the stomach, and then bent her arm at an impossible angle. She kicked back and hit me in the chest. I fell back, rolling over and landing on my knees. "Let's go Cammie," Macey yelled. I stood up and ran at Mick. She feinted left but I was right there with her. My fist hit her jaw and she stumbled. I took my opportunity to kick her legs out from under her and she hit the floor with a loud thud.
The gym erupted in screams of happiness.
"Way to go Cammie," Grant yelled.
Liz clapped happily next Jonas who was smiling.
"Nice moves Morgan," Mick laughed.
"You too," I held out my hand and helped her up.
"Hey Mick," I said as she started to walk away. "Yeah Cam?" "When I win, you can share my dessert." "You better win, chef's making crème brulee," she smiled.
Next up was Tina Walters.
I don't particularly like Tina and in two minutes she was on the ground holding her sore wrist.
"Eva," Joe called.
Eva has this particular way of fighting.
When she fights she moves her body as if she was dancing to one of her Hispanic songs.
It's gracefully and rhythmic.
Only bad thing for her is it's easy to pick up on.
When she twisted around me to try to kick my back, I spun around, grabbed her leg, twisted, and sent her body twisting in the air. She fell her stomach and looked up at me with a small smile playing on her lips.
"Te traeré la proxima vez Morgan," she mumbled.
"Ya veremos," I said back and she grinned.
Then I had to fight Bex.
"I'm going to beat you Cameron."
"You can try Rebecca," I smirked.
That set her off.
She ran at me full speed and hit the side of my head. I felt a little dizzy and planted my feet steady. I punched at her stomach, ribs, and chin all in one. It's like her body caved in. She was steady though. She kicked at my stomach, connecting with what seemed my kidney (all I know was it hurt) and set me slamming onto the mat on my back. I jumped up quickly onto my knees so I didn't count as out and took a deep breath. Bex was a kidney killing machine. "Ouch," I yelled at her. She laughed and turned around to embrace the crowd.
"Way to go Bex," Grant yelled.
I took the moment while she was distracted and dove at her legs. My fists hit the back of her knees and they buckled under her. With a grunt she fell to the ground in front of me. I jumped up and laughed and she rolled onto her back.
"This will never happen again Morgan," she threatened.
"Yeah okay."
"You better be careful Cammie, I know where you sleep," she grinned and went to stand next to Grant.
He picked her up and kissed her deeply, making the other girls smile and cheer.
I continued to win, spar after spar, never giving up.
I beat Macey and when I was done she threatened to draw on my face with makeup while I slept. I beat Liz in five seconds, tripping her and sending her sprawling onto the mat. Well, Liz stepped to punch me and tripped over my foot. She beat herself.
I beat Jonas and Grant.
Grant let out a string of words in Farsi that made the class laugh.
"Face it Newman, you got beat by a girl," Jonas laughed.
Lastly, I had to fight Zach. He was smirking at me as he stepped onto the mat.
"Ready to go down babe?" I laughed loudly. "You think you're going to beat me?" "I know I'm going to beat you," he smirked.
I pushed all thoughts aside of wanting to kiss him and wrap my arms around him and smirked.
"You can try and you will fail baby."
Joe blew his whistle and Zach charged.
I wanted, counting down form three. At one I ducked his from his arm and went to kick him in the back. He spun around, grabbed my foot, and flipped me onto my back. "Oomph," escaped my lips.
"Come on Cammie!"
"Don't lose to him!"
"Beat him!"
"Don't let him get any cockier," Macey screamed.
I jumped up and squared my feat. "You're so going to lose," I yelled and spin kicked him. My foot caught him in the stomach and he stumbled. My fist connected with his jaw and his head snapped back. He punched me in the stomach and then ribs, sending pain through my body. "Ugh," I groaned and held onto my side. "Face it Cam, I'm better," he smirked. "I am going to wipe that smirk off your face," I mumbled and then stood back.
I took a deep breath and remember that one day at the park, the day I broke my ankle.
"Come on Cammie-bear," he taunted.
My eyes flew open.
I took another breath and ran. He lunged for me but I was already in the air.
One.
Two.
Three flips in the air and I landed perfectly behind him.
My ankle was fine and the adrenaline was amazing.
He smiled widely and then dove.
My body went slamming onto the ground, his arm coming around to cover my head. He straddled me, his knees squeezing my hips.
"You lost Cam."
"Ten, nine, eight," my classmates counted.
I struggled under his body and then an idea came to mind.
I thrust my head up and kissed him. Immediately, his grip loosened as he kissed me back harder.
"Three, two."
At the last second I flipped us over, with me on top. "One! Cammie wins!"
Zach groaned realizing he had fallen hard for my trick.
"Admit it Zach. I'm Goode," I whispered.
"Not yet Cammie. You'll be Goode soon, trust me," he smiled and grabbed my waist, holding me to him and he kissed me hard.
Joe walked up to us and turned to Zach (who was still under me) and said "You need to keep this one Goode."
"I know. Why do you think so?"
"Because," he pointed at me, "this one's a fighter."
