Two Is Better Than One:Chapter 19
-------------------------

I'm suffocating and these lights, these bright lights are blinding. I brush a long curl from my forehead. I crouch down in the corner of the large humid room, breathing heavily. Balls are flying around the room, ricocheting off the walls. I close my eyes, wanting to just disappear.

I hate gym.

And I fuckin hate dodgeball.

"Jules, get the hell up!" I heard Amy scream from across the room.

Sadly, I was the only one left on the team that wasn't hit by a ball yet, and it was just me. My team was currently screaming at me from their positions by the wall, with a very angry Amy leading them.

"Come out, Juliet. We just wanna have some fun." Louise taunted from across the court. The only thing that separated me from her was the black bold line splitting the gym in half.

I looked over to see Amy glaring at me. This was either a very important game or she was just a very competitive person. The fact that she wasn't even playing, and just sitting on the bleachers was scaring me even more.

It wasn't like she could just storm across the gym and not get hit. I mean, she's pregnant and she can be even more scary, but still, I don't think she likes to see me humiliating myself.

My eyes widened as I watched her erupt from her seat. I quickly scrambled onto my shaking legs, grabbing a ball. She stopped in her spot once she spotted me with a ball. With a satisfied look, she cocked her head to the side telling me to the throw the ball.

Ok, so here's how it is. Each team has their players, if a player catches a ball that another player threw from the opposing team, that person that threw the ball is out, also if someone is hit by a ball, they are out, but if they get hit in the head, the person that threw the ball that hit the person in the head is out. Now, here comes my part. If you have a bunch of people are out from your team, there's obviously an easy percentage of losing, but if you are able to hit the back board of the basketball hoop, everyone out on your team can come back in the game.

So here I was, ball in hand awkwardly throwing balls that thankfully no one had caught yet.

"Come Ms. Jensen. We don't have all day!" Coach Dick yelled from his spot beside Amy.

Good god. Why me? Why me out of all people be put in this kind of awful situation?

I gulped, visibly quivering in front of Louise and her team. They each had balls in their hands, and just as Louise started counting down, I literally believed I was going to die at that moment.

The second she reached number one, balls came flying my way. I began panicking, frolicking frantically past and under the balls. All was quiet when I finally stopped moving. I looked around to see balls surrounding me, and none of them had touch me.

This was definitely a work of God.

I let out the loudest sigh, slumping against the wall.

It wasn't until I heard that sound of Amy, that I realized the game wasn't over. I had all their balls on my side now. They couldn't do anything about it and I mentally giggled evilly at the power that I had now.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Louise fall down to her knees, trying to reach for a ball without crossing the line. A smirk appeared on my face as I walked over to her.

I stood over her, watching her struggle. With a tap, I kicked the ball away from her. Smiling in victory as she let out a growl. I looked up to see the rest of her team watching me. I stepped back, preparing myself for the complete opposite of success...but that didn't happen.
