P.E. Competition 1

It's already past ten o'clock in the evening when the photo shoot ends. Raven and Kinrue feel exhausted because of the director's demand on their last shoot. All their energy left are gone, the only thing they want to do is rest. But then, in the middle of their sleep, the van stop in a secluded place. There's no cars passing by and a literal empty road in the middle of nowhere. Not far away, they saw a forest and on the other side is just a cliff. A siren sound echoes inside the van. It made them awake. They look around in confusion.

"Argh! Stop it Molly, it's annoying." Raven protested.

"Both of you did a good job today, but your consequence will start now." She utter, made the two came back to their senses.

"W-what do you mean, boss? Isn't the photo shoot your consequence?"

"Oh, my dear Kinrue, it's just a payment for the coffee you wasted and for disturbing the customer inside my coffee shop. Your consequence for making a scene inside is here."

They startle when both the right and left door open, drags the two outside the van in the middle of nowhere. Everything happens is still not sinking inside Kinrue's head, not until the men-in-black grab all their belongings before going inside the van.

"H-hey, Boss... What is the meaning of this? Let me come inside... Boss..." Kinrue protested, keep banging on the window side.

"This is not funny anymore Molly, open this goddamn door. Mollyana Auclair," Raven, kick the van door.

All you can hear are their loud voices. Try to threaten Molly, who just ignores all their demands. She command the driver to drive ahead, so he did. The two step back as the van left them hanging. The situation came like a bolt out of the blue to them, both jaw drop and hands left hang on the mid-air full of frustration. Raven shuffles his hair, kicks the stone he saw near his foot out of exasperation while Kinrue seems like her soul left inside the body and doesn't move from shock. In the middle of deafening silence, they heard a rustle sound from inside the forest. She jumps out of surprise and clings to Raven's arms when the high grass moves as if there's something will come out.

He frown, looks to her hands. "What the hell are you doing? Let go of me."

Without a word, he remove her hands and walk ahead, following the roadway, but they heard a howling sound. She screams and runs after him in terror that something might come out. Her hands cling to him out of instinct, but he shoves it away again.

"Argh! Don't you have sympathy for woman? I'm scared to death here and you..."

"Who cares? Don't follow or put your dirty hands on me ever again." He blurted out.

"Wow! For your information, I never wanted to lay a single finger on you. You... You're all high and mighty to yourself. Tsk." She bumps into him and walks ahead.

Next morning, Class 11-B where Kinrue belongs are all gather in the school field for their Physical Education (P.E.) subject. It's their second subject. They're bound to do an outdoor activity but in surprise, the Class 11-A doing an outdoor activity. Other students stretch out while waiting so, when their teacher came they will start as soon as possible. Some are gathering in a corner to sneak a peek at someone they called Lunaris Prince, none other than Raven Auclair, who's doing a stretching too.

All eyes are in the Class 11-A, because most of the well-known Lunaris prince and princesses are in the same section. Besides to Raven, there's also Mirko Yuzan, he's part of the men's volleyball club as a spiker. He captivates almost the girls' attention with his unique charisma. Next one is Vincent Morgan, the well-known next ace of basketball team. His charisma and talent are on another level, with only a smile. Hundreds of woman will faint. There's Gayle Freyass, the vice-president of the student council, an angel-like woman and also a part of a music club. Out of them all, Arisa Haruna is the famous one. Many man falls in line to catch her heart but no one knows if someone owns it. She's the queen bee of Lunaris High School, a child actress way back then but still receives a lot of CF's offer. There are many more, but those four are the best out of all. Unlike to Class 11-B famous group 'troublesome idiots' which Kinrue, Camie and Ashley belong, the Class 11-A's known as an excellent role model of the entire school.

They heard a giggle from other girls, who exclaim that they look at them, though it might be one of their illusions. Under the big oak tree, Kinrue and her friends both sit down. She hugs both limbs—out of energy while eyes close. She still wants to sleep. Her body feels exhausted from the long walk and those unexpected photo shoots which tire her out both physical and mental.

"What's going on Rue? You seem not in the mood." Camie broke the silence while twirling the ball on her finger.

"I'm exhausted to death. Should I tell Mr. Paco I have a cramp?" She answers and leans on the tree trunk.

Ashley chuckled. "No one will believe you again, Kinrue. Do you want to fail his subject?"

They all sigh and lean on the tree trunk like they've been under a lot of pressure.

After a few minutes, Mr. Paco, their PE teacher, came together with another one. It's the famous handsome new hired PE teacher. He catches all the students' attention because of his physique, like a gym trainer rather than a teacher. All the students line up based on their own section so, Kinrue's group too. She lines up in the last column, first row and behind is Camie, Ashley and the other three. On her left side, she saw the last person in her mind. Both their gazes met for a few seconds, but they give a death glare before looking away with anger. Until now, she can't believe how heartless and rude he can be.

"Good morning class, today you will going to have a joint class outdoor activity on this subject, Physical Education. Class 11-A and Class 11-B will compete in some activity, both by group and individual. The class who'll receive the most points will get a reward." Mr. Paco said.

"Mr. Paco and I planned to do this kind of activity to encourage you all to partake so, I'm looking forward to your cooperation." Mr. Miller added.

"We will start from the vault box jump, follow by hurdles, relay, 200m sprint and last is dodge ball, where you'll play as an entire section."

"Vault box jump for boys and hurdles for girls. So, all boys will watch over by me on the right side while Mr. Paco will monitor the girls on the left side."

After they discuss everything on this outdoor activity, they separate the boys and girls from left and right. On both corners, there's prepared equipment. There's a five lanes in hurdles with ten stand hurdles with 33 inches in height.

"Okay, we will start with Ms. Freyass, Ms. Haruna from Class 11-A and Ms. Lazaro, Ms. Cienfuegos and Ms. Perez from Class 11-B."

"An opening act? Rue, let us show them we are not just an idiot." Camie mumble, drags both Kinrue and Ashley to line up.

Kinrue follows them and stands in front of the starting line. She's in the middle lane, next to her is Arisa Haruna warming up. She's more dazzling when you are near. Her beauty is on another level. Fair skin, average woman height, hazel brown colored eyes and natural thin red lips. Her cinnamon color twin braid style hair smells good even from a distance.

"Hi. Do I have a dirt on my face?" She asked, it startle her and came back to her senses.

"N-none." she said while shaking her head.

"Get ready. In a cue of three, the woman hurdles will start." Mr. Paco said. "1, 2, 3," He blows the whistle so the five girls run—jumps over the hurdles.

They heard the cheers from the other girls around, supports both Arisa and Gayle, but booed Kinrue's group. Ashley is the first one to trip and get left behind. Camie falls down on the fifth hurdles and just right after her, Kinrue falls down too. The cheers turn to laughter as she watches both representative from Class 11-A continue to lead until they finish all hurdles without fail.

"What's with that stiff body, Kinrue? You're only good at running after your crush..." One of the woman blurted out and laugh follow by the others.

"Tsk. Who cares? I'm not an athletic person. Well, at least I didn't immense myself in black lie." She snaps, rolls her eyes to them and walks to the side while Mr. Paco calls for the next team.

The woman hurdles and man vault box jump continues without major injury, but in the end, Class 11-A gets a lot of scores than Class 11-B.
