I'm Red as a Tomato

Since it was the last week of school before spring break we didn't do much so people didn't come. Yet I was forced to come because dad didn't want me home alone even though I asked nicely to go visit the Gunner's since Blake ditched school and invited me.

So instead here I am in the gym sweating. We've been put into pairs to do this training circuit and I'm with Aidan. It's actually quite fun since he makes jokes while we're working out.

We're currently doing jumping jacks but Aidan is just making me laugh every time he finishes one. He dramatically turns to me with his lips pressed out and I obligate to do one since the first few he wouldn't stop looking at me.

After that, we pressed our backs against the wall and did a sixty-second wall sit. It wasn't so bad until I saw Aidan's left foot nudge my right foot.

"Aidan!" I screeched as I fell on my butt. He threw his head back and laughed and I grunted since he was still in a wall sit.

"WILLSON?" Coach Harris's voiced boomed causing me to startle. I glanced up to see Coach darting towards us.

"Why aren't you like Rowley over here? There are two days left of school so get your butt off my floor and on that wall!" he exclaimed and I tried my best to get up as quick as I could.

"Eighty seconds now." Coach said then blew his whistle. Aidan pointed and laughed at me while I glared at him.

"You two Rowley, I saw those sissy jumping jacks you were doing." Coach said eyeing Aidan up and down in disgust.

"Wha-At least I still did them!" Aidan rambled as I giggled.

"I know but this is your last lesson till you all come back. Heaven knows all the junk food you teenagers will eat." Coach muttered then walked away.

"I wonder what kind of fish is Max," Aidan spoke up as we watched Coach yell at Carter and Miranda.

"Why?" I asked then glanced down to his right foot. He was still looking at Coach so I put my left foot on his right foot.

"So I can eat him." Aidan snorted as he turned to me I slid his foot forward so he landed on the ground.

"Sh*t." Aidan groaned and I pulled my tongue at him. Using his forearm he hit my calves and I just dropped.

"WILLSON, ROWLEY! ONE MINUTE WALL SIT UP!" Coach yelled throughout the gym and we groaned in unison while helping each other up.

"This is all your fault." Aidan pouted as Coach walked over to us with his stopwatch.

"Should I tell Coach you want to eat his pet fish, Max?" I peered at Aidan and he squinted his eyes at me then folded his arms.

Turns out the bell rang like thirty seconds later yet Coach didn't let us go and my legs were on the verge collapsing. Coach made it even worse with his yelling and I could have sworn Aidan had tears in his eyes.
