Tenacious Sky novel Chapter 11

After the study portion of our class we went to the locker room to change into our gym clothes. Leo eyed me warily as I stood in front of my locker. It was obvious that he could tell I was uncomfortable. He sighed as he opened his own locker.

"There's a bathroom around the corner from here. Get in a stall and go change there," He instructed. No one could hear him over the noise of everyone's chatter. I nodded before taking my bag out with me. After I was safely changed, I brought my uniform back to the locker room and set my things inside my locker. Luckily, the crowd had thinned out. Leo was still waiting for me. After I was done, I followed him out to gym used for general use.

"Alright everyone! Warm up, five laps, then we'll start basketball," Jason instructed. We ran through the warm up stretches and laps before it was time to divide into teams. Ryker and Leo ended up getting picked as captains. Being the barbarian he was, Ryker insisted on being skins. I was Leo's first pick and the picking ordered continued until everyone was on a team. Jason was refereeing the game and the game begun. It wasn't too bad to start. I was actually pretty decent at basketball. Both teams had racked up a fair amount of points. I couldn't help but to notice the small feud happening between Ryker and Leo. Ryker seemed determined to rile Leo up, but nothing he did worked. Leo let it all slide off of his back.

I was passed the ball and quickly sprinted to the other side of the court while dribbling. Before I could pass the ball or attempt to shoot it, I was shoved to the ground, twisting my ankle in the process. The ball rolled off as I hissed in a breath and grabbed my ankle. Looking up, I saw Ryker smirking back at me. Jason blew his whistle to stop the game.

"Sky!" Leo's voice rang out. He was the first to get to me as he knelt beside me and pulled my hands away to look at my ankle. It was already beginning to swell.
