[Friday, lesson 3 – PE]
One of the deadliest but also most fun times was when we all got to play dodgeball, who didn’t like to pelt balls at fast speeds directly at people they hated. The ‘Elite’ kids, you know the ones that are super sporty, all seem to have the special ability to throw the balls at speeds of around Mach 1, thankfully for me, I’ve come up with a master strategy, it was a simple strategy able to win matches, even wars, allow me to explain. First, hide at the back behind everyone; second, don’t get hit. Easy as that!
Now I know what you are all thinking, this short little chapter is probably going to be full of ball jokes. Don’t worry, there won’t be that many, I hope…
We were in the middle of an intense match, everyone was successfully dodging balls left and right, with some people taunting and doing flips over them like out of movies. No one was getting hit, everyone was moving around as if their lives depended on it, dancing around trying to be aware of their surroundings, however, there was one person who wasn’t moving that much.
“Hey… Owen….” Ethan had managed to wiggle around the court and make it to me, we are on the same team; he isn’t cheating.
“Don’t really have the time to talk right now, kinda in a war zone.”
I was hopping back and forth, bouncing up and down doing everything I could to stay alive.
“Was it awkward earlier?”
“HUH!? What are you talking about? I don’t have time to cypher whatever depression you’ve got today.”
“In drama… with Kaylee”
I would be lying if I said it wasn’t awkward
“Not really… I don’t think it was awkward at all… if anything this your opportunity, you are the lead in the play show her what you can do… AH-”
Out of nowhere came a flaming hot ball, aimed directly for my face barely missing me.
I looked across the room to see who threw the ball.
I caught the attention of a demonic creature covered in flames wielding every ball on the court. Breathing heavily as it throws them at great speeds denting the walls and breaking the bones of its victims.
Of course, there was a good reason it was after me… probably because that demon is Sean.
He is a very competitive person and often likes to make Ethan and I have a run for our money. Dodgeball was something we stood a chance at, this was one sport we could beat Sean in, and today was the day to show him that we mean business.
“Ethan, you ready for this? We will take him down today, we won’t let our village be terrorized by that foul creature no longer! WE WILL WIN, FOR VICTORY!!!”
WACK
I didn’t even see it coming… It happened so quickly… I never stood a chance…did I hold it off long enough for my family to escape… I hope so… Ah, I guess this is it… I’m finally meeting you in heaven…
“Oi, idiot wake up.”
As I slowly opened my eyes, I saw an ugly troll directly above me, clearly, I’m in hell.
“Ruby… What are you doing here?”
“Sean hit you in the head and it knocked you out, also your glasses broke.”
“Ah, I see…”
I had grasped the situation… it seems like the girls class was watching the match and saw me get hit in the face. How embarrassing.
“By the way Ruby?”
“What?”
“Why did you rest my head on your lap like a pillow?”
“W-well what else was I going to do, Y-you were unconscious and the teacher told me to look after you. I-if you don’t like it then move.”
I’d be lying if I said I hated it.
“Thank you….”
“EH!? Why are you thanking me, idiot, I just did what anyone would do.”
I sat up to watch the rest of the games that were still going on. Ruby refused to look me in the eyes but I could see her face had turned the same shade as her hair.
We both sat in silence next to each other, enjoying the remaining matches.
