Glassheart: Auradon Taken Over

Part 21 - Roses

Red pov:

It was gym class again. It's my favorite class because I actually feel like myself. Today, we played tennis once we made our way to the courts. The coach told us to find a partner. I wanted to test Chloe and see if she would ask to be my partner. Most of my classmates were around me asking, but I didn't say anything. I just looked at Chloe. She was talking to a classmate before her head turned to see me looking right at her. She excused herself from the classmate and walked up to me. The other students kept asking me to be their partner, but I stayed silent, waiting for Chloe to speak first.

Chloe: Hey Red, wanna be my partner?

Red: Yes. You passed my test.

Chloe: Is this the first test?

Red: Yes.

Chloe: Well, I can't wait to pass the next one.

Red: careful Chloe I might do something if you fail.

Chloe: No, you won't.

And she winks at me as she turns and walks to the court since we started first. We played a few rounds, but Chloe was much better at the sport than I was. The kid of the opponent team hit the ball, and it was coming right at me, but Chloe blocked it with her racket but ended up accidentally hitting me. I fell on the ground. She gasped before kneeling.

Chloe: Are you ok?

I covered my forehead with my hand where it hurt. I laid on my back as Chloe was over me. She took my hand and removed it.

Chloe: Oh no. You got a bruise.

Still laying down, I grabbed a card and flung it in the air, and a big heavy bag of ice cubes fell on my stomach. I groan as I push it off.

Red: That hurt more than the racket.

I sit up as Chloe takes a few ice cubes, take off her sweater, and put it on my head.

Chloe: I'm ok, Chloe, it's just a small bruise.

She helped me up before I snapped my fingers as the ice bag turned into a card and flied back in my hand. I picked up my racket again.

Red: ok, let's start that again.

And we continued to play like normal. After gym on the way back to the next class, I gave Chloe her sweater back.

Red: Sorry, your sweater is wet.

Chloe: Don't be sorry, Red, I put the ice in it. You don't want ice directly on the skin because it's not good. You want at least a few layers to avoid damage.

Our next class was history, Chloe's favorite. We sat together in the back. The class felt a little slow, but it wasn't too bad since I got to learn a little more about Auradon and the Isle.

Teacher: For the next 2 weeks, you will he working in pairs of 2 on a project. Your assignment is to write about something important that happened. Minimum 500- 1000 words.

Chloe raised her hand.

Teacher: Yes, Chloe?

Chloe: Can it be about a certain person?

Teacher: If that person has something important to do with the history of Auradon. It's allowed.

Chloe: I know just what our project will be about.

She told me all excited.

Red: You really want to be my partner for this project?

Chloe: Well, yeah, I get to teach you all the fun things about the history of Auradon.
