Snippet #874514

Al sends another rounding kick to the punching bag, causing it to shudder violently on it's chains. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy now," a tall, obviously very athletic black man says, coming up to Al. "Didnt you hear the bell ring miss?" he asks with a grin. "Youre from Everwood right?" Al nods, her breath coming in short pants. "You have excellent form. You seem quite familar, or your fighting style to be more accurate. What's your name hun?"

"Al," she says as she starts unwinding the tape around her hands. "Al Bradley."

"Alexandra Bradley, the only female MMA fighter in the entire tri-state area. Am I right?"

She slings her back pack over her shoulder then leaves the locker room. She digs her schedule out of her backpack and rounds a corner not really looking at where she's going and nearly collides with two people standing there talking.
