In A Different Time | COMPLETED

Combat

Payton wiped Zelda off her feet once more the girl fell to the ground. She groaned getting up from the mat while rubbing her sore spot.

Zelda didn’t waste time she launch a punch her way but Payton successfully stopped it, by gripping her fist in her palm.

“You punch like a girl.” Payton mocked again, they had been mocking each other through out the start then mercilessly throwing eachother to the ground. Payton released her fist annoyingly smirking at Zelda.

Zelda shrugged looking beyond annoyed. “It’s because I am one.” she spat trying to end the conversation she threw another punch.

This time it landed successful on Payton, she lightly groaned glaring at Zelda. Before anything could come from Payton Zelda slid her foot on the ground tackling Payton’s legs.

The girl instantly came falling down not expecting it at all. Payton laid on the mat trying to process what happened to her, how could Zelda swipe her off her feet so fast.

A shadow came over her laying down body. Zelda hovered over her with a silly smirk on her face, firstly she was proud of herself and what she did. Secondly she couldn’t believe she took down Payton, she had been trying but failed.

“Does it hurt like a b***h?” Zelda taunted looking down on Payton with both eyebrows raised.

Payton rolled her eyes, lifting up her arms she gaze at Zelda but the girl just stood there with arms crossed. “Help me up.” Payton spoke waiting for her help.

Zelda smiled down on her once again. “Are you sure you want these girl hands to lift you up. I mean I do lift things like a girl just like how I kicked your ass.” she shoved the win in her face once again with a more teasing tone.

“You are one annoying girl you know that.” Payton stated sitting down from laying on the mat, her legs bent in front of her.

Zelda agreed with a vigorous head nod and a huge smile. “Yeah I do. Come on.” she held out her hands to Payton who took them willing. But instead of allowing Zelda to help her up Payton pulling her down with her strength.

Zelda came falling down on Payton, Zelda seemed shocked while Payton smiled successful. Zelda rolled off Payton resting her back on the mat just like Payton was. “I should have known. Real mature Payton.” she scolded shoving Payton.

Payton held back her laughter looking at Zelda over her shoulder she couldn’t help but giggle. “Probably should have. So mature.” Zelda rolled her eyes playfully as Payton laughed.

The students around them just simply didn’t involve themselves but Payton’s friends are not those students. Tina and Amber got their friends attention gesturing for them to look at Payton.

“You did that didn’t you?” Dixie questioned her girlfriend as she rested her arm on her shoulder. “We did that.” Amber corrected nudging Tina on the side.

They smiled down on eachother as soon as they did they took their attention back to the couple laid on the ground. Luckily for them and Payton Cade wasn’t anywhere near them.

They chuckled as they watched Zelda shove Payton to stop laughing. “Stop laughing it’s annoying.” this time she poked Payton continuously on the shoulder but Payton hadn’t stopped.

Payton held up her left hand towards Zelda trying to make her stop. “Then stop poking me.” she said in between laughs.

Zelda stopped after one last poke on her stomach, Payton rolled over to her side. She looked at Zelda with both her eye brows raised. “That was rather cruel of you to do Zelda.” she rested her head on her palm speaking.

Zelda rolled her eyes rolling over to the side like Payton, her head rested on her palm as well as she had her elbow on the mat. “I was just doing what you did.” she pointed.

“Yeah but it was fun. Let me show you.” before Zelda could ask what she meant by that, Payton knelt down then instantly became tickling Zelda.

The girl bursted out in laughter and laying on her back once more. She tried kicking Payton off but the tickles kept on coming even more. “Stop... Plea—” she broke out laughing once more, tears filled her eye lids as she struggled for breath.

Payton smiled victorious, still continuing tickling Zelda on the floor she spoke. “No anytime soon!” then she tickled her again not giving her any room to breath.

Mr. Derek monitored his students as some fought others rested on the ground. His face filled with confusion once he saw two girls tickling eachother, once he looked closer he saw Payton busy tickling the life out of Zelda instead of fighting.

Mr. Derek pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers sighing. “Girls!” he shouted, loud enough for all the students to hear him. They all noticed where his eyes laid, Payton jumped off Zelda giving her room to breath. The girl laid on the mat catching her breath.

Payton looked at Mr. Derek with an innocent smile, all he did was shake his head in amusement. “Stop being inappropriate.” he pointed his finger from Zelda to her, Payton just swift nodded daring not to touch Zelda.

Cade walked up to Mr. Derek all sweaty from the rapid exercise. They only reason he walked up to the teacher was because he saw how Payton was too close with his girlfriend.

He glared towards Payton’s direction then his undivided attention was on Mr. Derek. “Sir I have a suggestion. Why don’t we make it fun.” Cade suggested with a cunning smile and kind persuading tone.

Mr. Derek looked at his student, one of his best student from his class with clear confusion on his face. “How?” he asked Cade.

Each student on the field was actually paying attention to their conversation but none bothered to engage.

Cade smiled, “Our class champion verses their class champion.” he spoke loud enough to hear, some students had already began agreeing with nods. They wanted to rest and if fighting offered that they would willingly take it. Even Mr. Derek seemed to be weighting the options.

“Till the death.” he added in a deep and dark tone as he saw most agreed. When they heard him saw that no expression came over their shocked faces, they were all at lost of words.

Cade laughed trying to lighten their moods, they all seemed like a ghost had passed by them leaving nothing but a sober mood. “Guys I’m joking!” he reassured them still giggling under his breath.

Payton shook her head as she watched the insane boy. “I’m afraid his not.” she whispered to herself feeling sorry for who ever he wanted to fight.

Mr. Derek still stood there trying to process the bit of information, whether it was worth it or not.

Thinking hard on it Mr. Derek smiled at Cade with an approving nod. It would be a great way to teach them and shoe each student how to fight. “That’s not bad your abilities and magic allowed but no death.” Mr. Derek stated.

That idea Cade liked a lot mostly with who he knew he would fight. Pressing his palms together he looked to the crowd of students. “That’s great so who am I fighting?” he asked.

“Payton!” a random student shouted with full excitement and it seemed the rest of the class agreed.

Payton sat on the mat with an emotionless face trying to make it all just a dream, she could possibly not have heard right.

A few seconds later she locked eyes with her opponent. She felt a cold shiver pass down her spine as his eyes pierced through her and a devilish smirk appeared on his face.
