Thomas POV

We put our shoes inside and go in front of the teacher and the monitor.

The monitor make two groups. I'm disgusted, I'm not with James.

"Group 1 is rock climbing and group 2 is badminton," He says.

I see James disgusted.

"You want to do with me?" Asks James. Aaron nods.

A man whom I presume is a rock climbing teacher is approaching group 1.

"Come here group 1," He says.

"Then you will put the nets," Says Mr. Fabre.

I did not do anything because there were enough people, so I look at group 1.

I see the instructor show them how to put on their climbing belt, but as I am a bit far I do not see exactly how he puts the rope in ... ???? Good I'll see when it will be my turn.

I decide to listen for once my monitor.

There are only two pitches, so many people are waiting. Alex was only looking at Aaron who is with James. James climbs half and stops exhaustion.

But to go down it was something else.

"Aaron, you make me fall, I'll never trust you again !!!!!!" James shouts, clutching the rocks. Aaron laughs. The climbing teacher gets closer and shows Aaron how to get down James.

"Eh...James your legs should be strained and pretend you're sitting down," The professor says. James shakes his head.

"James, you have to let go of your hands," He says. James takes off a hand.

"It's good. Now the other, " He says. James quickly puts his hand back and shakes your head a few times.

"James, I'm sure you can do it, just let yourself go," Aaron says. James stretches his legs. He managed to get in position and now it's up to Aaron to handle everything. He lowers it so slowly that I wonder how he did it to keep the pace.

James sighs with relief, surely because he still alive.

I don't know why I'm looking at Maria.

"Charles what are you doing ?? !!!" She asks pissed off. I look at Charles who is with her. He doesn't really know what to do. The climbing teacher gets closer and helps him pull the rope.

"You can go down," Says the professor,

"NO! I don't trust !!! " She shouts.

"Don't worry. You can go down," He says. She shakes her head.

"Maria, everything is going to be okay," Says Aaron, who is also climbing and next to her.

He shows her how to do the position. With much hesitation she does it. And they go do....

"Thomas, it's your turn to play," Alex says irritably. I have to play against Alex.

I don't like racket sports, but rather ball, so when he taunts me that he won, I shrug and return to my bench.

I see James and Aaron talking.

"James. It's not over yet you will have to do the others too. " Says the teacher.

"Yes, but, sir, I don't feel very good, I have a little headache, can I stay a little while?"

The professor hesitates, but accepts. Aaron laughs and pats him on the shoulder.

* After 30 minutes *

Now it's to me to climb, I'm with Lafayette. I climb easily and Lafayette gets off quite well. I do the same with him. After doing this many times, we got fed up. The teacher let us do when he wants. I'm going to watch James.

James starts playing against Aaron. He looks at himself as if they were enemies.

"No more friendship," James says, clutching his racket.

"No mercy," Aaron says. Aaron throws the shuttlecock so fast that if it were me, I would have dropped it. James doesn't do at all what I thought, he runs quickly and returns the shuttlecock wheel so fast that Aaron failed to catch it. I look at Lafayette, he looks shocked just like me. I didn't know he could run so fast.

"What ???? !!!!" Says Aaron completely lost. James laughs. Aaron throws the shuttlecock again quickly. James does the same. Aaron throws it far and James has not been able to catch up.

"Why ?? !!!!" Says James. Aaron smiled.

"I'm the best," Aaron says.

"What? You?? Let me laugh !!! "James says.

1-1

3-2

6-6

11-12

"NO!!! I have to win !!! " Says Aaron. I didn't notice, but everyone looks at them, even the others who were playing staring at them.

Aaron throws the shuttlecock, James hits it softly that pushing Aaron to go closer to the net. He strikes her so softly, even when falling. He gets up quickly and leaves the shuttlecock that James to throw. It's out.

"YES !!!" Says Aaron.

"NO !!!!!" James shouts.

"It's time to go home," The monitor says.

James groans and Aaron smiles.

Everyone arranges the materials.

I see Hercules smiling with James.

"You play too good like before," Says Hercules. James shakes his head and smiles proudly of him. Lafayette is getting closer to my Jemmy. He tells her something that makes him laugh. I feel anger rising in me.

Putting on my shoes, I wanted to take the opportunity to talk to him, but this bitch comes.

"James?" Says the bitch.

"Oh! Hi Dolley, "James says, smiling.

"I think you play well," She says, blushing.

"Thank you, I saw you climb, I wonder how you didn't be afraid," James says. She laughs.

"When I was little, I loved climbing trees," She says.

Anger is bubbling inside me. I get up and put my bag. I see James get up and help Dolley get on his feet. I go to him and take his hand to go away from her.
