How To Bake A Fighter

Chapter 14: Adding Too Much of a Salt

*Millie*

I stormed out of the lunch room, pride and power radiating from my frimily (friends and family) and me. "I'm proud of you Mill. Finally taking on the powderpuff demon of high school", Tyler said, grinning excitedly. "She's going to regret everything by tonight don't worry at all", I smirked darkly. "Am I missing something?", Carrie asked curiously. "I think everyone is except for Tyler", Chris responded. "Stephanie is a two-toned bully with an unloving personality to anyone who isn't her type. Whether it's a date, a crush on, or a part of her s****y a** crew. If you don't fit her "goddess goodness" life, then she makes your life worse than a hell-hit hooker", I snarled. "Let me guess, girl. She crossed you too?", Carrie chuckled. "For too long. So this will be my way of saying so long to the s*** of stands", I growled. "Yeah, another mouth I have to pay shut", Chris grumbled. "That's right sweet cheeks", I grinned. "It will cost you this go around sweetheart", he said before doing fish lips. "Dude, that's my sister!", Jamie said shivering before walking away with Tyler and Carrie in tow, leaving Chris and I in the empty corridor. "So what will be your choice of payment today? Kish or pizsa?", Chris asked like a restaurant waiter. "Pizsa", I chuckled out. He walked closer towards me, backing against the lockers with his hands on both sides of me. "And how will the tip be paid?", he questioned, smirking. "Kish", I said, smirking. He leaned towards me, our faces inches about and closing til they touched. No, it's not the first time this has happened and probably won't be the last. We made this 'payment plan' a long time ago but Chris and I are the only ones that have continued it. He pecked my lips softly before moving away. It never got out of hand. Just a peck and we pizsa, the rest is our slogan. "Strawberries mmm", Chris mumbled, making me laugh as the bell sounded. "See ya soon, Christy", I whispered. Time to get the rest of the day done so I can do my best to forget that b***h a**. I started to get a funny feeling as the day went on with a cold chill hitting my back. Weird, right?

*Lucas*

Are they together?!?! I stared at the kissing couple in the hallway, watched her laugh at his comment, and left for class without moving an inch. "Hey bro. You're good?", Ron asked, bumping my arm. "Yeah let's go", I grumbled. I felt my knuckles constricted into tight balls as I kept seeing the event in my head. How long have they been together? Why didn't she say anything? Who is he? Why is he the lucky one? The thoughts raced through my head like nassar cars. They turned in circles as if revolving around one question. What am I to her? I sat through class as the day blurred. She sat quietly in the middle of the room, until her friends or brother joined the class. Then she was loud and energetic, a completely different person. I stared at her trying to figure out her game, her mystery self. "Luke? Luke? Lucas!", someone broke through my thoughts with a high pitched voice screamed into my ear. "Yes, Stephanie", I gritted out. "You weren't listening to me, baby!", she pouted. This chick is so annoying! "Anyways, I was saying how bad I'm going to beat that s**t in the ring today", she smirked cockily. She will take you down in 5 minutes flat, I thought, smirking. The bell sounded at the end as a sound of freedom started to bring to life a chorus of excited high schoolers. "Mills, let's head to the hangout", I heard Tyler shout over the crowd. "Hell ya! Good cooking here I come", the Chris kid said, throwing his arm around the now laughing Millie. "Well I guess I missed my chance for now", Ted grit out. Yeah I guess so. I watched them basically waltz out of the room together. I flew out of the classroom, down the hallway, and into the parking lot not caring about anything or anyone, my mind blurred by anger until her voice rang out across the parking lot stopping me in my tracks. "What the hell did you say you a**hole of s**ts", Millie growled lowly. I turned to see Stephanie standing near her with her hands all over that Chris kid, who for some reason looked like he was about to lose it to humor. "I just said that a hooker girl like you may not be able to satisfy him like I could, honey. I mean, that's not a big deal. I'm the woman who can satisfy the best men in the world", Stephanie smirked, still feeling up on that Chris kid. Millie's fiery filled eyes, clenched fists, and sealed lips said it all; She was p****d off bad. Her brother and Tyler stared at the scene as if they were waiting to stop a war. The girl, Carrie, was walking towards them cheerfully until her sight landed on Stephanie's actions and she stiffened with anger next to Millie. "Who's this b****a** loving up on my brother", Carrie raised her voice unnoticeably. "How dare you call me a b****a**! I'm not as s****y as that b****", Stephanie said, pointing at Millie. "Let me take her down for you! I'll kick her a**! How dare you call a teapot black, you kettle!", Carrie screamed angrily, running towards her. "Ty", Millie barely gritted out. Suddenly, Tyler grabbed Carrie, chuckling her fit throwing antics to get Stephanie. "Tyler Carlos Cook! Let me go after that *beep* *beep* *beep*. You better let me go now you little *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep*", Carrie screamed, making the majority of us down our mouths to the girl who was as quiet as Millie cussing like a sailor. Tyler laughed even harder the more she cussed him out. "Carrie comet!", Millie hissed after 5 minutes of her best friend yelling and the rest of them in a laughter fit. Her eyes are still locked with Stephanie. "You wordless by the truth w***e?", Stephanie taunted the silent Millie. Millie's silence was just like last night. She reached into her pocket and started pulling something out. "Omg! She has a weapon! She's going to kill me!", Stephanie screamed in panic. "Chill you chicken s**t", Millie growled, holding up her phone and speaker before scrolling through it. I know what that means, s***s bout to hit the fan. "What are you calling your mommy", Stephanie said, rubbing her eyes in a fake cry, making some jocks laugh. "Nope", Millie said throwing her jacket to Jamie grinning excitedly. "She's getting on her speed dial for her sugar daddies to save her then", Stephanie boomed making more jocks laugh. "Wrong again, twinkle toes", Millie said stretching before gleaming to the smiling Carrie. "Then what was it, b****", Stephanie snapped. Millie smiled with a nod. *Music starting*. "A fever pitch", she smirked as she started to circle her.

*Playing Rolling in the Deep by Adele*.

(Stepping closer to the beat, getting into position)

There's a fire starting in my heart. Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark. Finally I can see you crystal clear. Go 'head and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare.

(Punch Punch duck with a quickening pace)

See how I leave with every piece of you. Don't underestimate the things that I will do

There's a fire starting in my heart. Reaching a fever pitch and its bringing me out the dark.

(Punch punch kick encircle repeat)

The scars of your love remind me of us. They keep me thinking that we almost had it all.The scars of your love they leave me breathless, I can't help feeling. We could have had it all (you're gonna wish you never had met me). Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep). You had my heart inside of your hand (you're gonna wish you never had met me). And you played it to the beat (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

(Punch block Punch kick encircle repeat)

Baby I have no story to be told. But I've heard one on you and I'm gonna make your head burn.Think of me in the depths of your despair. Making a home down there 'cause mine sure won't be shared.

(Punch punch kick encircle repeat)

The scars of your love remind me of us (you're gonna wish you never had met me). They keep me thinking that we almost had it all (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep). The scars of your love they leave me breathless, I can't help feeling. We could have had it all (you're gonna wish you never had met me). Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep). You had my heart inside of your hand (you're gonna wish you never had met me). And you played it to the beat (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

(Punch block repeat)

We could've had it all. Rolling in the deep. You had my heart inside your hand. But you played it with a beating

(Punch block Punch kick encircle repeat)

Throw your soul through every open door. Count your blessings to find what you look for

Turned my sorrow into treasured gold. You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow.

(Punch punch kick encircle repeat)

we could've had it all. We could've had it all (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep). It all, it all, it all, (you're gonna wish you never had met me). We could have had it all (you're gonna wish you never had met me). Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep). You had my heart inside of your hand (you're gonna wish you never had met me). And you played it to the beat (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

(Punch, block, kick encircle, repeat)

We could've had it all (you're gonna wish you never had met me). Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep). You had my heart inside your hand (you're gonna wish you never had met me). But you played it, you played it, you played it, you played it to the beat. (Roundhouse kicks the exhausted Stephanie onto the ground with a thud).

"Bada**", Ted sighed in awe as Millie panted lightly from the workout she had just done. But for some reason, it annoys me that he likes her. I wonder why?
