Chapter 16 - Rematch

"Alright Ethan! You ready?!" After spending the rest of yesterday doing absolutely nothing. Ethan is back in the gymnasium fighting Hannah. This time, Lukas wasn't invited. This time, he's just gonna go ahead and eat all the food in the pantry. 

"Yep! Totally" Ethan seemed a lot more confident than before. 

Ethan vs. Hannah mock battle #2: begin!!

Hannah comes in with two right hooks, but Ethan dodges them. Now that he's trained all day today, he's ready for whatever she has for him. Ethan responded to her jabs, with a handstand kick straight to the face. Sending her flying back a bit. Hannah's face didn't falter at all though. Almost like it didn't hurt for her.

After Hannah landed, she was almost lighting the way she speed blitzed directly to Ethan's face. She cocked her hand back just slightly, which was just enough movement to predict what she was about to do next.

Ethan used his hands to block it directly, and then he unleashed another kick, this time to her stomach. Kind of like yesterday. Hannah moved back a little bit so his legs don't connect. And also so that she could back them and slam him to the ground. Ethan was shocked at what just went down, he couldn't believe it. 

"That wouldn't even have done the same damage as the one Lukas did. Nevertheless, I didn't want to risk it!" Hannah smirked at Ethan's expanse. Ticking him off just a tiny bit. 

"Oh don't get cocky now!" Ethan said. "I'm still standing, aren't I?" 

"Guess you are huh…" 

Hannah sucker punched Ethan in the chest, he felt that blow directly on his heart for some reason. Ethan didn't hesitate, he came at her with a kick to her shins, but she was still standing.

The both of them then started to trade blows left and right. Sometimes blocking them, other times not. Ethan was trying his best to keep up, but he could tell that Hannah was even breaking a sweat at all. So he decided to do something a little sleezy. He spat some of his chewing gum that he had in his mouth the whole time, directly into Hannah's mouth. Sarah watched in horror, hoping that didn't ruin her day. 

Hannah immediately swallowed Ethan's gum to his horror. Saying: "you really thought that shit was gonna stop me?!" before punching Ethan's left cheek so hard, that he recoils his way back to the ground. 

Luckily for him though. He managed to land directly onto his feet. And as soon as that happened, he ran back over to continue the fight. 

"You tired yet?!" Ethan's speech patterns were getting more erratic. Which shook Sarah. 

"Nah, I'm fine. You don't seem to good yourself though" she was effortlessly blocking everything that Ethan was pulling out of his as at this point. Sarah and Drew both knew that Ethan was not winning this. 

Hannah smiles, as she gets ready to pile-drive Ethan to the ground. She makes sure that Ethan couldn't see what she was doing by positioning her body so that she could hide anything behind her without being noticeable. 

Just as Ethan was slowing down the tiniest bit, she grabbed his stomach through his shirt, and shoved him into the floor, creating a loud sound that even Lukas could hear.

*CRASH!!

A tiny dust cloud formed around Ethan's body. As he swats away the dust around him, he sees that Hannah made a huge crack in the floor where he'd been laying. He didn't know how long it had been since he was knocked out. But all he cared about was the fact Lukas was looming over his body with a curious look on his face. 

"You okay man? That sounded like it'd hurt!" Lukas asked. 

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just got my butt handed to me though" Ethan said. 

He looked presumably at Drew and Sarah, telling off Hannah for doing that, before saying: "alright. Bye" and walking back to go eat all their food again.

Ethan got up with the help of Drew, noticing that his body felt eerily stiff at the moment. He watched Hannah get an earful from Sarah as he left to go to their infirmary. There, he realised what they had Mark for. 

"Oh damn! She really fucked you up!" Mark exclaimed, thinking that I cared about him in the slightest way. 

"I didn't know you were running the Infirmary! We don't even have our own back at #52!" Ethan was shocked. Not just at the fact that Mark was their doctor, but also at all the high tech shit that they had there. 

"How'd you get all of this?!" Ethan tried to reach out to touch something, but Drew wasn't moving a bit. 

"We stole it"

"Oh…" Ethan's excitement fades.

"Okay Ethan! You go rest up here I guess?" Drew places him on one of the six beds. And then just leaves without saying a word to Mark. As he should.

They both stay there not saying a word. Ethan was dying of awkwardness, but Mark was just trying away at who knows what. Ethan was twiddling his thumbs, trying to find something in which the both of them could talk about to pass the time. Then, all of a sudden, Ethan remembered something that really bothered him yesterday.

"Hey…" Ethan called out.

"Yeah?" Mark answered. 

"Why do you let Hannah walk all over you like that?"

"Because what else am I supposed to do?" They both go silent for a second, just before continuing. 

"Look. Hannah has a lot of stuff she needs to do on a daily basis. And I can help her as much as we can when she comes back. Then, I'll do it. Even if it does feel a little degrading…" Mark told him. "Plus, I don't mind letting her belittle her…" Mark's face gets all flushed. Causing Ethan to start laughing at him. Diservingly. 

"Wow! Didn't know you felt that way about her man!" Ethan was starting to get a little too close to this absolute worthless, piece of trash of a human being. 

"You should probably get some rest. I'll go grab both of us something to eat while you sleep" Mark looks at him with his goofy ass eyes. Making Ethan's stomach feel weird, and making a little blush come over his face.

Ethan covers his face with his hands, saying: "Okay got it I'll sleep now" and turning onto his side.

Oh god! Why do I feel like this?! He just told me about how he likes Hannah in that way! So why do I feel hot?! Ethan's internal turmoil continues as he drifts to sleep.
