Chapter 8 - New friends and discoveries?

It was a battlefield balls were flying everywhere left and right some girls went down. Some guys went down zeta and the popular girl dodged as furiously as possible while also taking a moment each to steer me out of the way because every every once in awhile someone realizes she's an easy target and tries to aim at her.

Then there are the three stooges, the big guy and his goons who are always trying to aim for one of us, but they primarily Target? Mia.

Popular girl: maybe it's for the best that we let her get eliminated.

Think about it while touching a couple of incoming balls.

Instinct: no way girls got to get as much exercise as she can with her level of lack in hand eye coordination. Someone's bound to get hurt in the future.

Zeta: she's too clumsy we need. We're going to stay in to get as much exercise as possible to help improve her survival rate.

The popular girl tilted her head but just shrugged it off in continuation of the current plan.

But the balls just kept coming with more vigor. Some of the more athletic girls kept returning the balls back taking off water after another guys but their side was losing in the numbers game.

Logic: this war of attrition will not end well. Your numbers are dropping faster than theirs are at this rate. It's three girls for every girl one guy.

Instinct: all right, I'm increasing the physical ability limit. I'm not losing to those losers.

Not those words. They just started to feel a bit lighter. She moved a bit further away snatching a ball sniping thrower before they could even react. Giving him eliminated, they rolled back over to pull me Adele before a ball almost hit her head. The popular girl was surprised by her level of athleticism.

Popular girls: have you been holding back.

Zeta: no it takes me awhile to get warmed up that because I can't go too overboard or I might overheat. medical condition at all.

She lied in response to the question then immediately for the ball and at the popular girl and sent it flying back at the boy who threw it the point I sent you to dodge but it raised his shoulder.

Logic: you're not throwing optimally. You need to throw where they're going to be, not where they are.

Instinct: when in doubt aim for the feet. You always know where the fee are going to be.

Zeta started to notice that the three of them were starting to sync up which would be good and who knows if they were trying to become high gear or act as high gear. But in this situation it would be bad if they started generating electricity. She took a minute to catch her breath and the synchronous before something bad happened. Then a ball almost hit her But the popular girl caught it. Zeta thanked the popular girl for the save but she just waved it off and then threw the ball to hit one of the guys.

Funny enough she managed to hit him in the feet.

Logic: now the number is one to one. The trade is fair.

Instinct: who cares about fair I'm not losing to these weeklings to take out more.

Zeta caught a stray that was launched at Mia from one of the three annoyances on the employee side. She slung it back but to her surprise a random boy tripped running away from a different ball and got hit in the face with that ball.

I annoyed by that. She dashed off wrapped two balls that almost hit the more athletic girls. The the big guy and one of the smaller ones. The small guy got hit but the big guy go find the other girl and he also got hit.

Seeing what zeta was doing, the other girls started hue join in all quilting towards the big guy but instead of dodging he surprisingly caught them. Dropping them to the ground to catch another. At that point girls started dropping like flies they didn't. The popular girl didn't join in realizing what this was going. Instead picking off the straggler guys that tort paying attention to their surroundings.

Of course she noticed a bit too late that had a ball coming straight towards her without thinking zeta dashed to intercept it. Of course the ball hitter in an awkward position so she didn't have an opportunity to catch the ball without doing something unnatural and was out however Mia was still in the game.

The popular girl was looking nervous though, but zeta around keeping me up in the game was rather easy but now that she was gone it was all on her.

Popular girl: can you please move around a bit more your deer in the headlight routine is starting to affect our wind.

Mia: I'm trying. It's hard to read what they're doing and where the ball's going to come.

Popular girl: it's not that hard. Just look at their feet to know where they're going. Look at the angle of their swing to know which direction not to move in.

While talking the popular girl Dodge several balls dragging me along the way and then picked up a ball off the ground and pelted it towards one of the guys.

The game is nearing end there were three girls left one guy and the guy was bulking and pretty capable of catching The ball. Meaning if they throw it at the room angle they would be out instead. Pledging teacher was watching The match like a hawk.

Mia was looking around nervous hoping she wasn't the one who was next to get hit. She then spotted zeta out the corner of her eye melting something. She tried paying her clothes, attention what she was saying.

The big guy threw the ball towards the popular girl, Mia's eyes and Daryl due to determination. She came with all her might towards the popular girl.

She pushed her out of the way and drink the ball before falling down look. Probably the girl looked at her confused. She had that she didn't need saving, but she was kind of happy that Mia actually caught a ball it was the only ball she caught this game but she caught something which wouldn't be progress.

Mia them through the ball with all her might, but her for farm was so terrible. The biologist curved higher and higher into the air until it flew into the light. Everyone was watching blindsided even the bulkhead and then he was surprised when the ball appeared out of nowhere and thunked him on the head. He didn't chance to catch it since it rolled off of his back.

Everyone, including the gym teacher and me and herself was surprise except for zeta mini may think she cheated now. Zeta didn't cheat the reason why she wasn't surprised was because UV visual mode contact lens that can normally be produced in the high gear armor while it's normally used with the high gear armor, the actual lenses could be produced anytime through baby her bracelet without activating the gear Riser well everyone was distracted by the bright light. Not noticing the ball had flown past the light zeta was able to see it curved through the air and laying straight on that guy's head.

With that, the girls were declared the winners.

When everyone had to get dressed for next. As Mia sobbing with PTSD from the game being confused by and say to exit ing the changing room they were both a surprised to see the popular girl waiting outside they both thought she would have gone with the crowd of other popular girls to whatever thing they were doing. Next that puppy of girls do makeup? They both thought.

Logic: the student handbook specifically says that no student male or female can wear makeup for any reason. He goes against the ethics code.

Instinct: nerd!

Popular girl: I was waiting for you figured we would all go to class together.

Zeta was about to speak but she doesn't remember her name. She doesn't even know if she asked.

Instinct: her name is super soldier geez is your memory that bad.

Zeta: your name is super soldier?

She said with a bit of uncertainty the girl was agitated. Then whacked right upside the head zeta pretended to be her early subtly glaring at instinct.

Instinct: no one wants to be friends with someone too nervous. They'll insult them to say anything.

Logic: that does that mean you're supposed to go ahead and insult them.

Lacey: The name is Lacey don't you forget it and I'm not a super soldier of anything. I'm mad as athletic as you are surprisingly.

Mia, Ben looked to zeta as well.

Mia: actually I'm surprised too. You struck me as an intellectual yet you're so athletic.

Zeta: contrary to popular belief, money intellectuals are athletic. In fact, a lot of people in research-based fields are athletic. They don't believe that it's important to stay up at it to breathe. A healthy mind and of course people in the fields are robotics in engineering. Need to be athletic to move some of the heavier parts around. Otherwise you have to waste a lot of money on labor.

Is what she repeated from logic Paraphrasing a bit. Mia was shocked by this Revelation. Lacey wasn't in shock but this didn't really interest her.

Lacey then pulled out her phone.

Lacey: actually, as a token of our new friendship I was thinking we'd exchange contacts.

Zeta and Mia: were friends now!

Lacey looked at then but it hurt.

Lacey: I thought we bonded back there was I wrong.

They both reflected on the past events and then they both are nodded Mia a bit more uncertainly.

Zeta and Mia: I guess we did.

The two pulled out their phones but just as Xena was about to turn it on to add new contacts. She noticed something on her home screen and new icon. It was a folder labeled gears not wanting to act weird. She continued on and then notice something else alarming. She never got Mia's contact info.

Mia: right? I never really got your contact info did I?

With that, the three exchange of contact information birthing their friendship.

Logic:( it's working this should help push back the remnants of the hypnosis.)
