   I can not believe he did that and I said just that, "I can't believe you said that?"

  He looked at me with his arms crossed, "Well it's true though. Why is a prepper listening to the music that we do? You know very well that they listen to that pop crap."

  I shook my head at him, right now we were walking to our gym class. Red is different from the other preppers. She's nice to us, she doesn't bully us like the others. Whenever I look at her I see someone who's miserable. When she was talking about Botdf she was genuinely happy, her smile was real and her eyes sparkled but then this i***t had to ruin it and that light disappeared. I sighed as we walked into the locker room, "Dame," he looked at me, "I think she is going through stuff."

     He scoffed, "what an identity crisis."

    I shook my head, "It's not that. It's something else. When I look at her she looks miserable, like she doesn't do what she's doing. I think she rather be like us. She loves Botdf, that's the most excited I seen all day Damien."

  He looked thoughtful. We changed out of our clothes and put on the school uniform, which consisted of dark red shorts, and a white shirt. We can't wear any other color of sneakers except white. This was super duper ugly, I wish they'd let me pick out my own gym clothes. Damien was done changing and we headed out to the gym. Aiden was the gym teacher as well which is great because he lets us skip certain things, like dodgeball. I looked around and saw Red with a bunch of other girls. She looked better without all of that pink. It doesn't suit her. She looked over and saw us she gave a small smile and looked back when someone said something. I saw her slight frown before it was gone.

   We all heard a whistle being blown and saw Aiden, he smirked at us and turned to the rest of the class, "all right today is a free day. You guys can do whatever you want."

  One of the girls that were in the group with Scar, I think her name was Kelly, said "Scar, how about we practice the routine?"

  "yeah okay." she nodded. They turned and got some mats out while Damien and I sat on the bleachers and watched.

   I love gym. This is the only time I don't have to wear pink. I feel a little bit like myself instead of someone who's acting. The cheerleaders wanted to practice since we weren't doing anything. We got in formation and started stunting, I was the flyer. I'm the one who goes up in the air, and since I'm the lightest most of our routines have a least some kind of dangerous stunt for me to do, this time is different though. I found out that for the whole pep rally I'll be stunting a lot, like the whole routine. That's what coach and the captain said. The stunts needed more work so that's what we were gonna do this fine gym class.

    We got into our group, Kelly as my back, Jenny and my main base and Ben and my side base, he was the only guy on the team. I stretched out real quick and got into position, we started off with a backward roll toe touch basket toss. I jumped and my feet hit their knuckles and they threw me in the air, I rode it, feeling the air on my skin, I rolled backwards then did a toe touch after then landed in their arms. I breathed out happy they caught me. I went up again but this time it was only Ben, he placed his hands on my waist then I jumped and he held onto my feet, he bent down and he now only held one foot while the other was doing a liberty, Ben bent again and this time I did a tick-tock then I did a scorpion into an aerobesc. Ben threw me in the air, I twisted and he caught me in a cradle. We continued doing more stunt, they were more dangerous after the other.

    I was doing the last stunt which was me doing some flip. We started off with a twist up extension, I felt Ben let go of my foot so now I was on one foot, I did a bow and arrow, I did a double twist down, they cradled me, then they bounced and I was set for a basket toss. They bounced twice and I was thrown in the air, this time I went really high, high as in I almost touched the ceiling. I did a kick in the air then I did a backflip, I felt myself starting to fall down, I did a toe touch. Something hit me, I don't know what but I got hit and it threw me off. I fell but I wasn't fully caught, Ben tried to catch me but I was coming down too fast, we both fell. I was off the mat some, my arm had hit the hard floor. I cradled my wrist to my chest as the adrenaline rush from stunting faded. I groaned in pain, I looked over at Ben, "are you okay Ben?" I asked him.

   He nodded, "nothing broken."

  "Thanks for the catch, but what was that that hit me?" I asked

  Ben stood up, and looked around, "I think it was a football. I saw some of the football players throwing it." He looked down at me, "I'm gonna get Mr. Jones." He left to get the teacher.

   Soon after he left the other girls came over, "oh my gosh Scar, are you okay?" they all asked.

    Did it look like I was freaking fine? I'm here holding my wrist, a headache starting to form and they are asking if I was 'okay'. Before I could answer Ben came over. I liked Ben, he was nice and fun to be around. He wasn't like the others. Plus, he's gay. Mr. Jones knelt next down next to me, "can you tell me what hurts?" he asked worriedly

   "I have a headache and my wrist hurts like a mothertrucker." I told him.

   He looked to Ben, "I want the both of you to go to the nurse."

  "But-" Ben started

  "No buts, you were down too. So just to be safe, I want you both to go to the nurse. Got it." We both nodded our heads. He looks around and smiled lightly, "Damien!" He yelled I winced at the noise, "sorry."

   Damien came over and looked at me, "are you okay?" I glared at him, that's a stupid question. He must have figured it out cause he chuckled, "right stupid question." He looked at Mr. Jones, "whats up?"

    "can you carry her to the nurse? You'll be excused from class."

     "Okay," he said

  He knelt beside me and put one arm under my legs and the other under my back and he stood cradling me. He nodded to Ben and started walking to the nurse's office. I laid my head on his chest and let him carry me. I saw Ben watching me, I gave him a small smile. "that was some fall you know." Damien whispered

   I nodded slightly against his chest, "it was."

  He looked down at me as he walked, "anything else hurt?"

  "I'm not too sure at the moment. This headache is brutal." I groaned.

   "You probably have a concussion," he stated.

   "You know caps gonna be mad if you can't do pep rally right?" Ben said

  I snorted, Ben didn't but Damien did though, "I know."

   As we were coming close to the nurse's office the bell started ringing. I groaned and buried my face in Damien's shirt. The noise was like taking a knife to the brain. It finally stopped and I breathed out in pain, Damien winced "that had to hurt." he held me close to him trying not to jostle me now that there was people in the hallway. We finally got to the nurse's office.
