He chuckled and said, "I knew the peaceful silence wouldn't last. Alright what do you want to do?" He asks and I shrug. "Wanna watch a movie?" He asks. "Sure." I said getting up from his bed. He doesn't move a muscle so I take that as a chance to push him off the bed. He falls with a loud thump and I double over in laughter. "What the fuck Ashley?!" He yells, scrambling to get off the hardwood floor. "You wouldn't move so I thought I might as well give you a light push." "A LIGHT PUSH! You pushed me HARD!" He said raising his voice. I just snicker as I exit his room, going down the stairs and into his living room where the big flat screen TV sat. "Natey! I want popcorn!!" I yelled. "You're lucky I was already on my way to the kitchen." he says. I laugh to myself and go to the shelf where all the movies are at. 

I scanned the binds of the movies until I stopped on one. "It better not be some stupid rom com." Nathan says, coming into the living room with a big bowl of popcorn. I pull out the movie and show him the case. "Does this look like a rom com to you? And do I LOOK like a person who likes to watch that shit?" I say. "Point taken. We're watching Pixels?" He asks. "Hell yeah. Adam Sandler is funny, now suck it up and watch it. You know you love it." I said. He shrugged and shoved a handful of popcorn in his mouth. I rolled my eyes and put the movie in and pressed play.

**************

"Damn. I love that movie more each time I see it." I said. "Eh, it's okay." He says putting the now empty bowl on the coffee table. "Bullshit. You were leaning in and your eyes would NOT leave the screen." I tell him. "Whatever." He says. I chuckle and reach into my pocket for my phone. "Shit, I'm gonna be late for my own fight. I gotta go Nate. Maybe I'll see you at the party if I decide to go." I tell him. "Alright bye Ashley!" He yells as I'm already halfway out the door. I jog to the car and drive over to the warehouse where we usually have all the fights. My phone starts ringing, so I reach out to the cup holder and answer the call, putting it on speaker. "Yo." I answered. "Ashley where you at?" Brody's voice comes out from my phone's speaker. "I'm on my way Brody." I tell him, taking a turn. "Hurry up. Everyone is getting rowdy and saying you're backing out of the fight." 

"Well tell those bitches they can go shove a nice sized banana up their asshole cuz I'm coming." I tell him. He laughs and hangs up. 2 minutes later I pull up at the warehouse and I walk in. "Took you long enough." Brody says, appearing out of nowhere. "Well what can I say, I like surprise entrances." I tell him and I walk into a room I'm supposed to change in. After I change into a black Nike sports bra and shorts, I walk out the room and toward the middle of the warehouse where our fighting "ring" was. The girl I was fighting hasn't come out yet. I had my hands already taped up and I was just stretching when my competitor finally came out. I look her up and down and I almost snorted out loud. I could tell this was her first fight since her eyes were darting around in fear. 

She finally walked in front of me and the "ref" comes out and stands between us two. "Alright ladies. There are no rules except no weapons or anything under your tape. Shake hands." He tells us. I stick my hand out and she shakes it. The ref blows the whistle and both my hands shoot up to cover my face. As I predicted, she tried to punch me in the face but I ducked making her punch the air. I punched her on her side and while I was distracted doing that she gave a hard blow to my lip. Sandbags. She had em under her tape. The bitch was trying to cheat. I growled and went into overdrive. I threw hard ass punches towards her face, making her stumble backwards. She goes to punch me and I move to the side and punch her in her left side. She squeals and goes to grab that spot. I take that as my shot to knock her out. I retract my arm as far as I could and punch her straight in her face. 

She stumbles and finally falls on the ground, her eyes closed and her left eyebrow has a gash. Oops? "The all time champ, Ashley Arroyo!!" The ref yells. Everyone cheers and I take that as my cue to go to the back room to change. After I take a quick shower, I change back into my black skinny jeans, black high top vans, white crop top with 'Rebel' written across it, and my signature black leather jacket, I walked out the room and towards the exit. It was only 9pm so I decided to call Natey. 3 rings later he picks up and the only thing I hear is loud ass music playing. "Hello?" He says but I could barely hear him. "Natey I just called to tell you I was coming to the party. I just finished my fight." I tell him, getting into the car. "Alright cool! I gotta go though, Cindy's doing shots!" he tries to yell over the music. He hung up and I start driving towards the party.
