10 Gym class isn't the Olympics

My legs flinched as they touched the cool gym floor. I placed my face on my hands as I sighed deeply. Rhea's chuckle filled my ears as she rolled on the ground laughing.

"The fucker actually said "sexth"? OH LORD YOU HAVE TO INTRODUCE ME TO THIS GUY NOW!"

"Rhea you're laughing is pissing me off even more, please shut the fuck up."

Rhea's laughter quieted as she pulled my ponytail up to get my face out of my hands. I winced as I felt the base of my scalp pull.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I give! I give! Please stop pulling my ponytail!"

Rhea laughed as she released my now limp ponytail. I pouted as I held my throbbing head. Having gym class as my final class of the day is both a blessing and a curse. The good thing is that I don't have to change after gym class but the shitty thing is the fact that I'm usually tired as hell by this time.

I groaned as I crawled to the middle of the gym and slammed my body on the floor. I was toot tired to do anything. Breathing even seems like too hard of a task. My eyes slid over to see everyone chatting and talking. Why the fuck is everyone so energetic? Why am I the only tired bitch?

Especially because of the fact that I have AP chemistry before this class. I sighed deeply once more after remembering the shit of a test that I had just done last period. It was the first time in my life where I had only completed half of the test.

Mathematically, getting a 50% on the test would drop my grade down to a B+. I felt my eyes well up. Oh my God.

A B+?

What does the B stand for, bitch? And the plus means that I'm a positive one at that?

And this is the first test that I had actually not crammed for the day before. Well I'm never going to study a week early ever again. Thermodynamics were never my strong suit after all.

Our gym teacher Mr. Kendrick smiled as he plopped down on the middle of the gym floor. He then said in a soft voice.

"Okay everyone. Today we will be playing badminton, and will continue doing so for the rest of the week. I want you all to just have fun and relax, no stress."

As soon as he said "badminton", I could feel my blood pressure rise. Badminton was my favorite sport and the only one that I've been on the varsity team for since sixth grade.

Rhea looked over and smirked. She's known for her physical prowess as an athlete. She has won the "student athlete" award all through high school. But the one sport that I beat her at is badminton nevertheless. I looked around to see that Kaden doesn't share this class with me. I sighed. I wonder what he would look like in gym clothes?

I immediately slapped my cheeks as I tried to calm my slutiness down. I then stood up next to Rhea as we walked over to the bin filled with rackets and "birdies" which are the balls used to play badminton.

I immediately started twirling the racket with my hands as I looked for "birdies" which weren't ripped. The ball for badminton has a soft, small ball at one end and frays out with a plastic casing on the other hand. Badminton resembles tennis in many ways but is played indoor or at the beach, where the net is higher and involves a lot of jumping.

I personally love the sport because of its ability to challenge an individual. Also I don't have to run a lot. I looked forward to see that my gym class was awkwardly imbalanced. Half of the class consisted of extremely athletic guys, and the other half was filled with girls who either play a certain sport or just don't care. I fall neatly in the middle of this class as I try when I need to and don't when the sport doesn't interest me.

As Rhea and I walked over to our assigned court I stretched my arms upward. My eyes slid over to see that all of the guys were emitting a deathly aura. It was as if they were heading into the Olympics or something. I chuckled as I threw my racket up and caught it with my other hand.

Well, why don't I try to break that fighting spirit of yours? I am the Queen of badminton after all. Let me show you the despair of losing for once.
