"Can you tell me what's happening here?" I question Dee Dee as I'm turning to her. I huff to myself and bite my cheek. Currently we're standing in the gymnasium which is quite busy today.
I'm out for one day and I miss so much..
She has a blank look on her face. She was silent for a moment until she opened her mouth to speak
"Yeah, the other day when you we're gone..the teachers picked teams for the volleyball tournament"
"Oh.."
"I have good news and bad news...do you want me to share the good news first?" I nod my head.
"We're on the same team"
I cheered for a moment and fist bumped her.
"The bad news is...
"...we're on Randy's team"
I groan and start crying internally.
"What's wrong?" She asks being concerned "Are you that upset?"
"N-no" I lie. She starts to laugh at me. Dee Dee swings an arm behind me.
"Naaaate no need to worry. WE got each other's back right?" She tried to comfort me. I appreciate the effort, but I can't help but feel like a wreck already.
"If he tries to beat you senseless, then Mama Dee Dee will come out and beat some sense into him" She winks at me. I can't help but blush a bit. She always defends me no matter how awkward I am.
"What did I do to deserve you?" She smiles at me.
"Look at you acting all coy and shit" She spouts. "Nate I swear you're like a puppy"
Whaaaaat?
"But you're also kind of a kitten" She stops. "You can be a puppycat" She jokes even more. I punch her lightly in the shoulder and she snorts.
"LISTEN UP YA FOOLS!" A megaphone blasts our gym teacher's booming voice. Our teacher Mr. Mycroft continues to holler at us. He's even more psychotic than Coach John.
He's a real mean machine. For a middle aged man he has so much energy. Worst of all, anger him and he will make you suffer in silence.
He will make you PAY for so many things. One time Dee Dee and Jenny made him so angry just by talking, that he made them run 20 laps around the track.
Spoiler Alert: Both of them passed out. He told them to brush it off, like it was nothing.
I still shiver to this day.
"THE COWARDS THAT WEREN'T HERE THE OTHER DAY, GET OVER HERE TO ME. THE REST OF YOU START PLAYING!" He blew his whistle really loud. I covered my ears and winced in pain.
"Ehh..you're sort of screwed Nate" Dee Dee mutters silently.
"Ya think?" I remark. I walk awkwardly towards my gym teacher. He glares at me like he wants to murder me.
"U-um" I attempt to muster out. I turn my head to avoid his killer look ,but it still pierces through.
"Don't try me Wright" he grits his teeth. Some of his spit flies on me.
Ew.
He continues to stand there with a clipboard writing probably negative things about me. He's muttering about something-probably also about me.
"Oh-I forgot you were there for a moment" I was silent the whole time. He was talking to himself before-he's a nutcase!
"You're on Betancourt's team" I forgot what I was standing there for a moment. He turns his eyes over ,and realized I'm still standing by him.
"MOVE!" He blew his whistle right next to my ears.
I couldn't. Suddenly, my body was frozen. It was like I was stuck in molasses. I tried not to freak out like I usually do at home.
Why is it happening right here, right now?
Not now p-please...
"What's the matter with you?" he snarled. Some more spit flies onto me. I'm so desperate to run away, but I can't move my body.
W-what d-do I do?
My legs start to stray a bit. My right one-which is my better one-is shaking like jelly. The other one is just bouncing uncontrollably.
"What's up with your legs?"
Just as my legs stop tensing up I go back to Dee Dee. I ask her to cover me while I...go do some business.
"He'll get angry"
"Please Dee?" I put on my "Puppy Face" to get her to cover for me.
"Fine, you know you're the only person I can't resist"
I know that. I giggle to myself
Hee Hee
"If Randy questions why you're not here...I'll make up an excuse" She moves her hands exasperatedly. She hands me my bag, and I sling it over my shoulder.
"Thank youuuu" She shoos me away as I quietly run out of the gigantic stinkhole that this gym is.
As soon as I'm out the door I'm greeted by something unfortunate. I slump to the floor.
"U-uf" I moan a bit. I get up and limp over to the nearest bathroom.
I sneak into it and check all the stalls. They're all empty...good. I drop my bag on the floor ,and slip my head out the door to see if anyone is going to come in.
No one is out there.
"Perfect" I mutter to myself.
Now it's time to get...serious.
I zip my bag open and pop a few pills in my mouth with some water in my bag. I slide down a stall and sigh a bit.
No one can know
No one can know
...
No one can know
That's all I'm hoping for..
Hey people of the universe!
Here's another chapter that is also short ,but here it is anyway.
I'm also sick as fuck.
Umm yeah I didn't forget about the long chapter I promised ,but don't worry it's coming!
Ciao
