Desires of fire. by The " T.K.O Kidd " desio@adelphia.net A young girl's burning desire, and burning passion drives her after a wrestling... Desires of fire. Jessica was thrilled knowing she had made the boy's wrestling team at Clairmont High with it being somewhat of a struggle for her. Jessica never dreamed that she would come close to making the Varsity wrestling team, with all of the boys in her school that was on the wrestling team hounding her, and deriding her on her sexuality, saying that because she was a girl, and only being a freshman, never stood the chance of making the team. Clairmont High, was known for being a school that was highly respected for it's wrestling talent, and had drove itself to winning several state championships, and was determined to reach that goal of becoming State champions again in the upcoming year. Alot of the boys on the wrestling team had made known to Jessica after she had made the team, if she was to screw up that opportunity for them that she wouldn't soon forget it. So Jessica made it a priority to wrestle at her best if she was ever given the chance to wrestle as a starter on the team, and made it an extra effort to put forth her best. Well the year for Jessica went on, and she was beginning to lose hope of starting in a school wrestling meet, as she found difficulty defeating boys in her weight class that kept her from even coming close in the wrestling coaches mind to consider allowing her to start in a school wrestling meet. Just as Jessica was considering to give up her aspirations as a girl wrestler on a boys team after she was beaten by a boy who just weighed in at her weight class with him being several pounds heavier than herself made her consider the idea of just excluding herself from the team. But the starter in her weight class was injured while taking to the foolish backyard extreme wrestling that the TV media was newscasting, and warning teenage boys against. That left Jessica, and the boy that defeated her recently compete in a wrestling practice to see who would become the starter for Clairmont High. But before the match between Jessica, and Chad the boy that had defeated her easily recently, was too take place for the wrestling coach in which was the match that he was going to decide, and make his decision on who was to be Clairmont's next starter had already gotten underway after a wrestling class practice, before the bout that was suppose to be the decider for coach Clifton on deciding who is new starter was going to be. It was Chad who kept Jessica at bay after practice had left out, with Chad standing boldly in her face, and blocking Jessica's way to the girl's lockerroom. Chad stood valiantly before Jessica, and warned her sternly not to step in his path, nor do anything to ruin his chances at the starting team, and even suggested to Jessica that she should throw the match taking a fall, and giving him the starting spot on Clairmont's wrestling team. Jessica though found a new fire rising up within' her now as she felt near to acheiving her goal, and told Chad that nothing was happening, and to expect her best on the mat when going up against her, and that obtaining the starting spot wouldn't be in easy reach for him, and not in the least by her taking a blatant fall handing that position over to him without him earning it. As Chad, and Jessica stood on the edge of the padded wrestling mat that was center of the gym, Jessica then said to him, " Now if you'll excuse me Chad, I have to go, and shower.. " Chad though pressed Jessica back inwards to the center of the wrestling mat, not allowing her to get past him, and giving her another stern warning just to give up the idea. But it was when Jessica tried to bully her way past Chad that she found herself being taken down in an armdrag, with Chad locking her in an armbar with Chad now having her arm cinched, and locked in tight while the side of her face was pressed hard into the unforgiving mat. Chad held Jessica locked in, and twisted painfully on Jessica's arm, and telling her again in not so pleasent of a tone saying to her, " So you will concede to me in the Coaches decision of who is going to become the starter, right, RIGHT !?! " Jessica tried to fight off the pain that was twisting through her shoulder, and arm, and struggled against the tears, but couldn't refrain from breaking down crying in tears, and losing hope once again of acheiving her goal, then as Jessica could nolonger take the wrenching pain that was shooting through her arm she cried out to Chad conceding to him, " Yessssss.. yesss... I'll throw the match, just please stop, your hurting meee... iiiAaahhggHHH... ! " Then Chad suddenly released Jessica from the painful armbar, but as he seated himself in a sitting position satisfied at Jessica's surrender, suddenly sat shocked as he looked up to Coach Clifton, and seeing his coach kneeling over a weeping Jessica, and giving her a helping hand bringing her to her feet, and saying to her, " No Jessica, you will wrestle against Chad here, who seems to be trying to bully his way on the team, and you will make him earn the starting position in a fair mannor. Now girl go take your shower, and I'll take care of Chad's nasty disposition here. " Jessica did as she was told by Coach Clifton Walters, and dismissed herself to the girl's lockerroom leaving Chad to Mr Walters. Mr Clifton Walters corrected Chad presently in his attitude, and told him that it was going to be a fair bout between him, and Jessica that was to take place in a weeks time, but also warned him if he cheated in that match to gain the victory over her, that she would be the starting wrestler without no chance of Chad redeeming himself. Jessica then pressed herself hard in her workout at the local gym, and took her aerobics classes with more seriousness along with a course of steady jogging throughout the week. Jessica knew she wasn't invincible, and that was proven on the mat against boys during wrestling practice in which she had won one against a boy that was far from becoming a starter, but was in fact cut from the team, and all for the reason that Mr Walters attitude wasn't on par at the time, with him cutting every boy from the team if Jessica defeated them, but unfortunately it happened only to that one boy, while the others that Jessica wrestled easily defeated her, and even with Chad beating her in a well struggled for fair wrestling match. But with Mr Cliftons inspirational chat with Jessica a couple of days later after Chad tried to convince her diffently, and with Mr Walters now having a new mind towards Jessica, she had regained her second wind, and found a new burning desire growing within' her soul, and determined within' herself that she was going to see her final destination through, and find herself proud as a Clairmont wrestling starter. Jessica put everything she had into her physical agenda within' the gym, on the city streets while jogging, and threw herself into her aerobics classes with a newfound passion. Jessica never burned with so much fire now, as it was now coursing through her inner self like an unquenching fire, but Jessica did not ever believe for one moment that winning against Chad was going to be an easy task, but still held the notion that there was, or will be the very present possibility of Chad beating her. Well Jessica agreeing with Mr Walters was at least going to make him earn the starting position if he was to gain it. The time was drawing near, and that day that Jessica was to go up against Chad was close, and at hand with Jessica's heart racing in anticipation, and thrilled with some excitement with being so close to becoming a starter on Clairmont High's wrestling team. Jessica was more proud by the idea that with this being her first year at Clairmont, and with her just being a freshman at Clairmont that she was on the verge of becoming the first girl on the team, and would be the first girl in Clairmont's wrestling history to become a first starting member of its wrestling team. No girl in her school had ever made the wrestling team, in fact it wasn't known within' the immediate surrounding school districts that a girl ever made a boys wrestling team, let alone starting on one. Jessica had alot to be proud of, and as she stood before the full length mirror that hung on her bedroom door the night before her main event of taking Chad on the next day she looked her fine young, and solid trimmed physique admiring herself some. Jessica's abdomen had a positive qaulity of solidness about it, not being ripped but definately was showing a positive qaulity of firmness, and strength. Jessica's well but somewhat small breasts also had a full figure proudly pushing out themselfs from beneath her bra, and her arms flaired from the sides of her body, with pride, and held to themselfs a high qaulity of hard muscle, yet without being ripped or hard in definition. Jessica's legs, and thighs were another favorable assett that she possessed being as firm, and solid if not more so then the rest of her physique, and her iminent glow was shining bright from the reflection of the mirror as she radiated nothing but shear confindence, beauty, and strength for such a young girl early in her teens. Jessica was ready for tomorrows action, and was tired but with her growing anticipation of tomorrows event was restless, and was now hoping that she would be able to fall off too sleep, realizing she needed her rest if she was to have any endurance for tomorrow. Jessica though fell to sleep quickly but awoke in the morning rather disturbed being troubled by a dream, in which she found herself losing to Chad before the wrestling coach, and losing sight of her goal. Jessica though realized it was nothing but a dream in the line of a nightmare, and regained the composure of her mind rather slowly, and managed to build up confindence within' herself as she readied herself to head off to school that Friday morning. Jessica finished brushing her deep brunette hair that had a tint of a red cast in it, making it appear as a crimnson brown, and then duffed it off pulling it back, and taking it into a ponytail that would bounce softy behind her head as she walked proudly once again out of her bedroom door. Jessica then went to the kitchen to eat her toast, eggs, and sausage, that her mother had prepared for before leaving off to work. With Jessica now finishing up her morning meal, she rose from the kitchen table, and went to the living room to pull her highschool colours from the coat rack. Jessica donned her highschool jacket with pride, and knew it was somewhat of a long dream to see it someday honored with a school letter that was achieved from wrestling on Clairmont's wrestling team, but held to that hope that one fine day, that achievement could would possible for her if she didn't allow her hopes to slip away from her. Jessica arrived at Clairmont high with her head high with confindence as she entered the school's front entrance, and as she did several of her girlfriends who heard of the news of her having this opportunity of becoming Clairmont's first girl wrestling starter gave their approval to her, and boosted her confindence with fortifing her hopes with saying things to her such as, " You go girl ! " Go girlfriend, and show that arrogant Chad who's boss! " " Take it to him girlfriend, we're behind you 100%! " Jessica thanked her friends as she greeted them, and showed her gratitude towards them with them being behind her, and holding faith in her, but Jessica didn't allow the reality slip away from her that she could be defeated, as she hadn't beat Chad yet in a match when she had gone up against him, and knew that there was still yet another possibility that she could lose to him once more, but yet was determined if she did, that Chad Morris was going to feel every bit of his win, making him realize that it was a girl that he had trouble defeating. Jessica sat through her classes before her gym wrestling practice that was too take place after school, and caught glances of encouragement from some girls with to her surprise even had gotten a few from some boys. Jessica's heart raced with a fresh excitement as the final bell was to be sounded releasing her from her final period with her unsteadily fumbling with her school books in anticipation of the uncoming bout with Chad, and then... After school had left out, and with the event drawing near of Jessica's main event, and wrestling opportunity, several of Jessica's girlfriends, along with their boyfriends made a suggestion to each other asking themselfs if they could be an audience to the wrestling match that was too take place between Jessica, and Chad, and had inquired with the coach if they were allowed to be present during the event, in which these youthful students considered to be part of school history that was in the makings. Wrestling Coach Clifton Walters approved of them being an audience seeing that these young adults may never again get the opportunity to witness the first girl with such a strong chance to make the team ever again, and on one condition, and that was if they were to promise to hold to their seats, and not to get overly loud or excited while the match took place, in which the girls, and their boyfriends agreed readily, not wanting to miss this one. The youths gathered in the gym, and you would of believed it was a school's wrestling tournament with one side of the gym's bleachers being nearly filled. Coach Clifton Walters had allowed a large group of youth to witness the event, hoping that if Jessica was to defeat Chad that it was going to be witnessed by an approving audience, and by some who were not so favorable towards one Jessica Steele, with these who were opposed to Jessica being members from the wrestling team, and other boys who thought they were more superiour to the younger female gender. The crowd of young adults grew with anticipation, and excitement as they chattered like chipmunks among themselfs in the bleachers, and with Coach Walters cancelling wrestling practice due to this shot of Jessica's becoming a wrestling starter on the team, realizing that yes indeed wrestling history in some form was being made here today at Clairmont High allowed the young audience to be present. Coach Walters deemed himself as the referee, and then motioned to the youths seated to settle themselfs with their constant excitement, and chatter, while he announced the first contestant being Chad Morris. Coach Clifton Walters looked about him in some surprise as a mixture of different feelings went up from the young adults, with some booing, and some applause of approval as Chad made his way to the center of the gym's mat. Chad was attired in his school wrestling stinglet, going against the wishes of Coach Walters, but Clifton Walters dismissed Chad's arrogance, and in a dissaproving glance towards Chad allowed him to particapate in the wrestling match dressed as he was. Then to Coach Clifton Walter's greater surprise he looked about himself as a roar of approval, and applause rose from the bleacher seats cheering in a loud admonishment towards Jessica Steele as she was announced, and now entering the center ring attired in a once peice bathing suit that was of one solid colour, and that was a deep navy blue. Jessica's heart raced within' her once again as she took her place standing near outer edge of the square circle, and her previous fear of being defeated by Chad earlier in her dream this morning was now settling in once again, and with her having some trouble now shaking it off. Chad though on the other hand stood in his position with an arrogant confindence holding his head high in pride letting his obvious arrogance show without any doubt too the participating audience. Clifton Walters then looked about him then to Jessica, then to Chad hoping that he hadn't made a mistake by allowing this match to take place here in front of a swarm of young adults that packed the bleacher seats. It was to late to dismiss any of the students from evacuating the gym, as it seemed that the one side was being filled with students who were still flocking in by some scores now with children only having standing room. Coach Walters thought to himself that the entire school must be present now, along with several of the school faculty members even being present, and what surprised him more was that he noticed Mrs Jenson a seventh period Biological Science teacher who was well in her late sixties, and had always protested against the combat sport of wrestling now applauding Jessica with some hope of winning while standing among a group of Jessica's friends being a mixture of boys, and girls. Coach Walters knew now if he was to call this off that he would be hung out on a post to dry, and would lose his position as a Coach at Clairmont, and didn't want to go up against this galley of people present to dissapoint them in any way, but in fact wanted to see this bout take place himself. The somewhat loud chattering crowd came to a silence with Coach Walters drawing the two contestants inward towards the center of the mat, with the onlookers realizing that it was about to take place soon between Jessica Steele, and Chad Morris. Coach Walters then looked to Jessica asking her if she understood highschool wrestling rules well, in which Jessica nodded her head in an affirmative, then Coach Walters looked to Chad, and asking him the same, and reminding him to take heed that there was to be no cheating of any kind whatsoever! Chad nodded in approval, and assured Coach Walters with confindence that he was going to defeat Jessica in a fair match. Well in Clifton Walters mind that was yet to be seen. Coach Clifton Walters then intstructed the two intergender wrestlers to take their respected marks upon the inner circle of the wrestling mat, with the crowd falling into a deeper silence while anticipating the start of the match. Mr Coach Clifton Walters then placed himself to the outside edge of the inner circle between Jessica, and Chad, and slowly raised his opened hand up while having the starting whistle pursed between his lips. Then as the two combatants position themselfs in their wrestling poised crouch ready for action, with one just being a freshman girl, and the other being a boy in his sophmore year Coach Walters dropped his hand in sequence to blowing the whistle with his hand closing into a fist as it dropped to his side sounding the start of the match. Chad was the first to spring from his feet, and then dropping quickly to take Jessica unaware by her lower legs, and taking them from beneath her. Coach Walters then nodded in approval thinking to himself, " Hmmm.. looks legal, maybe the boy will keep his word at playing fair in this one. " Jessica tried to roll free from Chad upon the mat, as Chad was now making an attempt to pull her over taking an arm of his, and quickly taking it up beneath her arm, and struggling somewhat in the attempt to take Jessica into a half nelson. Chad succeeded in his application, but was finding it difficult to wrap Jessica's legs into his left arm to take her completely over, and face her doward face first into the mat. Jessica's abs were strong along with her upperbody strength, and her legs with her thighs being even stronger than most girls her age, and any non atheltic boy. That was the advantage that kept Jessica free from being in a grapple that should of done the job by Chad, but as Jessica tightened her stomach muscles, and pushing hard against the mat with her legs she began to elevate Chad with him upon her back. The crowds silence then broke into a small cheer then roared in applause with Chad's halfnelson being broken, and seeing Chad thrown over the shoulder of Jessica in one fast quick powerful motion with him landing solidly upon his back. Confidence surged through Jessica as a new fire of desire welled up within' her, and her hopes of becoming a Clairmont Highschool wrestling starter brightened with a new burning flame, but Chad was wanting to distinguish those hopes welling up within' Jessica quick as he recovered well rolling nearly to the edge of the mat's outer boundery. Chad was now on his hands, and knees moving in towards Jessica, and meeting her while rising from his feet. The two young grapplers tied each other up around the upper body, with Chad placing an arm beneath Jessica's, and wrapping her about her shoulder with his other arm having her somewhat in a side headlock. Jessica, and Chad struggled momentarily against each other but Jessica's strength failed her as Chad took her to the mat struggling, but in the process gained three points as he held her in a near pinning situation. At this time Chad had the point of advantage over Jessica with the first takedown then a second with now gaining three quick points in a near pin, with Jessica only scoring an escape. Mr Coach Clifton Walters was impressed at Chad with him keeping his word at playing fair, and was somewhat favoring the boy for his honesty, hoping that he would only continue to keep his word of not cheating to win. Jessica on the other hand panted hard beneath Chad with him strongly holding her to the mat, and as soon as she slipped free of being pinned Chad had once again brought her in a pinning situation. The fall was so close that Jessica saw from the corner of her eye that Coach Walters was about to slap his palm to the mat in granting the win to Chad, and dismissing her as the loser, and making a claim to Chad becoming the starter of the wrestling team. Just as Jessica felt her remaining shoulder blade that wasn't making contact with the mat about to make its final touchdown, Jessica thrusted her upperbody strength in forceful action upward, and just as Coach Walters was in the process of slapping the gym's mat, and maybe centimeters from it declaring Chad's victory brought it back up swiftly when seeing Jessica break through Chad's pinning efforts, and rolling free from beneath him. There were sighs of relief from the audience, and some cries of dissaproval as boys from the wrestling team then began to encourage Chad hoping he would regain his once lived advantage over the girl once again. Jessica's heart felt heavy as she realized she was just a split second if no sooner from a loss, but in a recovering effort to regain her confindence in herself, she moved on Chad with grace, and speed taking him by his ankle as he laid upon the mat facing down, and in the process took him into a halfnelson, and with some added effort easily rolled him up, and over onto his back, while having her arm grasping his leg beneath the bend at the knee, and elevated from the mat while she had him nearly doubled up, and pinned with the both of his shoulder blades nearly making contact with the mat. The audience roared in a loud cheer at Jessica's effort, and grew with fervor, as they saw Coach Walter's raised his hand in the favor of Jessica with him pursing the whistle between his lips, and as he was once again was about to lower his hand in giving Jessica the victory. Jessica though was thrown from off of Chad with a healthy heave, and that effort took wind from Chad as he somewhat was slower now in movement was now quickly preparing himself for an offensive attack on Jessica. Chad panted some as he found a raging Jessica who recovered well from the escape of Chad's, and was slow in countering Jessica's next move with Jessica driving herself from her knees into Chad's waist taking him about it, and wrapping him in a hug, and taking him hard, and around pulling him to the mat with his back landing hard against it. The impact of Chad hitting the mat on his back, and with the weight of Jessica's strong upper body driving into his waist with an increased force, took nearly everything he had out of him. Chad's mind spun with surprise as he was now struggling to stay alive in the wrestling match, with Jessica now positioning him into holds at her will. Chad knew if he didn't regain advantage soon over her that she was going to beat him, and from her sudden turning the tables on him, and with her manhandling him now within' the rules of highschool wrestling he knew she would soon defeat him. Chad struggled desperately within' the pain that was wrenching throughout his neck, as Jessica had it in an awkward bend at the neck, while having his head locked between her arm, and the side of her body from the front position. Jessica also had Chad's left arm locked into hers disabling any movement of it locking it in, and cinching it tight. Just as Jessica was about to wrap Chad up in a submission style move of scissoring him, she quickly dismissed the idea realizing that hold was illeagle in the books of highschool wrestling. Chad though in desperation of escaping punched Jessica into the side of her ribcage with a short fisted blow of his free arm, with it going unoticed from Coach Walters sight, but it didn't go unoticed from a group of girls, that was standing with Mrs Jenson the elderly science teacher who yelled her dissaproval of Chad cheating. It was a second short fisted punch that broke Chad free, and who came rushing to the center of the gym mat ? Well none other than Mrs Jenson, who sprung onto the mat with the flight of a youth. Coach Walters then blew his whistle sounding a short delay in the wrestling match, with Jessica, and Chad recovering themselfs as the two of them took short advantage of their wrestling freedom while Coach Walters escourted Mrs Jenson from off of the mat. Jessica, and Chad though never considered Mrs Jenson's reasoning for interrupting the bout, but was somewhat suspcious with Jessica being more so of her reasoning when she noticed Mrs Jenson, and Coach Clifton Walters giving her an attentive ear as she spoke quietly into his listening ear. The crowd of youth grew somewhat quiet during this time with the Coach now inquiring with a boy, and a couple of girls that was standing with Mrs Jenson as if asking them for some validity to Mrs Jenson's claims, in which they seemed to be verifing her statements to Coach Walters. Mrs Jenson, and the youth allowed Coach Walters to return to the mat with Coach Clifton speaking softly under his breath while walking past Chad saying to him in a definate warning, " You do that little trick again boy, and not only do you lose your chance at becoming a starter, but you will be clearly, and without question dropped from this team, do you hear me boy !!! " Chad dropped his head in shame, and in agreement to his Coach that was laying a warning on him that he knew he had better soon take heed too. Jessica only smiled now as she watched Coach Walters took a slow short circle pacing somewhat like a marching officer about him, and away from him, and then calling the two combatant grapplers to the inner ring to take their new wrestling position opposed to the standing takeoff. Chad waited for Coach Walters to instruct Jessica to the kneeling position even though he knew he wasn't deserving of having the advantage position with him kneeling beside her, and over her having the upperground advantage. Chad then lowered his head in dissapointment as he was the one instructed by Coach Walters to take the lower seat of kneeling down on his hands, and knees while giving Jessica her deserved spot over him. Jessica then placed a hand on Chad's elbow with taking him about his waist, and placing her hand beneath his stomach, and giggling softly she said too Chad while whispering in his ear, " Kind of soft aren't we, gee now if I was such a unkind girl as to resort to the tactics of cheating ? Well lets say you would be hurting if I punched you in the stomach.. tee.. hee.. hee... " Jessica spoke her peace softly to Chad in sweetness, and raised her head to meet Coach Walters signal to restarting the bout, and with a desire of fire burning deep into her eyes of confindence she felt that now she was on the verge of taking her place on the Clairmont's boys wrestling team. Jessica's face beamed with a new radiance of confindence, and she was set ready for action as Coach Walters sounded his whistle, and dropped his opened hand once again bringing it into a closed fist signalling the uptake of a wrestling match that was shortly delayed. Chad now felt weak, and helpless beneath the strength of Jessica as she bulled him to the mat with him being caught in yet another strapping grappling hold, with Jessica once again catching his head between her arm, and her side, but this time with his back nearly in a pin, and his leg caught at the bend, with Jessica's arm holding it captive, and leaning back now with Chad's one leg captive by her arm, and a good portion of his lowerbody elevated from the gym's mat. A tear began welling up in the corner of an eye of his, and he knew he was about to be defeated, and lose any chance at starting on the team, and desperately pondered quickly on a retaliation that might save him from the uncoming embarrassment, and a loss that was showing its very evidence to a cheering crowd who seemed to be in an unwavering side with Jessica, as that was all he could her from the chanting crowd,, " Jessica.. Jessicaa... Jessicaaa... " The crowd chanted in a horrifing tone that stung Chad's ears, and as a tear rolled free from Chad's eye he managed to give Jessica a sharp elbow to her jaw snapping her head some to one side, but with herself still holding Chad firmly locked into the near pin. Coach Mr Clifton Walters spotted the infraction this time with Mrs Jenson nodding her head in agreement towards him, but as he was about to blow the whistle in a disqaulification to end the match, and declaring Jessica the dominate winner, Jessica cried out quickly too him saying, " NO COACH,, I don't want the win this way I want to beat him in a pin that is fairly applied by me !!! Not winning like this will satisfy!! " Coach Walters then said, " You sure girl, you would be the next starter, be sure now... " Jessica then smiled with confindence towards her Coach, while still having Chad locked in tight to her hold, and with him struggling weakly against her, somewhat in a state of crying against the painful twisted postion in which she held him captive in, with Jessica the saying in return to her Coach answering him with confindence, " Yes, I'm very sure! " The crowd roared loudly in agreement with Mrs Jenson nearly coming from off of her feet while throwing a high fist into the air above her, and shouting out to Jessica as loud as her age would allow her, " You go girl, now take it too him !!! " Jessica in her will, and desire to win may of made a mistake in her next decision against Chad, even though within' the next moment when she could of gained a pin over Chad, and a victory, she allowed him to escape her hold that she had him in, making it appear as if he had broken free on his own accord. Jessica then did a tumbling roll back away from Chad, with springing to her feet poised, and ready crouching in a wrestling stance with her arms streched out some, and grappling hands ready for more action. Chad rose to his feet but somewhat in a slower mannor opposed to Jessica's recovery, with Jessica saying to him, " Now Chad I'm giving you a chance to beat me fairly, and an opportunity to become Clairmont's starting wrestler, not as you presented me with... " Coach Walters along with the cheering crowd that was now subsiding some in their roar of loud cheering lowered their high tone of voices. Coach Walters was now in awe at Jessica's good sporting nature, and found a higher regard for the young freshman girl, and her integrity. A girl with some compassion on the wrestling mat that showed a brillance of good sportmanship, and a girl that could reach her goals if she would now only hold on to them. Yes Coach Clifton Walters saw promise in Jessica, and was hoping with him realizing that she had given Chad a fair opporunity at defeating her now, and seeing Jessica in a new light of being a young girl of honesty, and integrity. With Jessica taking patience in her approach to Chad Morris he tried in one last desperate attempt to steal the win from a girl that obtained a shiming confindence in her that beamed brilliantly from her persona. Chad within' his next move rushed Jessica in his own fire of passion, taking her solidly to the mat, but Jessica quickly recovered, and countered his attack by quickly rolling free from him, and in a lightning flash gained the advantage rolling him up into a cradle like pin. The crowd cheered victorious as Coach Clifton Walters brought his opened palm downward slapping his hand against the mat without no doubt in his mind that Jessica had rightfully deserved her right to become Clairmont's first girl to start on a boys team within' Clairmont, and in the surrounding school district. Coach Walters declared Jessica the victor of the match raising her arm proudly before the unlooking crowd of students, and Jessica's face shown brightly with a brillance of pride that wasn't soon to be taken away from her with the audience sending up an applaud, while giving her a standing ovation in the process. Jessica thought to herself after she was congratulated by a large group of students, along with Mrs Jenson saying to her in confindence, " Good job young lady, I never doubted you in there for a second, good job!! " As Jessica thought to herself, she had dismissed herself from her crowd of approving friends of some remorse she now held towards a long distanced cousin by the name of Darla, and reasoned within' herself that Chad could be awefully grateful that he hadn't gone up against her, because if he did so he may not be walking away from it, as he was now making his own way to the boys lockerroom. Jessica though encountered Chad once more, before finally making her presence unknown to him by dismissing herself to the girl's lockerrom, and congratulated him on a well fought wrestling match giving him some credit on his skill. Chad in turn apologized to Jessica letting her know that he was sorry for his behaviour on the mat today, and the two embraced in a loving gesture of now becoming good friends, in which was to remain for the years to come between them. Well Chad accepted his defeat against Jessica, and continued to wrestle on Clairmont's varsity wresting squad, with relieving Jessica of her starting positions on the mat when she was incapable of making it to those matches, with having good reasons behind her failure to appear. But it wasn't often that Chad started against a school in a wrestling meet, as Jessica scarcely missed a meet, but out of the next two years Chad did manage to start in three matches, and won all three handily against opponents of his own gender with one sealing their way into a State tournament, which was the last match before that tournament took place that he was ever to star in again, with Jessica being present after that time to make her starting appearence on every call. The end. This story is dedicated too all those who love the heat of mixed competitive wrestling, and the grapplers, possessing " Desires of fire, " and burning with the will to win, and striving onward to be their very best!
