A/N: Thank you for the reviews from KNDfangirl and Twister468. Heads up that this may be one of the last chapters for 2 months. I'm going on a mission internship in Costa Rica so I won't be able to update after a while.

Hoagie: Costa Rica? Like where the beaches and hot girls are?

Abby: **smack Hoagie with hat**

Me: No, I mean Costa Rica where the poor people are cramped in one corner of the country and a bunch of people don't know Christ.

Wally: And hotels, and waves, and—

Kuki: Have fun!

Me: I will. Thanks guys.

Gym

Gym… one of the best parts of the day. Every other teenager Kuki knew disliked the class with a passion, but surprisingly she enjoyed it. Running made her feel good, hitting something with a bat or racket came naturally, and when the coach had borrowed an archery set from one of his old friends, Kuki could shoot without a problem.

Unlike most high schools across the state, Gym was a required time for all grades. You couldn't botch your way through a credit and be done.

After an eventful and emotion-jerking morning, Kuki was ready to take her frustrations out. First a warm up lap and stretches to get loose. She looked around and saw her friends from cheerleading, her boyfriend and other jocks, Abby Lincoln, and the boy she met earlier, Wally Beatles running with a geeky looking friend.

Wally turned and caught Kuki's eye, but she quickly turned away and focused on the path in front of her. Finally the coach blew his whistle, calling for all the seniors to come back. Each sat down, gasping for air, eyes locked on Coach Grant.

"Alright listen up! We are going to get you babies back into shape! By the end of your last year, you all will be fit, trim and I won't be hearing whimpers and gasps! Welcome to your final year seniors, I'm not going to let you out easily."

Kuki exchanged glances with a friend of hers and then looked back at Coach.

"This year we are going to do something a little different. I want some competition in this class, and that is what I'm going to get. This semester there are 52 of you, not too many. So we are going to have 13 groups of 4. Lucky for you I've already picked out your groups and have them on this clipboard here. Come up when I call your name and then sit somewhere in a group. Jenkins, you're captain. You have Thomas, McKenzie, and Cook. Ace, you're captain with Balooka, Schmit, and Arnold, no funny business boys."

Ace smirked and his friends started chuckling in that dark way. Kuki rolled her eyes, knowing her boyfriend's teammates from football. They were annoying.

"Lincoln! You'll be captain with Gilligan, Beatles and… Sanban!" Kuki looked up. What?

"Alright Coach," Abby said from under her hat. Kuki looked back at Abby with a frown. No, why couldn't he put me with someone I know? Kuki suddenly felt awkward and folded her knees up to her chin as the coach called the rest of the teams.

"I want team names in 15 minutes, starting… now!"

Abby, Kuki, Wally, and Hoagie all got up and went to a far back corner. Abby was the first to make introductions. "Hey, the name's Abby. What's yours?"

"Wally."

"Uh… heh heh… um Hoagie?"

"I'm Kuki."

"Cool, well Abby says we get started. What would ya'll like the team to be called?"

The other three muttered nervously, avoiding eye contact. Abby rolled her eyes. "Okay, well how about the name be just a letter?"

"A letter?" Wally asked skeptically.

"Yeah, like V."

"Why V?" asked Hoagie.

"Well… it isn't used a lot and it can stand for victory."

"You expect us to win?" asked Hoagie. Abby took off her hat and smacked him on the arm. "Ow!"

"Well duh, what would be the fun in doing this if we don't try and win?"

Kuki sighed. "Alright, V it is."

That was when Coach came by with his infamous clipboard. "So Lincoln, what's the team name?"

"Um we are Sec—I mean Team V."

"V?"

"Yeah, it stands for victory."

"Uh-huh. Alright Team V give me two laps and you all can get changed with the rest."

Abby nodded and took off, her "team" following her. When she came out of the locker room, Rachel McKenzie was leaning on the wall, waiting for her.

"What do you want?" asked Abby.

"Team V huh?"

"Yeah, so?"

"So… you're cutting it extremely close Abby. Stop while you're ahead."

"Why?"

"Do you expect them to be friends with you? It was a long time ago—"

"Like Abby really cares? Mind your own business."

"I'm saying this because I care Abby, stop while you're ahead. I'll see ya later."

"Yeah, later," Abby said bitterly and continued walking away from Rachel.

Abby: Yeah! We're getting the band back together, baby!

Hoagie: Gym? You couldn't have picked something a little less—

Wally: Quiet. Gym is cool!

Kuki: Why did I feel so awkward. Don't I realize I'm on a team with my friends?

Me: This is in the future Kuki. You were decommissioned and don't know your old friends.

Kuki: Oh. That doesn't sound fun.

Me: **sigh** It's not. I'll see you guys later. And you all too, readers!
