Midnight Mystery

Episode 8: Dodgeball

December/ 25/ 2025                 Writer: RL

Today me and my class were heading to the gym to play this game called Dodgeball. I have no clue what Dodgeball is, but I predicted it where you doge balls that shoot out of a machine, but I was wrong, kind of. I didn't ask, I just overheard the rules. (That is completely not true.) words: CA. When the team was made, we started the game. Me and Christian were on different teams and were fighting each other. My team was more of an attacker so when the game started my team attacked the other team some of my teammates did go down, but my team hit more of Christian's team.

This left only me and two other people that from what I know Christian hated the most because they did bully him. It was pathetic bullying but bullying none the less. The other team had Christian and someone who was not important. Christian is only still in the game because he stood away from where everyone was and whenever a ball was thrown at him, he just stepped to the side, so it missed.

We first went for the other kid and got him out. When we got him out the bullies turned to Christian and threw insults at him. They even said that he would never win because they had me on their team in the weirdest way. The reason they said that is because I am known as the hottest girl in the school. Christian didn't really care about that, but I did look at them with a look that said, "What the fuck wrong with you and that isn't even an insult," but whatever. They then just threw the dodgeballs they had in their hands at Christian, but he just stepped to the right to dodge.

"Hold still," one of them said angrily.

"This is Dodgeball, why would I hold still," he says tiredly.

"Ah, whatever," the other one said. They then threw more of the dodgeballs at him, but Christian just kept stepping to the right or left to dodge them. Meanwhile his team was telling him to catch one of the dodgeballs, but he never did but eventually the two people on my team could not find any more dodgeballs on our side.

"Hey, throw us a ball," they then say to Christian.

"Why would I do that, " he then says.

"Because we need to win this game," I say.

He then thinks for a second and then says, "No, I don't think I will."

"Why not," I say.

"Because if I don't throw any of the dodgeballs the game won't end, but if I do then either you will catch it or I hit one of you and they get out but now you guys have a ball that could or couldn't hit me," he says.

"MMM, good point," I say.

"So what will you do," Christian said.

"We um, "they both say.

"I actually want to  kno-," Christian says but gets cut off by me throwing a dodgeball that I was hiding that hit him.

I then walked over to where Christian is and said, "You forgot about option three. I keep one of the dodgeballs they didn't throw and wait until you get distracted and throw it at you," before helping him up.

"Ok, didn't see that coming," Christian said.

"Well, I did take advantage of your weakness," I said.

"Cheap move, cheap move," Christian then said.

"Well, I did win because of it," I say. "Know come on we still got-," I say before getting cut off when Christian suddenly falls over and falls asleep.  

Later Rick did come up to me and asked me to help him with something when we were leaving school so when it hit night, I met him at the V.K.A bass.

"So right what did you need help with, "I say walking up to Rick.
