Cassentie was wearing her P.E. uniform, and trying to make herself happy. She got a tennis racket and a tennis ball. She hit the ball as hard as she could and the ball was there, not even on the other side of the place. She was surprised. Suddenly, she thought if this was caused of her boredom. But she thought it was nothing. Nothing like a dust. Then, she tried it again, but she failed. She looked down, and shouted, "BORED!"

"You're kidding me? That's her?"
I opened an eye to look toward the direction of the voice. Two girls were whispering to each other as they stole glances as me. I groaned before turning to the wall.
So I fell when I ran. Tripped over my own foot. And I didn't give a damn with whatever they think I am. I raised myself up, yet still a bit lazy to even budge.
I looked straight, eye level rather than straight up or plunging downward. Seeing Cassentie Oracle, I gave out a shrug with the thoughts of, Heck. I don't even talk to her anymore; might as well do.
She took a tennis racket and began to hit the tennis ball. I don't like tennis. Badminton would always be better for me. Noticing her failure - who wouldn't, anyway? - I tried not to snicker. I'm doomed if she heard me. Then she yelled a single word, and again I shrugged.
I jogged toward her, unsure of what to say other than stare. "Erm. Hi?" I greeted uncertainly.

Erm. Hi?"
Cassentie looked behind. She saw it was Xena, Xena Zatkin. She was shocked and asked her, "Are you here for long?" Her eyes widened. She doesn't like to see her failing on her sport, Tennis. It doesn't even matter to other people but for her, IT DOES! She nodded and started to cry. Tears were falling, and she waited what would happen next.

I was almost thrown over to the floor as I noticed how oblivious she was that I had been in the field (or the gym?) thirty minutes earlier, leaving my impression sweaty and gasping. Oh great, now Cassentie began to cry.
It wasn't a real reason to cry if I was earlier than her in coming. Neither is failing on a sport a reason to cry. What I had noticed about her starting was when she hadn't began with a warm-up session first, before practicing the real thing. And she forgot to jog around, inhale and exhale for two minutes before getting the proper equipment for the sport.
With the tears falling and me mulling over why the heck she was crying, the question that was first directed to me had sprang back to my head. I answered in the midst of her state, "Yes. I've been her for long." But that didn't mean I watched her all the time. That would've been boring; what's the use of going to the exercise section of the academy yet not doing so?
"Stop crying, will 'ya," I commanded gently, getting slightly annoyed yet the negative state didn't seep to my tone. "True sportsmanship is found when you accept failure. As how they say, falling once and giving up is worse than falling eight times and getting up the ninth time." Or something like that, anyway.

Yes. I've been here for long
Cassentie was shocked. She stopped crying. That means Xena saw her failing at her own sport. She looked at her with her eyes open wide. She knows Xena hates her from the start but saying that calm words would make her feel better. Because of friends maybe. But she felt annoyed when Xena changes her personality.
Stop crying, will 'ya
"Okay...okay..." she replied. Eh... crying is the best thing to do when you are hurt and everything. She looked at her feeling a little bit happy.

"Yes. Really, eh."
I replied back. Looks like mimicking her was a slight result to being annoyed with her. I sighed. "Besides, with you knowing how to play tennis doesn't mean all the other people in the world do." And I hesitated as I continued, "I don't know how to play tennis."
The next sentence was kept to me only: Tennis is such a bore.

"You don't know how to play tennis? Wanna try to play it? Since I know it. Maybe we can play, or teach teh great Xena. Teh new vice president," she said. Cassneite giggled and smiled. |

I sighed. "I swear. I'm hopeless at tennis."
Yet I walked over to the sports equipment room and got what looked like Cassentie's racket. Seeing the badminton racket made me want to grab that and just leave for my own court.
But leaving the Oracle girl hanging there and waiting for me would just might lead to another breakdown. And that would be annoying for anyone. Or she'll come stalking me, and that's annoying for me.
I emerged from the room and jogged toward Cassentie. "You should probably teach me first," I said, remembering the vague times I wanted to learn and peppered the instructor with almost every question possible. "The rules and movement, I mean."

"Really? I never saw you play Tennis. Let me see how you play" She told Xena. Since Cassentie was hoping she would play with her, she smirked. Her tennis racket was her own, so it will make hr game easy if Xena would play with her.
You should probably teach me first, The rules and movement, I mean
"Before I teach you, Let me see how you play" she said, Cassentie throw the ball to Xena so she would serve it. She never saw this girl play sports. Just running and speaking sarcasticly. |

"Damn it, Oracle."
I cursed as I catched the ball with my left hand, my right holding the racket. I moved to the opposite court. I dribbled it like how you would a basketball. Serving it would be as how the game in my cellphone. Throw up, throw upward, then swing.
The ball went over the net to Cassentie and all the while I thought, What the hell?

Instead of hitting it or sowhatever, Cassentie just catcg the ball. "Do it again. This time put your strength into your arms, and then smash it. I think it's not hard for you since your alice can help, noh?" she teased Xena. It's true. Xena's alice can help her to do something like that. And maybe she could cheat at sports. |
