A Field of Poppies

5.

A flaming red dodgeball is flying towards me at the speed of light while ya girl here is frozen like a deer in headlights. I'm absolutely still it's like I've lost feeling in all of my limbs even though at this moment the only thing that I have to do is just move my legs like, 3 steps to the right. Like COME ON. It's like time has froze and everyone is moving in slow-motion.

All around me kids are stuck in the position that they were before Courtney threw the ball.  As always Courtney has that smug smirk on her face that just screams, I'm better than you in EVERY way. If time was really frozen I would walk up to her and slap her so hard that her lashes would come off. But alas, this is just my imagination and in about ten seconds I'm about to have my first kiss with a nasty gym ball that's collected enough sweat, dust and other grime to last a lifetime... wonderful.

Just as the ball and I are about to share our intimate moment, from the corner of my eye I see Alexis a few feet behind Courtney. Upon closer inspection I can also see the bright blue ball that has just passed out of her finger tips aimed straight for the back of Courtney's head. Brilliant.

And suddenly everything snaps back into motion. Everyone continues as they were smiles and laughs except for me who has just been smacked in the face with a dodgeball and is now falling back onto the cold. gym. floor. Thank you Courtney, thank you.

But just as Courtney's about to break into her signature mean girl laugh she's hit straight in the back of the head with Alexis's ball.

So now she's fallen face first on the floor. Ha, take that you- ''Hey Talia you ok''? Alexis interrupts my insult. ''No, my wounds are fatal. I-I don't think that I can stand at all'', I place the back of my hand on my forehead for extra dramatic effect.

''Oh please, just get up''. We're laughing as Alexis helps me up until were cut off by a shrill scream that echo's around the entire gym, turning heads.

''UUUUUUUUHHHHHH'' Courtney lifts her face from the floor, her face is covered with small specks of dust, hair, peeled gym paint and other unmentionables. The most was on her lips because of her over excessive lipgloss, I almost threw up.

''YOU @#!$^*''!The entire gym gasps, ''WHY THE #$@%WOULD YOU %$&*$@% THROW A DIRTY !#$% #BALL AT ME'' ?! Her trembling finger is pointing at Alexis who looks just as over it as I am.

''YOU RUINED MY MAKEUP''! She points to her face which it now a mix of different colors, her eyeshadow slid down to her cheek, her mascara was all over her eye, her concealer and blush had mixed and formed some rosy peach pink and she basically just look more like a clown.

And technically it's her fault for always slapping on so much makeup I mean who are you trying to impress? Her so called boyfriend Conner flirts with just about every girl in the school

Even ME once, which is really weird.

I look down on the floor and see a giant blotch of colors where Courtney's face once was, blush, foundation, contour, eyeshadow even her faux lashes. It's all there

I snicker, apparently loud enough for the gym to hear. Alexis looks at me confused until she follows to where my finger is pointing. And unlike me she just breaks out in a wheezing fit of laughter.

And that triggered me to start laughing louder, so now we're BOTH wheezing.

By this time some kids walk over to see why we were busting a gut, and started giggling too

Then others, and others, some giggling started other people to snicker, and then randomly some girl yells out ''SHE BELLYFLOPPED *cough* AND PAINTED THE FLOOR *wheeze* WITH HER FACE''

Now the whole gym is rolling on the floor.

Even Coach Ambers is failing to contain her chuckles.

I look up from clutching my stomach over bent knees to see that Courtney's face is redder than her hair.

SO.... that's basically how we spent the 5 minutes of gym we had left, and the rest of the school day went pretty quickly after that.

To put it shortly, I got an ice pack, Alexis got detention for throwing a ball at Courtney, Courtney got detention for throwing a ball at me and her inappropriate language (as well as an ice pack  and a face wipe)

The really annoying part is that kids that weren't in the gym when it happened were asking kids that were what happened, especially me since I'm the center of it all

I couldn't get a moment to myself not during class or at lunch, some girl even tried to crawl under the BATHROOM STALL that I was in to ask more questions

...... 

When I say that this school is full of creeps I'm not joking.
