Chapter 6: Leader

The next morning after the kiss with Leo, I get up with a smile on my face. I get dressed and put on my ballet clothes. I go to brush my teeth and walk next to Leo.

"Hey", I tell him with a small smile.

"Hey there", Leo says casually while he continues to brush his teeth.

"So what's with this PE class? I thought I joined the Ravens so I wouldn't have to run around a gym", Hayley asks as she stands next to Leo.

"You know Coach Davies was a Raven himself? He was one of the first coaches to use advanced stats in basketball", I tell Hayley proud to know such knowledge after listening to Coach Davies' life once for an hour.

"I see you're really taking care of yourself with the whole dental hygiene", Hayley observes since Leo has been brushing his teeth for 5 minutes.

"I always take care of myself, Woods", Leo tells Hayley before spitting. Hayley walks away disappointed by Leo's apparent lack of flirting.

"So, about yesterday", Leo tells me as I look at him waiting for him to talk about our kiss and the fact that we said we liked each other.

"I was thinking about it. There's no way Louis will just forgive Daniel for what he did. You know what that means, don't you?", Leo asks me my smile fades into a frown. I thought he would ask me to be his girlfriend.

"What does it mean, Leo?", I ask him a little annoyed about the fact that he is ignoring last night.

"It means there's no way he'll let Daniel remain captain", Leo tells me with a small smile acting like he is happy about Daniel's problems.

"That's what you're thinking about...Daniel being humiliated?", I ask him scoffing at his insensitivity.

"Highlight of the day. Let's go, Osmund. Rock 'n' roll. Rock 'n' roll", Leo tells me as he walks away.

"Osmund?", I ask myself having never been called that before. I go to wait for Hayley before we walk to the gym.

"We are late for P.E.", I tell Hayley as I hold out my hand to help pull her up. I grab my dance bag and turn to go.

"Boys are crazy", Jackie says walking up to us.

"Tell me about it", Hayley mumbles probably talking about Leo.

"I know", I say thinking about Leo ignoring me.

We all walk to the gym and talk about boys along the way. We finally arrive and Hayley and Jackie sit in the bleachers with the rest of our house waiting for Coach to talk as I go to Coach Davies.

"Hey, Coach", I say with a smile.

"Hey, Angelina, what can I do for you?", he asks me looking at me dance clothes in confusion.

"I will be spending my P.E. days with Madame Kirova for extra practice since I am taking a gifted class", I tell him twidling my fingers nervously.

"Well as long you are physically active, I have no problem with it although I will be sad not to have you", Coach tells me giving me a side hug before I wave to him and the class.

"Welcome to your first P.E. day. You will have these once or twice a month and will be notified two days before. We are going to be doing small physical activities for the 2 hours I have you during these days. Let's start with suicide runs", I hear Coach scream at them as I go to the glass studio on the second floor.

I walk into class and notice I am the only one since the other students are Eagles and have different physical days. I change my shoes and begin to stretch. I am in a very complicated stretch touching my toes backward instead of forwards as Kirova walks in.
