"B-but what happened?" Toby asked and I rolled my eyes.

"Well I lost the glasses," I said in a 'duh' tone.

"What is like the big deal?" Ashley asked and I knew that she was trying to mask her attitude.

"Wow, your hot," Toby said and Cara glared at me.

"Um thanks?" I said unsurely. I didn't know if that was a compliment or insult.

"Come on you guys, this is the nerd that we are talking about," Daisy said gesturing to me.

"Hope you guys enjoy your breakfast," I said ducking away from them. I walked behind the counter and Rick saw my move.

"Sorry Max," Rick said sympathetically and I waved him off.

"It's okay. I was going to face them soon or later," I said reassuring him.

"Well let me just say that my son is an idiot for not standing up for you," Rick said and I laughed.

"You always seem to cheer me up," I said with a genuine smile and turned back to the table when I saw Daisy waving her hand at me.

"Looks like you are needed," Rick said and I groaned and walked over to the table with a smile.

"How may I help you?" I asked nicely.

"My water is iced and I didn't ask for iced," Daisy said and I mentally scoffed.

"You didn't mention that you wanted it without ice," I said and took a deep breath, "But I am happy to replace it for you." She smiled and all three of them dumped their water onto me and I slipped on an ice cube landing on my butt. Alex stood there wide-eyed and so did Rick.

"Did you seriously think that a makeover would get you boys?" Daisy asked while Ashley and Cara snickered.

"That wasn't the reason why I did," I muttered under my breath.

Then Ronnie and Toby jumped out of the booth and helped me up.

"Here let me help you," Ronnie said holding my back and helped my stand up while Toby held my hand.

"Hmph!" Daisy said with complete and utter disgust before dragging Caleb and storming off. Then Ashley and Cara took one last look at me before following Daisy.

"Thanks," I said sheepishly while rubbing my arm.

"That was not your fault," Ronnie said and I smiled at him.

"Well I can't say that it was not hers also," I said walking to get the mop and started to dry off the floor. Toby and Ronnie went back to their seats and started eating their food while Caleb's and the girls' foods were left uneaten. I mopped up the water before returning to serve other tables.

"That looked like it hurt," Alex said with sympathy and I shrugged.

"Yeah, at least it didn't get any of my clothes wet. I missed the puddle," I said with a light chuckle.

"Well I am totally getting back at them," Alex said holding her fist and I shook my head.

"I think we got back at them when Ronnie and Toby went to help me up," I said chuckling.

"My idiotic brother didn't help you up," Alex said bitterly.

"It's okay Alex," I said.

"Well Alex is right. My son is an idiot," Rick said and I laughed.

"I feel better just hearing that," I said and went to Ronnie's table.

"Can we have the check?" Toby asked and I nodded getting their check and giving it to them. Ronnie gave me a 100-dollar bill and I went to the cash register to get his change.

"Here is your change," I said giving him the change.

"No you keep it, count it as your tip and sorry for Daisy making you slip," Ronnie said with reassuring eyes.

"No, it's totally fine," I said, "I have dealt with worse."

"No keep it," Toby assured me, "Also a sorry for being such a jerk to you back in high school."

"Okay, thank you so much," I said and Ronnie gave me a hug.

"Bye guys," I said waving to them and they exited the café. I put the money back into the cash register, but Rick stopped me.

"Keep that money," Rick said and I shook my head.

"For all the times when I didn't pay for my breakfast," I said and Rick chuckled.

"Okay, that means that I am allowed to give you free food?" Rick asked and I nodded.

"If you want," I said and went to the next table. The thing that hurt me about what happened was Caleb didn't help me up. I knew I liked him, but I don't know if I still now. Soon my shift was over and I dropped Macy at my Mom's work so I could get ready for my fight today.

***

"We are in for a great fight today! Over here at 5'8" is Stone Fox!" the announcer said and I walked into the ring and pumped my fist into the air, "And over here is the Master Crusher at 6'5"!" I almost gulped because I haven't fought someone that big in a while, but I knew that I could take him down. I had plenty of steam to let off.

"You are going down Stone Fox," Master Crusher spat at me.

"I don't know about that," I smirked.

"And fight!" the announcer yelled and the bell was rung. I immediately punched him right in the face and kicked him in the knees. He stumbled back and threw a punch at my stomach and my jaw. I didn't know why everyone aimed in the same place! I returned back with a series of punches and kicks just thinking of my routine on a punching bag. He pinned me down, but I kicked him in the stomach and pinned him down. Soon after many punches, he was knocked out and I was declared the winner. I actually got 5,000 dollars for this fight because more people bet on Master Crusher. Oh did I prove them wrong. After a couple more fights I received a total of 10,000 dollars today. It was probably because most of the people that I fought had a good history at other street fighting places. Immediately, I walked into the changing room, changed into regular clothes, and exited the room like nothing happened.

"Wow, do you need to let off more steam?" Alex whispered at me, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," I said brushing her off, "Let's just get to the car. I am exhausted."

Ace's POV:

"God, look at how hard Stone Fox's punches are," Martin said wincing after the Master Crusher had another blow from Stone Fox.

"I know right, I don't think I want to mess with her right now," I said.

"No duh Sherlock," Martin muttered and I punched him in the arm, "Ow, hurtful."

"That's my line dude, never mess with a guy's catchphrases."

"It's not exactly a catchphrase," Martin said, "Did we like switch bodies because usually I am the stupid one and you're the oh this and oh that guy."

"Shut up," I said focusing on Stone Fox. She won the fight, but I could see that Master Crusher probably had a broken nose and a couple of broken ribs.

"I was even thinking of suggesting her for another fight, but I don't think that we want to send anyone else to the hospital besides the ones that she already fought," Martin said after all her fights.

"Yeah I know right," I said and saw Stone Fox go into the girl's locker rooms. I turned back to Martin and saw him flirting with a girl. She had the stereotypical blonde hair and super short shorts.

"Hey man!" I said and hit him on the back of the head. He rubbed his head and turned to me.

"What was that for?" he asked and I motioned him outside. We both walked outside while Martin was muttering incoherent things.

"Why are you talking to her?" I asked emphasizing her.

"Do you know her?" Martin asked and I shook my head.

"She seems like one of those Queen Bees in school who flirts with every guy," I explained and Martin rolled his eyes.

"That's dumb man, even for you. What happened to the heartthrob Ace?" Martin asked with clear anger.

"Nothing," I said simply and Martin scoffed.

"Let me guess, Max is still on your mind. Seriously I haven't even met her yet and she is also on my mind. You have meet her and I bet she is all you think about," Martin said crossing his arms and leaning on his motorcycle.

"Shut up," I said menacingly and he held up his arms in surrender.

"What happened?" he asked, "I know you."

"Fine. I snapped at her when she found me with blood on my knuckles. I told you about my father coming back right?," I asked and Martin nodded.

"Ooh, that should sting, how did Max react?" Martin asked with pity in his eyes.

"Well she got pretty mad, but I didn't really see it and I was an idiot not to apologize to her," I said and Martin nodded as if he understood, "I really regret not running after her."
