Chapter 27
Ari P.O.V
We had saved the P.E department for last, with good reason, some of the boys, including Mark, Cari and I, had a rugby game scheduled for after lunch, and the Professor and the others from his school seemed to be interested in seeing the game. At lunch, the Professor, Logan and Miss Monroe sat at the teachers table. Rogue, Bobby, Pyro (as he told us to call him) and Kitty, sat with us. We introduced them to several people we knew who were tidy, but that wasn't many. I saw a few girls in our year that looked as if something disgusting walked into their line of site when we walked in.
Near the end of lunch, Mark, Cari and I excused ourselves, and went to the girls changing rooms to get changed. I quickly pulled on my shorts and red rugby jersey, and my black knee high socks and togs. I pulled my hair up into a pony tail, when Faith came in with Kitty, Rogue and Miss Monroe, to show them around.
"Where are the other girls?" Kitty asked, looking confused.
"Oh, did we forget to tell you?" Cari asked. "We're playing with the boys."
"Is it girls against guys?" Kitty asked.
"No, its me and Cari and some others, against Marks team." I said.
"Just trust me, this will work out." Cari assured them. "Now, are you going to see the gym and sports hall before the game?"
Ten minutes later, we were all on the pitch, doing warm up exercises. When Mr. Morgan blew the whistle, we got into positions on the field. A scrum was formed, with me at the back, waiting to get the ball. The ball was placed in the centre of the scrum, the whistle was blown again, and the game began.
Half a minute later, I was passed the ball, and I took off down the field. I dodged those who got in my way with a well practised ease. Marks team mates were predictable. I saw Mark running at me, and I tossed the ball to my nearest team mate, Jo. Jo passed it to Matt,, who tossed it to Lewis, who passed it to Ianto, who tossed it to Cari. Cari sped up then, and I matched her pace easily, but kept a little bit behind her, so I was diagonally to her right. Just as Dai was about to tackle her, she threw the ball to me. I caught it, just as Dai made contact with her, and brought them both crashing to the wet, muddy ground. I ran the last little bit to the line, and hurtled over it, bringing the ball down to touch the ground, scoring a try. I tossed the ball to Sion, who was taking the conversion for our team. As Sion kicked the ball, I watched as the ball flew through the posts.
The game started to pick up it's pace, and Mark's team didn't make it easy for us to score, just as we didn't make it easy for them. I had been tackled, and did my own share of tackling others throughout the game. I was quite filthy by the end of it, but yet again, Rugby's never a game where you stay clean. If you don't get muddy, then you haven't been playing rugby.
As we all started walking to the edge of the pitch, I stretched clicking my spine. "Are you boys sure you don't want to go for another round?" I asked.
"Yes!" The boys cried.
I looked at Cari. "And I thought they were fit!" I huffed.
"We are fit! We just cant keep up with ferals!" Dai exclaimed.
"You're just sore 'cause you were beaten by a team with a couple of girls on it!" Cari snorted.
"Am not!" Dai shot
"Are too!" She shot back.
This continued until we reached the spectators, which included the visitors from America, Mrs Roberts, Mr. Morgan, Faith, Paddy and several students, allot of which I noticed were mutants from younger years, which led me to suspect they weren't here to watch the game.
"Good game you lot. Now, go take a shower, and get changed." Mr. Morgan said.
We all agreed and headed off to the changing rooms. I stepped into of the shower cubicles, undressed, and threw my clothes and towel over the other side of the curtain.
I took a quick shower, getting all the dirt and sweat off me, and turned the shower off. I reached round the curtain, and grabbed my towel. I dried myself off and grabbed my underwear, before slipping into them. I wrapped the towel around me, and stepped out of the shower. For the moment, I left my kit where it was, and I padded over to my school clothes, I turned my back to Cari, and dressed.
We both gathered our things together, and left the changing rooms, where Mark was waiting for us.
"What's up?" Cari asked.
"Meeting in the committee room." Mark answered. We both nodded, and headed off for the committee room, where all the mutants in the school, a few teachers, and the visitors from America were gathered.
