*Tess runs as fast as she can. Rachel glares as Tess runs by.*
Rachel:

*Jay notices that the ball has been rolled back to him.*

*Jay picks up the ball with a nasty look.*
Jay:
Jay: Heh..

*Tess looks relieved as she nears first base. The band t-shirt boy watches her.*
Tess: Almost there!
Band t-shirt boy:

*Tess stops as the ball slams into the back of her head.*
Band t-shirt boy smiles.*
Tess: Nghh!

*Lucy, safe at second base behind the fielder, watches Tess get hit.*
Lucy: What the hell?
[An arrow, pointed to the ground below Lucy: Second base]
Fielder: HAHA HAHA HAHAHA HAHA
Gym teacher: YOU’RE OUT!!

*The fielder and Lucy are still at second base.*
Fielder: Well deserved.. Stupid bitch..
Students: hahaha hahah
*Lucy looks up at the fielder, frowning.*
Lucy (thinking): Huh..?

*The gym teacher crosses her arms over her chest.*
Gym teacher: Jay, you knock opponents out by throwing the ball to the base catcher, not their heads. Nice shot, though.
Jay: Heh, sorry..

*Jay scratches the back of his head, smiling.*
Jay: Just an innocent mistake. My bad~

*Tess stands alone against a background of shadowy students. She’s not looking at any of them.*
Gym teacher: The damage is done.. go back to your team, Tessa..
Students: Haha, yeah. Get right back there, girlie ♥ Loser!
*Tess closes her eyes and puts on a defeated smile.*
Tess: Yeah, yeah..

*Tess passes Paulo, who’s gritting his teeth and shaking with rage.*
Jay: You’re up next, Paulo!
Students: She’s so weak now!
Paulo:
*Tess looks at Paulo with concern.*
Tess:

*Jay, holding the ball at the ready, smiles smugly.*
Jay: Hmph..

*Paulo looks determined. Abbey and Amaya stand at the wall behind him. Amaya looks at Paulo, worried. Abbey has his arms crossed and eyes closed.*
Paulo:

*The ball quickly rolls toward Paulo.*

*Paulo focuses on the ball.*

*Paulo kicks the ball with all his might.*
Paulo: Nghh!!

*Mike jumps for the ball but misses as it sails way over his head.*
Mike: Ughh!

*Lucy and the fielder stand at second base, shocked, watching the ball fly through the air.*
Lucy: !

Author commentary

Veronica: All’s well that ends well.. except not.

I’ve been smacked before by balls during kickball in order to get me out.. although it was on my back at the worst. Which wasn’t too bad, honestly! Unlike poor Tess.

Lucy gets a taste of the anger within the sophomores.. why are they so mad..

Those sophomores are like some kind of hive mind. It’s pretty accurate how you’ve played this out, Taeshi.
