My next class featured Alec, Tori, and Grace.

I was beginning to have a love hate relationship with this particular class.

It wasn’t all bad because I got to sit next to Tori, which kept Alec from tormenting me. The downside was Grace and her friends would constantly throw insults my way. For someone who acts like their bulletproof, her insults sure hurt a lot.

I had been dreading Gym class all day. We were split between Volleyball and Basketball for the next month or so.

Sports have always been challenging for me. And as funny as it sounds, the ball always seemed attracted to my face.

I chose the option that didn’t include Alec or Kade, which was Volleyball. Much to my dismay Grace happened to choose Volleyball as well.

My options weren’t looking too great. Pick Basketball and suffer the intruding touches of the twins, or Volleyball and suffer mean comments from Grace.

I’d choose mean comments any day.

While the medium sized gym shirt fit me comfortably, they only had a size small in the shorts. I was naturally slim, but my hips flared out along with a full bottom. The shorts constantly rid up my thighs, and in my opinion looked as though they were going to tear at any moment.

Thankfully, that weird mesh material gym shorts were made from was typically strong.

I somehow managed to survive fifteen minutes of dodging the Volleyball when something had to happen.

Grace had served the ball and someone on the other team had hit it back. The ball was heading straight for my face, and I braced myself for the impact.

Instead of getting hit in the face, I was abruptly knocked to the ground. My head bounced against the linoleum floor with a sickening crack. A dazed whimper escaped my lips as my teeth clicked together.

“S**t, Aurora. You okay?” Autumn’s familiar voice spoke from over me.

She had her hand out and I gratefully took it as she pulled me to my feet.

The Earth wobbled a little and I knew I was going to have a k****r headache tomorrow, but I’d survive.

“What the h**l happened?” I groaned, my fingers grazing the side of my head for any traces of blood.

I turned my attention to Autumn’s gaze and looked into the smug eyes of Grace. She was snickering with another one of the girls and when she caught me looking, she gave me a taunting wave.

“Grace happened.” I gritted my teeth, answering my own question.

I noticed the rest of the class had stopped playing Basketball, and decided to gawk at what just happened.

My eyes scanned the other kids until they landed on Alec and Kade.

My heart nearly dropped as I took in their sweaty physiques and tousled hair. What made my blood run cold was the murderous glares they were throwing in my direction.
