Tennis War

I exited the airlock and stepped into the Bubble. The Bubble is a massive white dome with four inside Tennis courts. Most of my class was already there, including my two best friends Payton and Russell, who were hovering over my crush Adam. Adam didn’t know I liked him, he cared for looks and money, I didn’t have either. Every time I saw him though my heart would dance and speed up, I liked him a lot. Adam flashed me a smile while Payton and Russell waved and said “Hi Skylla.” At the same time. Adam laughed and so did I, they both looked down embarrassed. “We’ll look who finally showed up!” A voice sneered. I turned to see my enemy Veronica leaning on the Top Court net. “Veronica.” I said politely nodding my head to her. The sneer slowly melted off her face. Usually I argued with her but I didn’t feel like it today. Our teacher Coach Caleb entered before she could say anything. “Bump to 21 groundies! Team tennis, pick a partner and get to it!” He yelled as he set down his tennis bag. I set down mine as well, and partnered up with Derek, a tall kid with black hair and a white hat. We walked to Bottom Court and began playing against Russell and Adam.
