Your Adolescent Street Fighters Ch.3
By Silvercane

Cammy and Chun Li walked leisurely down the halls together, during recess. The morning had begun terrible, thought Chun Li and she still didn’t see Fei Long. Well, at least she had made a friend. Chun Li had learned that Cammy was indeed born in England and wanted to work for the army some day. Also, she knew how to fight, which really impressed Chun Li. The scar on her jaw was a result of a street fight. She didn’t look like a street fighter to Chun Li because she was petite and delicate looking, although the scar toughened her look. Maybe they could spar sometime.

“Li! Hey Li!”

Both girls turned around to see Fei Long running towards them.

“Hey!” he greeted as he got to them and breathed heavily. He looked at Cammy who was studying his face.

“Do-do I know you?” Cammy asked him, confused. “It’s just that I know I have definitely seen you before. I just don’t know where.”

“Well, he has been in many martial arts films”, Chun Li answered for him.

“Of course!” said Cammy as she snapped her fingers. “You’re Fei Long! Blood Thirsty Dragon I, II, and III were fantastic! I mean, I can’t believe that I’m talking to you!” she blabbed.

“Hey, thanx”, said Fei Long casually and he flashed her his Hollywood smile.

“Yo Fei! You comin’?!” shouted a bunch of popular jocks. Fei Long had easily made friends in the morning. In fact, the jocks admired him- probably because he was cool, rich, famous, and could beat the crap out of them.

“Yeah, coming!” Fei Long yelled back and jogged backwards, towards them, still facing Chun Li. “Sorry, I gotta get to phys. ed. See ya at lunch!…Oh, and nice to meet ya!”, he called to Cammy and turned towards the guys and left.

Cammy quickly turned back to Chun Li.

“I can’t believe you didn’t tell me that you knew Fei Long!” she cried, still amazed.

Chun Li shrugged.

“To me, he’s just my sihing, he’s like my brother. He’s just a normal person, like you and me. Believe me, he is unbelievably far from perfect”, she replied casually. Of course, Cammy proceeded to ask a million questions as they made their way to their next class.

“Hey! Watch it!” Ken yelled at the guy who seemed to purposely bump into him. The guy was large and the sides of his head was shaven.

“What the #$*@ did you say…punk?” snarled the guy, staring into Ken’s eyes with a menacing expression on his face. Ken detected a British accent. Probably a foreign exchange student. He was very close to him and Ken could feel…and smell his breath.

“Are you deaf? Freak”, replied Ken calmly, staring back at him, burning his eyes into his.

The guy’s eyes widened. “I am going to make you eat those #$%*in’ words, you little shit! I’ll bend you in half, so that you’ll be staring at your own ass”

“Ha! I bet you couldn’t spell half of what you just said”, Ken replied coolly. He was never afraid of a bully. Besides, he felt like having a good physical fight.

“I know who you are, dips*it. You’re that Masters kid. Poor baby, daddy isn’t her to rescue your sorry ass from getting pulverized. Tell you what, give me 200 bucks a day and I’ll consider not wiping the floor with you”

Ryu was standing behind Ken the whole time. Now he knew he had to do something. He tugged on Ken’s sleeve.

“Ken, let’s go”

“Who’s this?” Blondie’s bodyguard?” mocked the big guy. “Hey! Do you want a piece of what he might get?” he said as he pointed to Ken.

This time, Ryu gave him a ‘don’t mess with me’ look. Then, out of nowhere, the principle walked towards them.

“Birdie”, said the principle. “You have had 4 warnings already! You keep this up and you’re going back”

The guy, Birdie, muttered, “I’ll be watching you two”, and walked away. As did the principle.

“The h*ll was that all about?” asked Ken after they left.

“I don’t know, but I have a feeling we just made an enemy on the first day of school”, said Ryu.

“Correction, you just made a few enemies”, said a different voice.

Ryu and Ken turned around to see a male student, with short brown hair appraoching them.

“Birdie hangs around with two other big lugs, Balrog and Sagat. You mess with one, you get two others. Hi! The name’s Guy”

“Hi!”, said both Ken and Ryu. “I’m Ken and this is Ryu”, Ken introduced.

“I just can’t believe my luck today”, said Ryu in a tiresome voice.

“Aw, it’s not that bad”, Ken said as he nudged his friend. “What about bumping into that hot girl earlier?”

“Hey, what hot girl?” asked Guy in an interested voice.

“Right over there”, said Ken and turned his gaze down the hallway.

Chun Li and Cammy were walking down the hallways. The blonde was still talking a mile a minute and Chun Li answered in short simple answers. Then, Chun Li looked up and saw three guys staring at her. She recognized two of them. Ken smiled. She looked to her sides and realized that he was smiling at her so she smiled awkwardly back at him, then turned to the other hallway with Cammy.

“ If you’re talking about the one standing next to the Spice Girl-looking one, then, yeah…that’s Chun Li”, said Guy in a dreamy voice. “She’s in my homeroom”, as he snapped back to reality”

“Yo, Ryu! Hellooooo!” called Ken.

Ryu was still staring down the hallway. He turned to face Ken.

“Ken, does she seem familiar to you?” he asked uncertainly.

“Nope. And believe me, I wouldn’t forget that face if I had seen it before…Why?”

“I don’t know…”

“RRRIINNNGGG!!”

“So, I’ll see ya at lunch?” called Guy. He was already a few paces in front.

“Yeah, see ya!” Ken and Ryu waved.

Guy jogged and Ken and Ryu ran…again.

“Man, I hate this!” said Ken, panting.
