Beyond The Crash

CHAPTER 36 | [P.E]

P.E, something Lilley has been unintentionally looking forward to. She had come to the conclusion that maybe P.E. just doesn't exist in FWA.

She smiled, all giddy in her P.E. uniform. A red and white track and jacket and plain white shirt.
She had even gone to the girls' locker room to see what it looked like.

The first thing that caught her attention was the scent of something sweet. It smelled like strawberries and chocolate that almost made the very air edible.

The glossy pink walls that reflected one's reflection had a sparkly glow. The colour of the walls matched that of the white lockers to each girl her own.

For a locker room, it had a place where the girls could touch up their makeup with different fragrance displayed on the dressers.
She walked sprayed the one labelled 'Jasmine' before glancing one last time and walking away.

"What's up with Future Wise? Why are we only doing P.E. now, after all those weeks?" Lilley asked as they, all first years, stretched.

"I think they're just recovering from what happened last year," Dina answered simply beside her.

"What happened?" Lilley asked curiously.

The three of them gave each other a look.
"Depends on what exactly you're asking about," Axel broke the short silence. "Since there are two things that they should be recovering from."

Lilley blinked.
"And what are they?"

"Well, that's not really important," Dina rushed in. "We shouldn't dwell on that."

Lilley stood between them, dumbfounded.
Just like everything else in this world, She stretched her arms upwards. "Everything's a mystery,"

Nicky took a quick glance at her.
"But do you think all mystery needs to be solved?"

Her arms paused mid-air as she turned to him.
"Well... I don't necessarily think so?" She bent her head to the side, still thinking. "I guess you could just say there are some things that should remain unknown... but those are my thoughts."

"Yeah? Thanks," he replied coolly, looking way too melancholic than usual.

Wait, are we talking about the same thing? She slowly looked front as their P.E. teacher.

"Okay, everyone!" he announced, "I'm gonna divide you guys into groups for some quick exercise and warm up before we get in to today's game."

He looked 'round the and pointed at a student. "From you to that end, you're a group..." and he did the same until everyone was in a group. "Good, now follow your group leaders. You guys have twenty minutes. Start!"

Lilley, unfortunately, wasn't in the same group as Nicky and Axel. Her and Dina were put into the second group that consisted of two students. There were four groups in total, each having ten pupils.

In her group, she noticed that the people there were the popular gang, save for the group leader, her and Dina. And maybe Atticus. Now, seeing them again in a sorta close proximity, she could bet that they had to be related.

She whispered to Dina. "They're twins, right? Atticus and William."

"Nope," Dina answered simply as they stretched to their toes.

"But they are definitely related, right?" She asked again.

As Dina was ahout to answer, they heard a loud noise as if someone had fallen hard on the ground.
Everyone's attention turned to what had happened.

Jayden was standing nonchalantly, stretching his arms, and beside him, someone was on the floor. The guy on the floor glared at him.
"We'll settle this on the court!" He raised his voice as if announcing a duel between the two.
