lookin' for a fight

I am walking on the sidewalk behind three girls who are laughing and messing around with each other. A girl passes by them, moving in the opposite direction and one of the three girls tries to purposely bump into her. The girl is listening to her ipod so doesn't notice as she misses being elbowed.

These girls are looking for a fight... and I'm ready to give them one.

I walk a little faster so that I can pass in front of them. I walk to the left of them and that same girl hears me walking from behind and purposely sticks her elbow out trying to "accidentally" hit me and start something. I dodge her elbow and put my elbow out to do the same. I end up hitting her though. Her friends are stunned and they start saying something to me. I turn around and ask, "What? You want something?" The girl looks at me and gets in a fighting stance, I do too.

I put my mindset in boxing mode, remembering what I learned in my personal training sessions. I dodge her first punch and try to throw some jabs out but my hands are moving in slow motion. She, on the other hand, is moving quickly. I get really close to her so that her punches can't hit my face. I lean my chin down towards her and start punching her sides. But again, my hands are moving in slow motion and this isn't hurting her.

Somehow, we're now in front of a gas station and we apparently agreed to take a break and get some water [What? I didn't know street fights take water breaks]. This gas station doesn't allow you to go in with your bag packs so I leave mine outside. The girl and I are both inside this tiny gas station store and she starts slowly pushing me. I can't defend myself, my hands won't move. Finally, I am able to move my feet and I walk out. Her friends have taken my bag pack. I snatch it from their hands and get ready to walk away. This isn't going to end well for me.

As I'm walking away, the girl I was fighting comes out of the store and starts yelling something at me. I turn around...

And then... I wake up.
