"Ready?" he said opening the door. "Yep." I walked out the door and right into some one. "Not again." I groaned as I stood up. "You and I bump into each other a lot, morning Chod." It was Matt's familiar voice. "Morning to you too." Chod said walking up next to me. "And what about us, mon?" I could recognize voice anywhere as Martin's. "Morning Martin." I greeted him. "Morning to you as well Tai." he replied with a smile. "We better get a move on or we'll all be late." Chod said walking towards the staircase. "Where's everyone else?" I asked as we all walked down the hall. "They're probably retaking that test we had yesterday." "That sucks." "It's their fault for not studying." Chod's voice interrupted. "Ha ha he's always like this in the morning." Martin joked poking my side. We walked into a classroom and we all took seats that were close to one another. "Morning, class." The teacher said walking into the classroom with Shin, Hiro, and Clinton behind her. "Oh and class we have a new student joining us, everyone say hi to Tai Garrett." she said pointing to me. I waved my hand slightly. As the teacher was writing on the chalkboard I could hear some of the boys in the back of the class snickering. I even heard 'he looks just like a chick' from one of them. Anyone else would have turned around and flip them off, but I wasn't like that.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The class was finally over but now it was time for something even worse. "Yay P.E! My favorite." Martin said running into the gym.

Oh shit this is bad!

"There are bathrooms in the locker room, right? I asked looking around the gym. "Yeah." Matt answered walking into the locker room. It smelled just like…like…a guy. They all started walking towards the back of the room. I tried my best not to look around or breathe in. "Here Tai this is what you wear for P.E." Clinton said running up to. I looked at the clothes. They were black shorts that go down to the knees and a white shirt with the school logo on them. "Thank Clinton." I said swinging them over my shoulder. "You asked were the bathroom was Tai? It's over there." Matt said pointing to a door. "Thanks." I said as I made my way to the bathroom. I went into a stall and started changing. I walked out and looked at myself in the mirror. The shorts didn't show off my legs so much so I looked normal and everything else was fine. I walked back into the locker room shut my eyes for a minute. "Tai are you ok?" Shin asked tapping on my shoulder and turning me around. "I'm fine, just something in my eye that's all." I said trying not to blush. "Ok, whatever you say." he said walking back over to the guys.

Why must this happen to me!

They were all shirtless and damn they all looked good. Shin had really good muscled arms, Clinton had really nice abs, Hiro had good looking legs, Matt was, unspeakably, good everything, and I already described Chod. Any other girl would have fainted or started asking them to go out on a date with her or flirting their heads off. But I wasn't any other girl I have to pretend you're not good looking. And it's hard! "We better start going into the gym before Mr. Monges throws a tantrum about us been late." Shin said walking out of the locker area. Everyone else started going to. "Come on Tai." Martin said grabbing my arm. I had barely noticed he was there. We entered the gym and lined up.

I'm so short! I feel like a midget!

It was true I was almost a foot shorter then every one else. And I thought being 5' 8 was considered tall. "OK LADIES LISTEN UP!" A man with two dodge balls said as he walked in front of us. "Today we're going to have a dodge ball tournament. The captains are Matt and Steven, chose your players smartly." he said throwing the balls at them as they stepped forward. "I call Shin, Clinton, Hiro, Martin, Chod, and Tai. You can have the rest since they're your guys." Matt said walking over to the side of the court. "Fine by me." Steven said looking at me. I turned away and started walking with everyone else. "Ok guys they don't really play fair and they looked like they chose their first victim." Matt said looking at me. Everyone else was looking at me too. "Tai be really careful out there ok." Matt said walking to the middle of the court. "Ready to lose?" Steven called out. "The better question is are you ready to get your ass whooped?" Martin said with an angered tone. "Ready set go!" Mr. Monges shouted. Everyone went for a ball. And so did I. They were all gone before I could get one so I backed up. It was hard to dodge a million balls at once since they were all throwing them at me.

Why am I the one they want to hit first I suck at dodge ball!

Right before a ball hit me Martin hit it away with the one he was holding then threw it at the guy and hit him. "Thanks Martin, I would have gotten hit if you didn't block me." I said moving away fast because they were still trying to hit me. "They wont you out cause you're new and who knows what else." Martin said still trying to hit one of them. "Tai over here!" Clinton shouted to me. I looked back at Martin then ran over to Clinton. "Try catching a ball we can get them out faster that way." he said giving me a ball. I looked at it then at the other team. One of them wasn't looking so I threw the ball as fast as I could at him and hit him in the arm. He looked at me then went to sit out of the game. I looked around and saw Steven aiming straight for me. "Tai watch it!" Matt yelled at me. The ball was coming really fast and I had hardly anytime to react so I closed my eyes and waited for the impact of the ball. I heard the ball bounce off another one. I opened my eyes and saw chod right in front of me. "You have to be way more careful." He said walking away from me. I kept my attention on the last remaining players on the other team. I looked around and notice it was just me and chod left. "Come on Tai catch the ball!" Hiro called from the other side of the court.

He's right I have to catch the ball or we'll lose the game.

I kept my eyes on the ball and saw my chance. I ran for it and caught it. "Matt!" I yelled passing the ball to him as he came back in. I was about to catch other ball when another ball hit me in the chest knocking all the air out of me and making me hit the ground hard. "Tai are you ok?" everyone said rushing over to me. "Owww it really hurts." I said, trying to move but couldn't. "I'll take him to the doctor." Chod said picking me up and walking toward the door. I looked back just in time to see Martin throw a ball at Steven and hit him hard in the back. "Martin doesn't tolerate with people that do that sort of stuff. He seems to like you a lot to hit someone with a ball at his throwing speed,that had to hurt." Chod said opening a door and putting me on the couch.
