Chapter 22

In gym class Skylor had a lot of time to think over what happened to her ove the past week. She got a C on her english paper, neary got a perfect score on her math quiz and what happened over the weekend.

She was still mentally scarred by the view of a nearly grown man's upper body. The mental image haunted her in her dreams and in reality. She usually busied herself with work or activities to get it out of her mind, but the gym stretches for warm ups didn't take up enough space for the image to disappear.

"Please choose a team for caste ball," Mr. Gambino, the gym teacher, said, blowing his whistle obnoxiously. Skylor wasn't an introvert, but she wasn't one to budge her way into friend groups, so she waited patiently for someone to include her in a group.

"Hey you, Red Haired girl, come over here and join Karloff's group," A dark haired kid called out to her. Skylor let out a sigh of relief. She thought she would be the last person to form a group.

"How good are you at castle ball?" Antonia asked, her hands over her hips.

Skylor swallowed the lump in her throat. "I have good hand eye coordination and can throw balls far and hard?"

"Good enough for Karloff, you're on our team." Teh dark haired teen said, inviting Skylor in their circle.

"I'm Skylor by the way," Skylor said, awkwardly.

"I'm Antonia, that's Gravis, Bolobo, and Karloff," Antiona said, pointing to each person respectively.

"Uh hum!" another guy cleared his throat.

"Oh and this is Paleman," Antonia said, remembering the other member of the group.

"Nice to meet you guys," Skylor smiled. The groupd nodded collectively each giving her a smile.

"Get your caste's ready!" Mr. Gambino put the whistle to his lips and blew hard. The game was on.

Skylor's group beat the others with 6 castle whole the rest only had one. She wasn't kidding when she said she had good eye and hand coordination.

"Wow you have a cannon for an arm!" Bolobo exclaimed, once the group had won.

"I totally agree, where did you learn to throw like that?" Antonia asked, impressed. Skylor shrugged.

"I used to play catch with my dad's employees on the island." She said. Paleman, pushed passed Antonia.

"Your dad owns an Island? That's so crazy cool," He complimented. Skylor smilied a little.

"I guess it was," In reality it wasn't. She was alienated from ayone her age. The closest person to her age was a twenty two year old intern who left after 1 week of work.

"You should totally join our friend group and sit with us at lunch tomorrow," Gravis offered. Sjylor smiled wider.

"Sure I would love that!" She exclaimed, trying to contain her excitement.
