The Runaway Queen

Chapter 3

It was P.E next. Lilith jogged out to tracks. As warm up, Coach ordered everyone to run 10 laps and blew the whistle. Lilith dashed past the all her classmates, loving the feeling of wind screaming in ears. She loved the pressure she felt when she was running. While she was completing her laps, she tried to clear her jumbled and messed up mind. After 3 rounds of running she had totally forgotten Damon. She picked up her pace and sensed other trying to run faster to catch up to her, they failed except one did. Damon thought what better way to speak to her than when she was trying to relax.

He changed lanes to run in front of her. Lilith tried to smack his back like he was a bug. Well technically he was bugging her but he turned around and dodged her aimless hits carelessly. She groaned and glanced at him irritatingly. She told him to piss of but he only rolled his black raven eyes. He caught her hand as she tried to slap him again.

'Lilith, mind your damn hands!' yelled Coach, ' I said keep your hands to yourself !Hit him one more time and I swear detention is the next thing your damn face meets!' Coach blew the whistle repeatedly. By the the time he finished,every single pair of eyes were staring at them. Lilith gave off a small 'hmph' and sweared loud enough for only Damon to hear. He snickered and flashed his blinding grin. 'What's the hold up? On with it already. I don't have all day!' barked Coach.

Damon started with a jog while Lilith sprinted on the tracks, all the way cursing at herself and Damon. She would fasten up her pace whenever she got closer to Damon or when he tried to run close to her. Once when they were trying to out best each other, everyone even Coach stopped to see whether they would slap each other or will one of them give up. Knowing Lilith a.k.a.the fastest runner in the whole school no one expected her to back off. Coach was even the first to bet 15 dollars on Damon.

Lilith lost in her thoughts didn't hear her class chant for her or Damon as they divided into 2 groups, 1 betting on Damon and 1 betting on her. She could hear her heart thundering and feel her blood rushing in her ears. Suddenly Damon boosted his speed and left Lilith. She got this urge need to prove to Damon that she was not a weak and defenceless person.

Glancing sideways he saw Lilith gaining up on him. He smiled to himself softly. After all she was going to become a queen and he her general. Running 10 laps was nothing compared to the training he had to get to this position. He wasn't going to lose to her so easily but he didn't want the attention he will get is he won. All around them, they heard their fellow classmates and coach chanting for them. They felt a sudden burst of energy and ran as fast as they could none backing off.

Running head to head the two of them completely the last run. 'Lilith! Lilith! Lilith! You're almost there. Show him who the hell is the fastest runner!' yelled Blair at the top of her lungs. Lilith grinned disappointingly her speed decreased. Damon glanced next to her and saw that Lilith had slowed down. He didn't wait for her. The people's cheering for Lilith quietened when she started jogging. About 20 meter from the ending Lilith who was saving energy burst forward with incredible speed. Leaving Damon to eat her dust. Tremendous whoops and shouts erupted. Many were betting for Damon to win but now they owed money. A lot of it.

After a lot of shouting Coach finally managed out shut everyone up. 'Shut up everyone! Now! Today we will be playing Dodgeball. You are going to dived into 2 groups between boys and girls,' ordered Coach. Some whined about it not being fair because most of the boys were athletic. 'Quite crying ! And it is fare because all you girls are going to do is gossip in some corner and not even bother to catch the ball. All you have to do is run away. Now divide.' They did as told. Angelina is blue-eyed blonde and Spencer is a chestnut haired in the school rugby team. Coach threw a ball between the two and Angelina quickly caught it.

She stepped back to her team and targeted the weak ones first. Victor her first victim tried to jump away but he tripped as the ball hit him. His teammate grabbed the ball and tossed it to Spencer. Wasting no time he shot Bernice at her back. Blair's emerald eyes saw the ball bounce of Bernice coming at her and clutched it. She winked at Jasper and aimed it at him. A second too late he tried to dodge it but got hit. His friend Kyle took the ball from the ground and directed it towards Blair. Lilith seized it just in time. The boys all took a step back from her and she snickered wickedly. She trained her eyes at Sam and slammed the ball at him. She hit him with such force it went all around the place smacking at least 5 boys. She grinned widely as Angelina held the ball. It was 14 to 8. The girls were winning big time. Angelina decided on Cooper a basketball player as they were only athlete left. She missed and Damon got it instead. He targeted Jen and Kate swiftly. Blair caught it and threw it to Lilith and she punched the ball hard at Cooper making him blow out in pain. Lilith chuckled naughtily. Back and forth the number narrowed down to 1 vs 2.

Lilith was the only girl left against Damon and Spencer. They glared one another like predators. 'It would be better if you would surrender,' said Spencer faking kindness. 'Scared you gonna lose? It's totally understandable you know with your reputation on the line.If you the rugby captain lost to a girl, I know coach would be disappointed in you. And you might even lose your title,' said Lilith with fake sympathy. Anger flashed across his face. He tried to slam the ball at her face with such force that she would have been knocked out cold. But she snatched it from the air and stroked him with the same amount of pressure. Coach blow his whistle rapidly at Lilith and went to check on Spencer.

After he was sent to the nurse room the game continued. Both of them stood tall as Coaches threw the ball in the air which Damon caught.He spun the ball on his fingertips trying to distract his opponent. He send it flying towards her but she pat the ball back to him barely missing him. It went on for ages until Lilith finally gave up and let herself get hit by the ball and moaned quietly.

'Finally, I was going to end it. Anyway. Lilith you have detention for injuring Spencer.' said Coach. Lilith rolled her eyes murmuring to herself sarcastically , 'Oh poor Spencer got hurt. Maybe I should write him a get well soon card.' Blair and Damon snickered together with her.

''lith,coach is just pissed at you for shaming Spencer,' said Blair out of Coach's earshot. Lilith laughed out loud.
