Chapter 4 FALLING FOR HIM

chapter 4 P.E."Ms. Williams, why are you late?" Mrs. Welsh asked.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Welsh. There were some mixups in my schedule and I had to go to the office to have it fixed. Here is my late pass." I explained, giving her my late pass and my registration form.

"I see. Go ahead and take a seat next to Mr. Mckenzie. He will be your lab partner for the entire year." she said, giving me back my registration form.

I walked over to the empty stool next to Alex.

Great! My life is officially doomed. This is going todown notes.

The class went by fast. Finally, it's the 4th Period. I sent Sophie and Emmy a text letting them know I'm on my way before leaving the Physics Lab. I was reading Sophie's text when I tripped over something. I almost fell face down, but then Alex caught me.

"You ok?" he asked me.

"Uhm. Yup. Thanks for that." I replied.

I'm even surprised that my brain could come up with a reply that fast. I mean, it's THE Alex Mckenzie, my high school crush.

"I assume you have P.E. for the next class. Am I right?" he asked. I simply nodded because I was still in a little shock.

I was about to leave already when he said something.

"Wait. Let's go to the gym together. You might trip over something again and might break an arm or leg. I won't be having a Biology and Physics Partner." he said with a joke.

I just shook my head in what he said and continued walking. He was able to catch up pretty quick. I just continued walking, pretending that I am not aware that he is right behind me. He was about to say something when Jake, one of his basketball teammates, called him. "Hey man. Wassup? Classes had been so boring. You are barely in any of my classes. "Jake said, putting his arm over Alexs' shoulders.

"I know, man. At least, we still have P.E. together. "Alex replied.

I was glad when I saw the girls changing rooms. I ran inside and went straight to my locker. Sophie and Emmy were already there changing.

"What took you so long?" Emmy asked.

"You did not reply to my text." Sophie said with her hands on her hips.

"I'm sorry, guys. You know how the halls are flooded." I simply explained leaving out the part where I tripped and Alex saved me from kissing the floor.

I went and changed right away before Sophie nags at me. We went straight to the gym after changing our clothes. We sat by the bench while waiting for the gym teacher. The boys are playing basketball while most of the girls are cheering for them and some are just gossiping.

Sophie was talking about prom dresses when the Mr. Spencer gym teacher arrived.

"Ppprrrrtttt!" I hate the sounds of those whistles.

"Gather around students. For today, we will have volleyball. And before you all complain and get excited, I have already divided you into teams. By the end of the term, you will compete againsteach other." Mr. Spencer explained. "I want you to come up here when I call your name."

One by one, names were being called. Half of the class were already in their respective teams. There were around 20 students left sitting. Sophie, Emmy and I have not been called yet. We are all hoping that we will be in the same group. "Wilson, Davis, Peterson, Scott, Mckenzie and Williams. You are one team."

Holly complained right away about her group and wants to change groups.

"Ms. Stevens, the groupings are already final." Mr. Spencer said. "Now sit with your groups and come up with a team leader."

I was already sitting next to Sophie and Emmy so all the other 3 guys had to do was come by our bench. Peter and David are both basketball players as well.

"Hey girls!." Peter said.

"Alex, be the team leader since you are the team captain of the basketball team." Sophie said. She is actually right and everyone agreed to her.

"Ok class. I want you all to sit together with your teams. Starting today, all our activities will be done by a group. With that being said, everybody on your feet and we will start with stretching." Mr. Spencer said.

The stretching lasted 20 minutes. Most of the girls were complaining the whole time. After the stretching, the first two groups were called for the first game. When it was our group's turn, we were playing against Holly's team. It was a simple game since all the girls in their team were running away from the ball.

After P.E., we all went to change. Since P.E. is the last class we have, we can finally go home. I got home and went straight to the shower. I don't enjoy taking a shower in school. After my shower, I went downstairs and prepared myself a snack. Since Mom and Dad are still at work, I'm all by myself in the house. I grabbed my bowl of snacks and went back to my room to study.

A few hours later, Mom and Dad got home, and we had dinner. We just talked about how our day went. After dinner, I went straight to bed. The day exhausted me from all the dramas and the happenings.
