just a story I am working on
Chapter 1

Stepping out of his blue mustang, Roc adjusted his gray hoodie and zipped it.
Glancing at his reflection on the car's window, unzips the hoodie. He reached into the car and pulled out his gray hat and place it on his head, hiding most of his short black hair from view.

Roc closed the to door to his car and started toward the main building of the school. Two groups huddled by the main entrance, one group on each side. Roc ignored them, and continued into the building., and headed down the left hall to his locker.

As he neared his locker, he noticed two figures leaning against the lockers next to his.

The first of the two figures dawned a blue hoodie, which partially covered his black t-shirt underneath, he also had a blue hat, that matched his hoodie.

The second wore a similar hoodie and hat except they were red. The t-shirt was black matching the first figures and Roc's.

Roc stopped beside teh two, who moved to a standing position, as Roc fumbled with the combination lock on his locker.

"How was your weekend, Roc?" The blue one said

"It was the weekend, Ron" Roc answered finally getting his locker open.

"How about you?, Ted?" Ron asked turning his attention to the red one.

"It was so and so, I get my car tomorrow." Ted returned.

Roc turned and pulled off his hat and said "Bell rings in less than a minute, if your hats on after the bell, teachers will take it, so go ahead and put them in my locker." and held out his hand.

Ted and Ron instantly handed the hats over and watched as Roc sat them in his locker. No sooner had Roc closed the door  than the bell rang.

"Lets meet here after school." Roc said as Ron and Ted turned and started off to class. They both nodded to show that they had heard and agreed.

Roc turned and started off in the other direction.

Not even a minute later he entered the gym, after setting his backpack down. He continued to the locker room, grabbed his gym clothes, and changed out.

He left the lockerroom and fell in with the people about to start thier morning lap.

After finishing his lap, he sat on the bleachers, taking a break while the others finished thier laps. As the last few strangled in, Coach Bill entered the gym. He had a slight athletic build and was about six feet tall.

"We are playing dodge ball today" He said in a gruff voice. "This half, right side of the court, The rest of you left side of the court."

As the players moved to their positions, Coach Bill grabbed a cart full of balls, and placed them on the thick black line in the center of the court. Each team lined up against oppisite walls. Impatiently waiting to know someones brains out.

The coach reached the sideline, turned and blew his  whistle.

everyone started toward the center of a thunderous roar.

skidding to  a halt Roc bends down adn grabs a rubber ball, and turned to run back and touch his wall.

The thunderous roar slowly struttered to a stop, with everyone poised to start.
Another  whistle started the match. Roc instantly fell back in ran behind two of his teammates. They propelled thier balls over the halfway court, elimanating some of the slower players. Roc sidestepped to the right from behind the player he had chosen as a defender. He took quick aim and lobbed his ball and knocked the air from a opponent.

Two balls flew back across the line, one headed for him.

Roc made a quick accesment of the ball deciding it wasn't worth tryin to catch. It was travelling to fast. Roc dodged to the right putting himself in a group of teammates. One of them thrust a ball into his hands.

Roc loosened himself from the group giving himself room to calculate a throw.
The team numbers had dwindled leaving him exposed after he left the group of teammates.

A volley of balls came his way with precious little time he directed his ball to the right at a player, who dodged as Roc had hoped allowing the ball to make contact with the bleachers bouncing off and eliminating a unsuspecting memeber of the team.

Roc took a step forward to brace himself for impact of the balls, and slipped forward, landing on his stomach. He quickly got up only to be greeted by a ball to the side of the head. sending him reeling backwards.
After seating himself on the bleachers and sat and watched as the last few members of his team were picked off one by one. They had lost, not that his team ever won.

After a short rest everyone changed back to thier clothes. Roc had just picked up his backpack when the bell rang. He left the gym and started toward his second period class.

Roc seated himself in his seat, and pulled his notebook from his backpack. He opened it and retrieved a piece of paper and a pencil and commeenced doodling .
A minute or two later the bell rang, and Mr. Camp entered from the hall. He seated himself at his computer, and started calling off the roll, and was answered with "here" after "here".

They weren't doing anything today so Roc, laid his head on his desk, and fell asleep.
