Lunch continued on normally, but after that, the four of them separated for their classes. May and Drew had history while April and Jun had chemistry.

History was surprisingly quite peaceful for class 105. Their teacher introduced himself and allowed them to talk quietly amongst themselves. May and Drew fell into light conversation once again.

This peace, however, was short lived. Everyone stopped what they were doing when an ear splitting explosion reached their ears. Their teacher rushed to the room where the explosion came from.

Curiosity, as we all know, is a part of human nature so it wasn't surprising to see that they all flocked at the door to see what caused the explosion. They were surprised to see the students from the chemistry lab 2 running out, coughing while black smoke followed from their classroom door. Among those students were April and Jun, both coughing like the rest. Their teacher was trying to fan the smoke away with her class record.

"What happened here?" asked Mr. Smith. Ms. Anderson ignored him and instead, turned to Jun.

"MR. KNIGHTLY! SEE ME AFTER CLASS!" she shrieked. And with that, she stomped away to the faculty lounge. April punched Jun's arm.

"What the hell Jun? How the hell can someone get detention on the first day?" she yelled.

Jun laughed sheepishly and then he shrugged. April glared at him and hit him again.

May wanted to ask them what happened but Mr. Smith ushered them back into the classroom.

Meanwhile, April and Jun returned t their classroom.

"I told you not to touch anything, but would you listen? NO!" muttered April under her breath. She plopped onto a seat in the corner and pouted. Jun laughed at her.

"And what, prey tell, happens to be so amusing?" asked April, glaring. Jun shook his head and continued chuckling to himself.

The image faded out and then faded in to show May running to catch up with April.

"You have gym next right?" asked May. April nodded.

"Let's walk together. So, what happened earlier?" asked May, her curiosity getting the best of her. April's sour mood from earlier returned.

The image fogged up and cleared to show class 102 in the science lab. April and Jun shared a table and Jun's hands were slowly reaching for a random chemical. April whacked it away.

"Don't touch anything!" she hissed. Jun nodded. When April turned away to look outside the window…

May giggled.

"How typical." she said with an eye roll. April nodded as she slipped into her gym clothes.

"Well, see ya later!" waved April as she ran to the other side of the gym. May waved and she ran to her class.

"Good afternoon class, my name is Mr. Jefferson," introduced a man in his mid-thirties.

'He seems nice…' they all thought.

"YOU! BACK IN LINE!" he yelled, pointing at someone who was a mere centimeter out of place.

"B-but…"

"NO BUTS! DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY! NOW! WE ARE BURNING DAYLIGHT!" he screamed and then he cleared his throat.

"As I was saying, I am Mr. Jefferson; I am a retired soldier from the military. Today class, you will be learning the basics of survival. We are going to have…" he paused for dramatic effect while everyone held their breath.

"DODGE BALL."

Jun turned to look at class 105. "Did he just say they were playing dodge ball?" he asked. April nodded but she grabbed his sleeve, making him face their teacher.

"Alright class, my name is Ms. Weatherbee today, I will divide you into four groups and you will all play basketball. Two groups for the boys and two for the girls." she said.

"COUNT OFF!" screamed Jefferson.

"KEEP YOUR VOICE ON YOUR SIDE OF THE COURT!" shrieked Ms. Weatherbee. Jefferson glared at her and she glared in return.

Jun gave a low whistle.

"Teacher rivalry?" asked May. Drew nodded.

The next thing they heard was two whistles blown loudly in sync.

April's eyes were darting back and forth from the basketball game to the dodge ball match as she sat on the bleachers. After a while, she focused on the dodge ball match. It was rather ludicrous. Drew was throwing the balls and he was hitting targets. May, who was on the other team, occasionally found something to trip on and every time she fell, the ball casually flies by, missing her. April laughed as May fell face flat for the fifteenth time.

"Careful!" hollered April. May turned for a split second to glare at her before she returned to dodging.

Amber glared at April from a few steps below. "Heed your own warning…" she muttered, discreetly spilling her water bottle on the steps.

April was absorbed in the dodge ball match.

"Yo Hayden! Heads up!" yelled Jun. April turned just in time to catch the ball. Drew heard his last name and reflexively turned. That simple gesture made the ball miss him by a mere millimeter, hitting his final teammate.

He turned to look at the opposite team and he smirked seeing May, the last one standing with a red dodge ball in her quivering hands. May audibly gulped as Drew gripped the ball with one hand, and flipped his hair in the other.

April was headed for the court and she didn't even notice the small puddle on the steps until it was too late. April slipped with a shriek, the basketball flying from her hands.

Drew threw the dodge ball and when he heard the shriek, he turned to look at class 102.

As soon as he saw April fall, he heard another shriek and again, he turned to the source just in time to see the basketball hit May's head, HARD. Instinctively, he ran over to her.

April was clutching her ankle in pain. "Careful…" mocked Amber as she passed by, suppressing her laughter. April hissed in anger and pain.

"Hey, you ok?" asked Jun, worry lacing his words.

"Hey May, are you alright?" asked Drew with concern shown in his emerald orbs. May blinked.

"Uh…I think so…" she answered.

"Ow!" she yelled, clutching her head as she tried to sit up.

"I'm fine," reassured April as she pushed herself off the floor, only to fall into Jun's arms right after.

The image faded out and in to show the school infirmary, fifteen minutes later.

May was lying down while April was sitting up, looking outside.

"What are you thinking about?" asked May. April shrugged.

"You're supposed to be resting until the pounding stops, remember? Or did you get amnesia as well?"

May laughed. "Remind me to hit you for that."

April faked a gasp. "So you are getting amnesia?" she asked in mock fret. May laughed even more.

"You know what April?" asked May wistfully.

"No, I don't know, kindly enlighten me May," answered April in a professional tone.

"Gym sucks."

April closed her eyes solemnly. "Amen to that my friend."

Meaning behind the chapter title:

Bellicose – warlike; aggressive

~The chapter is named as such because I see gym as a war zone…
