Tonight is the night.
Tonight is the night Adrian and I fight in the ring.
We have practiced a lot and have tried to come up with a solution to this, without anyone getting hurt.
Truthfully, one of us will walk away with more than bloody knuckles.
Adrian told me that he can handle hits, he has gone against Keaton before and he was fine.
Regardless, if I don't win tonight then I won't be going against Shadow Thorton.
In order to get into the championships, you have to get 3 wins in a normal fight. Not just 3 but 3 in a row.
"Knock, knock."
I turn around and see Maggie walking into the dressing room.
"Hey Mags, what's up?" I walk over to her.
"I actually came to talk to you about the plan."
My eyes widen, then go back into their sockets. "What now?"
Maggie sets her hands on my shoulders. "Adrian and I have been talking...we decided that Keaton pretending that he doesn't care about us won't work in our favor. In the long run someone is just going to get hurt."
"Well...duh!" I exclaim. "My dad would sense something wasn't right immediately. If someone were to get hurt and Keaton had to act like he didn't care, my dad would just win."
Maggie nods in agreement. "That's why we decided against it. I will tell Keaton later but I wanted to tell you before you and Adrian talk before the fight."
I smile. "Thanks Mags."
She pulls me into a hug. "This will work out, one way or another. I promise."
I return the hug. "I don't know how but it will."
Maggie pulls away. "Well, I should go talk to Keaton but I will see you later."
I wave. "Bye Mags. Stay safe."
She walks out and I go to the corner of the dressing room and start warming up.
I start off with stretching my legs and arms. I finish off with stretching my back.
Grabbing a hair tie I pull my hair into a high ponytail.
The door opens, revealing Adrian.
I walk over to him. "You ready for this?"
He releases a deep sigh. "Cami, I don't like any of this. I feel like I am about to fight my sister."
