Chapter 119 - Intramural Games(1)
Su Xiaofei pushed her thoughts about the Yun family, expecting that they were the ones who would seek her for their next meeting. She had spent the following days watching her other classmates chattering about the upcoming founding ball.
The founding day was fast approaching, but before that, the students of the academy had to participate in the intrams, with the members of the varsity sports team barred from playing in the sports events.
Each year and sections coming from all levels were required to participate, leaving Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian no choice but to join their other classmates to form a team with them. Students were asked to play a single activity.
Su Xiaofei was wearing her P.E. uniform, which was just a white shirt with the school logo printed on the right side of her chest paired with a pair of black jogger pants with two red stripes that ran from her waist down to her legs.
She was tying her long hair into a tight bun on top of her head to keep it away from her face when Xi Qian came back from changing out of her school uniform.
"I can't believe I have to miss work just to play for the intrams." Xi Qian muttered with irritation. This meant one less day of salary on her next pay day.
Su Xiaofei felt bad for Xi Qian, but couldn't do anything about it as their participation in the intrams would give them extra merits for their classes that were suspended to give way for the celebration of the founding anniversary.
Since Xi Qian was attending the academy on a scholarship, these extra merits would allow her to keep her grades high. So she had no choice but to join the rest of their class at the open court where they waited for the teacher who would supervise the game.
"Feifei, what activity did you sign up to play today?" Xi Qian asked while they sat on the bench, watching the other students arrive one after another.
She knew that Su Xiaofei wasn't interested in any sports and for the past intrams games, Su Xiaofei didn't even bother to participate, pulling her grades down to almost a passing grade. It was surprising that she was able to ascend one grade level with her poor results.
Xi Qian thought that Su Xiaofei would enlist herself to play chess this time, since she had seen her best friend playing chess more these days with Lu Qingfeng in their spare time.
"Dodgeball." Su Xiaofei grinned mischievously. She liked to see and hear her female classmates scream in fear as they tried to dodge the ball that was about to hit them.
"Dodgeball?" Xi Qian blinked as she looked at Su Xiaofei in surprise. Why would Feifei choose that game?
Anyway, since Su Xiaofei had chosen it, Xi Qian hurriedly went and enlist her name to join their class's team for dodgeball. There must be a reason why Su Xiaofei chose to play dodgeball this time, or perhaps, she had already taken Lu Qingfeng's suggestion to work out rather than starving herself to keep her figure.
However, as soon as she saw the rival team, Xi Qian realized that Ye Mingyu was on the other team. Was this why Feifei chose to join the dodgeball team? Xi Qian wondered. She didn't think Feifei was athletic enough to play an active game like this.
Just like her, it seemed like Ye Mingyu was caught off guard when she spotted Su Xiaofei on the other side of the court. She felt a shiver run down her spine as she found Su Xiaofei smiling sweetly towards them, as if she was promising to inflict pain on her.
Even Feng Xue'er who was seated in the audience area was startled when she saw Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian playing for their class's dodgeball team.
"This is the first time I see Su Xiaofei actively participating in the intrams games." One of their classmates, a young man, stated. "Why do I feel like Su Xiaofei has changed overnight? She doesn't seem like the same arrogant miss she's been."
"Now that you've mentioned it, indeed, Su Xiaofei looks different these days. She looked reserved and not as annoying anymore. Do you think she realized how bad her reputation is, so that's why she's trying to change?" Another one replied.
"Hmm… It's hard to tell, but if she did, then it would only infuriate Feng Xue'er, don't you think?" The first young man snickered as he shot Feng Xue'er a look, seeing her ugly expression as she looked at Su Xiaofei on the court.
In their class, whoever that's not aware of Feng Xue'er's hostility towards Su Xiaofei was definitely a spy, as those two were at each other's throats since the very beginning.
"Pfft, who cares about those two young misses? We only came here to see if they would be able to beat those from Class 3-1A and kick their asses." Another one commented, which turned out to be Song Yiran, arriving with his group of friends to watch their classmates' dodgeball game against Ye Mingyu and her classmates.
"Right. We better win this game as this is the only chance we have to beat them."
In a few months, they were all going to graduate soon, so they only have one shot now to defeat the Class 3-1A that they all mutually disliked.
Ye Mingyu was from Class 3-1A while Su Xiaofei, Xi Qian and Feng Xue'er were all from Class 3-1E, which was lower ranking than Ye Mingyu's class.
Class 3-1A was considered to be the cream of the crop. Many students from the lower ranked classes saw them as arrogant geeks who looked down on students that weren't part of their small elite group. For this reason, the students from the lower ranked classes had only one chance throughout the school year to defeat Class 3-1A and that was during the intram games.
The game started as soon as the teacher signalled its start.
