The second hand ticked slowly around the clocks face, as the History teacher droned on about world war two; just a few more moments and they would be freed for the day. Two desks down Mattie quietly took notes taking in every word the teacher said Mattie had always been the top of the class since they were little while Alfred had spent his time in athletics. Alfred tried to focus on the teacher, but just couldn't all he could think about was tonight's match. He thought about the match's he had seen the champ win the previous year, and how strong the guy was. He hadn't been able to compete last year in the big league street fights due to he hadn't turned eighteen yet, but England had made him go to matches to learn how the big boys played. During his first match he won with just two hits against a well known veteran boxer after that he became an undefeated rookie. England loved to book hard matches that brought the betters and high prices. Everyone seemed to want the new kid to fall and this match was not going to be any different. He glanced up at the clock and found that only a minute was left and most of the other kids were putting their books up. When a knock came from the door and the principle walked in.
"Sorry guys I know the class is about to end but I wanted you to meet a new student that will be joining us next week. Ivan Come in" The principle motioned to the new kid. Ivan was tall with a strong build; purple eyes flashed under silvery hair.
"Hello everyone I am Ivan Braginski I hope we can all become friends" he said with a thick rolling Russian accent he had a slightly childish voice. Suddenly Ivan turned and with two long strides he left the class the principle having to jog to keep up with him. With that the bell rang and the class jumped up heading out the door before the teacher could assign a last minuet report.
