chapter four
----------
Dodgeball. The only sport that fights to steal track's least favorite rank. All it is is getting hit by a ball then shamefully dragging yourself out of the game while your team makes it audible that they're disappointed.
"Teams will split by classes, therefore class 2A against class 2B," the teacher thought it was necessary to add.
My slight pout turned into a deep frown once I realized who I had to go against. Maybe I could use all my anger out in the game.
Hyunjin met eyes with me and let out a smirk after noticing my state. I was still wondering what was stopping me from punching him.
----------
The red balls were set in the middle of the gymnasium while the teams were stalling on each side of the room. I was already nervous about getting hit with a ball but now there'd be a possibility of getting hit by Hyunjin.
The coach finally blew the whistle and the game had begun. People raced to grab a ball and launch them. While some were lucky others were an easy target to getting hit. I, who was not looking forward to getting hit stayed in the back while all chaos broke ahead of me. Ryujin didn't bother staying with me but rather played the game.
Maybe it was the fact my teammates were glaring me down or I just wanted to help out, that I decided to accept the fact I was in the game. I caught the ball that rapidly flew towards me. My eyes widened after realizing how that could've hit my face.
I gave the person that threw it a look while they slowly left the game. Smirking because of my small catch and I got a bit of confidence and threw the ball. It zoomed past without hitting anyone. embarrassing.
I was doing well to dodge most of the balls and even got some people out. Everything went well until I noticed a ball come soaring my way. I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my upper arm and fell to the ground. I let out a groan and grabbed my arm in pain. When I turned my head to find the culprit who just tried to kill me I noticed Hyunjin with wide eyes and his mouth open.
The game stopped and everyone turned their attention towards me. "Yuri! Is everything okay over there?" the coach shouted. Did it look like it was okay over here?
The coach hurried my way and bent down in front of me. "Take this note with you to the nurse's office, I'll have Hyunjin accompany you." "No!" I snapped. "I can go by myself." I gave Hyunjin a fast glare as he mouthed the words "sorry" to me.
I got the strength to push myself up and drag my feet to the nurse's office.
----------
The nurse had given me an icepack for my arm along with painkillers. Holding this against my arm and holding a pencil at the same time was more than hard.
My head tilted up when I felt the presence of someone in front of me. Looking up I saw Minho with a smug look on his face. "Woah is your arm broken or something?" he asked me like some toddler. I let out a sigh and ignored him. "Shit I should've attended p.e today huh" I heard another familiar voice say.
Han Jisung. One of Minho's friend who was just as foolish and bothersome as him. Ignoring his presence was never hard since he nor Minho ever really spoke to me, but today was my lucky day.
"On a scale of 1 to 10, how bad does it hurt?" Jisung loudly asked. "On a scale of 1 to 10, how bad do you want to let me work?" I muttered loud enough for them to hear. "Doesn't seem like you're working" he scoffed.
He was right I wasn't working, I was writing random words on my paper to let time fly. They didn't need to acknowledge that though. "You should've been there for swimming lessons yesterday" I heard Minho laugh. That asshole was not about to bring this backup.
"What happened at swimming lessons?" a short dark-haired boy, who I'll assume is another one of Minho's friends, asked.
"She wore a wonder woman swimsuit!" a loud voice yelled from the doorway. It was Hyunjin with a smug look on his face. What was he even doing here this was not his class. The class started laughing while I kept my head down to hide how red my face was.
"Hey, Wonder Woman! Sorry about that" he said pointing at my injured arm. "My name isn't Wonder Woman." I hissed. "What is it then?" Jisung asked.
"Her name is Yuri and can I ask what's going on?" I turned around to see Ryujin walk in with a concerned look on her face. I quickly rolled my eyes at her for giving my name out to these jerks. "Thanks," I muttered
"Yuri? Short name for a short person" the dark-haired boy teased. "You're the last one to talk." I snapped, causing him to quickly become silent. "I repeat what is going on here?" Ryujin asked for the second time. "Oh, it's the one that attempted to murder my friend." She hissed while glaring Hyunjin down. I let out a scoff then rapidly closed my mouth.
"Oh please it was clearly an accident and obviously Wonder Yuri doesn't mind it" Hyunjin replied with that smug grin on his face as always. "What type of fucking nickname is Wonder Yuri?" I asked him annoyed by his presence. "Yeah, that sounds corny. Princess Yuriana! Wonder Yuran! Amazon!" he shouted. I launched him bothered looks from every word that came out of his mouth.
"Yurazon!" Jisung spat out. "Pfft, Yurazon doesn't sound that bad" Hyunjin laughed. Since when was my name on display to be made into wack nicknames? I glanced back at Ryujin giving her a "you did this" look. She shrugged her shoulders while holding in a laugh.
"Yurazon the Amazon~" Jisung sung. I aggressively shot up from my seat and grabbed Jisung by the back of his head. Without hesitation and I slammed my knee into his crouch.
He yelped in pain and immediately fell to the ground holding onto his pants. I turned my head towards Hyunjin snarling my teeth at him.
"Get rid of your stupid nicknames."
