"Hey sis! Lucy told me you helped her clean up my sweat and shiz so uh thanks!"
Lynn put on the best natural face she could muster, her legs ached to no end and her arms were numb, but she made it through anyways.
"Oh yeah bro! You were on the floor sleeping!"
Luna chuckled to herself at the thought of Lynn casually sleeping on the floor in the position she did.
"Well thanks! I'm going out, i gotta practice for my next game!"
Lynn left her sisters room tired yet determined to get better and end her team's losing streak. The girl stepped outside through the backdoor with her trusty bat and ball getting ready to practice her swing. The athlete tossed her ball up into the air and swung as accurately and hard as she could. Her arms began to move and as the bat made contact with the ball, a sudden pain pierced Lynn's right shoulder. The girl bit her lip and closed her eyes to get through the pain. It slowly faded and Lynn went to grab her ball. Thankfully the ball only landed in the front yard, the girl would've rathered that then getting her ball stuck in mr grouse's yard. Anywho the rest of the day passed with Lynn jr practicing her swing and throw until her mother, Lynn sr. called everyone to dinner.
*Wednesday, four days after the previous lost game*
Everything was numb yet burning at the same time, Lynn had been pulling off the same workout for four days now and had too much pride to stop or give in to her sisters concerns, sure they were worried but, Lynn knew it would all pay off once her team was brought to victory. She woke up with a slow focusing vision instinctively sitting up in her bed, as soon as she swung her legs around to touch the floor, she could feel a sharp pain run through both her feet and legs.
Lynn is known for her stubborn nature and temper that seems to run in the family, she's gotten every sports injury in the book and shes only 13! If her legs are hurting it's not stopping this girl from getting ready for her game in two days.
Lynn took hold of the her bed supports and slowly pulled herself to her feet using solely her upper body as to not put pressure on her pained limbs. The reckless girl quickly lowered her arms to her sides and tried her hand at getting out of her room, it was a school day after all. The girl began planting her feet one after the other but after that first step she felt a jolt of pain that startled her more than anything but that spook was what made the girl fall head first into her bedroom door. Lynn gripped her doorknob but as the old house is known for, the knob broke off as many of the doorknobs do In the loud house. This caused the door to swing open allowing the girl to fall further but as she made contact with the ground she fell into a push up position breaking her fall but definitely hurting her shoulders and upper arms.
Lynn opted to walk or more like run to school, no one knows how she does it but she somehow can just get it together...physically. The girl just could not keep her eyes open as her teacher spoke, the words went in one ear and out the other; but somehow she was able to play soccer In gym and still lead her team to victory, guess her hard work was paying off after all. After the final bell sounded, a tired Lynn loud begrudgingly relented to taking the bus home, sure she didn't know her limits but she knew it meant something if she was worried that she wouldn't make it home. The ride home was peaceful and uneventful, none of the girls friends were on the bus anyways.
"Maybe if I sleep, the paim will go away.." The athlete thought to herself. The bus made a few stops prompting Lynn's train of thought to bounce around.
"...but If I sleep I won't get stronger."
Several more students got off the bus leaving some jocks in the back and herself. The sound of these boys practically yelling over each other was enough to get the girls attention.
"Yeah they got destroyed bro! And here I thought our school team was actually good. And get this.. they lost to the beavers!"
"Really?" The second boy chimed "Man and i was thinking about joining next falls tryouts."
A third boy perked up and joined in on the conversation
"Don't bother unless you think you can make them competent."
Lynn knew exactly what those boys were talking about and it made her blood boil, it was her latest game and not only that, it was her team's losing streak. The girl peeked over her seat ready to bash some skulls of if they insult her team again.
"What if we get our own team together to replace those losers!"
The three jocks carelessly joked about the squirrels baseball team before noticing a girl coming towards them. Lynn simply wanted them to stop talking about her team, she knew this wasn't their best season and it gets rubbed in their faces enough watching their wins go to other teams.
"Hey well what do you know it's the head loser now!"
The boys laughed and pointed at Lynn only egging her on. The girl wasn't sure what force kept her moving forward rather than falling into a tired mess but she took the chance anyways.
"Whats the issue with our team huh?! We already know we suck and don't need jerks like you rubbing it in!"
The athlete was not having it, any insult towards her team felt as personal as any insult towards her.
"Take a wild guess Sherlock." The jock joked
Lynn got in an arm's length from the boys and glared into the head honchos eyes.
"What is the issue with my team?" She asked coldly
"Oh I don't know mAybe the fact that you and your team of losers don't know how to play baseball."
The boy then laughed and high fives one of his lackeys. The second of the three boys got up from his seat and stood above Lynn laughing as he began to push her backwards.
"Get. The. Message. Loud." The jock laughed as he liked the girl in the sternum "you..suck!"
The three boys laughed wildly at the girl in front of them failing to notice her face becoming as red as her jacket. Lynn then raised her fists to the boy getting herself into a stance that'll balance her though it hurt to tighten her muscles, the girl endured it to wreck these jerks.
"Oh look guys she wants to fight!" The standing jock mocked. "Im terrifi-"
"SMACK"
Lynn's fist made direct contact with this boys face as the bus came to a halt.
"Loud, Lynn?" The buss driver called.
"We'll see who the loser is after this Friday.."
The girl then took her leave off the bus hoping they wouldn't follow her because truth be told her entire body ached but it's not like she's going to show those boys that. Anyways the girl stepped off the bus wiping the sweat from her forehead in relief that those jocks didn't follow her and made her way to the front stoop of her house.
