<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ffff">Dark watched as Kori was pulled back into her group of friends, a small stone dropped in the pit of her stomach, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(255, 255, 255)">‘What did you expect? You are a freak, and she is a beautiful girl. Her friends are just protecting her from you.’</span>  The small voice in her head whispered as the teacher told everyone to pare up. Dark looked around but knew that no one would volunteer to stretch with her.<br/>
<br/>
The young goth walked to the corner of the gym, this was not the first time she had to stretch out by herself and the teacher never seemed to notest, not that she minded. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">"Get a grip girl! You knew it was going to be like this when you asked to be friends. Just like with Art..." <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ffff">she mumbled.<br/>
<br/>
After a few minutes the teacher called the class together,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(230, 230, 230)"> "All right kids, we are going to split into two teams and have ourselves a little competition!"</span> he said to a chorus of groans. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(230, 230, 230)">"Now, now, don't give me that! You youngsters need to get up and move more often! Now for the captains, Korina, will be one, and let's see," </span>he said as he looked around the class, then smirked, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(230, 230, 230)">"Jared will be the other! This is going to be a multi-stage competition so pick your team and meet me outside at the track and filled!"</span> with that he walked out.<br/>
<br/>
Dark stood there in shock, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">"This is not going to end well," <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ffff">she mumbled as she waited to see which team she would end up on by default.</span></span></span></span></span>
