Slam Dunk

Chapter 7

As I walk in from recess, a few kids notice my limp. They ask if I'm okay and I (of course) say I'm totally fine. As I enter through the doors and into the bathroom, Kyle looks at me with a pained tone.

"What," I snap!?

He flinches, "Oh- um……nothing, " he stutters, turning to leave. I grasp his shoulder.

"Sorry man. I'm just, a little jacked up," I say, trying my best to apologize.

He flashes me a smile. Trying to show is sympathy towards me, and sprints out the bathroom, heading towards the classroom. As I exit the bathroom I notice the bully smirking at me from behind a doorway. I pretend he isn't even there and turn on my heel, sassily! He won't see my pain! As I enter the classroom all eyes are on me, and I notice Kyle talking with the girl. I hear snippets of conversation but just settle myself down. I will have to wait till after school to talk with him.

When the bell rings I jump out of my seat and Sprint outside. I see Kyle walking toward me, beckoning me forward. He looks, well, excited!? I shrug it off, " What is it.

?"

"Well, you see Pike we have a plan, and I think you'll be happy with It," he replies, grinning!?

he continues," Well, you know the bully cheated today?"

I nod, not knowing where he was going with this.

"The whole school knows, everyone! So we, as in the whole school, are expecting a big rematch tonight. At the dance. Also, the best part, whoever wins, cleanly, will get to dance with, her." He smiles at me, and I grin back. I like this plan!
