Chapter 5

“Yes Doc?” I gulped. He walked around and he looked at me closely. He then grabbed my wrist and gave his evil look.

Tell Me. Why is a girl studying in an all-boys’ school??” he accused. I was shocked and I directly objected.

“What are you talking about? It’s nonsense! I have to go.” I told him.

He grabbed my hand again and told me, “You look like a girl. I will know it by just looking at your wrist.” He held my right wrist and squeezed it tightly. I got up and took my shoes.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about but I’m a guy.” I hurriedly went out to the infirmary and closed the door. How did he know it? Yeah, I know he’s a doctor but… ughhhhh

I have to avoid him, he’s a threat maybe he’ll tell the administration and I’ll get kicked out. AHHHH!!! NOT NOW!

It’s time for us to plan for the yearly athletics’ day. The people from dorm 2 gathered in the lobby area of our dorm. Gerry told us who will play in different events.

“This year, we will win again. We will beat dorms 1 and 3. If we work together and practice, then hahahahaha the trophy is ours once again.” He told us. We all cheered and are ready to battle. But first, we practiced… uhm maybe a little bit of some events? Oh well, the events will be: first, soccer, then tennis, then high jump, then followed by 400m relay and lastly, marathon.

Everyone should participate in this activity.

“Niall, you will be the representative in high jump.” Gerry told him as he looked at Niall.

Niall stared carefully to Gerry and said, “I won’t join.” He stood up and left the team. Gerry tried to run after him but the lads stopped him to.

“He’s too much.” Gerry said. “Brian, replace him in high jumping.” He once told.

I frowned and looked down. Seems like Niall doesn’t want to jump anymore. But I won’t stop. I will encourage him… I will and I should.

-ALTHLETIC S’ DAY-

This is the day all of the students in Xavier High has been waiting for. The Athletics’ Day. Everybody assembled at the school ground. Principal Spencer started his opening remarks. Blaahhh….

Show sportsmanship and don’t cheat in any kind of event. So students of Xavier High, LET THE GAMES BEGIN!” he instructed.

Everyone yelled because of excitement. The three dorms are going to compete in different events. The most number of wins will be this years’ winner. I hope we will. First event, soccer.

Lyndon and my other dorm mates played in this event. We are all cheering for them and are nervous who will win in this event.

-Lyndon’s POV- (yey! Finally!!!)

Last 10 minutes of the game and still the score is 0-0. My other mates are depending on me, we gotta win this, we will win. I looked at my team and see everybody cheering. I can see Andy… bringing a banner with my name on in. “GO LYNDON! YOU CAN DO IT!!!” it says. His cheerful and happy face. Softy is so cute! I think---. Fuck. I gotta focus in the game. Lyndon, stop thinking about Andy. He’s a guy like you!

I focused on the game and finally, at the last two minutes, I goaled!

“Wooooh hooooo!!!! WE DID IT!!!” my mates are running down to me and cheered. Raw score for the dorm team, 0-1-0. I looked at Andy and can see him in a bloomy way, his smile and his laugh makes me drool. I spanked myself to wake up to reality. I shook my head again and again to stop what I’m thinking.

-Andy’s POV-

We won on the first event, soccer; so we have 1 point. Next event, tennis. Damn, we lost. Dorm 3 won in this event, ghawd I hate it.

Oh yeah, we lost in high jump. Sad. Brian wasn’t able to make it further. Dorm 1 won and now they’re leading. I don’t wanna talk about it so yeah… we lost 1-1-2.

Now it’s time for the relay, I joined in this event but I was first in line. The referee blew the whistle to signal us. I started to run as fast as  I could and luckily, arrived the first. Then my other team mates are running for it. We won in the relay. Bawahahahah 1-2-1 score bammm.

Time for the last event of the day… the marathon.

“Okay, lads, this is it. If we win the marathon, we will get the win for the second time.” Gerry discussed with us. “Richard, get ready!” he told Richard.

Using his gay, very gay voice, “I can’t!! I have a sprain now, maybe I’ll get worst if I join the marathon.”

“Now who’s gonna join now?” Gerry asked. Now he’s face is problematic. “Okay Niall will do it. He can win this. Where is he now?” wow Senior’s getting mad and mad. Where’s Niall?

“I’m trying to contact him but he wouldn’t answer me.” One of our team mates said.

“I will replace Niall.” I bravely told the lads. Though I’m not ready for this, I will do it. I will replace Niall.

“Andy are you sure? Have you tried running in a marathon before?” Gerry seriously asked me.

“I want to do this.”

“But you aren’t use in long distance running.” He told me. A moment of silence was there. My mates looked at me same as Lyndon did.

“What?! Don’t you believe in me?” I told them jokingly. “I will win this. I promise. I will try my very best.” That gave me more motivation. I wanna do this for Niall; I will win this for Niall.

“Okay. Andy, I trust you. I know you can do this for Dormitory 2!” Gerry cheered us and gave our good lucks.

Now we’re ready. In every dorm, there will be 15 members who will join the marathon. It’s my first time to join a marathon. I will do my best for our dorm to win this event and this athletics’ day.

The marathon started. Dorms 1, 2, and 3 are doing their best. They want to win too. They want to prove that they dominate in this competition and win this day. We’re all tasked to run a 5km distance. I know I’m not ready for this, but I’m giving my best.

The route of the marathon is the whole school campus. We started to run at the track and all around the school. Back and fourth. As we get farther and farther, people are tired, really sweaty and are losing energy. Thinking that they couldn’t make it any longer.

When it’s already the last round of the marathon, I feel very weak already. I’m really thirsty. There were cups of water that are served but then the other team jumped to the table and took all the glasses of water. They couldn’t take it anymore. I ran out of water… I continued to run and run. I’m almost there. Unfortunately, one of my opponents from Dorm 1 blocked my left foot cause me to fall to the ground. I got up and tried my best to finish the marathon.

-Lyndon’s POV-

We can all see Andy on the track and a few meters is the finish line. We all yelled and cheered for him. We all know that it is really tiring to run in a marathon especially it’s his first time to join in a marathon. But all of a sudden, HE FELL. He’s about 20 meters away from the finish line.. oh my.

We all cheered him up. “ANDY, GET UP! YOU’RE ALMOST THERE! COME ON MATE!!” we yelled at him.

Oh no, Dorm 1’s Brenan is coming! and he’s gonna win, no….

“Andy!! You can do it!” I yelled once more.
