This prompt was given to me by superkim111: Jade. Basketball.

Jade was panting softly, rec time was almost done but her stress was still there, gnawing at her insides. That damn flower, she could smell the truth in her. 'Monster. Monster! MONSTER!'

She threw the basketball with anger, pretending it was the idea shouting in her brain. The ball just bounced off the backboard and she caught it o the rebound. She sighed and tucked her hair behind both ears. She squeezed her eyes shut tightly, trying to remember her Papa's words. 'Buddha made you out of jade because you are so beautiful even your skin must reflect it.' Yes, that was the thought. She just had to concentrate harder, making the basket. She could be strong, that much she knew.
