Sorry for any mistakes :( We are basically at the half of the book! That's crazy!!! If you've read my other book Bad Chick then you know that the book only has 36 chapters and two part Epilogue. This book will for sure be longer because a lot of deep shit will go down. Lol.

Back to the story now...

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

  I managed to cover up the bruises on my face from Saturday for school on Monday. I got yelled at by Sarah. I knew I would because I didn't talk to her the whole weekend after leaving Saturday morning with a short note. I told her about my parents and she didn't seem convinced though and told me she would have to see it to believe it. She forgave me after I agreed to hang out with her after school.

  I hung out with her the rest of the day and it was fun to have some time with my best friend. I kind of needed her right now.

  Dinner went great on Sunday with Elliot and his niece, Faith. I told my parents how he calls me little fighter or Stephanie. I used the same explanation I did with Sarah. My dad loved Elliot and they talked about his plans in the future. Faith played with me and my mom for awhile while they talked and cleaned up dinner.

  Afterward. I walked with them to drop off Faith at her parents. I got to meet Elliot's wonderful sister. She was shocked because she only ever met Ricky and thought it would stay like that for a while.

   She obviously thought that I was his girlfriend but apologized when I told her the story of how we became good friends. She was shocked about how we've only been friends for a week and I knew this much about him and I was talking to her and playing with her daughter. I couldn't blame her.

  I talked with Elliot at lunch with Sarah and Ricky. It was really different in a good way. The tension disappeared and I felt like Elliot and I have been friends way longer than we have.

  It's now Tuesday morning. I had school and then fights tonight.

   I sighed as I shut my locker and turned around to go to my first class. I headed to class until I heard, "Little fighter?' being called down the hall and eyes were on us. Oh, how I hate being the center of attention here especially when it had to do with Elliot Anderson who I call my friend.

  He smiled at me and everyone moved out of his way but he didn't really care. He just walked over to me and put his arm across my shoulder and started walking with me again.

  "What are you doing, Elliot?" I asked and he smirked down at me.

  "I can't walk little fighter to class and ten minutes early by the way. That's way too early. Please don't tell me you're a nerd little fighter?' he teased and I pushed him making his arm fall off my shoulder and fall down to his side.

  I shrug and walk with him by my side. I glanced at him and he was doing it again. He looked out in the space and looked like he was in deep thought.

  I stopped and walked into an empty class room next to us. He gave me a confused look but still followed me and closed the door once we were both in there.

  "Are you doing okay? You were doing that in deep thought look." I say with worry and he sighs.

  "My parents and I got into an argument this morning about the wedding and my sister. It made me so mad. I hate them and how they talk about Layla like she's not their daughter. It makes no sense since my mom got pregnant with her at 18. It just pisses me off, you know?" He says with anger in his voice.

  I nod my head and give him a reassuring smile, "I understand, Elliot and I completely agree with you. You're not wrong to feel angry." I say looking deep into his eyes for him to hear me out and he takes a deep breath his eyes never leaving mine.

  "This anger is not  good when it all builds up. Trust me, I know. You need to let your anger out. How do you do that?" I say without thinking. I wanted to take it back but it was too late because after a long stare between us he replies.

  "I have a secret thing I do to let my anger out. No one knows about it. Not even Ricky or my sister." He says as he grabbed my hands and held them in front of us letting them go and swing a little. I knew he was looking for support and confidence..from me.

  He sighed, "I want to tell you and that makes me hate myself because I have never told anyone and I only just became friends with you but you are honestly too good of one to me. I feel like we've been friends longer than this. I'm speaking the truth."

  I nod my head, "I know and I'm not pressuring you to tell me anything but I know if you did, your secret will be kept with me and it would feel a lot better to tell someone who won't judge you.

  He looks at me what feels like forever and he opens his mouth to say something but the the bell rings for the warming bell.

  He walks me to class in silence but says to me before walking off to class, "Come to the arena at the street fighting down the street. If you don't know then ask around. I'll tell you there. See you at lunch."

  Oh, no. Why is this happening to me?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Lunch was really awkward. Elliot would keep looking at me like he was deciding if he should tell me or not. I would give him a small smile and he would return it.

  I can't believe he is going to tell me. I mean I already know but he doesn't know that his friend little friend does. Just when I thought my life couldn't get anymore confusing it did. It would be a little bit better for me to talk to him about it as Stephanie too but someday my parents or Sarah will say my real name and he will find out I am Sam and then that I'm Blue Night. Then, Sarah will find out why I wanted to be called Stephanie around him or Ricky. Then, the whole school will know who I am and that's not good.

  So I would just roll with it until I don't have to deal with Randy because of the fight and then me and Elliot could still be friends and eventually I could tell him after I am done fighting. If we're still friends then because that's what always happens in my life. Everyone soon leaves.

  I texted Elliot that I was on my way to the arena when I was really in my room. I layed out my attire and then headed out to the crowd. It's time for my acting skills to kick in. I hate that I have to do this when I know that we have a real friendship but with the biggest secret that I just want to tell but I can't. If he can tell me then I should tell him.

  I push that thought away and read the text that Elliot sent back.

Elliot :) - I am coming out to the crowd. Be in the second row.

I sigh and move my way to the second row where the reserved seats are. It's usually a friend of the fighters or a person who paid extra money.

  I looked at the ring where I fight people for a living. Where he destroys people in there. It's different to look from the audience instead of looking in the crowd of cheering fans.

  I felt a tap on my shoulder and I turned around to see Elliot. He had the same outfit he had on at school and I knew he was fighting soon so he should get dressed but I had to hold that in because I'm not supposed to know anything about this. Little fighter doesn't know at all.

  "Come on, follow me." He said and grabbed my hand and pulled me through he crowd. People were coming in and finding their seats. I see money, betting on who would win. People could get rich by watching me and Elliot.

  I look at where we're headed and I know that he is taking me back stage.

  He walks past my room that read my name taped on the door and then down the darker hall and to the room that said Randy Vicious on it. We stop in front of it.

  He takes a deep breath and opens the door as he gestures me to go inside and I do.

  "This is my secret that no one knows about. I am not just Elliot Anderson." He says as I look around his room.

It looked similar to mine and his mask and jeans were onthe chair ready for him to throw on. I take a deep breath and turn around.

  "You're Randy Viscous?" I ask hoping my acting skills are believable.

  He nods, "This morning, you asked how I let out all the anger. This is how I let it all out. It's my craving and it helps a lot. " He says and I smile at him.

  "You don't have to hang out with me anymore if you don't want to. I know being Randy Viscous can be a little intimidating. I'll be fine with it if you don't want to be friends anymore. I trust you'll keep my secret though." He says looking right at me.

  I shake my head, "No, it's not like that at all. I don't care if you are this or not. It doesn't change our friendship. I promise." I say looking back at him.

  He gives me a small smile and before I know it I am in his arms and he is squeezing me with his arms wrapped around.

  I sigh as I wrap my arms around him and hug him back. Once we pull away I smile at him, "I will be in the audience."

  He nods and I give him one more smile before I make my way out of his room. I take a deep breath once I am out in the hallway. I hate lying to him but it's what I have to do.

  I walk down the hall and back to the loud crowd. As I look at the ring I start to think. I can't be going soft and having these thoughts with Elliot. I am Blue Night the street fighter. I am visuous and I beat the shit out of people standing in my way. I am not this at all. I stopped being that me when my whole world came tumbling down and I stepped into the gym with my gloves.

  I take a deep breath as the annoucer starts introducing and saying all the fights tonight including my two. I watch two fights with four different fighters go by quickly. They were people who shouldn't be here because eventually they would reach me or other well known fighters and they'll regret it. They were becoming awful to watch as well. They've got to learn how to keep the crowd on their feet. People were practically dozing off and were happy when the matches were over.

  "Up next we have the RANDY.... VISUOUS!!".

  The crowd roared and now the show was starting and everyone was on their feet.

  "Then, we have the BLUE NIGHT!" The annoucer yelled through the microphone earning a bunch of cheers.

  "Blue Night Fight! Blue Night Fight!" The crowd chanted and the corner of my mouth lifted and it turned into a mischievous smile. I couldn't wait to get in there.

  The crowd boos and a few cheers came when Randy's competition came out.

  The crowd went crazy when Randy stepped out and I could barely see from the people in front of me with their hands up.

  He searched the crowd and spotted me and I gave him a weak wave which made him chuckle and beckons me to come to the front and people looked over at me. I hope no one from school saw because I would get a bunch of questions thrown at me. I already was getting attention form Elliot at school and now here.

  I sighed and walked by the glaring people in the front row. I was standing right in front of him now. Only the gate between us. He smiled at me and I smiled back.

  "Wish me good luck, little fighter." He whispered to me over the cheers that were gettig quieter.

  I leaned in a little, "Good luck, Elliot." I whispers only for him to hear.

  When I leaned back he grinned at me and walked towards the ring. He skillfully went between the ropes and turned on his game face. The same face he makes before he destroys his competitor and becomes Randy Viscous.

  Before the bell rang he turns toward me and the crowd and mouths, 'Thanks' to me and I grin in return.

  The bell rang and he does what he always does. He fights and destroys.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  The crowd went crazy from behind me. I was headed for back stage. Moving through the hectic crowd. The bell rings and I know Randy wins. I am next so I have to be quick to go and put my attire on.

  As soon as I make it to the backstage door I text Elliot.

Me - hey, I watched the fights. They were awesome and you did great. I got really tired though and I'm not used to the whole beating up thing so I went home to get some rest. Good night and I'll see you tomorrow :)

  I slid my phone back in my pocket and walked back stage and ran into my room. I quickly took off my top. I already had my sports bra on so I just slipped my hoodie on and flipped the hood up. I pull my jeans off and grab my tight, black shirt shorts and slid them on.

  I looked at the time on my phone. I officially got dressed in 1 1/2 minute. I sighed and walked out my room.

  I walk over to the cover and spotted Elliot with his jeans and mask still on. He put his phone on the table where all the fighters put them when they fight and everyone knows not to touch them.

  I looked at  himsmile a little at the screen and he began to type and he put his phone in his jeans pocket. He walked down the hall to his room.

  I felt the vibration in my hand and looked down at my phone.

  Elliot :)  - It's OK and I'll see you tomorrow. Good night ;)

  I smiled at my screen and I turned my phone off putting it on the table. Gosh, I feel like one of those highschool girls in the movies smiling at their phone screen when a boy texts them. I am not that at all.

  I sigh as I hear my name yelled through the microphone and the cheering crowd as I head out the curtain not looking back.

  I stop once I am out there and scan the crowd. The smiling faces and the arms up in the air. Their chant for me to fight and a fight is what they're going to get.

  I Smiled and headed towards the ring where my first competitor was who looks like she's about to shit her pants when I look right at her and smirk. I can tell she's trying to hide it though.

  I got into the ring as the chant continued. I smile and look around the crowd. My eyes land on the same familiar face. He looks at me and nods his head before winking at me and I wink back at him.

  I just pulled it off. I was in two places at once. To him Stephanie was here and so was Blue Night. He smiled at both girls but what he didn't know was that I was both of them. My life got so fucked up and confusing.

I guess that's the price to pay when you're Blue Night.
