Chapter 12 - It was an accident

(The game of dodgeball continues.)

JUWON

So, here's the plan guys. We have 2 already eliminated on our side and we can't bring Lisa in yet.

TOP

So, what's the plan? We go for Justin?

HAKI

We already know that Justin is good at playing dodgeball. So that's a no.

BEN

Then we should eliminate those who're weak.

ABBY

That's a good idea.

JUWON

Then who should we eliminate first?

TOP

Sukini.

TIFFANY

Yeah. He looks the weakest in that group.

JENNIFER

And next is Khloe.

JUWON

Yeah. If we target Khloe. Pretty boy would try to sacrifice himself to save her. And then we eliminate her.

HAKI

And it's goodbye Romeo and Juliet.

JUWON

Let's do this.

(On Team B side.)

JUSTIN

They're already plotting on who to eliminate.

JUHI

I guess they're already targeting on those who're weak.

ASHLEY

And the weak one in our group is…

(They turn to Sukini.)

SUKINI

What?!

FABLO

Sorry boy. You're the weak one in this team.

SUKINI

What?! Me weak? Do I look weak?

MADDIE

Well, you have the muscles of a mosquito. So that makes you weak.

(The others on Team B are not trying to laugh.)

SUKINI

Mosquito muscles?! I don't have mosquito muscles. I'll show you that I'm stronger than most of you.

GRACE

Okay. Go and knock out the members of Team A. Here's a ball.

SUKINI

Okay. Here goes nothing.

(He takes the ball and looks at Team A. Team A looks like they're preying on him like predators. His legs start to shake.)

SUKINI

[Oh no. Why do they look so scary? Are they going to kill me? No way. This is a game of dodgeball. They won't kill me. It's just a friendly match.]

KHLOE

What are you waiting for doofus? Knock out one of them? 2 members from their team is already down!

SUKINI

[Yeah! 2 members from their team are already down. We're clearly on the advantage. Then I can knock one down. You know in My Hero Academy they always say one word and it is…]

(He takes a stand and positions himself.)

SUKINI

PLUS… ULTRA!

(He aims to throw the ball at Juwon who catches it and knocks him out to the wall. And then other balls knock him down.)

STEWART, CLIVE & KEVIN

That must've hurt.

JUWON

That's one down.

TOP

Hahahahaha! What the hell was he saying? Plus ultra. Where did he learn that word?

BEN

From an anime.

TOP

Hahahahaha! You mean those Japanese cartoons. Those are for kids.

BEN

Some might not be for kids.

TOP

Who cares a cartoon is a cartoon?

TIFFANY

Top! Look out!

(The ball knocks him in the face.)

TOP

Ack! Who did that?!

FABLO

Never let your guard down.

TOP

You Fabulous jerk!

CLIVE

That's what you get from using me as a human shield! Instant Karma! Hahahahaha!

TOP

Shut up Clive! You're nothing but a side character with limited screen time.

STUDENTS

Ohhhhhh! What did he say????!

MADE

Quiet down everyone.

HANNA

I guess I should get in.

STEWART

No. I'll go in. I will avenge you Sukini.

(He steps in.)

STEWART

You're dead meat Kim Juwon.

JUWON

You think you can take me down. In your dreams. I'm the writer's favorite character. That makes me having infinite plot armor.

(Justin throws the ball at him and knocks him out.)

JUWON

Fuck!

ABBY

I guess Justin is the MC now.

THE REST OF THE CLASS

Yeah, sure.

LISA

I'm going in.

(The game of dodgeball continues. Ben knocks Maddie out in the stomach.)

MADDIE

Ah!

(She crouches down and starts to cry.)

ASHLEY

Maddie are you alright?

JUHI

Look, what you've done Ben? You hurt her.

BEN

I swear it was an accident.

GRACE

Now you're our target.

(Khloe, Juhi, Ashley and Grace lock their eyes on Ben. As Hanna comforts Maddie.

BEN

I'm dead.
