Layla doing gymnastics ^^^
Song: Sick Boy by The Chainsmokers

Layla's POV

"So how was yesterday?" Jaz grins at me as I approached my locker. She was bouncing on her feet like the monkey she was.

But me, being the genius decided to trip on air now. 

I heard laughter and saw Jaz doubling up in laughter. "Did you just trip?" She wheezed out, clutching her stomach.

"Nah, the floor needed a hug. So I gave it one." I state, rolling my eyes.

"Oh, and why were you crying and rubbing your sides then?" 

"It was an emotional moment for both of us. And to answer your question, it was Awesome!!! His reaction was priceless. I should have recorded it." I chuckled.

Jaz joined me when I felt a pair of hands close my eyes from behind.
"Guess" the person whispered in my ear.

"Umm... Anna?"
When did Anna have a voice of a man,idiot.
My mind added.

I giggled at my stupidity and said the next name that came into my mind.
"Justin!!"

As soon as I said that, the hands left my eyes, I turned to see Eric, looking at me crestfallen.
"Ooh Eric, so it was you. Wait, what happened? Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I gotta go." He said and stormed off in the other direction.

"What's up with him?" I asked Jaz who froze immediately.
"Oh, how would I know." She said not meeting my eyes.

I knew she was lying but decided not to push it any further.
Yeah, she's my best friend. We can figure out if the other is lying to us.

"Senior batch, please report to the Main Hall." The intercom stated in that boring, monotonous and robotic voice.

"Come on. Let's get going."
~~~~~~~
The first two classes passed by in a blur. And the announcement was a boring AF These people just like to torture us by trapping us in a stampede at the homeroom. 

" Guys! What was the announcement about? I missed home room today" Anna asks desperately.
She really needs to know.

Then let's just drag it a bit.
"Oh, that. That is about...." I fake yawn.
She gives me a pointed look then turns to Jaz, who keeps on eating her fries and canned beans like a deaf madwoman.

"Please tell me anyone." She begs, her cupping her hands with one another.
Poor thing just went through a hard time with her break up. Let's feel pity for her.

"The football and cheer selections will begin from tomorrow till the day after." I speak in the same monotone, imitating our Head Coach.

"Oh, you should try out Layla." Anna says, sipping on her soda and finally relieved that she got to know what the announcement was about.
"Nah, Sophia's a bitch. I can't deal with her."

"Totally agree with ya" Two voices say, sitting on both sides of me.
I turn to find Justin and River, grinning at me.
They showed their whole set of 24 teeth like those people at Toothpaste commercials.
Wait, was it 32?
Nah, I don't care. I should have paid more attention in Biology.

"What?!" I ask, suspiciously narrowing my eyes at them.
"Nothing, just heard rumours that you were a cheerleader." River grins again.
Wider than before, if that's even possible.

"That's not a rumour. She actually was." Jaz spilled the beans.
No, she didn't spill the beans which she was eating, she spilled the secret.

"Ooh then maybe you should tryout. I can imagine you with that hot outfit." Justin winks, then leans back closing his eyes and imagining.

I smack his rock hard chest when he laughs like a headless raccoon .
Headless raccoon?
Whatever, forget I ever said that.
"Don't wanna and ain't gonna. I'd rather shave my eyebrows off."
I smirk. My decision is final.

I feel something hit the side of my face.
"Who was it?" I growl, holding the peel of banana.
"It was me darling. Thought you haven't tasted it in a while, so wanted to give it to you." Sophia smirks with her signature evil smirk.
The whole cafeteria erupts in laughter.

"You half faced orangutan. You're only good at eating bananas of Mr. Will." I retort and her face turns as red as a cherry.

The crowd oohs and aahs.
What? It's true, how can this airhead score full marks in Calculus???
By screwing the teacher of course.

"At least, I do sports. Look at you, Ms. Thunder Thighs."
That's it she's done enough.

"You think I don't know"
"Like please bitch, I bet that you can't even a do cartwheel right."
"I can do it. Much better than you " I state, looking directly in her eye.
"Then prove it."

Ha, she thinks gymnastics is harder than a trigonometry sum.
Well, she's hell wrong.

"Laylz, we all know that you're better than her. You don't have to prove it to them." Jaz whispers in my ear and I stood up.

"Sorry Jaz. Some things have to be proved." I walk up to a table and look at Sophie and she has hesitation in her eyes.
She and I both know that I was the queen of Gymnastics in middle school.

Oh God, it's been long since I last did gymnastics. Please don't make me break my leg. Halloween is coming soon and I don't want to go trick or treating like Jake Sully on Avatar.

After making a quick prayer call to God. I place my hands on the table, close my eyes and launch myself into the air.
By the way, our tables are really big. So big that even 5 people can sleep on them.
No that way of sleeping, you dirty minded idiot.
I open them again to find the whole cafeteria staring at me with their jaws on the ground.
Even Justin and Sophia.

Bet she thought I forgot.
"Well that was easy. Even a toddler would do that." Sophie sneered, crossing her arms.
"Can you do a handspring?" She challenged.

"Front or back?"
"Both." She confirmed with a smug grin.

I did the front one. Then proceeded to do the back one.
I thought I would injure myself.
I won't now. My confidence is restored.

"Herkies"
Easy peazy. I did it

"Pike jump"
This airhead dumb or what. These are so easy.
I did it again without breaking a sweat.

"Triple twisting double back" she grinned.
Shit! This is the most difficult one I've done so far and I'm sure I'm going to regret this after breaking my leg.

"You don't have to do it." Anna says, sensing the hesitation on my face.
No, I can't let Sophia win or give her that satisfaction.

I made another silent prayer to God, closed my eyes and launched myself in the air.
My leg is broken for sure.
It's official, I am Jake Sully in the wheelchair for Halloween.
Get my wheelchair ready.

I opened my eyes when I heard clapping and cheering.

Why are they clapping if my leg is broken.
I look down to see that I did a perfect landing.

Whoa!! YASSSSSSSSS!!!!!

The entire population was clapping. Some guys also wolf whistled but stopped as Justin glared at them.
I turned to Sophia to find her looking at me with wide eyes and jaw open.
I kept my finger under her chin and lifted it to close her jaw.
"Careful honey, you don't want to catch flies now." I smirked as the bell rang.

Two pair of arms wrapped around me to find Jaz and Anna hugging me.
"Oh my gosh, you did it." Jaz squealed.
"Come on guys. Let's get to class." And we walk out of the school cafeteria.
Like  bosses.

"Wait, why is Coach Brenda coming towards us?" Jaz asks no one in particular.
She stops by us and offers me a smile.

Uh oh, I don't like the way this is going.
"Layla, right?" She asks me with the same smile.
"Uh, yes." I reply, giving her an 'I have no clue why you're here' look.

"I have decided." She grins at me, like she has the answer sheet of my chemistry exam.
"Decided what, Coach?" I ask, my heart thumping against my chest.
Her next words brought a cyclone and shook my entire world.

~~~

I know it's quite obvious as to what the Coach has decided.
