"Is that your schedule?" Lottie asked referring to the paper in my hand. I nodded giving it to her "Oh, you have sports now" she informed.

"Yeah, do you know where is the gym?" I asked looking ahead of the hallway.

"Yeah yeah, I do. You go that way till the end of this hallway, take your left and go down the stairs then take a left then right then another right and it's the big door by the end of the hallway you will find when you take another left--"

She stopped as I looked at her blankly "Come on, walk with me. I will walk you there." She said and we started walking.

"So what sports are you playing?" She asked and I instantly smiled at the mention.

"Football," I said tilting my head to the side and looking at her "Who is the girls' football team coach here?" I asked.

She looked back at me frowning "You mean football cheerleading team?" She asked stopping in her tracks.

"No no, do I look like a cheerleader to you?" I said bluntly.

"Then? Wait, do you really play football?" She asked in disbelief, I sighed loudly.

"Yes, I'm signing in for the girls' football team here and I'm aiming to be the captain. Who is the football team captain here?" I asked occasionally.

"Um oh," She stopped clearing her throat "yes um, actually" I crossed my arms across my chest waiting for her to continue.

"There is no girls' football team."

He words came through me like a truck filled with disbelief, anger and frustration.

"What?" The only thing I was able to say as my hands fell to my sides. Is she for real now? Wait is this real?

"But, do you really play football?"
She asked again, and I was too dumbstruck to answer. I pushed my hands into my bag searching for my phone.

Did dad know about this?!

As soon as I found it I fished it out and called my dad, the line kept on beeping with no answer.

I hung up almost scratching my screen, did I careless?

"You can't use phone in the hallway! That's against the rules!" Lottie warned and I scoffed before looking at her.

"I don't go by the rules," I retorted "I make my own rules."

I saw her take a step back with an awestruck expression on her face "Where is the principal's office here?" I asked impatience evident in my voice.

"There," she pointed to the door meters away from where we stood. I was about to walk there, when she told me she had to leave for class. I was too busy and angry to reply.

I dropped my bag on the floor sitting in the chair in front of the principal his name shining in bold on the rectangular shaped board.

I waited for him a few seconds to acknowledge my presence, but I am not much of a patient person.
I stumbled my feet so he would look at me. Mr. Maximos lowered his specs, "May I help you young lady?" He asked

"Yes you may," I gritted through my teeth. "Your school is illegal! " I shouted

"Beg your pardon! " his British accent so thick you would mistake it for a cow.

"I said, your school is illegal every school should have a boy's football team and a girl's football team, WHICH IS NONEXISTENT IN THIS SO CALLED SCHOOL " I shouted my patience long gone.
