A girl walked down the halls, not proudly in the center like a popular girl, she walked at the edge of the hallway where less people would see her. She didn't want to be seen where she was going. It was a break so everybody was probably at lunch or something. Nobody should be in the gym. Why would they be? Unlike most people of her social status she wasn't happy with just being a background character, but she was too shy to speak up about it. As the girl got into an empty hallway she started to run.
Where she was going was the guy. Reason being she loved sports, but playing on a team wasn't her forte. She would never be able to play in front of anybody, she got paranoid in front of people who were looking at her. The girl pushed the doors to the gym open and walked it. It was so big and open. She loved it in here. The girl walked over to where the sports equipment was and grabbed a basketball. Time for the real game. Basketball was her favorite sport, but she also did play other sports.
The girl knew how to play basketball, she could probably even beat some of the jocks in it - only some - but she didn't want anybody to know that she played the sport. She dribbled it to center court and shot at the basket. It hit the rim and swirled in. That one was a lucky shot. She might be good, but making a shot from center court was still luck. She smiled and ran to get to ball. She picked it up with a huge smile on her face.
The girl's name was Ash and according to the social status she was a wallflower. She guessed that it make sense that she was one because talking to people was not her best trait. She hated people talking to her and she hated talking to people. The only time people ever talked to her it was people making fun of her for something or other. She didn't want to be popular, it seemed like to popular kids were mean. Ash could be mean if she had to be, but she was in a good mood now so she was approachable.

Onyx was having her lunch break but was not hungry... she did however feel the need to move some. She made her way todays the Gym and before she entered the place, she saw another girl was already inside playing basket ball by herself. She was about as fast and stong as a top Olympic competitor, having actually be out at the Olimpics to compete but never got the chance. She was an exeptionally great sports person, but not at all in basket ball. She soundlessly opened the door and walked in. Onyx watched as the girl shot at the hoop and scored. She watch dozens of Harlem Globetrotters games, actually friending a few of the teams members. She also learned many tricks from them, but was still not too good at actually playing the game.
" Basketball has too many rules and restrictions... but it can be made funny. " She spoke to the girl when she smiled, picking up the ball.

Suddenly a voice spilled into the room, breaking the silence. Ash jumped and held her arms up in front of her in a defensive position. When she noticed that the person wasn't a jock yelling at her she lowered her arms to look at the person. It wasn't a popular or a snob so that meant they weren't going to be mean people and yell at her, but there was always the chance that she would still be yelled at. For a second Ash was silent, but then she ducked her head and walked toward the exit. "I'm sorry." She muttered as she walked past the girl.
Ash had thought that everybody was at lunch! It was the only reason she had chanced coming here even though somebody might notice her and now there was somebody here that would probably think she was stupid, or weird, or an outcast of some sort. Ash wasn't planning on doing anything other than leave and go find some place where she could eat her lunch away from all the people, but of course there was always the chance that the girl would stop here, tell her that she could stay, that she hadn't meant to interrupt on anything or something along those lines, if that happened then maybe Ash would stay.

As the girl dot into a defencive arm pose, Onyx tilted her head and instantly understood. The girl was very shy and did not want to be bugged.
She stood there for a second before the other girl saiw sorry ans tarted walking towards the door.
" Hey... you can stay here if you like, i am sorry if i interruped you... and i dit not mean to scare you... you can keep shooting hoops... i just came in here to kill some time... i am Onyx by the way. " She said smiling gently at her. She looked around and saw another ball that was on the floor. She walked there and icked it off the floor with one hand and after dribbling it she shit it at the hoop, missing it by a few inches.
" i need some practice at this. " Onyx smiled gently as she went over to the ball and picked it up again. She would use her body skills to get a good shot... being 5 feet 3 inches tall did not help her at this sport.

Ash paused at the door as the girl said she could stay. She debated just leaving, but that would be rude. Slowly she walked over and grabbed another ball. When she heard Onix mutter that she needed some pratice at basketball Ash looked over at her. Ash opened her mouth to give her some advice, but then shut it again. She looked down at her sneakers then shot the ball at the basket again, this time closer to the basket, and scored what would be a two-pointer if she were to be playing a game. Ash went over to her ball and picked it up. She then looked over her shoulder at Onix and sighed. "Try bending your knees more and snap your wrist forward when you shoot." Ash muttered.
Ash wasn't too sure what the girl would think of her trying to help her. The girl could be one of the those independant people who hated people helping them, if that was the case then Ash might just be leaving right here and now. She disliked mean people. She didn't really hate anybody, just disliked them. People hated her, but she didn't hate people. She wasn't a person who hated everything about life. Ash pursed her lips and turned back to the basket. She shot the ball again and it swirled around the rim a few times then went in. She smiled then looked over to see how Onix was doing.

She looked at the girl when she spoke and nodded. She did as the girl told her. She shot the ball at the hoop but still missed the hoop a bit. She then said
"Not bad... getting better... thak you for the tip... every sport had tiny things to them." Onyx smiled at the girl.
She then bagan to run around at near Olimpic speeds effortlessly and dribbled the ball, going in circles and circles suddenly when she was near the hoop she leaped up and made a nice 3 pointer, and doing a gracefull landing.
Suddenly she heard the door of the Gym open and 3 people walked in.
" Hey you two... beat it wimps... especially you, wallflower! " one of them called out. Onyx stood up and moved in front of the girl, protecting her.
" People have names... memorize them! and i do not tolerate bullies ".
" What was that, old runt?! " the main guy barked.
Onyx stepped a step closer.
" You heard me, kiddo. " She spoke and calculated how to hit two of them with the ball. She threw the ball so it boundec off from two of there faces, with the power of the throw making them fall down. gently turning her head she grinned towards the girl.
" Is that a two or 3 pointer? " Onyx joked, still more paying attention to the thug.

Ash smiled as the girl thanked her and then ran around the gym. Wow, she was really fast! Ash wondered how she got so fast. Ash would probably never get that fast, maybe one day, but not today. As Ash watched as Onix ran around the gym and then shot on the basket three guys burst into the gym. "...especially you, wallflower!" Ash realized that he was talking about her and almost instantly walked for the doors, but then Onix was in front of her... Protecting her? Wow, umm.... that was a new one. Ash had never been protected before and what happened next truly stunned her.
Onix threw the ball... and it hit two of them, knocking them over in the doing. That... was awesome. Ash was quite stunned actually, for somebody who could harly make a basket how had she hit them both down with one shot? It was amazing, plain and simple Ash would have never thought of doing that. When Onix asked her if it was a two pointer or a three Ash laughed. "Definatly a three-pointer." Ash muttered with a smile. This person was starting to grow on Ash. Maybe they could be friends.

Onyx noded towards the girl and turned back to the main guy who took a step backwards. Enen despite the guy being much bigger then Onyx, she grabbed him and shoved him away, making him aslo stumble and fall. "Apologize! " She barked using her military self.
Sorry man... sheese... people can not even take a joke?! Come on." he got up and angrily collected his friends. Just before leaving the Gym he turned back and glared at Onyx.
" watch your back runt... wait till we are outside. " He warned Onyx.
" anytime, kiddo! " She replied coldly and turned back towards her ball. She whent over and picked it up as if nothing had happened.
She then started singing a popular AC/DC song in almost the same voice as Brian. It was pretty hard but it was practice for her for tomorrow's concert.
