Tenacious Sky

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. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

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.

"It doesn't look good," he muttered to himself. Jason turned to Ryker with a stern look on his face.

"Ryker, I saw you do that on purpose. Head to my office now. Depending on how bad Sky's injury is, I'll

be there shortly to issue your punishment," Jason said before turning to me. Leo was already

attempting to get me to stand. Off of the floor, I couldn't quite step on my twisted foot.

"Can you walk?" Jason asked. I attempted to and immediately regretted it. Without hesitating, Leo bend

in front of me and scooped my thighs around his waist in a piggyback position.

"I'll take him to the nurse," Leo explained as he walked towards the exit. Judging by the looks of

surprise and shock on everyone's faces, I could tell this was unusual behavior for Leo, but I was in too

much pain to speculate at the moment. He carried me through the main building and to the nurse's

office.

"What do we have here?" The nurse asked as she came over to where Leo set me on a bed. The

nurse was a woman with her slender frame clothed in pink scrubs with the name tag: Jackie. Her black

hair was cut in a bob, making her electric blue eyes stand out even more.
