Chapter 21

Jeremy hated sports. To be precise, anything that made him mingle with more than three people was unwelcoming. Which is why when he was selected along with Kyle and Mandy in a team of six against another team in a game of dodgeball, he wished the floor could open up and swallow him. 

And to make it worse, Hank and Lucy happened to be in the opposing team. Jeremy even considered it a miracle that he, Mandy and Kyle remained in the game while three of his teammates were eliminated. Then again, he spent most of the time hiding behind his teammates,using them as shields for the incoming dodgeball projectiles. 

Kyle in part, had singlehandedly eliminated four members of the opposing team while, Mandy smugly spent her time dodging.  

It was down to two against three. Hank and Lucy against Kyle,Jeremy and Mandy. Jeremy however, cowered behind Kyle.

"Really,dude?" Kyle scowled and reached behind him, pulling Jeremy into view. "Stop hiding and be a man."<
