Trapped Inside Myself SEQUEL

Gator in the ditch

I slammed my locker closed and speed walked down the hall to my next class as the hall emptied, I didn't want to be late for class, I opened the door to the gym and saw that the class had already started a warm up exercise, after Mr. Edwards vanished last year we had a new guy named Mr. Alando He was way better, and actually probably one of my favourite teachers this year, after coming back from M.M.H literally everyone looked down on me as a simpleton, but Mr. Alandodidn't even treat me different or give me two glances, and even when I was still in a wheelchair he always made a way for me to participate.

"Shane, your late." I looked up at Mr. Alando as he scolded me in his Spanish accent.

"I'm aware..." I muttered matter of factly.

"Please join the rest of the students." He says narrowing his eyes at me.

I nod and jog lightly into the middle of the sweaty smelling gymnasium, funding a place away from both Patrick and Ezra and settling in beside Taylor and a Jamaican girl who I never really noticed before or maybe just didn't pay attention too, her brown skin was beautiful and smooth, her face almost had hard masculine features but her eyes and lips masked with very artfully placed makeup giving her an extra feminine quality.

I did jumping jacks like the rest of class and later on we did the beep test and it was hard to ignore Patrick and Ezra since they tried to get my attention every chance they got, I new it was almost childish of me but I was still pissed from yesterday in the bell tower and I wasn't in the right frame of mind to talk in class.

I sprinted to the other end of the gym when suddenly I fell to the ground when I placed my foot wrongly making my ankle give out from under my body, I reached forward to clasp my ankle when I heard the beep go off and I was out, I felt a pain pulsing in my right ankle as I held my hand around it, but then I stumbled back to my feet and waved off the looks of concern, and brushed Ezra away when he held out a hand to me, I noticed the bruise around his cheek bone from a good blow from Patrick and Patrick asking was marked under his jaw from there brawl on the bell tower, I was mad at the fat that they had fought in the first place.

"Shane!" Ezra said looking at me with annoyed eyes of anger and disappointment, he didn't deserve for me to treat him coldly when he simply was trying to help just now but he also didn't have a right to be impatient with me.

"Well talk later." I said sighing as I hopped off toward the benches.

"Shane are you alright?"

"Yes Mr.Alando, just a light sprain." I replied trying to shake it off.
It hurt but I new the pain wouldn't last long, I kept hopping until I felt arms smooth my waist and wrap around me instantly creating a comfortable embrace.

I looked up to see Taylor, this time as I was getting ready to tell Ezra off but I didn't have too, Taylor's brown orbs shown down at me, as I looked back into his with confusion, he didn't have to help me we weren't even friends, but over the last few days I realized that maybe we were becoming friends, yesterday I got a drive home with him and Hunter from the diner and I told them about some of my problems with the boys that day, both Hunter and Taylor agreed EZra and and Patrick were being dicks.

"Shane!" Everyone turned silent in the gym by this loud shout, I froze in my spot, all I could think about was Ezra's heavy foot steps and the ringing of his voice while Taylor's arm stayed around me, I quick nudged him off me though.

"Mr. Green, if you have relationship problems please leave them out of my class, or excuse yourself!" Mr.Alando yelled back to Ezra.

"Fine,by me " Ezra confirmed and then my arm was grabbed by Ezra and I looked up to see his stormy eyes smouldering.
