Will DREAMS Happen?

Chapter 7

- Ally's gym outfit -

Schools buses freak me out. So many people, so many germs, so many weird things. I boarded the bus but payed no attention to people. I should be making friends but I don't see the need because I'll probably end up leaving/being gone for horse shows and working student positions. I drift off into my own little world as the bus drives. Before I know it I'm at school. The driver basically kicks everyone off to go on their marry way.
I enter Hightson highschool, say that name 5 times fast. Like yesterday it's busy. I'm not as lost and I can find 60% of my classes so I say that's an achievement. For first period I have P.E.! I love anything to do with sports and being fit/healthy. I am truly the sporty/tomboy girl. The girls change room has a lot of sophomore and juniors. I found my way to a empty spot  and proceeded to change. I can tell you I was so not comfortable with this. There were other girls starring at me probably because of the muscle I had. I finally finished and quickly left the room.

I didn't know what to do first. I saw some others stretching so I stretched. I did so until the gym teacher called all the students over. He proceeded to call names and mark who was here and who wasn't. After he told us what was gonna be happening.
"Today is all about evaluation to let me see where everyone is at fitness wise and we will go from there. I've set out challenges that we will go through one by one. The first challenge is muscle, you will be doing pull ups, push ups, sit ups and the rope climb."
He lined us in alphabetical order. I was 1st in the line.. No one knew me and I could feel the pressure already. I stepped up to the pull up bar.

"Ok I'm going to time you for 1 1/2 minutes and you see how many pull ups you can do. Ready set go." Said the gym teacher.

I start doing pull ups, I can tell people are looking at my biceps. I'm at 14 pull ups in so far.
"40 secs left." He says.
I start going faster to reach 20 pull ups before the time is up. 18,19,20,21 I count in my head.
BEEP BEEP BEEP my time is up and I finished 21 pull ups. Not my best but I don't want to show off so I did great. I head to the back of the line to wait.
"Hey, I'm Connor." The random guy in front of me spoke to me?
"Hi."
"I've never seen you before. Are you new?" Connor asks.
"Yeah. I just moved here."
"Well it's nice to see another strong athletic girl in this school." He says.
Was that a compliment? Did someone just comment on my fitness?
"Thanks." I say back.
The line moves fast. I've been watching the girls because half can't even do a proper pull up. I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say this school isn't for sporty girls.
Gym moves pretty quickly along. We've done muscle, stamina and coordination.
"Alright class, I've taken the evaluation. The evaluation will come in handy later on for team sports and individual activities. You are dismissed." The gym teacher says.
Everyone heads to their change rooms. My muscles are a little tired but nothing major. Most girls still looked great while I was sweating, probably because I was the only one to do more than most expected from a girl. I quickly changed into my regular clothes and got myself looking a little more decent. My next class is Science! I'm way to happy to be at school.
