energetically walk towards his opponent with a bloody nose. Tony
throws another punch at him and he dug. Without warning he seizes Tony by his
head with both hands and jump with one of his knee heading for his opponent’s
face.
    It
fiercely made a full contact under Tony’s chin that it upset his balance and he
land on his butt. He was shock as it turns out to be an unexpected move. The
crowd cheer at Michael and laugh at his opponent. Tony wipes his bleeding nose
with one hand as his gang moves closer to Michael. They all stare at their
opponent as they slowly head towards him. 
    Coach
got into the middle. He quickly blows a whistle to get everybody’s attention. Everybody
stand still, look at him and he angrily scream at them, ‘Both of you! In my
office ,… now!’
    ‘You’re
lucky you’re still standing. My boyfriend would have kicked your ass.’ Hailey
said to Michael.
    ‘Shut
up whore, you’re a disgrace to your kind for the type of man you call
boyfriend. Wake up and taste reality. Your future will be bleak and darker with
him.’ Michael said.
    This
took Hailey by surprise that she stays quiet, shows sign of reflecting on the
offensive language which she must had been aware that they were partly facts.
    ‘Who
are you calling Whore?’ Tony aggressively demands for reasoning as he
approaches his nemesis.
    ‘I
said both of you in my office. Shall we take it to the principal’s office so
that you both may be expels from the school? Your choice if you want to
graduate or not.’ Coach said as he aggressively points his finger to explain
their options.
    ‘Phil,’
a young lady’s voice said from the back.
    I
have seen her coming towards me before the fight started. I had expected her
but I pretended to be occupied by the comic scenery. What I had failed to
prepare for was how to respond to her. Perhaps there’s no such thing as a
proper way to respond to the opposite, be myself and act normal .  
    ‘Phil.
Are you ignoring me?’
    I
turn around and we were facing each other. Inexperience and nervousness hit me.
‘Yes, are you talking to me?’
    ‘You
see what I meant?’
    ‘What...
What is it?’ I asked in a stammering motion.
    ‘Why
am I under the impression that you’re trying to ignore me?’
    ‘M…Maybe.’
I said stuttering and swallowing the sentence.
    She
smile and shy away from staring at me in the eyes. Unsure she chose to look at
her feet instead of me. At that time I knew that she must had been embarrassed as
well. Then she looked at me straight again through the eyes. As if she was
determined to know what I was thinking.
    ‘Yes?’
She timidly asked as she looks away.
    ‘Maybe
because I can’t think straight once beautiful eyes like yours stares at me,’
there was a pause. We both shyly glance into each other’s eyes. ‘As if staring
through the windows of my soul,’ I respond nervously.
    ‘Wow,
the windows of your soul. It sounds a bit like poetry.’
    ‘I
meant the way we stare through each other’s eyes.’
    ‘Yes,
I know but I want to know what you really meant by it?’ she joyfully teased.
    ‘Well,
it’s a start to build something. I call it a bridge of love. Where, it all
begins……’
    ‘The
beginning of a relationship…….,’she whispered.
    ‘Exactly…….Maybe
we should hang out together?’
    ‘Why?’
    ‘I
like you.’
    She
smile and I smile back at her while we both stare into each other’s eyes with a
passion. I could feel some kind of connection being built between us. A bond of
friendship and a desire of a new beginning of a new found matured feelings
known only as love. It was all around us. It was an unexplained pleasant
feeling which came out from the gut of my soul.  
    ‘You
don’t have to.’ Samantha said as she smiles. ‘You’ve got yourself a number one
fan!’ Samantha added as she exclaims heartily. 
    I
was speechless. She noticed that I was out of words. She smile and I return the
same gesture. Then Samantha said as she walks
