Nadine's POV

Let's play a game of dodgeball" she demands holding a red ball in her hands.

Me and Ina look at each other taking a large gulp. The butterflies in my stomach felt more like bats eating away at my intestines. I could tell Ina was equally as nervous as I was.

I suck at every sport!

"Well what's it going to be new girl. Dont tell me your afraid of losing to me" Bianca gloats her sidekicks giggling beside her.

"Pfft who said anything about being scared right Ina" I say looking at her for help.

"Uh yeah"....

I shoot her a look.

So much for sounding confident...

"So let's make teams" Bianca demands. It doesn't help when a bunch of girls run over to Bianca's side claiming a spot on her team. When we pick our teams Bianca looks confident as we take our places.

The boys on the other side of the gym are watching us like hawks. I can see the sweat pour down Ina's face as we stand in our spots. Coach Henry had placed the balls in the middle so that either side could grab the ball at his signal.

Oskars eyes meet mine and his face is emotionless. I can see the anger in his eyes but I'm not sure if it's toward me.  Shifting my gaze I get ready feeling not one ounce of confidence in my body.

Coach Henry blow's his whistle and we race forward. I grab a ball racing back to my side as Bianca's team starts throwing balls every which way.

Me and my team had no plan of attack and Bianca's team were anything but gentle. In fact they were knocking my team members out one by one.

"I'm out of breath" Ina wheezes as she dodges a ball to her left.

"I have no idea how I haven't been hit yet" I say dodging a ball that was aimed for my head.

I'm running around like some maniac.We keep throwing balls until it's only me and Bianca facing each other off.

"Just give up already"! She snarls aiming red balls at me. I'm finding it hard to keep up with her and it's like nothing fazes her. I'm trying my best not to call it quits when I hear a voice cheering for me.

"YOU GOT THIS NADINE"!!

I turn to see a hysterical Oskar waving his hands about. I was caught off guard, I didn't see the flying red ball aiming at my face. It was like everything happened in slow motion as I fell to the gym floor.

All I hear are everyone's gasps. Ina races towards me.

"Oh my god are you okay" Ina asks helping me sit up. I clutched my head feeling an intense amount of pressure. My eyes drift to Oskar and Bianca who seemed to be in a heated argument.

Ina helps me to stand up as I clutch my head with one hand. "Coach Henry I will take Nadine to the nurse" Ina yells across the gym and the coach dismisses us.

I could feel everyone's gaze on me as we made our way out of the gym.

Bianca Simmons would be the death of me.

"I can't believe Bianca would  stoop that low" Ina says. I sat in a chair holding an ice pack to my head. I had a huge bump on my head that I knew would take some time to go away.

"I shouldn't have challenged her. I mean dodgeball... I suck at every sport" I groan. I regret going through with it because I knew I wasn't confident. Knowing my abilities I had no chance of winning.

"You do know this is only the beginning. I told you Bianca isn't one to mess with! She's just going to continue giving you a hard time" Ina warns.

I wasn't one to run away when the going got tough. I was chosen for a reason to attend this school because of my skills. There was no way I was going to give it up all because of some girl who was after a guy I had no interest in!

"I'm gonna go back to the room and change. Did you want me to bring you something" Ina asks standing up.

"Could you bring me a bottle of water"? Ina nods her head before leaving the room. I sulked in the chair , my second week of attending this school and I already had my second altercation with someone.

How am I going to explain this to my parents?

I contemplated on the many stories I could tell my parents. If I told them the real story they'd demand I come straight home which was the complete opposite of what I wanted.

The door opens revealing a stoned faced Oskar. He walks in and I suddenly feel self conscious of my looks.

"What do you want" I snap pressing the ice pack on my large bump.

"I wanted to check on you. How are you feeling" he asks putting his hands in his pockets.

"I'm fine. You can leave now" I sneer turning my body away from him.

"You know you don't have to act like a brat. Especially when someone takes time out of there day to see how you are doing". He clenches his jaw and it's as if I am seeing a different side of him.

"I never asked you to come. Besides, it's your fault I am in this predicament"! I say candidly.

The expression on his face grows darker. "Maybe if you actually had real talent you wouldn't have gotten hurt in the first place" he snarled.

I flinch at his tone

"Get out...Now"!

He leaves without saying another word.
