Ying Xuan reached the fifth floor and entered the basketball court. She was disappointed to see that there were no students playing there. The court was empty.
Xuan sighed, "I had really hoped to see some students in action. Well, whatever."
She spied some balls on the edge of the court. Xuan picked up one and began to dribble. She ran the length of the court while dribbling and attempted a few shoots.
After ten minutes, Ying Xuan stopped, panting, leaning on her knees.
"Whoo, I'm really out of shape. I need to start doing some exercises." Xuan thought as she wiped her forehead on her sleeve, took out a hair-tie and tied her hair in a bun.
She looked at her watch, "Five minutes. I'll just shoot two hoopes."
Ying Xuan ran the length of the court while dribbling, zigzaging as though avoiding players. She shot, and the ball went inside the basket with a ping.
Ying Xuan caught the ball and turned around. She was standing in the middle of the court. "Hmm....half court shot." Ying Xuan shouted in her mind as she took aim and shot.
The ball hit the board behind the basket, a good few inches away from the basket.
"Oh well, it's not like I'm in a movie. Whatever I wish will happen." She kept talking to herself as Xuan kept the ball back, picked up her bag and hurried out.
While on her way, she received a message from Shi Weiwei asking where she was.
Ying Xuan typed, 'Where are you guys? I'll come find you."
Shi Weiwei: 'We're just outside the main building."
Ying Xuan: 'I'll be there in five.'
Five minutes later.....
Ying Xuan caught sight of Shi Weiwei and Lu Zuan standing in front of the main building.
She hurried upto them.
Lu Zuan turned around, "Where were you?"
Ying Xuan: "I was just at the gym building."
Lu Zuan: "Gym building? What were you doing there?"
Shi Weiwei also caught up, "Gym building?"
Ying Xuan waved her hands and signed, "We'll talk later. I'll be late for my class."
And she hurried off.
Looking at her retreating figure, Shi Weiwei said, "We didn't get to ask why she was behaving like that in class."
Lu Zuan rolled her eyes, "Are you dumb? She was trying to get in detention."
Shi Weiwei was shocked, "Trying? Why?"
Lu Zuan flicked her forehead, "For you, of course."
Shi Weiwei put her hands to her forehead as she came to a realisation, "No. She did not just do that."
Lu Zuan: "Apparently she did. Now come on. I don't want to be late for linguistics."
Shi Weiwei: "Yeah. I've got literature."
Lu Zuan: " I can't believe you chose literature as your second major."
Shi Weiwei: "Says the girl who has linguistics as her major."
Lu Zuan chuckled, "Well said, let's go."
Ying Xuan's fashion designing class was her last class for the day. It was rather an enjoyable class. Though the teacher did not let them try anything practical that day, and only explained the latest trends and what not, Ying Xuan listened attentively and enjoyed, sometimes even taking notes.
