The Street Fighter Meets The Gang Leader

It had been only a few days since the new guys had joined the school and they were getting popular, fast. Apart from their popularity, another thing that was rising was their rivalry with Dominic. Dominic's reputation didn't falter however, she stood her ground and spent her days as normally as she could. Well, her normal anyway.

School began and just like any other day, Dominic walked towards her locker with a monotone face, clearly showing her disinterest to the people around her.

She opened her locker and took out the necessary books. She had maths first, a subject she found interesting but wasn't thrilled about. But it didn't matter, she thought. She just closed her locker and turned around hoping to avoid the said guys that seemed to bother her all the time just because she was stealing the attention they believed belonged solely to them.

Yet it seemed that luck wasn't on her side and just as she had turned, she had bumped-pretty roughly-into Blake who's locker was only a couple of rows down.

Blake was a guy who minded his business, he paid attention to people who paid attention to him and ignored those who ignored him. He was cool-headed but also a flirt. He looked relaxed, but he was strong. Dominic could relate to him, could respect him the most out of the rest. In fact, he interested her, but she knew that with the way everything is going there was no use trying to interact with him. She didn't need any more trouble.

After they had bumped into each other, they both stood and stared. To be honest, Dominic was surprised that he hadn't made a mean comment yet, that he was actually silent. He was probably waiting for her to apologise, but Dominic knew better than to do what people want her to. "Are you going to apologise?" she asked first, her voice showed no interest, yet it did make Blake quirk his eyebrow in amusement.

"For bumping into you?" he asked, a little smirk forming on his face as he did, "No." He continued but instead of walking on, he stayed still, wanting to see the demon's reaction but to his surprise, she was relatively calm. As if she was expecting his answer.

Blake was interested in Dominic just as much or perhaps even more than she was him. Maybe it was the way she dressed, acted or spoke, he wasn't sure. Yet what he did know was that he wanted something from her, and he was going to get it.

Dominic then cocked her head slightly to the side, making herself look in a way...innocent, in Blake's eyes. "You're not going to shove me away or insult me like the rest of your group?" she asked, her monotone voice now replaced with a speck of curiosity. She was almost certain all of them were the same, going to treat her the same, but he hadn't. So now she wanted to know if there was something more to him, something that she could benefit from. His own thoughts were similar. Getting to know the most mysterious yet feared girl in school? Count him in.

"Bullying isn't my scene. If you hit me, I'll fuck you up. If you love me..." he trailed and stepped closer to Dominic, but she didn't back away, instead she looked right into his eyes. Both of them breathing the same air. She could tell he had bad intentions and that she couldn't trust him and so stood on guard, ready to fuck him up if he came any closer.

"That won't be the case. You see, demons don't believe in love" Dominic defended and Blake backed off slowly, smirk even wider than it was previously.

"Good. You're not like the other annoying chicks in this school."

"You didn't realise before?" Dominic asked in reply and started walking forward, knowing that the bell was going to ring any time soon.

"Oh no I definitely did, I just had to make sure I wasn't going to disappoint myself." Dominic scoffed at his statement but didn't say anything. Instead she stayed cautious of his presence following behind her.

"You have maths, right?"

"The fact that you know that concerns me."

Their conversations strangely went smoothly. It was as if they knew each other and knew how the other was going to reply. As if they were friends.

"Well, I was supposed to be paired up with you for a while since 'I'm new and need help,' but since Nick has it in for you, we decided to follow his lead instead. Why does he hate you anyway?" Blake asked with his hands in his pockets, but attention was focused on her.

"Heck if I know. It's probably because you guys follow him every word so when I don't 'obey' him, he gets mad. It's common so I'm not relatively surprised."

"We do not 'follow his every word"" Blake defended while taking out his timetable and the map of the school that he was given.

"I'm not sure I believe you" Dominic added, not satisfied.

"Do you all come from the same place? How come you all moved to this school?" She asked, curiosity getting the best of her now. She had wondered a lot about them. She likes knowing as much as possible about the people that she's around and since these guys are probably going to be here for the rest of senior high school she knew she was going to have to get used to them.

"I was born here but moved to England with my brother when we were 15, that's where we met Nick and well, we grew close to him and the rest of the guys so we just stuck together. Now we're here." There were definitely things he was missing out on purpose, it seemed that he wasn't going to be as easy to get information out of as she had thought but she let it slide for now.

"Are you sure you're going the right way? The map says that the math rooms were on the other side of the school" Blake chuckled, "you've been here for how many years? And you still get this wrong?" Dominic held back a glare and instead made a 'tch' noise with her mouth.

"I didn't ask you to follow me around you prick. You decided to do it on your own. Besides, this is the faster and less crowded way to get to class. If you don't believe me, fuck off." She responded which took Blake back a bit. She definitely wasn't the stereotypical target that one may want to challenge.

"And they call us the bullies." Blake sighed but kept following Dominic anyway until they made it outside their classroom surprisingly quickly which is when Blake realised that Dominic was right.

Interesting, he thought with amusement and turned wanting to say something but stopped himself when he saw Nick and the rest of his mates coming up behind them. Blake's loyalties laid with Nick first and he knew that. He knew Nick would hate seeing them standing together at all. So, instead of carrying on their conversation, he barged passed Dominic, nudging her shoulder and whispered, "See you later, D" which makes Dominic stop in confusion.

However, when Dominic hears the calls of the gang behind her, she let herself smirk once she realized what had happened. Unable to help herself from thinking,

So this is how it's going to be, is it? Huh, I'll accept it, Blake.
