Maria's POV
I walked into the gym with Candice and Mickie. Coach Trish blew her whistle.
"Come on girls!" All the girl sat on the bleachers in front of her. "We need a team captain. Anyone?" Candice hit my leg. I put my hand up. A few seconds passed and then Melina put her hand up. I looked over at her and she glared at me.
"Okay now what?" Mickie tried to see without the coach seeing.
"Alright! If you want Melina raise your hand!" Noone raised their hands. "Maria!" Gail, Candice, Mickie, Eve, Brie, Nikki, Ashley,
Michelle, Layla, AJ, Kaitlyn, Alicia, Maryse, Rosa, Natalya, Beth, Kelly, and Stacy raised their hands. Yeah, the whole team. Melina looked like she was about to scream. Coach Trish smiled." Team captain is Maria." She wrote something down onto her clipboard.
"Now, we all knew who captain was gonna be." Candice whispered to me, acting like she was fixing her hair. I smiled to her.
All the girls got up and we started the game. Of course Melina was on the other team. The way she looked at me, I could tell she was up to no good. We started the game and I had the ball. I ran and went to shoot, and I tripped and slammed onto the ground.
All the girls but Melina ran over to me. Melina stood there, and Coach Trish ran over.
"Girls give her some room. Maria what happened?"Everyone looked to Melina. I looked at Melina.
"That bitch tripped me!"
"It's okay Maria, watch the language though."
"I'm sorry. She tripped me though!"
"Well are you hurt?" She asked as I held on to my foot.
"Yes! My foot like gave out when I fell."
"Girls, could one of you help her to the nurse?" Beth and Candice picked me up by my arms, and helped me to the nurse. Mickie followed us there.
"Maria! How did she trip you?"
"I don't know! She just like moved her leg when I was running."
"I swear I am going to kill her." Mickie was clunching her fists. Jeff walked past us, and stared at me. They brought me into the nurse's office, and sat me on one of the beds. Beth, Candice, and Mickie sat next to me. Beth put her hand on my knee, on my good leg.
"You're going to be fine Maria. You may have just pulled a muscle."
"I hope. Thanks Beth." Beth seemed like she would be really mean, but honestly, she was a sweetheart. Everyone loved her except Melina that is. The nurse checked my leg, and ran a test on it.
"Well all you did was pull a muscle in your foot. You should wear this for the next few days, it's a pretty bad pull." She gave me a cast,
that was black, and it was like a shoe.
"Okay, thanks." I took off my basketball shoe on my right foot, and put the cast on. I walked out of the room with Beth, Candice, and Mickie.
"You feel okay Ria?" Mickie looked down at the cast, shoe thing on my foot.
"Yeah I'm fine. I'm just glad I'm able to walk." The nurse came running up to us.
"Maria. Wear that for the next week, just to be safe."
"Okay." We turned back around and walked back to the gym. Coach Trish ran up to us.
"So how is it?"
"I just pulled a muscle really bad in my foot, so I have to wear this for the next week."
"Good, so hopefully you'll be back on the court next week."
"I will."
"But for practice, you can just sit on the bleachers. If you want. If you want to makes plans, with other friends you can."
"Okay. Thanks coach Trish."
"You want to go somewhere for the rest of practice?"
"Yeah, I'm gonna go see my friend."
"Okay be careful." Trish smiled. I walked out of the gym, and over to the boys dorm. I walked in the building and walked down Mike's hall.
Again, stares. Evan Bourne walked up to me and looked at my foot.
"Maria? What happened?"
"Basketball."
"How?"
"Melina tripped me, and my foot gave out, and pulled a muscle."
"Oh I'm sorry. I hope you get better."
"Yeah, one week. And thanks. I have to go now." I walked away from Evan, he was always such a sweet guy, and a good friend. I walked up to Mike's room, and went to reach for the handle. A hand grabbed my arm and stopped me. I turned around to Jeff.
"What do you want? I've had enough of you! You're stupid girlfriend hurt me, and you hurt Mike!"
"I don't have a girlfriend. Who did this to you?"
"You're stupid Melina, now get away from me." I slapped him across the face, and knocked on Mike's door. I walked in before Jeff could bother me again. I walked in to Mike changing his shirt. He looked down to my foot.
"What happened!" With no shirt on, he sat me on his bed.
"Basketball! Melina tripped me, and my foot gave out, and the way I fell, I pulled a muscle."
"Why would she do that?"
"I don't know. I just wish it didn't happen."
"I'm really sorry."
"Well I guess your ankle's feeling better?"
"Yeah. I did lay in the hall for a few hours too, so I'm good." I laughed. He sat down next to me, still shirtless.
"Are you ever gonna put a shirt on?"
"Don't act like you don't like it." He laughed while shifting his eyes to my lips.
"Someone wants a kiss, clearly."
"Says who?"
"Your eyes."
"Well, god, I can want, can't I?"
"Why want, when you can get?" I smiled and leaned in to kiss him. He kissed back passionatly. This kiss just kept going. The song, 'Lips of an Angel' ran through my head, I don't know why, but it did. Mike layed me down, without pulling away from my lips. He continued to kiss me, and I continued to kiss back. It had already been about 5 minutes. He pulled away, and I took a breath.
"You still up for that date tomorrow?" Mike said about two inches away from my face, looking in my eyes.
"Yes, yes I am." I smiled. I had a good feeling about this date tomorrow. I hung out with Mike the rest of the night, until about 10:30.
I had to sneak back to my dorm, without Mr. Jericho seeing me.
"Bye Mike." I kissed his soft lips quickly, and quickly left. I snuck into my dorm, and walked fastly down three halls, to get to my room. I walked into the room, Candice was asleep, and Mickie was on her laptop.
"Where have you been?"
"Mike's."
"You're lucky that noone saw you!"
"I know. That was my goal, was for noone to see me." I laughed a little, and then threw on a pair of shorts, and a tank top.
"You going to bed?"
"Yeah, I'm really tired."
"Okay, goodnight Ria." She smiled.
"Goodnight Mickz." I smiled back, and layed back to fall asleep.
