Rivals in the Ring

ch4:He saved Her

Selena did not want to go to the academy but if she doesn't go, Adrian would take her for her a coward. So she pushed herself to go there.On reaching the spot, Adrian taught her the punching techniques today. Suddenly she heard her phone ringing, and saw her Mother's name on it. She picked it.

"When should I come to take you?"

"Let me ask."

Selena searched for Adrian as he left after instructing her to practise whatever has been taught so far.

He asked a girl passing by, "Excuse me, have you seen Adrian?"

She nodded and pointed towards the locker.

Selena walked towards the male locker room.She knocked thrice. A manly voice said, "Come in."

Selena thought Adrian asked her to come in. On entering, she found two three boys standing in a circle and discussing something. A boy looked at her and and jeered.

"What a showcase of beauty... in the men's locker room. Wowwwww."

The boy moved one step closer to Selena at a time. Selena moved back. She was preparing herself to fight. But the boy was strong enought he pushed her to a locker door. He pressed her hands against the locker. Selena tried her best to free herself, but all her efforts proved to be in vain because the boy was strong boxer. Selena kicked him in the leg. With one hand he held her wrists and with the other he held her legs. The other boys were enjoying the scene. Selena screamed.

She suddenly heard,a very familiar strong voice, "Alex.... Leave her."

Alex didn't move a bit. The owner of the voice came and pushed him.

"Out Everyone.. Now!!!"

The locker room was soon empty. Selena sat on the floor. Her hands were trembling.

Adrian looked at her with disgust, "So, desperate to seek male attention that you enter the boy's room."

Saying this, he left.

Selena's mind was recalling the flashback of an incident. She whimpered and sobbed in the empty locker room.

A month has passed since the thing happened. Harris has returned and is happy with Selena's progress. Selena has not fought with Adrian for these few days.

Adrian was surprised. Ben knew what happened to Selena and tried to cheer her up in as many ways possible. She attended all the classes and boxing practice but has never said a word to Adrian.
