All I ever wanted was to be a female fighter. It was in my blood to smack people around. Some girls wore pink dresses and makeup, I wore sneakers and bruises.

I was a loner, stuck to myself because I was different, until Camden Steel moved next door. I punched him in the mouth, and he saw me through rose-colored glasses from that day on.

I had everything I ever wanted. The boy next door, inspiring career . . . until I didn't.

He hates me. I deserve that.

Contains mature themes.
