I watched Matthew and Lizzy pair up and wondered, Who would want to be with me, the smart, silent chick? I felt a tap on my shoulder and I swung around with my arm extended to hit the person behind me, stopping a centimeter from his neck.
"Dead." I laughed. "Hey Evan. Wanna be my partner?" I asked, letting my hand drop.
"Yeah. Nice knife hand, by the way." He said smiling. A second too late I noticed his leg behind mine. He pulled my legs out from under me and I landed on the floor.
"Nice." I whispered, trying to fill my lungs with air. I kicked up, stopping inches from his crotch, then rolled and stood quickly.
"Paralyzed." I stuck my tongue out at Evan, smiling. I came back and spun around so we passed back to back and brought the back of my fist close to his head, while he pushed his elbow into my side, gently because we were doing "no contact" or close to that.
We continued to fight, getting praised by the teacher occasionally. When we finished in class, Evan and I walked over to where Matthew and Lizzy were.
"I love PE! Best class so far." I said, panting.
"Yeah." Lizzy agreed, gasping.
"Let's head to lunch. I'm starving! You're also a good fighter, Lizzy." Matthew said, walking towards the mansion to the dinning hall.
"Matt, aren't you always starving?" Evan asked, teasingly.
"Yeah, Matt! That's nothing new!" I laughed. Evan and Lizzy joined in.
"Yes. Now, let's get going." Matt replied.Then we started walking with him, to the back door of our school, to lunch.
