"You're out!"

-------

Ryan was grumbling throughout the journey to their lockers. After their second period, Mika was still so speechless with Ryan's outburst back at the first.

"Why would you do that?" Mika finally spoke up. Ryan looked at her and sighed.

"I'm just so angry with the stupidity they display." Ryan said. "I mean come on! A'ight, y'know what? I'm not gonna continue talking."

"Thank you." Mika said quietly.

"You're welcome." Ryan smiled at her. "Someone has to stand up eventually."

Mika stayed silent.

"Now what is with that long face?" Mika looked up to see JiJi and John smirking at her. She smiled back at them and shook her head lightly.

"Nothing." She opened her locker. "Just thinking."

"Oh?" She heard JiJi trailed off.

"Yes." She replied as she turned to face them but was startled when she saw JiJi up close to her face. The short girl took her hand and placed something in it. Mika blinked as JiJi backed a bit. She opened her hand and saw a penny on it. "A penny?"

"For your thoughts." JiJi grinned. "Get it?" The two boys behind her rolled their eyes. Mika laughed quietly.

"I'll tell you at lunch." She smiled at the girl giving her penny back.

"Yeay!" JiJi cheered. The four went on and seperated by the time they have reached the gym to their designated lockers.

"I wonder what we'll be playing today." JiJi thought out loud. The girls evacuated from the lockers to the main gym. A whistle rang throughout the room, catching each and every student's attention.

"Alright listen up!" A woman's voice, full of energy and power, called out. We turned our attention to a short, redhead woman in a white and pink V-neck T-shirt, a silver whistle resting on her chest, pink gym shorts with white stripes running down the sides, matching pink wristbands and sweatband, white knee high socks with pink stripes near the top, and a pair of pink converse shoes with white laces. That's an odd outfit for a coach. "This is the first time we have met since the beginning of classes! My name is Coach Ren! And if anyone makes fun about my name!"

There was a short silence before she muttered darkly.

"I'll break your legs." That's scary. "Alright, we're gonna play a round of dodgeball and the one loses have to run around the court for 5 rounds, so! Who wants to pick first!?" She grinned. That's a scary transition of personalities.

"McKenzi! You're up!" Brittany walked up with a sway of her hips and a smirk.

"Thank you Ren." She sneered at her classmates. Then she was hit by a ball from behind.

"Hey! Watch it! I didn't even pick... yet." Brittany trailed off once she realized who it was.

"Where are your respect child!?" Coach Ren was tossing a ball up and down with a dark look in her aqua blue eyes as she glared down at Brittany.

"S-sorry c-c-coach." Britt apologized. Coach Ren threw the ball at her and it hit her on the head knocking her out cold. Coach Ren whistled out loud.

"You're out! Jones! Rivers! Up front!" JiJi and John looked at each other as Mittens and Tiffany ran to Britt's aid helping each other carry her to the nurse's office.

"Yeesh, remind me not to get on her bad side." JiJi commented before walking up front.

"Ladies first." John smirked at his friend as they stood across each other in front of the rest of the students.

"Don't get too cocky, Rivers." JiJi laughed.

"I wouldn't dream of it, Jones." John remarked. Then the two started spitting out names at each other, announcing out their teams. Which surprised John with her memory of all the students' names in just a week. Then the last two was left standing. Mika and Ryan.

"Mika! You're with me! JiJi yelled.

"Ryan you're stuck with me buddy!" John called. The two just shrugged and went on to their seperate ways. Despite being newbies in the school, the rest of their classmates had this feeling to know better than to interrupt their competative moment.

Then a whistle erupted. "Game on!" Then balls started flying everywhere. The game was so intense that it wasn't the type where you sit around and talk bored out of your ass waiting for them to stop, it was more of an edge of your seat moment. And it all went down to just ten students.

"This is getting intense and I love it!" Coach Ren screeched in glee with a huge grin. JiJi, Mika, Darien, Christal, and Zack stood against John, Ryan, Sherlock, Christa and Josh.

"Just give up already John!" JiJi laughed.

Christal knocked Christa out.

"I would if you go first!" John commented.

Sherlock knocked Christal out.

"Oh come on! I offered first!" JiJi joked.

Darien knocked Sherlock out.

"Ladies first remember!?" John remarked

Ryan knocked Darien out.

"Don't use my gender against me!" JiJi gasped dramatically

Mika knocked Ryan out.

"Ryan no!" John gasped out as the girls laughed.

"Sorry bud." Ryan shrugged playfully, laughing as he took a seat.

"We're down to five players!" Coach Ren announced. "Jimimah, Mikaela and Zack versus John and Joshua!"

Josh looked at Mika, plotting to annihilate her. Mika saw the look and cowered a bit. Josh sneered and threw the ball at her so hard.

"Time out!" Zack called out standing beside JiJi who was having a coughing fit and that announcement was just in time for Mika to dodge the ball and it to bounce off the wall and went directly back to JiJi's direction. Hitting her back and causing her to rack out her lungs and sending her to the floor, a small puddle of blood beside her head and a bit slowly dripping down at the corner of her mouth.

"JiJi!" John and Ryan called out. Mika looked horrified as the two boys ran to JiJi's aid. She slowly found work in her legs and went to the girl's aid as well. Everything was like in slow motion. John trying to keep JiJi awake. Ryan trying to calm Mika's hysteria. Zack trying to calm the other students and Coach Ren scolding Josh.

But everything was a blur to JiJi. A headache was added to her misery from the fall. Her fatigueness finally kicked in as black spots invade her vision. She can feel someone softly slapping her face trying to keep her awake. But her eyelids were now too heavy for her to open and identify who it was. Getting weak from fighting, she fade into the darkness.
