Chapter 1523: Miss Payne made a move

Later that afternoon…

Sarah and Aiden are playing dodge ball. Opposing teams are boys vs girls.

Sarah and Aiden are captains of their respective teams, playing against each other. They don't like to play against each other because both are extremely competitive and end up bickering, but this is an exception. The kids asked them to play and if Sarah and Aiden are on the same team, the winner would be known before the match started.

The girls' team has Sarah, Masika, Hande, and Zula.

The boys' team has Aiden, Ade, Julius, Tejan, and Nico.

They started with ten team members each, but others are out because they hot hit by a water-filled balloon which they are using instead of the ball.

The rules state that it's a valid move for a person to catch the balloon (without breaking it) and hurl it toward the opposing team. If it breaks, then another water-filled balloon is used. If the balloon breaks against the player, that player is out.
