"Ahh hell yeah gym class can't get enough of this.", Silva declared to absolutely no one but himself and standing on top of table.
"Bro shut the fuck up and get changed.", Elliott cackled at his buddy and knocked him off the table. Then ran off the to the boy's locker room.
"Oh, that is it amigo I gonna get you for that one. It is doge ball day.", Octavio slapped his buddy on the back.
"Oh, we will see about that. I am team captain this go around. So, I know who I am going to pick.", Elliott thought of his current roommate Renee. Her reaction speed has always been the sharpest in their clique.
"Oh, you are on compadre. Me and my squad will smoke you.", Octane shot back while putting on his gym gear.
Octane also took notice of the fact that Elliott looked buffer than he did last semester.
"Damn Witt have you been hitting the gym cause you got beefier.", Octavio complimented his best friend.
"Oh yeah I got Gibby to help me out. He taught me some great techniques. I am sitting at nice round two hundred on bench.", Elliott stated with a proud and rubbed the back of his neck.
After a moment of silence Elliott asked this, "Who are you going to ask to the dance? Will it be Nat or Ajay?"
"That is none of your business amigo!", Octavio shouted with a flustered expression.
Elliott simply just cackled at his friends embarrassed expression and ran after him.
And when they reached the class the bell immediately went off and class was in motion.
Witt is coming up behind you to "scare you".
"Of course he is.", Renee rolls her eyes.
"Boo I got you.", Elliott shouted while grabbing her shoulders to scare her. After she turned around, he saw the same stoic face she always wears.
"Damn I can't ever get you huh. Always stone cold.", Elliott teased her.
Meanwhile in Renee's mind she is having a mental battle with her voices.
"Oh, my dear god when did my dork become a stud?", Renee asked herself rhetorically.
Probably when he was hanging out with Gibby. And hey do you seem them abs. Them shits are scrumptious.
"Scrumptious indeed and he's got a nice muscular ass well. Thank god he is a total goofball or he would have all the girls. Pretty face with a very talkative personality.", Renee deduced with the same placid face she normally wears.
He still has two girls folding over backward for him look at your six o'clock.
After turning around she saw Ramya eyeing him up as well.
"Oh I hope that bitch is on the other team.", Renee shouted in her mind.
You go get her girl.
(Author: I want to know what y'all think of this. Traditionally it is the guy who the pervert/comedic relief. What if I made the stone cold Renee fill that role. I think that would be hilarious.)
"Hello class my name is Coach Williams and some of you may have discussed today's sport which is dodgeball. And our two team captains are Silva and Witt. Silva, you choose first. My one rule is no cock shots or face shots.", Coach Williams introduced himself making most of the boys laugh at his bluntness.
Octavio took a scan of room and then looked at Witt and caught onto his plan.
"Heh... I will take Renee.", Octavio shocked his friend who was originally going to pick her.
"Well, this sucks.", Renee thought to herself and walked over to Octavio's side.
Well, no shit it sucks. Let's try not to hurt love boy too much. I know how we are with competition.
Elliott now realizing there is not many options to choose from and went with Ramya.
"I will take Ramya.", Elliott said leaving a scowl on Renee's face.
Ramya then stuck her tongue out at Renee leaving the girl to give her a glare.
"I don't get what they see in that clown.", Anita mumbled to herself and rolled her eyes.
The two boys finally finished building their teams and had a team huddle with each of their squads.
"Alright guys we can do this even though playing against Renee and Octavio will be a pain in the ass. However, I have a plan. To take out Octavio it will require two people. They don't call him the speed king for nothing. So when I give you the ok symbol Ramya you and I will strike at the speed freak at the same time. For Renee me or Anita will come up with something.", Elliott addressed his team earning a collective acknowledging grunt from all of them.
Meanwhile Octavio gave a heartfelt speech... said absolutely no one ever. Octavio stated this, "Already Compadres leave me and Renee to take out Witt and his team. You lot play support and take out the cannon fodder."
This was met with outrage and small snicker for Renee.
"Alrighty everyone meetings are done go to the half line and form in a line.", Coach Williams shouted at the group.
There were five players on each team and six balls in the middle of the fifty-yard line. Each student was in a running position and poised to take the balls.
"3...2...1...Play ball.", Coach Williams declared with a fweet of his whistle.
Elliott grabbed a ball and ran backwards towards the back the gymnasium.
Octane and Ramya had done the same thing.
Renee however went for a shot immediately and barley missed Anita who deflected the ball with her own ball. After missing Renee backed up and kept her eyes on the young ROTC captain.
"This is going to be harder than I thought. Good.", Renee thought to herself competitively with a smile on her face.
Octavio then threw his ball into one of Elliott's "cannon fodder" teammate's stomach making the boy wheeze as the oxygen was knocked out his lungs.
"Shit... this is bad I need to even this out. Perfect.", Elliott thought to himself satisfied when he found an easy target. A poor boy with his back turned.
Elliott had planted his right foot into the ground and threw the ball with all he got into the kid.
The other student made a yelping noise as he turned around to only see a ball flying into his back.
*Fweet*
"That is two out. Please step out of the ring.", Coach Williams ordered the two of them who then took a seat on the sidelines.
Octavio's team had two balls in Renee's hands.
Meanwhile Witt's team had the other four one in each members hands.
Witt gave a glance to Ramya who picked up on the message. It was time to take Octavio out.
Witt then made a break for the fifty-yard line and threw his ball at Silva who dodged it. As Silva tried to receive it Ramya threw hers at the young man.
Silva realizing his mistake braced for impact except nothing happened. Renee managed to block the blow by throwing a ball to intercept Ramya's.
As soon Silva was about to say thank you, he was immediately pegged in chest by Anita.
"Well, uh good look chica.", Octavio said to Renee.
Renee just nodded to him as he walked off the court.
It was just Renee and two more teammates. She could do this.
One of Renee's teammates a big beefy guy took one of the balls and smashed it into the face of the last of Elliott's canon fodder.
*Fweet*
"That is a double disqualification. Like I said before I only had one rule and you broke it.", Coach Williams ordered the student.
"Actually, it was two, sir.", the beefy student corrected with a shit eating smirk.
"Congratulations dipshit you get to do burpees till you drop now get going.", Coach Williams scolded sending him away.
Renee gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. She can do this. She still has a teammate left.
Then there was a loud bounce noise that came from behind Renee. The fatter girl just not nailed in the gut by Ramya.
"Well shit.", Renee muttered and grabbed the ball that bounced off the girl.
Elliott overheard this and started to gloat, "Oh no... is the great Renee about to lose?"
Elliott had that smirk that she absolutely loathed. The one that he uses to gaslight his opponent to be angry and spiteful. For most people this would work. But sadly, for Witt Renee is built 'different' as Octavio would say.
Instead of a look of anger she flashed Witt a smirk and a wink. Elliott within this moment had his 'mojo' thrown off and was distracted.
"Did she just wink at me?", Elliott thought to himself trying to wrap his head around the fact that she just winked at him.
Renee took this moment to throw a ball directly at his stomach.
Anita tried to push him out of the way only to get herself hit.
"Nice going Witt. Pay better attention dumbass.", Anita chided the young man.
Elliott was about to say something but decided against it. Not willing to piss her off anymore than he already has. And with a defeated look he gave her a nod.
And almost a second his mood changed back to his competitive look. With that almost signature like smile on his face. He had a plan.
"I won't be able to hit her. But maybe I can catch the ball and get her out that way.", Elliott thought to himself and watched Renee's movements.
"Knowing Eli he probably has a plan along the lines of catching the ball. I probably can fake him out.", Renee thought to herself.
Or you can force his hand and go for Ramya.
Renee wasn't opposed to this plan either way she was going to get one of them out. Might as well be her.
Renee got into her throwing stance and using every ounce of strength that her little frame can produce and threw the ball towards Ramya's gut.
"Shit I am going to have to dive for it if I want to catch it.", Elliott told himself under his breath and sprinted towards Ramya's side.
Elliott then went for the dive. And then realized he had made a terrible mistake. He jumped to early. But just in time for him to get hit in his mini me.
His face said it all. His normally jubilant smile was displaying a look that was nothing more than mortifying. His hands now glued to his crotch grasping them in pain and desperately making sure the baby maker was intact He had shed a single tear and had one single thought, "There goes Elliott Jr., you served me well."
Renee's face was of astonishment, "This was not the plan."
I hope you are cool with not having kids.
"You aren't helping either.", Renee scolded the voice in her head.
*Fweet*
"That is another double disqualification. The winner is team Witt.", Coach Williams announced only to be overshadowed by Elliott's act of pure pain.
"Alright Renee since you did this to him, please bring his to Mrs. Che's office so he can get his member checked out.", Coach Williams told Renee with a look of disappointment.
When Elliott was moved out the room Octane said this to Anita, "More like dodge balls am I right Anita?"
Anita just smiled at his stupidity.
Ramya was nice enough to record the whole event and put in their group chat. Which Tae Joon immediately posted it to twitter and his my space page. (To those who don't what my space is. It is a piece of social media where failing musicians go to).
*Mrs. Che's office*
"Ah shit. Am I good?", Elliott asked the nurse while holding a ice pack on his crotch.
"Yeah... whoever hit you though has a meant arm though.", Mrs. Che answered after doing her examination.
Elliott pointed at Renee and sneered, "Well that is midget who packs a mean punch."
Renee playfully elbowed him and waited for the nurse to leave the room before she apologized.
"Eli I am sorry for uh hitting your special area.", Renee stumbling on her own apologize only making the boy feel more relaxed.
"Eh... don't worry about it. I have been kicked in the balls plenty of times by Elon.", Elliott waved off and chuckled at her awkwardly like behavior. The two smiled and looked at each other for a moment. Until there was loud bang outside the door of the office.
The door swung open, and it was not the nurse who had opened it.
"Hello Witt, long time no see.", the mysterious figure stated.
The voice put visible fear and on Witt's face and pure anger on Blasey's.
(Author: I made lifelines mom the school nurse. It made the story flow better. However, she will still be abusive towards her. In which her and Octavio will bond over that experience.)
