Gym was Lily’s least favorite class. She had never been the physically competitive type. So, playing dodgeball, kickball, basketball, or some other exhaustive game did not particularly excite her. Luckily, she was able to choose her gym activity every two weeks. Lily always choose weight room. Because the teachers would let Lily and her other friends sit and talk in the weight room while the guys would play heated games in the gymnasium.
It was nearing the end of the period. Lily was getting ready to pack her things. She heard yelling down the hall, so she rushed in hopes of avoiding the social traffic. A group of boys passed by the weight room. She met eyes with one of them for only for a second. He went quiet and shushed the rest of the boys. Lily’s heart pumped with a flair of concern. She moved toward the door just as the boy came through the doorway. His built body towered over her. His hand gripped her side in a way that struck fear into her heart. Slowly, he backed her into the room. His two friends followed, locking the door.
“What are you doing?” Lily questioned tensely.
