With her face set and pushed eyebrows close together, she rolled the ball back a few feet. That foul line was a scary line. She would NOT be crossing it, nuh huh. Even if it usually made a cool buzzer noise. "One...two...three!" She took two steps forward and pushed the ball at the pins as hard as she possibly could, teetering on the edge of the line on her tip toes. Jumping back from the line, she craned her neck for a better view of Brooklyn's bowling ball journey.

It wasn’t falling out that Brooklyn was concerned with. She was more determined to keep enough control over her trip in the ball that they could score more points. Besides, falling out couldn’t be that bad. She figured Professor Moxley had taken precautions against that sort of thing. Lessons weren’t supposed to injure them after all, and she’d be out of the ball if she fell out. Nobody could blame her for that.

Except Norah had finished zipping it up, effectively entombing herself in a big plastic ball. Which honestly did remind her of the bubble wrap from the mail lesson in a previous term. At least her bracing had seemed to work. She hadn’t gotten into a completely awkward position as her partner had begun rolling the ball. Of course, it seemed way more careful than she’d been, almost as if there was a fear of going over the line. That was just silly. It wasn’t that hard to stop running.

She’d actually slid sideways a bit as her journey had started in earnest, spinning sideways instead of upside down. Her arms had kept her from crashing down to earth as she’d finally tipped upside down, closing her eyes until she’d felt herself right ways up again. And seeing the pins right in front of her. She tilted forward, almost as if she could roll the ball merely with her body weight. Which was stupid since she hardly weighed that much. it had worked enough that she’d stayed on a slightly straighter course though, skidding sideways the tiniest bit and taking out the four pins toward the left side of the lane and finding herself on her side again once the ball stopped rolling. Squirming a little, she at least found the zipper again, but she waited a second before she even thought about trying it.
