"Impossible! I'm the women's champ at our school," Maya shot back, suddenly all fired up.
"Alright, let's see what you got," I shrugged.

"Is that all you got? Want me to go easy on you?" Maya teased, her eyes sparkling with amusement.
"This is getting boring. How about we make it interesting with a bet?" I suggested, trying to spice things up.
