Five: Birthday Disaster Pt. Two

-Dawn-

Ever since Lena went to get water she'd been acting weird. She wouldn't make eye contact with Katrina or Dawn, which seemed odd because these were some of her closest friends. She wouldn't hide anything from them, would she?

Dawn knew something was up, and being Dawn, she wasn't going to be satisfied until she found out the truth.

Right before Lena got back from getting water, the whole group moved to the dodgeball court. It was an area sectioned off just for the dodgeball games that were fun to play. Trampolines lined the walls and the floors and it was all thanks to Jack that we started playing.

Jack was one of the taller guys, just not as tall as Tyler. He had larger eyes that were blue and extremely dark hair that was cut shortly. His voice was lower and more gravely than some of the others.

It started off as girls versus boys, which was almost equal. Dawn noticed that for whatever reason Ash, Tyler and Lena weren't there when it started. Thanks to that, it was five against four. The boys had more players but not by much.

As the game went on people got hit multiple times, changing their team each time. Victoria was one of the best players in the game. She hadn't gotten hit yet– until the very end when Lena showed up.

Everyone playing knew something was wrong with Lena the second walked in. She had this worried expression on her face and because of that, it distracted Victoria into getting hit.

Looking closer, you could see that her eyes were slightly red, as if she had been crying, and when she talked her voice wouldn't stay even.

Right after she got there, all four girls left to see and make sure she was ok.

Dawn was at her side seconds after Katrina. Then, she collapsed onto the floor and stayed there, being surrounded by her friends.

After a few minutes she got up and assured everything was fine, though everyone else knew it wasn't but didn't push the subject any further.

The whole group soon moved over to another area of the trampoline park, a part that seemed to catch everyone's attention; a sort of boxing ring.

It was a large pit filled with foam cubes and four platforms that jutted out. When they walked over there, there was kids playing there. Each kid was on a platform, which they were balancing on and they were each trying to knock each other off with a stick that was surrounded by padding on each end which made sure no one would get hurt too badly. It was a last one standing wins kind of game.

Right before their turn, Tyler returned from the bathrooms.

"Sorry, long line up..." Tyler said ashamed. "I didn't mean to take that long. Sorry everyone."

"It's all good. Hurry up and get on!" Said Dawn excitedly. "It's our turn next."

When the kids were done playing, four of the boys from the group got on: Tyler, Jace, Jack and Simon all got up onto a platform and started glaring at one another, getting ready to whack each other with sticks.

"On the count of three," shouted Katrina. "One.." all four boys went into a fighting stance. "Two.." they all raised their sticks. "Wait!!" Cried Katrina, though Simon started hitting Jack, until realizing no one else was hitting each other. Katrina glared at him for a moment before talking. "Sorry, try to be nice. If anyone gets hurt you'll be sorry. Anyways, three!"

By that point, all four boys put down their padded batons and had to scramble to pull them back up before they got mauled by someone else.

Very quickly, Simon was off, blonde hair falling in his eyes. He went down with a cry of surprise. The three boys who were left snickered at one another because they had all teamed up to get him off, knowing that he would be able to withstand all three boys going after him at once.
