Fiction: A young man risks his life fighting for his father's name
Once upon a time, a long time ago. There was a family called the Huertal’s the mother and father met at a store and from that time they fell deeply in love having a boy named Anjel Huerta— around Anjel’s early teenage years his father was a pro ufc fighter and got into a match with a huge man who ended his life in the ring on accident, but shocked the world and his the father's fans, the man who ended his life had given the Huerta family his forgiveness with money, but they didn't want to accept his apology, taking his money and moved far far away.
Two years later Anjel is now 16 years old and his mom is alone with no man and is struggling with no one else to help her. It is now July 13th in 2012 and Anjel applied for a school nearby called the Saint Paul’s in New Hampshire, he later on in the month got accepted and started his first day the next month on the 28th of august of his 10th grade year.
The alarm starts going off at seven o'clock, but Anjel is sleeping through it. “Boom–boom–boom, Wake up Anjel you're gonna be late for school!” yelled Anjel’s mother.
Anjel then says in his mind, “Bro can she just leave me alone,” he then gets up and get ready for his first day of school. Walking into his first class he meets a kid name Greg.
“Hey what's your name,” says Greg curiously.
“My Anjelito but you can call me Anjel for short.” —-
“So where are you from ?” Anjel then sighs because he doesn't like talking about his past. “Look I really don't like talking about my past but have a good day.” Anjel tries to walk off but Greg didn't let just walk away
“Thats ok sorry we started on the wrong foot m-maybe we can just talk about something else.” Greg says with a gentle tone.
Anjel then says, “Maybe another time,” as he walks away he freezes after what Greg says after.
“Look I heard about you father alright, I'm sorry about your loss.”
Anjel with a slightly despaired stair the other side away from Greg. He then turns around and asks Gregor, “What do you want exactly?” Gregor then says, “Look I just wanted to be friends because you're new here and you need a veteran at this school to show you around.” They start to walk around the school while Greg is showing Anjel around. As they are walking around Anjel sees a UFC class and stops.
“Hey Gregor, what do you know about this class?”
"Look man, I wouldn't go in there if I was you, those kids can fight, I tend to keep my distance from there.” Gregor says.
“Who said I didn’t know anything about fighting?” Anjel then opens the door, while Gregor is hesitant on going in.
“Wait no— ugh whatever.” Gregor walks in with Anjel as everyone starts to stare. The coach starts to walk towards them, “Greedings my name is Justin but you can call me coach Justin, how may I help you.”
I want to spar with your best student.” Anjel says not even close to being hesitant.
“Look, do you really want to do that to yourself?” said coach Justin curiously, Anjel doesn't say a word looking around for his best match. Gregor is beside rethinking what Anjel is going to do to himself, but Anjel suddenly looks at someone and starts to walk towards him, he asks the kid with a youth feather champion. His name is Jadiel and his professional fighting record is 8-0, and he says confusingly,
“Yes— I am.” Anjel then grabs the nearest pair of gloves that he seen with a head gear and says.
“Spar me,” says Anjel with an intense look on his face. Jadiel doesn't say anything but yes and they start to get ready for their match. The match starts, while the coach is reffing watching every move closely. Jadiel attacks first and fast, Anjel counters with a left overhand. Jadiel backs and slowly starts to notice he’s already bleeding.
“Thats all you got?” Jadiel questions Anjel’s potential.
“Nah I’m just getting started,” with a grim expression on his face.
They both started colliding with great power and techniques. The coach is very impressed with Anjel’s performance. Anjel then bursts with this spinning elbow move that knocks Jadiel straight out. Coach Justin after the fight immediately wants Anjel too fight for him,
“Who taught you all these moves?” Says Justin. Anjel hesitates but then says,
“It was my father. He used to be a UFC pro fighter but passed away in his last fight.”
“Im sorry to hear that kid,” Justin says.
“Look kid, I want you on my team, you will be our number one fighter,” Justin was not even hesitant to tell Anjel.
“Look I don't know if I want to, it brings too many memories of my father, it’s hard you know.”
“Look I know it’s probably hard, but don’t you want to continue your father’s legacy, you can become such a great fighter I already see so much potential.” Anjel never thought of it like that, he was then hesitant and eventually took the offer.
A whole year passes it’s now 2013
Anjel is now the best fighter in the whole school with his best friend beside him, and his coach Justin training hard because he has a fight against another big name. Anjel has so many fans on his side cheering him on. The fight is one week away from happening with his opponent named Josiah. They have created a lot of arguments and have been competing with the same trophies and decided they needed to determine who's better out of the two.
While Coach Justin and Anjel are training the day before the fight
“Are you ready kid? This is your chance to prove yourself and go get it,"says Justin. Anjel takes deep breaths and says,
“Im ready he needs to get taught a lesson,” repeating that to himself repeatedly till fight night.
The final Match
‘The match is about to start and Anjel is repeating to himself that he has to keep going for his father. There is a huge crowd in the back yelling and cheering for the fighters. The match starts when Josiah comes in directly for his body. Anjel blocks every hit and tries to counter but Josiah dodges, the fight gets intense and goes to the last round. Anjel throws a left hook to Josiah's head, he goes down and Anjel tries to put him in a submission, but he can't get to his neck. Josiah then wrapped around and elbows him on the head, the ref doesn't see that Anjel falls unconscious and Josiah squeezes Anjel’s neck hard.
“LET HIM GOOO,” Justin says frightened. He starts to run to the octagon and the fans are just quit and shocked. Josiah then lets go and Justin checks his pulse.
HE’S NOT BREATHING SEND HELP!”
Later on at the doctor's
