Melanie laughed again unable to tell if Alexia was lying or serious. Had she gone stupid and fallen in love with Raymond or was she just pretending? But before she could ask, Brian and Raymond arrived at the table."What's funny?" inquired Brian.Trying to suppress her laughter, Melanie replied. "Alexia was just telling me a joke."Alexia gritted her teeth.Brian and Raymond had the same look of confusion on their faces. Since when did they start bonding?"Anyway, where is my food?" Melanie asked after her laughter died down.Brian's eyes widened. He hit his palm on his forehead. "Dang it. I knew I was forgetting something."The bet he made with Raymond caused him to forget the reason why he was there in the first place. Melanie crossed her arms. "What have you been doing all this while?""Hey, Alexia. Wanna dance?" Raymond asked."Yes." Alexia, who was grateful for the opportunity to leave, got up and took Raymond's hand. Together, they stepped away from the exclusive table.Brian
Gabe tightened his grip and pushed Brian's hand downwards. His biceps popped out his short sleeve.Brian applied the same amount of force in pushing Gabe's hand, resting his hips on the table."Gabe! Gabe!! Gabe!!!" cheered the students around supporting Gabe. But it was obvious they were evenly matched because their arms kept moving back and forth after a minute.Gabe frowned. Since when did Brian become this strong? He thought he would have won under thirty seconds. Turns out he was wrong. But that doesn't mean Brian was stronger. He added more force to his push. "Getting tired, already?" Brian scorned. Gabe grunted and pushed harder. His muscles popped stronger.Brian chuckled. He squeezed his hand around Gabe's knuckles and wriggled his palms, wriggling his knuckles too.Gabe hissed, feeling the joints of his knuckles crack. The distraction was enough for Brian to suddenly apply a large amount of force and pin Gabe's hand on the table."Whooo," the student cheered and clapped.
Brian struggled to keep his arm from moving downward. The way Raymond kept his hand on his made it difficult for him to move. He recognized this technique as the one Melanie always used to defeat him. He had never won when Melanie used this technique. What would be do?Raymond kept pressing harder and harder. "Raymond! Raymond!! Raymond!!!" The whole students cheered when they saw that Raymond was gaining the upper hand. Brian knew he had to do something or he would fail. Then he remembered a technique Charlene thought hi.He dropped his wrist back. This made it harder for Raymond to push his arm down. He frowned and exerted more force. Brian grunted but held his position. The students stopped cheering and watched what was going on.Raymond kept pushing and pushing but the way Brian dropped his wrist made it hard to push. Eventually, Raymond's arm started to ache and tremble. He didn't want Brian to know this so he put on a confident smile like he was winning.The students saw t
No one said a word after the shocking announcement.Brian stared at the MC in disbelief. Did he misinterpret that? How was this possible?After some seconds of silence, the students screamed in jubilation. Raymond waved at everyone, grinning. Brian glared at him. He had been so sure he was going to win. Every student he eavesdropped on said they voted for him so how on earth did Raymond win this? "And taking the second position, with one hundred and nineteen votes is Brian Ashton." The MC said, but in all the jubilation, Brian wasn't sure if he was heard. Two seniors climbed the stage with a crown and sash bearing the words, "King of Ball." Brian clutched his fist. He now understood how Alexia must have felt when she lost the gown."Congratulations, Raymond." The MC said. "Come give a little speech to everyone."Raymond's shoulder slightly bumped into Brian as he walked past him. Raymond cleared his throat. "Oh my God. Thank you guys. Three times in a row? Gosh, y'all are amazin
Gabe screamed and staggered back. His friends held him from falling.Melanie's chest moved upward and downward repeatedly as she glared at Gabe. "How dare you?" she spat."You bitch. I'll get you for that." Gabe released himself from the hold of his friends and threw a punch at Melanie.Melanie was prepared to dodge but Brian caught Gabe's fist in a shift movement."You shouldn't hit a girl, jerk." He pushed him back.As angry as he was with Melanie, he couldn't stand and watch someone assault her. Especially Gabe. Gabe steadied himself. "Oh, the hero comes to save his girlfriend.""Exactly, now get out of here." "Not until she gets what she deserves and you give me my money back. Stand back." "I warned you before the game that you won't get a dime out of the money and I'm serious about it. So leave now, unless you want to start a fight you can't win." Brian said, his voice filled with so much coldness that it frightened Gabe for a minute. But he shook it off. He had bullied Bri
Standing with their body turned to the side, Raymond and Brian circled, their fist curled up. All the people in the parking lot, Melanie, Charlene, Gabe, and the others backed away and stood behind a car. Tension was in the air. The same question was on everyone's mind as they anticipated the start of the fight. Eventually, Raymond decided to take the first. move. He targeted a blow at Brian's gut. Brian lowered his arms and blocked it. He raised his legs at Raymond's ear. Raymond crouched down and tried to jab Brian as he stood up. Brian tilted his head backward and jumped back, creating some distance between them. Brian wriggled his fingers and curled them back. Brian realized Raymond seemed to possess some fighting skill, unlike Gabe. Raymond charged again and the fight intensified. It was like watching a Jackie Chan movie. Both threw different attacks but they just kept defending them. Just like in the arm wrestling, they were evenly matched. Studying his movement, Bria
Charlene had never seen Dalton look so angry before. His face, calm before, now looked fierce and cold. Dalton's eyes seemed to throw daggers as he breathed heavily with his fist tightened. Raymond stared at him from head to toe. Wasn't this the friendless dude from the Medicine department? "How dare you hit me, you scumbag?" Raymond yelled, his face contorted with fury. He got up and approached Dalton. "You'll pay for that. You little piece of...ah." Dalton hit his elbow hard on Raymond's nose while he was still speaking. Raymond screamed and staggered back. Blood oozed out of his nose. "You...you broke my nose," Raymond said in disbelief, covering his nose. "Yeah. Try anything else and I'll break more than your nose." Dalton threatened. His voice didn't have the calmness it had before. Dalton didn't look like the cute and calm guy Charlene once knew. She was taken aback by this new version of him. Even Raymond was surprised. His fierce look was enough to frighten him. Da
