"Ok class!" The gym teacher yelled from the front of the building. Everyone quieted down a and turned their gaze towards the large man. "Today we'll be working in teams of six! Get in your groups."

You were above average in sports and athletics but were far from being a champion. You were nothing compared to professional athletes, and you weren't even close to being at Chat Noir or Ladybug's level. 

Your face shot around the room in search for who you'd like to be in a group with. Students rushed about to their own groups, mostly consisting of close friends or other sports fanatics, leaving you to decide for yourself. Just as you were about to join the nearest group you felt a tap on your shoulder.

You turned around to face Adrien, Felix, and three others, who you recalled to be Nino, Marinette, and Alya. "How about you join us, (Y/N)?" Adrien asked with a sincere smile. You felt your heart speed up. Just last night you'd cried your heart out to the boy.

"S-sure," you stammered out, receiving confused looks from the rest of the group. You awkwardly shifted your weight from one leg to the other, waiting for the teacher to give directions.

"These are your basketball teams for the rest of this month!" He yelled from the front of the classroom, groans and gasps escaped the lips of many students. Adrien chuckled and wrapped an arm around your shoulder along with Nino's.

"Glad I'm on a team with my friends then," he grinned over at you, his face lighting up like that of a child's. You felt your face heat up as you looked away from him. Stay cool, (Y/N). You need at least one good grade. Just one.

"Nino's team is up against Chloe's!" The teacher boomed out as he was listing off teams. Marinette growled under her breath as Chloe and her goons came up to your group, grinning evilly.

"May the best team win," she smirked with a tone of arrogance poisoning her voice. Behind her, none other than the school jocks. You felt yourself let out a sigh of defeat and you looked around at your teammates. You saw a fire burning in their eyes and you could suddenly feel yourself grin.

You turned back to Chloe. "Oh, we will. Believe me." You said confidently. She growled and stalked off towards the court you had been assigned. Nino gave you a thumbs up as you made your way over,

"That was awesome!" He gushed slapping you on the back. You smiled awkwardly at the now numb feeling your you back. He looked at you sheepishly, "sorry dude/Dudette,"

"It's cool, Nino," you grinned as you all waked onto the court. You eyed Chloe up and down and cracked your knuckles like they did in the movies. Adrien watched you with interest as you began to stretch. May the best team win.

You heard the shrill of the whistle causing you to leap into action. You swung around the other team, passing the ball between you and your teams mates.

You team had managed to be winning by 2 points when Chloe's team made one of their final shots, evening out the scored. There was 1 minute left and you absolutely hated the idea of it ending in a tie. Adrien passed the ball to you as you took of running to the hoop.

You planted your feet, ready to make the shot when Chloe came barreling at you at top speed, a devious look in her eye. You released the ball into the air as her foot collided with yours.

You let out a blood curdling scream as you felt the snap in your ankle. You watched as the ball made it into the hoop, falling your your knees. The final whistle was heard and you watched your score him to 20, winning against their 18.

Your team jumped up and down cheering as you felt the hot tears running down your face. You whimpered in pain as you rocked back and forth. "(Y/N)! You did it!" Adrien shouted in victory as he ran up to you.

His face fell as he looked down at you sobbing silently. He knelt Down by your side. "What happen-" he was cut short as he took one look at your legs, "your ankle! Felix! Come help me!" You sobbed out in pain as you looked at the disfigured shape to your ankle.

Felix came running over. You heard Adrien say something and both him and Felix lifted you up, laying your arms in their shoulders. You cried out as a sheering pain radiated in your ankle.
The both looked at you, your teammates looked at you in horror. They lead you down to the nurse's office.

"It'll be ok." Felix whispered, "we've got you now."
