Chapter 6: Promise

As I pass by the beady eyes of the secretary she looks to be shaking like a little dog with too much energy. As I grab the cool metal handle to the door I feel a hand on my shoulder, I forced myself not to chuck their ass through the nearby window out of habit and anger. I let out a groan as I turned my head and came face to face with the blonde who's ass I beat. I quickly threw up my defenses and stood at the ready before a little chuckle was made from them, catching me off guard and an inquisitive look over taking my face. The Blonde smiles as begin to take not of their facial features. Bright green eyes, lush blonde hair with a sheen, long eyelashes and a facial structure fit for a girl.... A girl.... Oh my dear god he is actually a she and I beat the shit out of her! Anxiety gripped me quickly as I went slack jawed, unable to fathom what I've done and how I must of humiliated her. She noticed that I began to have light shaking as she chuckled again,

"You're a terrific fighter! The fact you could dodge my strikes was purely fantastic, your technique had flaws in it but they seemed to flow together. Your fighting style though I couldn't quite put a finger on what it was but it seemed like a variant of kickboxing, especially that roundhouse reverse and normal. My head still hurts from that!" Her voice is soft, almost shy like but after seeing, no feeling the damage she can cause totally puts me off. I begin to register what she has said and what's going, my mind starting to run a thousand miles per hour,

"My f**k! You, you're a girl, A girl! I'm so sorry, if I would have known that I would have let you beat the hell out of me!" I bow and then stand, rubbing my forehead as a headache begins to form and cause me some pain. She is a bit a taken aback by my slight outburst as a inquisitive look envelops her face, I let out a slight smile and rub the back of my head.

"Wait, so you didn't know I was a girl? You thought I was a guy so you had no qualms about beating the crap out of me and you would have just sat there because I'm a girl? I hit you! I started the fight and you had every right to fight back as well as prove you where, sorry are better than me. The fact that you can fight like that and not like some loser is amazing! If you entered the fights he-"

"It was luck, I had no clue what I was doing. Skill is something I don't have so in all actuality if it was a fair fight I would have lost. I'm no fighter, I can't fight and won't, I'm here to go to school and get out. I want no part in this school's antics, I'm sorry for that and hurting you. Please forgive me, I owe you and I'll do anything to make it up to you. My name is-" I almost said Ivan, I'm not him, Colton, I'm Colton. She stared back at me as I was apparently taking a moment to respond.

"Sorry, drew a blank there for a moment, My name is Colton Stragga."

She giggled a bit and a sickly smile formed on her face as she bit her bottom lip a bit.

"You'll do anything to make it up to me? You mean that? You might regret those words if you hold true to them." I gulped a bit and hoped this girl wasn't too lewd and wasn't hoping to do anything.... perverted. I let out a sigh and smiled graciously,

"Yes, I'm a man of my word. What I did wasn't ok and I mean to make it up to you whatever way you deem best I will do"

This got her excited as she raised her hands into the air with a huge grin.

"Yay! Ok meet me after the school in training room four, be dressed in gym clothes. I recommend something comfortable and thin. Oh and it's great to meet you Colton my name is Natasha Brill but call me Nat for short! I'm so happy I got to break your Weeping Willow fighting cherry, I gotta go talk to my dad, he's a bit upset that I picked a fight with you." She then raised a brow and looked me dead in the eyes.

"He talks about you a lot but he calls you a different name, I think it's something like Ivan. He told me to look out for you but um... He told me to not fight you but he talked about you so much I felt.... Jealous that he talked about you so much." I was shocked, the fact that Nat said that her dad was talking about me and calling me that name... He is planning something and that spells trouble for me . Nat began to walk away before quickly turning around,

"Oh I almost forgot! Do you have a phone and if so would you mind if we exchanged numbers?" I snapped out of my thought and began to pull out my phone. As I held it and began to ask her number she snatched it out of my hands and quickly messed around on it before handing it back and scampering into her father's office. I looked at the screen and looked at the only contact I had, it read 'Fighting Cherry Popper'. I couldn't help but groan and snicker at the nickname she had put for herself, once more I went to leave the office when I heard something slide across the table. I looked back to see a wristband that was wide and pure black, the secretary let out a small peep,

"It's yours, a requirement at the school. Also I'm sorry, I saw what was programmed in it but I changed it. You're a scary kid." I looked at her and smiled,

"Scary normal! I haven't done anything to you ma'am!" I take up the wristband and slide it on. The band adjusts on its own to perfectly fit my wrist, on the face of it lights up a baby blue color. Up popped up a holographic screen that showed off my name, title and my record.

Name:Colton Stragga

Class: Not a fighter

Classroom:C-6

Title:Innocent Wimp

Reading this made me happy as I let out a joyful sigh. I smiled and reached for the doorknob, this time successfully exiting the office without any distractions. As I walked into the empty, silent hallways I couldn't help but smile, this school may be a mess but I think it'll be fun. I just have to watch my back, that skirmish with Nat may have caused me unnecessary attention. I shove that thought to the side as I put my hands above my head...Ow, that's right I have a broken collar bone huh? With my medical knowledge alone I should be fine but it'll still be a pain in my ass. I see the bathroom and quickly slide into it. As I peek into the mirror to fix my hair I see three other boys in a corner with their phones, blushing and 'ooooo'ing. They've peeked my interest as I wander over to them and peek at what they are looking at without them noticing me. To my disbelief there on their screens are pictures of girls, none I recognize till one swipes over to a picture of Nat in one of the training rooms. This sets a blaze in me but I ignore it, quickly leaving the bathroom and heading back to class. Trying to avoid causing anymore unnecessary attention I quickly slip back into room C-6 unnoticed. Class has yet to start as I sit with my stuff and put my head down, staying quiet and blending into the wood work. They all gather into cliques and begin to talk about a variety of things but what catches my interest is someone talking about me.

"Bro did you hear about that new kid? The one that beat the crap out of Nat, the headmaster's daughter? Rumors say he was good while I hear others say that he cheated and fought dirty" I smile and keep my mouth shut and wait for class to start. A smile plastered to my face...
