The Secret

Gym Class

De  Vil High school;Gym class

"Ok run 4 laps around the field. Then report to me your time then you can do volleyball, soccer, football, or walking after your done. Ok GO!" Yells Coach Ashley

PJ and August start jogging at a decent pace and talking about how their classes are going.

"Hey man do uh how do I say this do you...do you like Gael like romantically?" August  continues to run while not looking at PJ as he says this.

"What would make yo think that?"

"Well during free time you were looking at him the whole time and I thought you liked him but I guess I was wrong." August shrugged as he said this 

"No man" He laughs "I like him as a friend but I was just thinking."

"About..." August trailed on. They were on their second lap at 5.3 minutes

"Well at lunch he said "I usually was bullied and used for homework and an outcast" and he was going to say something else but said never mind instead I wanted to know what he was going to say. And I wanted to ask him some or a lot of questions."

"Bro are you for real he was bullied and used. That's just wrong, really wrong."

August heard a yeah as PJ's response.

"So what were your questions that you wanted to ask Gael?"

"Does he get into trouble saying the wrong things? Cause he says sorry like a lot even if it isn't his fault
And why does he always say sorry?
What did he have to do at his old school? Cause he said he had to do like 30 pages of notes at his old school?
Why would people bully him at his old school? He is such a good kid am I right?" PJ says while counted the questions he wanted to asked Gael on his fingers.

"That is a lot of questions, but I agree with you." August didn't get a reply after that so he thought that PJ was once again thinking. 

As they were finishing their last lap August went to the teacher and told him his and PJ's time. 

"I understand why you want to answers to those questions." August says while passing the soccer ball to PJ.

"Yeah, he seems like he is so insecure and lonely and hasn't found the right crowd yet. I really hope that crowd is us because he is a good kid, I can tel and probably needs to open up more." PJ says while they are passing the ball back and forth.

"Yeah, he takes everything so seriously and is actually kinda cute. When he stumbles over his words. Oh shit, I said that out loud if you tell him I said that I will..." August didn't get to finish his threat.

"Dude I thought the same thing and I won't tell if you won't tell." He stops passing the ball and looks at August to make sure that he's telling the truth. 

"Ok, but anyway let's stop talking about Gael it kinda feels wrong."

PJ agrees with August and then the whistle sounded and now they have to go to the showers 

After the boys shower and get their bags and homework they go to their tree and wait for the others to show up cause they get out of gym earlier to go to the showers. Once everyone arrives they start walking to PJs house since it was the biggest house and because it was a Thursday which meant pizza day at the Moore's household.
  
"I'm so glad we all live in the same neighborhood and also we are practically neighbors!" Constance says with an excited tone in her voice.

Gael is the only one to agree with her, as he says something along the lines of yeah.

The way the were on the side walk.
