How To Bake A Fighter

Chapter 2: The Secret Ingredients

*Millie*

"Dang it, Mills. Do you know how close you were out there to being revealed? Huh?! Of course you don't you....". Well if you haven't figured it out I'm in trouble....again. John has been dad-nagging me for the last 15 minutes while Tyler is bandaging me up. Just another normal day in my secret life." What if-"." OK, John. I get it. Just chill. You are going to have another heart attack if you keep going"." But-"." She's right, dad. I'll give her a good talkin' to her on our way to get her home", Tyler said, finishing my bandages and standing up"." But. Ty", I whined into a pout." No buts get you stuff Evan"." Ugh"! I got up, grabbed my bag, put my hood up tucking my hair back in, and marched out of the room with Tyler hot on my heels. I didn't have to even look up to know where I was going or to make sure everyone was out of the way because I knew they already were. These people see my destruction in the ring and no one dares to mess with me when I'm out of it in this place. No place like this second home. I shoved the back door open, before hearing it slam into someone instead of the usual wall. I turned to see a dark-headed boy about my age holding his now bleeding nose." What the hell, man", he shot me a deadly glare with his piercing light brown eyes. Apparently, he's never seen me fight, let alone know who I am. I just shrugged nonchalant and started towards my bike again when the kid grabbed my arm with a tug to stop me." At least apologize to me. Because you don't want to be on my bad side, especially if you know who I am", he sneered down at me." I can say the same to you punk", I gritted through my teeth and started to clench my fist. Finally, the back door behind this dude opened." Hey, M-. What the hell is going on here"!? Shoot, Tys mad now. He rushed over and jerked us apart." Have that punk apologize and we'll part ways for now", the bleeding jerk spoke warningly." You're joking, right? Do you know who this is", Ty said back surprised." Do you know who I am", he shot back, trying to intimidate us." Look if you want a free trip to the cemetery, I'll let Evan have you", Ty warned back stepping back with his hands up." I'm Victor and I'll never be put in the grave by a pipsqueak like him", he said disgusted at me. I exploded." Bring it on you frickin' punk. I've got all of the night to hide the body if you wanna go now". He looked startled at first and then leaned in closer to me, looking." Do I know you"?, he questioned." Yeah, I am a top fighter at this gym. Thank you for finally noticing", I said, smirking. He shook his head," No, not that. Your voice and smell are very familiar. Do you go to Riverside"? I masked my surprise with a blank face as I slid an eye towards Tyler. Crap, he's from our school." No, I don't go to some place that is filled with high-class snobs. You must have got someone else in mind". He kept staring at me intently for a couple more minutes until Tyler interrupted the awkwardness." Well, Evan. We have to go. Remember April's race is tonight or she'll ring both of our necks for being late". April is my fake girlfriend. Basically, I took pictures of myself in real girly clothes with loads of makeup to disguise myself in the photos." Oh shoot. She'll be mad if I miss another", I joked." Where's the race"?, the kid questioned." Why are you asking"?, I sneered back." Because I wanted to help you get where you need", he said in an honest-like tone.*snorts* yeah right really honest." And why would I need help"?, I gritted out." Because if you don't go to Riverside, then you probably do not go to school in this city", he responded in a duh tone." Where I go to school is my business not yours"!, I growled back. He just smirked and replied," I didn't say it was. I just wanted to know where the best fighter goes to school". I'm done with this, this frickin' i***t! "Well you can just keep wandering then you freak! Let's go Ty"." Ah I also remember that from somewhere"." What are you talking about"?" Oh nothing. You had best hurry to your girlfriend's race or she may break up with you and choose a real man like me". I was about to attack him when Tyler wrapped his arm around my shoulders." Come on Ev. Let's go". He led me to my baby, Lexi. A sapphire blue Harley Davidson fat boy shadow rocket. Which I climbed on and waited for him to grab his lime green 2007 V8 Challenger, Amy. That kid, calling himself Victor, was now surrounded by lots of people. Though none of them looked familiar, I had a feeling that they were onto me for some reason. Did they really go to my school? I tried to shrug it off but the burning sensation in the back of my head made me look back. He was still staring at me. His face held deep thought, though his expression was void of emotion. He really thinks he'll remember me. Suddenly as if hit by a revelation, he looked startled and shocked in my direction. Then, he started storming towards me with his buddies in tow. Shoot. I couldn't wait any longer for Tyler to get his car. I floored the throttle of my bike and shot out of the parking lot. I need to be more careful from now on.

A figure watch as the bikes' taillight faded into the night. I'm getting closer to figuring you out. I want to know. Who. You. Are. Evan.
