Chapter 20 ~ Crucifix

"This game will be called dodge ball. I assume all of you remember this game. Go with your team mates now, we'll start soon."

We're in the school gym when the coach yelled while he gets the balls and we gather in two big circles to talk and meet with our teammates. I look around and saw that Chace is in my team. Too bad Adam is in another team. I stared at Chace's beautiful face who's listening carefully to our team leader, teaching our strategies and that we should dodge fast.

I averted my gaze when our eyes locked. I feel like my cheeks are now reddening because he caught me staring at him. This is embarrassing.

"Okay children, go to your positions!" The coach puts the balls in the center for us to take. We also walked to our designated positions, I was assigned to stay at the back beside Chace. I looked at Adam who's the team leader and he caught my stare, winking at me.

"Good luck, baby!" He yelled at me. Some of the boys cheered and others giggled. I just smiled shyly. Even if we're not on the same team, he still cheers for me.

I was kinda jealous when Ava whispered something to Adam's ear in a flirty manner and he chuckled. I don't know why, but I think Ava really likes him. I just clenched my fist in anger.

"Are you all ready?" The coach asks, his whistle ready in his lips. We all said yes and he started to blow his whistle where everyone except me scrambled their way towards the balls.

The balls are only limited so I didn't get a chance to get a ball to throw so I just watch our opponents and prevent the balls to hit us.

Throwing the balls lasted for like five minutes until few of our team mates were hit and they're out. I was ducking and dodging until voices started to whisper in my ears.

Left. Left. Left.

Huh? I went left and the voices were right because the balls were coming at me. Good thing I prevent it quickly by jerking my left.

"Good job, Arabella." I heard Chace said and he patted my arm. I grinned.

"You too. Those football guys are targeting you." I told him while he dodge a ball that Adam threw towards him. The students' scream from the bleachers are now getting louder because of their cheers. Only the four of us are left.

Chace laughs, "Yeah I can see, you should catch a ball and throw it to Ava. She's the only girl left." He said and I nod my head. I should probably be useful. I don't want to rely on the Voices for us to win.

When Adam threw the ball towards me, I know he didn't throw it hard enough because I caught it. It's actually an advantage that he's my boyfriend. His teammates yelled at him for being bias and that's when I targeted Ava and threw the ball where it landed to her breasts.

"Ouch! That hurts!" She winned, massaging her boobs. All the people who saw it burts into laughter. Everyone are laughing including me. I don't know why, but Chace's laugh is the loudest.

"Ava, you're out!" The coach blew his whistle.

"I'm sorry!" I yelled at her, she just roll her eyes at me while she went out from the court and sat on the bleachers.

When the remaining of us are throwing balls at each other, one of the guy from Adam's team quickly launched the ball towards me, I knew I'm fucked up because the ball is almost hitting my face so I close my eyes but I gasp because I was being held by someone down the floor. Completely preventing the ball.
