Chapter 4: "WHAT?! YOU CAN'T USE A PEN AS A WEAPON! "

I turn around and kiss her cheek. "Sorry mum, gotta do my job tho. Love you." I smile and wave her goodbye. She looks worried and sad at the same time. I want to hug her again, but I'm going to be late if I do so. -Forgive me mum, but this is the only way to help us all out...-

I drove straight to Fearstreet. There I meet Lance at the parking lot. He is a tall guy (more like tall from far away, but small when I'm actually near him), has a broad yet defined body with a tattoo on his arm. He has ocean blue eyes with a a soldier cut kinda blonde hair and mastered 'that' smirk. A total woman's dream man.

He walks towards me, just to punch my left arm. -This bitch.-
"Woah, you sure changed little bro. Trained hard I guess. Ready to fuck things up?" He grins widely revealing visible dimples. His british accent never fails to make me laugh.

I chuckle and give him an equal punch for fairness. " Yeah kinda. Got no classes today?"

"Uh noo~... gonna skip" He grins. We walk under the bridge. Only the underground members know this place and Lance introduced me to this. -He's going to NYU... Even if he is going to a University, he's an idiot for still joining illegal fights.-

I know, I could've worked legally as a cashier or as an construction worker, but working illegal as a fighter is fast money.

"Damn~! Check those chicks out." He whistles at a group full of sluts and they giggle back. I roll my eyes as a girl tries to approach me. -I don't like women, who are wasting their lives on men. As a man, I know what's going on in our brains. We can be asshole sometimes.-

"You really are an idiot aren't ya?" I glare at him. - He is two years older than me and is like a big brother to me, but he's an idiot to be honest.-

Lance rolls his eyes and says "Shut up sissy boy!" I wanted to say something, but someone hits me at my back.

"Archer! It's your turn. Beat them up!" I turn around and spot Sam grinning and pointing at a guy. -'Archer' is my stage name. I decided to take my fathers name.-

Everyone has one. Lance is called 'Soldier', because of the way he moves and his outfit, always camouflaged. Sam is called 'Venom'. Once you get into a fight with him, he won't let you get away.

"Where are the others?" I ask and try to wrap my knuckles again.

-I refer to our squad members. We are 8 in total. Me, Lance Clarke, Crystal Evans, Samuel Grodon, Kim Liu , Dashielle Hernandèz, Kace and Blair Reed. -

Lance stares at his phone and then sighs. "They are all lazy as fuck. Only Crystal and Kim have good excuses. Their learning for your upcoming history test, I suppose?" He raises his eyebrows at me.

"Yeah." I say and smile. -Atleast they are learning. I forgot, we have a test next week. Damn...-

"That guy on the stage is called 'Royal S'. Heard he never lost fight." Sam informs me. I look at the guy, who's standing inside the cage.

-He doesn't look bad, he's tall and has a fierce look. His body, compared to mine, is slightly bigger. He might be stronger, but his bodymass makes him slower. I could have a chance.-

" How much?" I ask and remove my shirt, while ignoring those glares from those sluts and bastards. -I'm used to this.-

"Uh, around 500 dollars?" Sam says.

"Want me to do it?" Lance chuckles and tries to make fun of me. -As I said, he's an 21 year old idiot.-

"Don't underestimate me. Watch and learn." I smirk as I walk into the war zone.

After work, I decided to head for coffee. I stopped by in 'Starbucks' and my eyes immediately landed on one person.

Amanda Miller stares at her notes as she quietly nips on her cup. A smile appears on my face as I approach her.

-New York might not be such a big city after all. I'd call this 'destiny'.-

She seems so focused, even though she's wearing her headset.

I carefully place my coffee and another one next to her. She slowly looks up and startles when she finally spots me. -Cute.-

"Hey." I smile at her.

She blushes and removes her headset as she returns a smile. "H-Hi. Sorry, I haven't seen you sooner. Please, take a seat." -Oh, and she's really polite too. I like that.-

"Thank you and don't worry about that." I say and take a seat. I stare at her notes and have to grin. "Do you always learn on your free time?"

She shakes her head. "Not always. I feel like I'm slacking a bit in math lately." Her face slightly heats up as she smiles. -Awww...-

"I can help you out." I simply say and feel proud of myself for having the guts to talk to her.

-I didn't flirt, but I think I showed her that I can be helpful whenever she needs me.-

Amanda seems to be thinking for a while. Her grey eyes glimmer at me as she smiles. "I'd really appreciate that, but I'm afraid that I'll be a burden to you."

-Is this girl for real?-

I unintentionally laugh, making her tilt her head to the side. "Excuse me. You're just way to kind. I want to help you out and no, I don't want anything in return." I warmly smile at her.

She avoids eye contact though and I notice how her cheeks slightly turn pink. "I-I..."

"I mean it." I grab my phone out and hand her my e-mail address.

-What? If I gave her my number, it would be way too straightforward and creepy. Not romantic at all.-

She takes it and writes hers on my notes in return. "Here's mine."

-Okay... Fuck. I was not prepared at all.
...This is really happening right? I just got a way to contact her, right?...-

"Oh, this is bad." I quietly mumble as I place my hand to my mouth.

She grins and raises her eyebrows. "Why?"

I hastily look away and curse myself for not being able to control my emotions. "I can't stop smiling."

Her face suddenly heats up and covers her face. "Oh my..."

-Darn it. Why do I have to be so weird around her?-

I carefully take her textbook. I notice the basic graphic and the coordinates. on it. -Easy.- "Let us start with something simple." I say, in order to avoid the awkwardness between us.
