You can have your sir, Mrs Florence said to Savannah and Savannah went to sit beside Carlotta, a 9th grader who is known for her sense for fashion and her love for romance poems.
Hi, she said to Carlotta with a smile but Carlotta looked away in disgust.
Keep looking at me like I'm thrash, I'm gonna beat the best and be the best among all of you soon and when I become the champion, you will learn not to look down on people, Savannah thought to herself.
Since we're all here, let's start. Mrs Florence said and Savannah sat upright. Poems are about the poets emotions...., Mrs Florence continued talking.
In the evening, Savannah went to Mr Enzo's house and there she met a tall, dark long haired stranger in the room, his chiseled features, piercing brown eyes, his broad shoulders and fit physique intensified his handsome appearance and he was sitting beside someone who looked like his wife and she looks graciously endowed with long blonde hair, nose sharply pointed exquisitely perfected with an hour glass shape combined with an extremely beautiful face.
Savannah was dumbstruck by the beautiful sight she was seeing when Mr Enzo who had seen her in his house whenever she came by to receive lectures from his wife before Savannah's ankle got okay called out her name.
Savannah!, Mr Enzo called out and she looked in his direction. Uh, Savannah exclaimed as she snapped out of her imagination.
Good day, sir, she said as she smiled sheepishly. Come over here, let me introduce you to them, Mr Enzo said as he signalled to Savannah to move closer and she hesitatedly walked over to them.
This is Ryan's older brother, Richard and this is Richard's wife, Elena, Mr Enzo said pointing at them one by one.
Well, I am Savannah Will, Ryan's best friend and Mrs Enzo's student. Nice to meet you, Savannah said with a brief smile.
Oh, are you the genius that disturbs my pregnant mom to teach you academically?, Richard asked teasingly as he raised an eyebrow slightly.
Well, yes and I must say she is a great tutor, Savannah said trying to mimick the British accent and everyone giggled. Then suddenly, Ryan barged in with a wide smile.
Big bro!, Ryan shouted from a short distance as he ran towards Richard's wide open arms. I miss you baby bro, he said as he gave Ryan a bear hug.
Where were you, Ryan?, Elena asked. Immediately I got to the hood, Neville called me that the hood's basketball coach is back, so I went there to meet him then Dad called me and told me you guys were back so I rushed down here but I will be going back to the basketball court soon, Ryan said and sat down opposite Richard and his wife in the kitchen.
What did you guys come here to do anyway?, Ryan asked.
We are here for a building project and the place is closer to this neighborhood so we just decided to stay here and leave in the next few months, Elena replied Ryan.
Stand up, Ryan, Richard commanded. For what?, Ryan asked.
Just stand up, Richard said as a cold smug appeared on his face.
Okay, Ryan said as he reluctantly stood up.
Follow me, Richard said as he walked to a more spacious place in the living room with a pillow in his hand and Ryan followed him as others watched them from the kitchen.
Think fast, Richard said and he immediately threw the pillow at Ryan. Ryan who still wandered why a pillow was thrown at him received a punch from Richard in his face. This punch made Ryan move backwards. Richard charged at him with another punch but Ryan dodged it and immediately gave him a jab in his stomach. Richard groaned a bit as he slightly moved backwards. Ryan held Richard and wanted to fling him backwards but Richard pushed him to the ground. Ryan stood up quickly and Richard clenched his fist as Ryan rushed towards him. Richard threw a punch and Ryan dodged it . Ryan threw a punch and Richard dodged it and they started exchanging punches. Ryan's fist and Richard's fist eventually met with terrible force and they felt the harsh pain so they shifted backwards. Ryan got rid of the pain and kicked Richard in the stomach and as Richard bent over holding his stomach, Ryan saw this as a chance.
He took a karate position and moved closer to Richard with a 360 degree flying kick but Richard saw this kick coming so Richard gave him a back kick which sent Ryan on the ground hard.
Ryan struggled to stand up since the kick was powerful but his family excluding Savannah was not surprised because the two loved practicing fighting skills together.
You're better than before, Richard said to Ryan. Well, I've been practicing, Ryan said still on the floor still on the floor.
Wow, that was amazing, Savannah who was surprised said as she clapped with a bright smile.
Richard stretched his hand and helped Ryan up and Ryan held his back. My back is sore, Ryan said trying to stretch his back.
Anyways, I'll be going back to the basketball court, see you when I'm back to the basketball court, see you when I'm back, Ryan said in a fagged out tone.
I'm going with you, Savannah said as she ran towards Ryan. Okay, let's go, Ryan said and they both left the house.
I can't believe Ryan has a girl as his best friend, Richard said and sat down.
I like that girl, she is nice and cheerful, Elena said with a faint smile.
Outside the house, Ryan and Savannah walked side by side.
Do you guys usually fight each other like that?, Savannah asked with a curious look on her face.
Yes, and that's because I and my family think it's fun. And guess what?, Ryan asked as he stopped in his tracks.
What?, Savannah asked as she thought in capital letters.
We are all fighters, like we are literally good in karate, boxing and taekwondo combined even Aunt Elena is good in these three martial arts. Do you wanna learn, should I teach you?, Ryan added.
Nah, I'll pass, Savannah said as she looked away.
Why are you going to the basketball court anyway?, Ryan asked as they continued walking.
It's been a long time since I saw Mr Benson popularly known as the neighborhood's coach and I want to see you guys practice because this time it won't be only you, Asher, Neville, Archie and Jamie , Savannah said.
Are you looking for a boyfriend?, Ryan asked playfully and Savannah hit Ryan on his head gently.
Of course not, stop having dirty thoughts, she said as she pouted her lips.
Ryan smiled and looked at Savannah curiously. How do you know the neighborhood's coach?, Ryan asked.
Well, years ago, I was playing around with a baseball bat in my hand with other kids and I mistakenly broke his car's window then he nicknamed me the neighborhood's trouble because he knew that wasn't my first time of causing people trouble, Savannah said.
I knew you looked troublesome the first day I met you, Ryan said and smiled while Savannah frowned at him as she stopped in her tracks again.
What?, you better keep up, shortie, he said and laughed while Savannah ran after him and hit him on his head.
I am not short, I'm average in height, Savannah said.
What's the difference?, Ryan asked, laughed out more and ran as Savannah ran after him.
