CHAPTER 7

~ Lily's P.O.V. (Wednesday)

Today is sport day at school when all the students from Grades 9 and 10 split up into groups and go to a different sporting ground depending on which sports they chose.

At the beginning of each year we pick which 2 sports we do for the year and on Wednesdays we have half a day of one choice and half a day for the other.

My choices: soccer and gymnastics

Sam's choices: gymnastics and softball

Aria's choices: Softball and athletics

Kat's choices: swimming and basketball

After role call we made our way into our sporting groups, first up I had gymnastics. Once I got into my gymnastics uniform which consisted of a black crop top and black shorts I met up with Sam and we made our way to the gymnastics bus and took our seats at the back.

Everybody sat in a kind of order, year 9s at the front with the teachers and year 10s at the back, we got our spots at the start of the year and never change seats, Sam and I sit about 2 seats from the 'cool' girls.

It's really kind of stupid but that's just how it works at my crazy school.

About 10 minutes into the drive Jerry, our bus driver, announced that we will have to stop at the local boys school because some of them chose gymnastics too.

I know what your thinking, what boy does gymnastics but these we're the 'popular' guys and did it as a joke. They're complete idiots and only did it to get girls from my school.

Sam and I enjoyed the laughs when any of the tried to do a cartwheel or flip etc. because they were honestly terrible.

We stopped at the boys school and about 9 guys got on most of them were in year 10. There were plenty of empty seats on the bus because not many girls chose gymnastics.

2 guys came and sat in front of us and 2 behind. I have to admit they were hot but they were so full of themselves. You could just tell by how much 'Lynx Africa' they had on.

After about 30 seconds of being on the bus they guys in front of us turned around.

"Your cute," the blonde haired boy said looking at me, "what's ya names?"

"I'm Lily and this is Sam." I replied back.

The other boy who seemed shy said "I'm Liam and he's Riley."

"So why did you guys pick gymnastics?" Sam asked.

We already knew the answer but it was a long bus ride and we wanted to make the most of it.

"Riley made me. I wanted to pick athletics but he said gymnastics would be better." Liam said which made Riley blush.

"What other sport did you guys pick?" I said wanting to change the subject.

"We both picked soccer as our other sport." Riley answered.

Oh great a whole day with these idiots, I thought to myself. Sam just laughed at me because she knew I'd be stuck with them for the whole day. I could tell she felt sorry for me.

"Alright, everybody out. We're here." The bus drive informed us.

We all stood up and exited the bus, Riley and Liam following close behind me and Sam, in their gymnastic tights. I bet they didn't think they had to wear those.

Once we got inside we split up into 2 groups, red and blue. I was in blue along with Sam, 5 other girls from my school and sadly Riley and Liam.

"So, do you have a boyfriend?" Riley asked me.

"No"

"Yes you do," Sam said with a smirk, "Hayden."

"He's not my boyfriend. He's... he's probably forgotten who I am already." I said sadly.

"Kat told me your conversation. He's totally into you." Sam assured me.

Before I could reply Riley interrupted "Um well whoever this Hayden guy is, I'll make a better boyfriend than him."

"Hey mate leave her alone. She's obviously got someone special in her life." Liam told Riley. He was sweet unlike his friend, they're completely opposite actually. This made Riley turn and walk away b

"Thank you." I whispered Liam, who gave me a friendly smile.

Now that was over I could focus on what the gymnastics instructor was telling us.

"Now girls... and... umm boys, today we will be working on flips. Can anybody already do any type of flip whether it be a front flip, back flip etc!"

A couple girls put their hand up including me. I had learned to do flips when in acro at dancing.

"Oh lovely, can I see a demonstration from you," Hayley our instructor said pointing at me, "What's your name?"

"Lily. What type of flip do you want me to do?" I asked.

"Any that you can do."

I nodded my head and proceeded in doing my flips beginning with a front flip, followed by a back flip and finished with a side arial (no handed cartwheel).

Hayley was very impressed and so was my groups, except for Riley who rolled his eyes which made me laugh.

The rest of the gymnastics lesson I was teaching people how to flip which was pretty boring but oh well because I had soccer to look forward to which was never boring.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

Once our gymnastics lesson was over we went back to school and had our brake. 20 minutes later we packed our lunch up and got ready for the afternoon which meant putting on my soccer shirt and I just left my bike shorts on because it was a hot day.

Only 2 girls picked soccer from my school, me and a girl called Brooke. She had red hair, green eyes an freckles all over her face. Brooke was probably the nicest person I've met but she was terrible at soccer.

We bordered the already full bus filled with boys. Great, more guys. As i looked up and down the bus for a seat i noticed Riley and Liam, I gave them a friendly smile which was returned from Liam but Riley just looked away.

Brooke and I were both looking for a seat and spotted some, one at the back and one at the front. I took the one at the back next to a curly haired boy who said his name was Tim.

We had a very short conversation with consisted of him telling me how good he was at soccer, typical boy. I pretty much ignores him the whole time, giving occasional nods every now and then.

Once we arrived at the park we put our shin pads, socks and soccer boots.

Everybody got into a big circle, about 25 students, and said our name which took forever. After my go I zoned out until one boy said his name.

"Hayden"
