The Bad Girl

NINETEEN: PREPARE

CINDY'S POV

I WALK INTO THE CLUB and go straight to the bar where my good friend Ben was serving drinks. "Hey what can i-" he stops mid sentence as he looks up and meets his eyes with mine, "Thorn, hey how are you? Its been a while" he says whilst smiling at me, Ben knows who i really am and since I'm not in my costume with my make up on yet, so one will suspect a thing and wont try and find out my identity unlike if i walked in with my costume on. "Hey ben, im good thanks, can you sign me up to fight as soon as possible please?" I say whilst looking at the sheet, seeing what the available times are. "Yeah sure, theres a guy called "Blade" who no one wants to fight because hes apparently really good, personally i think gets it easy because hes 6"4" He says causing me to chuckle. "Nah mate sign me up against him, i want to see what competition i have." I say whilst smirking.
Ben signs me up and i go to the ladies changing rooms to get changed into my outfit which consists of nike pro shorts and a sports bra.
I apply my blonde wig and extreme make up onto me so that my identity is fully hidden, i then add contacts to stop myself from showing any emotion during the match as that is the biggest weakness you can have.

Just as i start strapping myself up i hear the door slamming open and a male figure enter the room. "Erm...you got the wrong changing room" i said to the man, who was still only a shadow as he was stood in the dark. "Not if im looking for Cindy" i hear the all too familiar voice speak loud and clear. My eyes widen as the man steps out the shadow. "Blake...what are you doing here, and how the hell do you know it is me?" I ask him whilst backing away, knowing that he would be mad at me for keeping this a secret from him. Blake steps towards me and takes my hand, "i can recognize that body from a mile away princess" he says causing me to blush furiously, thanking god that i am wearing piles of make up so it doesnt show. "What are you doing here?" I ask him after composing myself, Blake brings me into a hug and sighs "Cindy i could tell from your reaction at what Stacey said that you did streetfighting, i knew that you would have gone here once you left school because its the only place people like us go to let off some steam. I came because i want to see you fight and support you, even though i dont like the idea of streetfighting myself" Blake says whilst pulling away and starting to strap my hands up, " to be honest i was just scared that you wouldnt understand why i do it and would make me stop fighting which i dont plan on doing any time soon" i tell him whilst standing up and streching. "I wouldnt stop you from doing anything Ci, but you do know you have to tell the others about this, its not fair to lie to them" he tells me whilst i nod in agreement, its not fair to lie to my best friends. "AND NOW WE HAVE THE ALMIGHTY BLADE FIGHTING AGAINST THE NEWBIE, THORNNNNN" I hear Ben call out as Blade runs out, i turn around and give Blake a quick peck on the cheek as i run towards the ring "good luck Thorn!!!" I hear Blake shout, i smirk and stare at the 6'4 guy infront me whilst shouting back "i wont need it". Here we go.
