It's been a little over a week since the day my parents came home. It's Monday now and Thanksgiving was on Thursday. Thanksgiving was spent with me and my brother watching the thanksgiving day parade on tv, ordering take-out and watching movies like both The Avengers movies, The Dark Knight, both Captain America movies, Monte Carlo, Ant-Man, etc. My legs still feel like jelly due to all the Black Friday shopping I did with Kat and Sam. Plus December is just around the corner. By that I mean December 1st is tomorrow.
Soon It will be winter vacation and there will be two weeks of no school. I could get through two weeks right?
Oh god I hope so.
After tying my laces on my sneakers, I grab my hair and place it in a high ponytail. I am wearing a black pair of knee length leggings and a low cut white marvel avengers (comic style) muscle tee.
I step out of the girls locker room and head towards the gym were everyone else is. We really don't have a uniform for gym so we are allowed to wear anything as long as we can move in it, like yoga pants, sweatpants, shorts that pass mid thigh, leggings, etc. You get my point. If you don't. Oh well.
I look around the gym. None of my close friends have gym with me and I'm always so alone. It doesn't help that Kai, who I am trying to avoid, is in this class.
I look around to see if I know anyone. My eyes stop when I see a familiar blonde girl standing alone. I walk towards her "No friends here either?"
"No" she laughs "Actually yeah. I have you now." We both chuckle as our teacher came out.
Why are we laughing? Probably to fill in for the awkwardness.
"Okay class today we are gonna play badminton." Some people groaned while others were actually happy. "We will do doubles today so I will tell you your teams then partner you with another team. Got it? Good."
"Team 1..." I zoned out cause honestly I couldn't care less who got partnered with who.
I just seriously hope I don't get paired with someone bad because I am not the best and having two people play horribly on one team wouldn't be the best.
I mean I'm not bad but I'm also not good. Doesn't help I haven't played in a while.
"....with Alex." Wait, what?
"You got partnered with Luke. You guys are Team 7." Tori told me when she saw the confused expression on my face.
None of us in our gym class have the same name so our gym teacher, Ms. Lucas, calls us by our first names.
"Okay now here's were we begin. In this court we have Team 3 versus Team 1." She begins pointing and call out the teams. "Team 5 versus Team 7." She calls point to the net set up towards the corner of the gym.
"Who's team 5?" I ask Tori
"Me and Kai." She says as we head over to get our rackets. Tori grabs the birdie and heads towards the other side of the net.
Well this is gonna be interesting. "Can you play badminton?" Luke asks me
"I haven't played in years but I'll see what I can do." I say
"We rally for serve." Tori says serving to Luke. Luke hits it and then she misses it. Tori tosses the birdie to Luke. He looks at me asking if I want to serve and I just shake my head.
The score now is ten serving nine and were supposed to play to eleven. I get tossed the birdie to serve. So far every time I serve I screw up. I toss the birdie in the air, swing, and miss.
