sports day.
As she got into the school, she looked at the banners and gave a heavy sigh. "I know that sports day isn't your favourite, but you have to." Gwen responded to the sigh. "maybe I can get aqua to pull me out again." Onyx said shrugging her shoulders "don't do that." Gwen responded. When In class there was an announcement over the PA. "I know that not all of you like this day, but it's important for the school and there are still a few of you who need to sign up for something. So, your homeroom teacher is going to send you to my office to select your options." And after he was done there was a small amount of static and the PA finally turned off.
"I'm going, I'm going." She said as the teacher had to push her out of the room. She walked through the school with her hood up and she made it to the principal's office. "is this really necessary?" she asked but she got a stern look from the principle. "I'm writing it down." She said as she placed her name on the only available one left. It was the 500m sprint and there was a reason as to why nobody else would choses it willingly. "so, you're going against me?" Charlie asked with her arms crossed and her face showing she knew she would win. "don't get to existed, I'll probably just walk around the track." Onyx responded then she realised that Charlie shouldn't be there. "what are you doing here?" "I'm the star of this thing, I get to skip class today." Charlie responded showing off a star she had. "that's cool and all, but I don't care. You could have just said that because you have to train every day, you get to skip class."
"well, I've heard that you've been training with your little posse." Charlie responded. "not for a race, but for something else." She responded walking out. "well, what is it?" Charlie asked. "I'm not saying, and I'm not falling for this trap." Onyx responded. She continued to walk with her hood up. She arrived back at homeroom where the room was empty as they had moved to the sports ground. She sighed and made her way to sports ground reluctantly. She sat in the stands with the rest of her friends. "this seems a little extreme for a school sports day." Jessica noted seeing the javelins and quivers. "this is pretty toned down from last year." Ted responded and onyx just grunted and sat there.
She watched as Gwen, Elizbeth and a few others walked onto the stand and grab there quivers and bows and headed for the where they needed to stand. "and we have a few new faces in the crowd, but I'm happy to see that our undefeated champion is still here." Someone said over the speakers. "who's that?" Brian asked and while everybody got close to hitting the bullseyes, Gwen got all three of the arrows in the bullseyes. "it her isn't it?" Amy asked onyx and Olivia gave a thumbs up. Throughout the rest of the day everybody got there turn and it came down to the final two matches came up. The first one was the boxing match. This year it was between ted and ben. "you've gone soft. You won't win." "no, I grew up." Ted responded taking the first punch.
The trading he had been doing at the weekend was paying off. Onyx had taught him to be swift and unpredictable. It was working and he was more focused on tiering ben out then hurting him. It may have taken 30 minute, but he finally wore him down enough to be able to knock him down easily. He stayed down long enough for it to be considered a T.K.O. to everybody's shock he won and while furious, ben couldn't get up. Onyx, however, wasn't shocked. She knew he had it in him. "I knew you could do it." onyx said when her got back to the stands. "I'm just glad to finally be able to punch that jerk a fair playground, with no knifes." Olivia, onyx and ted laughed and that's when the final race participants where called.
"you know, freak, that was impressive from your friend over there. Too bad he's the only one who could do it right." Onyx, in the calmest tone possible responded. "what about Gwen's archery trophy right there." "your girlfriend doesn't count." "she has a girlfriend that isn't me." "Shure." "well, what about your boyfriend over there?" onyx asked with a slight smirk. Charlie got close to her "you're going to die for that you freak." Onyx just shrugged and got into the starting position after taking off her hoodie, revelling a crop top and her muscles. They were small but noticeable. This alone made Charlie angry.
