The New Proxy

Chapter 5.

Gym. Fuck my life. Doing laps, & constant stretches isn't gym class, that's workout. Gym is supposed to be sports & stuff. I hate gym with a passion, it's my worst enemy. On the bright side though, I have Kaiden. Downside, I have Tim & brian in this class to, along with Josh.

Walking into the girls change room, I change into a pair of shorts, & a baggy shirt, throwing my hair in a bun. I sigh, walking into the gym area, making my way to Kaiden. Kaiden smiles abit, continuing to tie his shoes. I forgot my shoes, so I'm wearing socks. There is no way I am taking my socks off.

"Alright class, listen up!" Yells the gym teacher, motioning us to come in closer. Kaiden goes to the front, I stay behind him. "We're going to play some dodge ball. If you get hit, you're out. No face! Boys take it easy on the girls, or I'll let them hit you where the sun don't shine." Most of the boys, nod and some reply. If I could hit anyone in this gym, it would be josh.

"2 captains! Kaiden & Josh!" Oh great, I look at Kaiden, making a 'pick me' motion at him. There was no way in hell, I was going to be on Josh's team. Kaiden nods, smiling abit.

Josh scans the room, looking for someone to pick. My stomach drops, when we make eye contact. No, please don't pick me. He glared, but then smiles. "Brittney." He states, I sigh a relief. Kaiden, finally says my name, "you suck a rock, paper, scissors." I state, glaring at him. He chuckled, "I'm sorry, I panic in That stupid game."
I roll my eyes, making my way towards the other end of the gym.

The gym teacher stood on the side lines of the gym, "at the count of 3, & the whistle, grab a ball & throw!" God, this is going to be a disaster.

"1." People started getting ready to run, I however, is ready to hide in the bathroom.

"2." I'm already ready to go home, just to think I have to put up with balls hitting me.

"3." The whistle blew, & people went racing for balls, currently throwing at eachother. Kaiden threw me a ball, grinning at me. "You know I hate dodge ball!" I whined, trying to give him the ball back. He quickly shakes his head, running to throw his ball.

Might as well, get this shit over with.

I went towards the middle a tiny bit, & tried to throw it at Tim. Only for it to hit, Brittney. "Don't go for me, you bitch!" She yelled, whining making her way to the back of the gym, atleast she's out.

A ball came flying towards me, I quickly dodge it. I look over to see who threw it, "almost sweetheart." Smirks, Brian. This cocky little bitch. I rolled my eyes, seeing a ball at the corner of my eye. I look, and quickly try grab it, but so does another hand.

"that's mine." I say, looking at Brian, glaring. He chuckles, shaking his head. He lets go, "only because there's 2 of you left."

What?

I look around, only me & Tim. I groan, rushing back towards the end. I wish someone would hit me, so I can ge your of this place. Brian whips a ball at Tim, only for him to quickly jump back, nice!

"C'mon!" Yells Kaiden, "you can do it."he assured me. I look I see who's all left on the other team. Josh, Brian, and 2 other people I don't know.
Great.

My body was aching from all the dodging I did, I was very sweaty. I felt super gross from the sweat, but there was 2 people left, Josh & from what I heard was, Jayden. Another stuck up Jock.

I look over at Tim, he took off his jacket, his red flannel stuck to his body from the sweat. He looked over at me, I quickly look away blushing, guess I stared to long. Why am I so stupid? I took a deep breath, flinging my arm back, aiming for Jayden.

It missed.

I huff, shaking my head. I was never good at aiming, the only thing I was good at was sleeping.

"10 minutes of class left, whoever wins will get to choose the next activity for tomorrow." I frowned, I'm going to lose and that's okay. I planned on skipping tomorrow. Josh smirks at Jayden, giving a quick nod & throwing both their balls at Tim, making him out.

Fuck! Now I'm never going to win. Tim was my only hope in ever winning this stupid match. He was good at dodging & throwing. I have to say, he has a good arm.

I take a deep breath to calm my nerves, anxiety is really kicking in right now. who fucking know what can happen next! just 10 minutes left, I can dodge & miss them. that's how I'll win. I smile to myself thinking that.

"This would be an easy win." Says Jayden, Josh nods. "An easy score to." I frowned at him, fuck this. I grab a ball, threw it at Jayden. I hit him in the chest, his eyes widen. Guess he didn't expect that, I smirk at him.

"It's you & me baby." Josh Says, smiling at me. Ugh, his smile makes me sick. I gag, which makes him glare at me. I chuckled at his reaction.

I back up, slowly grabbing a ball that was on my side, these rubber balls hurt to get hit with. Knowing how much Josh hates me, I know for a fact that he's going to try hit me somewhere it would hurt.

I look at the time, 5 minutes left. goodness, time sure goes by slow when you really want it to go fast. I take a deep breath, throwing it at him. He dodges it smoothly.

"Just give up already, it's not like you're going to win." I roll my eyes, huffing. "I'm not a giver upper like you." I smile at him sweetly, making him glare at me, growling in frustration.

Kaiden starts laughing, and the others cheer me on. I smile at them, good supporters I guess. I whined up my ball, & throw it as hard as I could at Josh's chest. Lowkey hoping it would hit his face. my heart was pounding, I'm nervous. I ain't going to lie, I'm scared of this dude.

I run towards the center to grab a ball, running with it back to the end of the gym, wiping my forehead. I take a deep breath, turning around to throw the ball at Josh.

I see a ball, flying towards me. I try to jump out of the way, only for it to hit me square in the face, making everything in my sight turn black.

Guess I was wrong.

- Okay I'm alive. 🥶
