Dodgeball competition 4

Manson became a ghost, which caused our team to panic. He had been a strong player, and a huge advantage to our team. But on the other hand, he would do us great help as a ghost.

The game started again, with Michael throwing the ball, targeting me. I dodged it, and suddenly figured out their strategy. I told Moses and he called for a stop.

During our break, Hailey asked impatiently, "What's the matter again?! Why're we calling for a stop?!" Moses snapped at her, frustrated, "Can you please shut your mouth and listen?!" Hailey didn't say anything. Moses then continued, "Astrid, you said that you figured out their strategy, please tell us. What is it?" I explained, "Have you guys noticed? They're targeting us girls every time they get the right to throw the ball. Their strategy is mainly targeting at girls, and partially targeting the rather strong players." Everyone nodded. Julia asked, "So, what do we do?" Moses plotted, "As Astrid said, they want to target the girls, and they will. So Astrid, Ellen, it's all up to you. Dodge as many balls as you can, and in the meantime, we'll catch more balls."

After a two-minute break, our game resumed and it was yet again our turn to start the game. Moses threw the ball, targeting Michael, their star player. No surprise, he caught it. And threw it back to us, targeting me. I knew it was my chance to shine, so I caught the ball, without letting it touch me, I have to admit that I was proud. I threw it with all my strength back to 6B and to my surprise, Michael went down. He went down, in my hands. I was so fricking proud of myself. That caused us to overpower them.

They were panicked and frustrated, because their star player and captain became a ghost. And no more strong players were on their team. I admit I did feel a little bad for them, but I did my best not to show it. Ellen caught several balls, and it worked the same for Sam and Moses, and the game was finished. We won. We won! Over the star player throughout the whole form! We were extremely proud. However, our joy and excitement would cool down quickly, as we're about to play with 6A, the sports prodigy class. We were nervous, and we were rivals, because 6A beat us last year, and we hated them ever since, they got more and more arrogant, and we were determined to beat them, for once. Hope our determination will help us win though.
