POW!
The sound the hard dodgeball made as it struck me straight across the face. “That was uncalled for, Molly” I shouted out with the little breath I had left.
“OOPS” guess my aim is a little off today” Molly replied sarcastically as she giggled with her friends standing beside her.
I then walked to the bench as I caught my breath joining the other girls who were eliminated from the game. As I sat on the end of the bench with a group of Molly’s friends who were already sitting there, who then gave me a dirty look. I looked to my right to see Jen and Jalen, my friends from home sitting on the floor. This was weird as the bench was practically empty besides three of Molly's friends sitting there. With their perfectly brushed hair and crisply ironed gym clothes. Weird. I didn't think much of it still on the thought of how much of a Devil Molly was. It was like she was raised by ogres.
I began to watch the rest of the game, as I saw Molly’s friend Jenna still staring at me from the corner of my eye.
“UHH EMM”. Jenna chuckled as she continued looking at me. I then turned to my left, as Jenna said
“This bench is for white people only, go join your people on the floor”. I sat there in shock until I got up to sit beside Jen and Jalen on the cold cement floor.
I continued to sit there in silence until the game ended. Still thinking about how evil Molly; her friends were.
TWEET TWEET!
The sound that filled the room as Mrs.Clark blew her whistle to end the game.
“Pick up the balls and get changed for your next class” Mrs.Clark shouted to the whole class as everyone began to walk towards her. Once she finished speaking I picked up the balls beside me; tossed them in the basket with the remaining balls that didn't make it into the game. I reached down in the basket to organize the balls so there was enough room for them all to fit. After I turned around to find only three people in the whole gym
Me,
Jalen;
Jenna.
Not even Mrs.Clark was anywhere to be seen.
I then walked to the opposite side of the gym to help Jalen and Jenna with the rest of the balls. “What happened to everyone?” I said confusingly looking at Jalen and Jenna.
“Guess they didn't feel like picking up the balls today, so that leaves us” Jenna replied with a tone of attitude in her voice. I then nodded my head in despair; as we collected the rest of the balls and headed into the musty old storage closet with Jenna and Jalen to get changed for class.
