On the Ice (Rewriting)

Part 3

The ball heads my way and I spike it on the other team's side and the ball hits the floor. One point for my team. You're welcome.

Olly gives me a high five and I turn back in ready position for the next round. I notice one guy staring at me from the to her side of the net and I stick my tongue out at him, and he laughs. Who does this guy think he is?

It's now the third round and were only ahead by two points. The ball comes my way and I bump it to the other side of the net and watch my opponents run around looking where the ball had gone but it had already been hit over to my side by the guy that was staring at me earlier.

I glance at him and he notices and winks. I give him a disgusted look and before I know it the other team has scored a point when I wasn't looking. I blame it on that stupid winking guy.

The ball comes out onto my side and I slide towards it and bump it to the other side and the one guy dives towards it and hit it back. I hit it again and he does the same. This goes on for about....oh I dunno, and then he spikes the ball at me, an evil grin on his face.

I step back but lose my footing and before I can duck or dodge it, the ball comes flying at me and the next thing I know the world goes black.

I wake up laying down on a cold metal bench and spring up. I was still in the gym with everyone surrounding me. A cold towel that was covered in the blood falls into my lap and I can feel my vision becoming blurry and almost fall back when I feel a pair of strong arms hold me up.

I look over to see that it was Olly, with a concerned look on my face " What happened? Did I die and come back to life?" I ask trying to have some humor.

Olly chuckles and shakes his head " Nope. You might've broken your nose though. " he turns and looks back at my classmates " Can someone get her another towel?" He asks.

" On it!" Lilly says and runs off. Olly turns back to me and I lean over resting my head in my hands and groan " How did this happen?" I ask.

Olly looks back and gives someone a glare and then turns to me " Well, my friend Jayce over here nailed you in the nose with that volleyball while you were playing. Then, well, I guess you can figure out what happened next." He says gesturing to myself and I laugh.

" Yeah, I guess so," I say. Lilly comes back with a new towel and what I think is the nurse. Lilly hands the towel to me and kneels down next to Olly. The nurse is about 5'3 with dark brown hair that's curled and was wearing a light blue dress. She leans down beside me and takes the towel that I was holding that I had gotten from Lilly.

She holds my nose and I flinch " Does this hurt?" She asks and I nod. No, it's just bleeding and bruised so it definitely doesn't hurt at all. I think to myself and then I instantly feel bad. This lady is just trying to do her job just like everyone else that works here.

She takes her hand away from my face and stands up " Yeah you're going to need to go home for the day. Lilly, can you help her gather her things? I'll tell the office to call her parents."

Lilly stands up " Of course Ms. Molly." She says and holds out and to me.

" Thanks," I say. Lilly helps me up from the bench and then we walk to the locker room to get her my things.

My bursts into the office where I had been waiting for her " Who did it? Who broke your nose? I'll kick their ass." I laugh but my mom was serious.

" Its fine mom. I think it was an accident."

" You think or you know?"

I sigh " I know." I lie. I might never know if it was on purpose or accident, but I'm just going to hope it was an accident. I don't think....what was his name? Jayce? I don't think Jayce would like to face the wrath of my mother.

I laugh again and hug my mom "Let's just go home I don't want anyone else to see my heavily broken nose please."

Mom smiles and nods in agreement " Yeah your nose looks horrible."

" Thanks, mom," I say dryly.

" I love you too!" She sings and walks out of the school. I roll my eyes and chuckle, and then follow her out.

My phone beeps and I see a new number with a text on my screen.

Unknown: Coach wants to know if you'll be making it to hockey practice. Btw this is Olly.

Me: No I probably won't be at school for a couple of days.

Olly: Ok. How's your nose anyways

Me: Well considering that its all purple and bruised and that its broken, not so good.

Olly: I'm sorry

Me: don't be but someone else will be once I'm done with them

Olly: haha ok talk to you soon

Me: ok bye!

I set my phone down on my dresser and change into some other close. I plop down on my bed and turn on the tv, find a decent show to watch, and then my eyes start to feel heavy and before I know it, I fall asleep.
