‘I’m glad you are well again.’ Zak smiles.
Thanks, me too.’
I’m glad to see Nina is walking to school with us for a change.’ Josie smiles.
“Me too.’ I say again. Nina and I give each other a smile.
We arrive at school; I have science with Nina first.
We walk in giggling and laughing and take our seats at our wonky table.
“Great to see you two laughing for a change instead of fighting.’ Mr. Thomson says.
We open our textbook and complete our worksheet with no drama. The bell goes for the next class. Moss approaches Nina and wraps his arms around her, and lifts her up. She squeals with delight while he holds her up and she gazes into his eyes and they kiss
As hard as it is, I keep my cool. He puts her down gently.
ll see you later, Nina,’ I say, waving goodbye. She waves back,
1 thought you hated him?’ I hear Moss ask her.
‘We have put our differences aside and are once again friends,’
I see…’ he says in a deep voice,
He glares at me. ‘Let’s get to class babe before we’re late.’ He says and leads her away
Claire races towards me ‘I’m glad you’re better. Let’s get to English class. She says, holding my arm.
It was lunchtime before I knew, Claire and I made our way to the cafeteria. Nina waves and smiles at me from her table with Moss by her side. I wave back.
Why are you waving at Nina? Magnus’ Claire asks.”
“Because she is my friend, Claire.”
“But I thought you weren’t talking to each other anymore?”
Well, we are now ‘I say and munch on my food.
I have a good chat with Flint, Zak, Paul, and Josie. May keeps quiet but glares at Claire the whole time.
The bell rings
“What class do we have, Flint?’
“PE…
Great PE with Moss, way to ruin my day.
Flint, Paul, and I change into our shorts and tank shirts and hit the ball.
Moss keeps up with us trying to intimidate me, but it doesn’t work. We completely ignore him and finish the three laps.
“Right boys, time for some dodgeball.’ Mr Tilley announces. ‘I want you all to form two groups.’
We form two groups; Moss is on the opposite team.
Mr Tilley places his hand on my shoulder.
This team will throw the balls first. The other team is to dodge the balls and not get hit.’
My team lines up and we throw them at random members of the opposite team. Moss is the last one on the oval still playing. He has great stamina and agility but is not as good as me. I aim the ball carefully and throw the ball. It taps his chest.
“You’re out Moss.’ I say with a smirk.
He glares
Right, swap sides now, boys.’ Mr Tilley yells.
As we pass each other, Moss whacks my shoulder with his. I want to rip his head off, but I contain my anger and ignore him, which seems to make Moss even angrier,
He kept aiming for me and missing; he was throwing the ball with significant force, hoping to injure me. I’m the last player on the oval and it’s been over twenty minutes,
Mr Tilley blows his whistle.
‘Time to pack up, and Magnus, well done’ He says.
I walk away with Flint, Zak, and Paul back towards the school building until I feel a sudden pain in the back of my head and everything goes black.
I wake up in the nurse’s office with a throbbing headache and look around the room.
Flint is with me.
‘What happened?’
‘Moss decided dodgeball wasn’t over yet… he ran up behind you and threw the ball at her head with all his strength and knocked you out. He is currently being scolded in the principal’s office.’
Nina runs into the nurse station and takes my hand.
‘I heard what happened. He should not have done that. I’m so sorry. I will talk to Moss and make sure he does nothing stupid again.’
‘Nina, it’s not your fault. You don’t need to apologise.’
‘He just doesn’t like we are friends again, but he will have to accept it.’
Claire runs in, takes my hand from Nina’s grip. ‘Boo-boo, are you okay?’
‘Yeah, every minute that goes by, the pain subsides.’
The nurse walks in, ‘That’s because you have your wolf now you will heal quickly.’ She smiles. ‘Do you feel okay to return to class?’
‘Yes, I think I’ll be fine.’ I say and get up from the bed,
*Thanks for checking on me Nina, I appreciate it.’ I say, waving.
Claire glares at me for a moment, ‘You know Boo-boo,’ she says as we walk away, ‘I think you’re spending too much time with Nina I’m feeling very neglected, you know.’
