I liked this story very much. You seem to have gotten the hang of jumping on the "present-tense bandwagon", which seems to be a very popular mode of story-telling in the past few years. Not that it's a bad thing, mind you, because it takes some level of writing skill to pull it off, and I think that you did a fantastic job at it! I liked the character of Colton, because he's not your typical "I'm the good guy fighting the bad guy" type of story- he's as low as the guy he's fighting, which is rather refreshing to read on this site. Overall, a job well done!

Colton Paris cheated. Wasn't exactly a fair fight which made the tale more interesting. There should be a sequal of sorts to where people come after Colton for cheating... that's just me talking I dont know...
