Chapter 4: School
The next day at school Link was heading to the gym. They were playing dodge ball that day. He was just hoping he could dodge Amber that day. He knew she was still made at him.
When he entered the gym he noticed that Tracy was there. He hadn't noticed her before, he wondered if she was in any of his other classes.
"Ok people, todays game is dodge ball." The gym teacher said. She went over the rules of play, which was really unnecessary as most of them had probably been playing dodge ball since first grade.
Link thought about going to talk to Amber but before he could the gym teacher started the game. It didn't take long before Amber took out her frustrations...on Tracy. She had hit her in the head with the ball and Tracy was out cold on the floor. Everyone gathered around. The gym teacher seemed to have disappeard and Amber and her friends ran off too, not wanting to get in trouble. Tracy's two friends and Link were the only ones left.
"I'll go get the nurse." Said her red headed friend.
Her other friend was Black, he went by the name of Seaweed. The Red Head told him to go get the gym teacher.
Link was the only one left. He stared down at the girl laying on the ground. He noticed that she was very pretty for being overweight. Her face looked so smooth, and her cheeks were a rosy pink.
"Your beautiful when your uncousious..." he stated as he looked at her.
He jumped up when he heard her friends coming back with the nurse and the gym teacher. He stood their nervously as they checked to see if she was alright. He hoped no one had heard what he said, or could tell how he was feeling. He especially hoped that no one knew how he was feeling, becase he didn't quite know himself. Did he really like Tracy? The nurse deemed Tracy alright, and when she woke up they helped her up. The nurse and gym teacher walked away the the three friends and Link started walking home. Before they parted ways Seaweed told the three about a party his family was having.
"Hey Trace, my mom's pitchin' a platter party down at our record shop off of fifth avenue. You, uh, wanna come check it out?
"May I also come Chek it out?" asked Tracy's red headed friend Penny.
"Oh you surely may." said Seaweed eyeing her.
"I've never been to north avenue" stated Tracy.
"You think it will be safe...for ya know...us?" asked Link, not really sure if he was invited or not.
"Yea, it's cool craker boy!"
"Imagine! Being invited places by colored people!" said Penny excitedly.
"It feels so hip! Joined Tracy.
"Well I'm glad you think so friends, cause uh not everyone does."
Tracy, Penny and Link agreed they would come to the party. Link decided that someone would have said something if he wasn't.
