My Mystic Romance

The dodgeball game (Connors pov)

It was raining, sadly, and for their PE lesson Mr Cassidy had taken them inside and given them 2 options, 1) do basketball or 2) do dodgeball. Connor liked that decision, both dodgeball and basketball were fun in his opinion, the verdict was dodgeball. Mr Cassidy chose team captains, He got to captain team 4, he didn't care that he had been chosen, he only cared that he now had to choose, straight off the bat he chose Michael, Mike had always been good at sports and what was better they knew each other well. He then glanced down the line of boys waiting to be chosen and his eyes landed on Kit, no doubt he'd only be picked as a last resort. Pity shot through him at that thought, Kit wasnt bad, not bad at all, he just usually kept his distance from people, then he remembered he was a vampire, no a leech, and He wouldn't pick Kit if his life depended on it!

But all through the construction of his team, he watched Kit, watched his eyes look to each new person picked, and how he seemed resigned to the inevitable, the shot of pity shot through him again like a flash burn and he found himself picking Kit, he was appalled at himself and Kit looked just as shocked at his actions as he did himself.

Teams 2 and 3 played first and then it was their turn, "Teams 1 and 4 now lads!" Mr Cassidy shouted above the echo of his own whistle, Connor went to stand against the wall, him and Michael where to get the balls of their cones, he ran fast to get the ball and when he grasped it, he flung it at the wall, catching it and in the same movement hurling it at the opposing team captain, (straight in the gut! HA!) He noticed Kit watching him looking amused, anger rippled through him but then he noticed the ball flying at Kit who still had his back turned, but Kit caught it, in one hand and chucked it to Kai looking bored, Kai looked surprised but took the ball willingly enough.

The rest of the game continued and he manged to get most of the opposite team out, but Kit, much to his dismay, carried the game, catching and dodging everything thrown his way, he had to admit, it was pretty cool.

His hood was up and he was walking to Spanish, the only lesson he didn't have with the leech, although, Both Jennifer and Sam were there so he didn't get of completely free, now that he contemplated it he realised he would have to sit next to Melissa, and that was sure to be fun, female werewolf or not, she was still very bitter.

He spotted Kit then, walking alone (should i go over and thank him? No, he was lucky to have been picked by me. Okay now i just sound egotistical) He sighed internally and walked up behind Kit and said, "You played good today, how'd you get that good at catching?" "Oh, I'm not that good," Kit responded with a small startled chuckle. Connor cursed himself for starting a conversation, he wanted to continue, he found the vampire interesting whether he admit it or not "hmm okay then," he said coldly and walked off he could almost feel Kits confusion.
