P.E class!!

It’s been few days since that cafeteria incident. Everything look like coming back to the track, and tests were coming after us, every week we have a test, a small test, but it’s still a test. It feels like we been scheduled, like robots. Just time has to come. I, Elsa and Petra are becoming very good friends. We talk every day, we eat lunch together. Getting to know each other better. It’s nice; it feels nice like, a good change in your life. Having someone who you can trust and tell each other you’re feeling that you can’t share with anybody else.

And Elrond, It’s been two days that I saw him after that washroom….

I admit that his advice works. I put oil and starting rub and it's peel off like glue…like when we used to do, putting glue into hand and peel it off. It was not very similar but, it works. Thump ups. 

It’s a P.E class and we were almost done with changing clothes. Track pants and shirt. Very basic, oh school name….yeah...That too. When I was in middle school, I always thought what it likes to study in a very big school?  Well it’s not like am not proud to be here, getting admission here is very tough; you need good marks and all. Am proud to be here and am going to get a very good mark and make my parent proud.

“…..then fell she fell on the mud.” I heard Rachel was talking about something. She’s really annoying, all she talks about what she has and all. I bet she didn’t have to get good marks in this school.

“Ready?” Petra asked after she finished tying her shoeless. She’s very good at sports. She plays volleyball. In her middle school, she represents at the district level. And the hand, I would probably fell on the ground while walking. 

“Yeah let’s go...” I said as we start to go out of the locker room but before we go out; Rachel bumped into me and went past followed by her friends. Luckily Elsa grabs my arm so I didn’t fell down.   

“Forget about it...Nothing can be done.” Elsa said and we finally went to the ground.

God is very happy with us, the weather is really nice. We heard boys were going to play football. Like they are getting a wish come true. And we girls, few like play sports game like, volleyball, basketball and all but few don’t. Including me. And some don’t like to do anything. Like Rachel.

“I can’t destroy my nails. I did it yesterday....” and her few friends look at her nail, asking her where she has done that...

“Where is Mr. Brad?” Petra looks around to look at the fat body, how come very school P.E teachers are fat?

“Yeah, it’s impossible for him to hide having such a Santa body,”  Elsa said and we both laugh. As we see boys were playing football like crazy.

“We should have got the ball at least we would be playing dodge ball or something...” one of our classmates, July suggested. She’s nice. And toppers of our class too. “Yeah lest go get the ball...”  Elsa was cut off by the screaming of the other classmates.

“What Elrond and his friends doing?” we saw them coming to the ground. For some reason am tense, like I did something, and cops going to arrest me.

“We should get the ball…” I said and we began to move.

“I like how you’re getting interested in playing. I would say am a good influence...” Petra said and Elsa pats my shoulder, Elsa also likes to play but not like Petra though.

We saw them coming to us, coming in our direction. “Are they’re coming here, to us?” Elsa said that make our speed very slow.

“I don’t think so.” I said and look at them to see if they are looking at us or not.

“I think they are.”Petra said and stopped.

“What if they don’t?” Elsa said and we start to walk again.

“Let’s walk slowly so we won’t be looking like we are avoiding them,” I said and they did what I said. I don’t know what is my feeling? He has an aura of dominant other which I find very uncomfortable. Knowing that I don’t have any guts to say anything. So better avoid him and his classmates.

But looks like it’s not happening.

“Stop there...” one of them shouts at us, and we stop on our track.

“What they want?” Petra said in a very low voice.  

Then they come to us. They are five; they are the same people in the cafeteria. Don’t tell me, it’s our turn?

“Mr. Brad has some schedule so we are going to look after you.” One of them said. And I breathe in relief. Elrond was there too. He wasn’t looking at me.  He looks fine, which means not the face. I mean that he doesn’t look like he’s thinking something…SHIT!!

He looked at me! He saw I was looking at him! I immediately look away, but I can feel he is smirking. The other half of our girls joined us. Because you know….Elrond…his friends…everyone likes them…

“Oh my god Elrond what are you doing here?” Rachel asked them pushing us aside.

“Detention you can say...” Elrond sound so impassive saying that. 

“You’re such a bad boy…” she said giggle with other girls.

“Okay so….what you want to play girls…” James said. I get to know his name after his friends call him.

“If anyone doesn’t want to play it’s okay…no impel…”  James's sound is really nice. Like a good senior, he knows how to handle everything and guide everyone. I look at Elrond he was kind of circled by five to four girls. Are they ritual or something? Summoning Satan Elrond to make a wish come true.

 “Why are you laughing?” Elsa said looking at me…hoping something eldritch not happening to me.

“Are they doing ritual?” I pointed at them and when she saw she also laugh with me. My eye goes to them I saw Elrond was looking at us. Did he hear what I said? Is he thinking we are laughing at him? Well, we kind of…and not…We’re laughing at girls! But why I’m preparing answers like he going to ask me?

“Where’s Petra?” I asked noticing one of my friends is missing.

“She went to get the ball….we are playing pair dodge ball.” Oh?

“Don’t worry they are not forcing us to play.” She adds on and I breathe in relief. I should get a book to read in my free time. Then Petra comes with the ball which she didn’t have to go too far. As she joined the group those who are interested to play, five pairs I can see, Rachel was talking or implore to Elrond. Whatever is going on I’m going to get my books. Then she went to the group and they are five pairs now.

As I was going to my class Petra shout at me. “Luna!! Come back…we are short of one pair!” I went to her to listen properly to get to know she wants me to play.

“We are in odd. Come play with us.” Petra was very ardent to want me to play.

“No. It’s okay…I don’t think I can play well….”

“You wanted to play…you show the spirit to play. Now don’t do that...”

“Ho...How can…you are already in pairs…and I don’t...”

“I will be your partner.” He stands up and comes to us. In a very smiley face…oh I see..why girls like him..his face...

“I’ll be your partner…so let’s play” he said no no no. he ordered to play.

“But you said you’re not in the mood...” Rachel said in complete shock. She was pleading him to be his pair.

“Mood change...”  Elrond said and that make Rachel to say anything else. But I can see her eyes. Burning with anger…she’s just going to shoot laser with her eyes in my head.

“Okay that’s settled…now you’re in-game,” Petra said and went to his partner.

I saw Elrond was waiting for me to come to him. This game was basically. Don’t get hit. Not let the ball hit your partner. And when you have the ball among your partner pair you cannot move.  To move, you must pass the ball to your partner. And throw the ball to the opponent pair.

Both of my friends are on other teams. Am lonely, I go to him. He so tall, my height touches his chest. Maybe heel would help.

“Long time since I meet you.” He said looking at me. Knowing that am not looking at him.

“Yeah…”

“You want to win?” yes...Off course...

I just nodded my head and look at him.

“Then get behind…we’re going to win this one…”
