A New Family

Lily's POV:

More balls were thrown in my direction, luckily, they were out of synch and I caught them all easily. Luke realized that I was fine defending myself and picked up every ball that I caught and hurled them over at the other team. Luke was an amazing thrower, he had the balls that would hit someone with so much force, it would give them a bruise. And if they dodged the balls it would hit against the wall with so much force it would echo across the gym and hit someone from behind.

Unfortunately, Jacob as well was amazing at throwing, his balls were the ones that were too risky to catch and hard to dodge.

I noticed that a good majority of my team mates were down. But if I went forward I could get out easily. In Minnesota, when I was on a team; in dodgeball (or medic), I used my gymnastics skills to avoid balls. It was actually the safest way because if you try to sprint it, everyone can predict what direction your going. But if you use gymnastics, you're in the air, so it's harder to pinpoint exactly where you're going to be.

"Luke!" I shouted.

"Yeah?" He kept his eyes on the court but came closer to me.

"What's his name?" I pointed to a guy who was down that was also good at throwing balls.

"Zach."

"And everyone else who's down?"

"That's Molly, Chase, Ginny, Austin, Gavin, Adam, and Lucy," he pointed to all of them.

"Molly! Chase! Zach! Ginny! Austin! Gavin! Adam! Lucy!" I yelled, they all looked towards me.

"I need you all to hold your hands out, please," they all did.

"She's gonna make a run for it! Balls at the ready!" Screeched Claire. I smiled to myself, yes there will be a bit of running.

I started off with a lunge, round offed and did a back tuck and touched two hands. Then I did consecutive back handsprings as fast as possible, ending with a back layout, touching four hands. Two left. I was about to go into another round off but a ball flew right at me. I managed to dodge it by doing an aerial. I did three more, got the last two hands, and managed not to get hit.

I sprinted to the back of the room, catching and dodging a few more balls, while running towards Luke. I put my hand on his shoulder, breathlessly, panting. I slumped onto the ground, exhausted and sore; I haven't done gymnastics in three months.

"Lily! Watch out!" I warily looked at the court, watching as Luke dived for a ball, hitting it out of my way just in time. I rushed over to him, concerned.

"Luke are you okay?" I grabbed his hand and helped him up.

"Just didn't want our star player getting out." I laughed at his comment.

"So who do you suppose is the medic?" I asked Luke.

"I think it's Sophie because she keeps cowering behind everyone and doesn't dare to tap anyone unless she has a wall of protection." I nodded, that made sense. Sorry Sophie, you're going to have a bruise tomorrow.

"You any good at throwing?" To show Luke, I took a ball and pitched it softball style at Claire. It wasn't as fast but it went exactly where I wanted it to go, her thighs.

"Owwwww!" Claire whined, clutching her legs, she fell over. Apparently, she was in a lot of pain.

"Everyone, come here!" Yelled Luke, red team huddled up, the blue team as well.

"Everyone throw balls at Sophie." Announced Luke, we all nodded in agreement.

"We don't have enough balls, though." said Adam.

"Let me take care of that." I ran up to the front of the gym court, at least twenty balls were hurled at me. I dodged them all, letting the balls roll over to my team.

"Your amazing." Luke said. I laughed and froze.

----Flashback----

I was at the beach at Camp and Nick and I were enjoying our free time together. I had just done a round off back handspring, I was dripping wet, my one-piece swimming suit, soaked.

"Your amazing" said Nick. I laughed and said:

"I know." I joked and looked around.

"I forgot my towel!" I groaned.

Nick wrapped his towel around me, his fingers lingered on my shoulders. I smiled gratefully, hoping that my blush wasn't too deep and that he couldn't feel by heart pumping a mile a minute.

----End of Flashback----

"I uh, have to go change." I stuttered to Nick, I mean Luke. Or was it Nick? In disguise? They were so alike! But Nick's hair was straight and Luke's was curly and he had freckles... I ran to the locker room. I quickly changed and ran to my next class. I sat down in a seat that was already surrounded by students so that Nick, I mean Luke couldn't sit next to me. But I wish Nick could sit next to me. If only I hadn't gone out with Jacob.
