SMART MOVES

To say that I feel happy would be an understatement.

I can't forget Wilkinson's face when she learned that I got a higher grade than her.

Her shocked and priceless emotions just made my day.

In addition to that, I did great in my other exams.

Another thing. Seems like Delilah is 'not-so-kind'. I knew it! There is something in her. She is not different from other girls.

She is one plastic girl. She is a show-off. Of course! Who wouldn't? She has a 'reputation' to keep.

I can't help but remember our 'talk' awhile ago. She is really angry and I clearly saw it.

But atleast it's a real emotion. Not the attitude she was showing off.

'After all, no one could be me'

'No one could be me.'

Such confidence. It'll just lead her to humiliation.

That is a promise.

"Sam!" someone called, but I chose to ignore it.

I'm too happy to talk.

"Sam! Wait!" another one said.

I heard them running towards me.

Turning around, I saw Danny and Mia. But of course, there is Delilah. Mia was dragging her as they ran towards me.

"Sam...you...walk...fast." Danny said, between breaths.

Mia and Danny were both panting, but Delilah seemed to be unaffected.

Hm. Weird.

I looked at them and raised my brow. They understood that it was a questioning gaze.

"Why don't we ride the bus together?" Danny suggested.

"I don't have a choice, do I?" I said.

They took it as a joke and laughed.

"You're funny." Mia stated.

"And doesn't have a choice." I kid.

In the past few weeks, I find it very easy to talk with Danny, Mia and Julie. They seemed to be fun and they're not my competition.

I saw Delilah who is laughing. I know that it's fake.

I walked first and they followed me. I took long strides, hoping I could escape from them. The two ran to keep up with me, but Delilah did it effortless, since she also walks fast.

So now we're even competing in a simple thing called walking?

She's really a competition.

My thoughts were interrupted as the bus arrived.

Mia and Danny sat beside each other leaving me and 'her' to sit together.

I scoffed as she sat down. Taking my phone, I decided to listen to music, so I put on my earphones and closed my eyes.

Suddenly, I felt a movement beside me. I opened my eyes and saw Delilah reading a book.

I tried to peep, but she closed it and glared at me.

'What a childish thing.'

"Ok, class. We have a new student." Coach Sangster announced.

He introduced me to my P.E. classmates.

You were probably wondering why he only introduced me now. Of course, since I enrolled a little late, he have to teach me the basics of Physical Education. I learned fast, so I was going to take the advanced.

Coach Sangster blew his whistle.

"Ok, the class will be divided into two teams. Each team will have both girls and boys..."

He continued with the mechanics. This game is boring. People earn grade from throwing balls at each other?! This is stupid.

He announced the team leaders and he blew the whistle as the start.

We started throwing basketball on the opposing team. Luckily, I was able to hit some members.

The other team hit some of our members too.

Soon, there were only few people left. Including me of course. I also take sports because of P.E.

I was able to identify my opponents faces. What surprised me is a certain face.

'What the?! She's also my competition in sports?'

I can see her avoiding being hit of the balls we threw. She is good and very fast.

'Be alert!' my mind reminded.

Soon, a ball was heading towards my direction. I quickly ducked before it hit me.

She took a ball and tried to hit me. Sadly, for her, I got away quickly.

I smirked, which earned me a glare from her.

She was throwing balls at me but I avoided it but my teammates didn't.

Soon, there were only four of us left. Me and a cheerleader from my team and Delilah and a jock from the other.

There was a tension between all of us. We tried to hit our opponents and at the same time, avoiding being hit.

Suddenly, a ball was flying towards my direction.

That's the last thing I knew before I blacked out.
