The time had come for gym and mostly everyone was looking forward to it. With the only exceptions being Sasha and Lynne who didn't like that they had to share the same gym glass with the other and tried to avoid contact with each other as much as they could.
"Okay everyone, today we're going to be doing a game of dodge ball. I want half of the class on one side and half on the other." The coach instructed everyone as they all got up to opposite sides.
Gloria stood over on Sasha's side to try and talk with her a little bit too just as they game started.
"Sasha, do you mind if we talk for a moment? On your left." Gloria asked while looking out for the balls coming at them.
"Now? what could you seriously say that's so important? Duck." Sasha said while they managed to avoid a few more hits.
"Well, I know you were just trying to help that day in study hall..." Gloria said as they continued dodging balls.
"When I hit her really hard for insulting my home life?" Sasha asked with a small smirk.
"Yeah, maybe you know you could apologize to her? I mean, she wasn't in the best mood, you've got to admit." Gloria said as their side was starting to lose players while Lynne's side still had plenty of players left.
"I know she's your sister....I know you want us all to be on good terms.....but she needs to understand that what she said still wasn't cool." Sasha said as their side was down to six players now while the other side had seven.
"I just don't want to go back to her own time period feeling like we ruined her life. Besides, if you think about it, you two have something in common." Gloria said as one of their other teammates was hit out.
"What's that?" Sasha asked.
"Well pardon my french, but you both don't take shit from no one." Gloria said before getting hit out of the game.
Sasha looked around to notice that she was the only one on her side left while it was down to Lynne, Mandy, and one guy on the other side. Sasha managed to grab a ball and knock Mandy out of the game. Lynne and the other guy left tried to hit her out, but Sasha was too fast and dodged them. Sasha was finally able to knock the other boy out of the game leaving it down to just her and Lynne as the two threw balls at one another and missing the other. Lynne's side was encouraging her to win, as was Sasha's side. After another minute or two, Lynne and Sasha took a breather as Sasha looked behind her towards Gloria who was the only one not cheering for Sasha and just looked worried.
'Damn you, Gloria.' Sasha thought to herself as she stood up and walked over to Lynne's side of the gym.
Lynne was confused by this and was about to throw the ball at Sasha when Sasha held up her hand for her to wait a moment.
"I'm.....(sigh) I'm a jackass." Sasha said.
"Wait....what?" Lynne asked confused.
"I can be a jackass sometimes to people, yeah. But it's only because I grew up without a mom for so many years. Lynne, you are damn lucky to actually have a mom that loves you as well as a sister that goes out of her way to try and make me see the error of my ways. I was hurt by what you said, yes, but I'm sorry that I hit you. So to make it up to you, I walked over this close so you could hit me as hard as you can with that ball." Sasha said as Lynne gave a small smirk.
"Just remember, you asked for it." Lynne said as she threw the ball at Sasha's face.
"Apology accepted, you jackass." Lynne said looking down at her.
"Right back at you." Sasha smirked rubbing her eye from the hit.
Gloria then ran over to Sasha and Lynne.
"Sasha, are you okay?" Gloria asked looking down at her friend.
Sasha watched as Lynn walked back over to some of her friends.
"Yeah, I am. Give your sister time, Gloria. She'll come around." Sasha said as she patted Gloria on her back.
