Gabe hated gym class, it was the worst period of the day, he would have rather been stuck in a little room with a bunch of other kids and risk a panic attack then put shorts and a gray t-shirt on and run around a track or throw big red balls at other people. Gabe was not the athletic type, he couldn’t run, he couldn’t jump, he couldn’t throw, and he couldn’t hit anything. This class was made just to embarrass kids like him and it was torture going to that period every other day. He had wanted to skip class, he hadn’t felt good about going but he was told if he skipped any more gym classes he wouldn’t pass the class and would have to take double gym next year. That was the last thing wanted so against his better judgment he got ready and headed out to the gymnasium.
They were doing fitness tests…great. Gabe was not fit, there wasn’t one muscle on his body and if it was possible to fail these tests he would every time. He could do more then ten push ups and sit-ups and couldn’t throw a basketball. He tripped over the jump rope every time and couldn’t run a mile in under nine minutes. He was hopeless when it came to gym. It was time for the pacer so he lined up between two big jocks. He didn’t have any friends in class and he was often the chew toy for the bigger guys in this class. They made fun of his lack of muscle and how his athletic ability was zero, they didn’t pick on him for his disorder or stutter which was a plus but they enjoyed laughing about how they could break him like a tooth pick. So Gabe stood awkwardly between the two as they chuckled to each other. Gabe should have skipped this class he really should have because he hadn’t taken more then a couple strides after the buzzer went off when one of the jocks big feet went out in front of him and Gabes face met the cold hard gym floor with a loud thud.
Gabe was rushed to the hospital with blood pouring out of his nose and a horrible throbbing between his eyes. He had a broken nose and the jocks got two weeks detention, how was that justified? They fixed his nose in about an hour and placed a cast over it, which he had to keep on for the next two weeks. He looked absolutely ridiculous, just adding more awkwardness to Gabe. They asked him who they could call to come get him since he was on pain meds and could not leave without someone and the only person who came to mind was Declan. He felt awful having to call him but he just wanted to go home. So he picked up the phone and dialed Declan, ringing a few times before the older boy picked up.
“H-Hi Dec, could you uh…come pick me up? I-I’m at the hospital”.
