The whistle finally blew and Michael began to walk towards the fence. After everyone one of these hard practices, he asked himself if a scholarship running track was even worth it.
As he sat down against the fence to get his sweats on, his best friends Alex and Darnell walked up already dressed.
"Hey Mike, are you going to study hall now? Or are you going to eat first?" asked Alex.
"I'm gonna stay out here and stretch for a bit. My legs are so tight right now. If I don't stretch out I will hate myself tomorrow," replied Michael.
"Besides Darnell, didn't coach say you have to go straight to study hall from practice because you're a dumb ass and your grades suck?"
Darnell glared at him with mock anger. "Hey, not all of us can have a fake ass major like English you jack ass. Some of us actually have to work for good grades."
"Yeah well you obviously aren't working for those grades with that 2.4 gpa you're sporting right now," laughed Michael. "Besides, with my English major I will..."
"You'll be able to become a teacher and impact the next generation. Blah blah blah. Heard it all before. Whatever posterboy. We're going to eat. Besides, I'm not worried about coach. He isn't gonna do shit. He's all talk." Darnell pointed towards the other side of the track. "I don't think he will be focused on me anyway. Not with Megan pissing him off again."
Michael turned around to see what Darnell was talking about. Down on the other side of the track, Megan Rose was in another one of her heated arguments with Coach Davis. She probably had more potential than anyone on the team but because she was so damn stubborn and uncoachable, that potential would never develop. There was no one on the team that he didn't like except for her.
"Anyway, we're outta here. Catch up with us when you're done" Alex said, snapping Michael out of his thoughts.
"Alright. I'll see you in a bit."
As Alex and Darnell walked off, Michael finished getting his sweats on and started to stretch. After about 10 minutes had passed, Coach Davis stormed off towards the offices and Megan began to head towards where Michael was stretching. Realizing that Megan's bag and clothes were over by him, Michael cursed himself for not moving somewhere else. He looked up as Megan walked past him. As their eyes met for a moment, she scowled at him.
"What the hell are you looking at?" she demanded as she grabbed her bag.
"Nothing but a waste of talent" Michael quipped.
"What did you just say?!" she asked, whirling back around with fury on her face.
"I know I didn't stutter," said Michael as he continued to stretch. "Wouldn't it be better for you to just admit it than argue about it?"
Walking up to Michael, Megan pushed him backwards.
"You need to watch your damn mouth." She said as Michael caught himself on the fence.
He straightened up and stood up in front of Megan. To anyone who was watching this exchange, right about now is probably when things started to look foolish.
Michael was well aware of the fact that he was not a small guy. Standing at 5'11" and weighing a solid 210 of pure muscle, he probably looked like he was picking a fight with a child. Megan stood a petite 5'2 and couldn't weigh more than 115.
"Or what Megan?" Michael asked as he stood in front of her.
Megan's face tightened and all of a sudden one of her balled fists flew at Michael. Shocked but unworried, he caught her tiny fist in his hand, pulled her into his body while spinning her around and pinned her against his chest. Upon being trapped, she started to kick and wiggle trying to get free. Michael lifted her off of the ground to take away her base and let her kick and fight. After a few moments, Megan realized her predicament and stopped squirming.
Michael leaned down next to Megan's ear.
