I'm Fine (Save Me)

Chapter 3

I got to the school and parked by the field. Unsurprisingly I was the only one there, it was only around 4:30AM by now. I had another hour till sunrise, luckily the field had lights.

I got out and walked to the field and then started running laps around the track. I ran till I vomited, then i did pushups till my arms were numb, then went back to running, then pushups, I kept that up till some cars arrived. My body hurting from overexertion distracted me temporarily from other pain, that I just can't deal with. They didn't unlock the school till 7AM unless my coach, Mr.Connelly, got there earlier, then he'd let me in early.  I watched to see if it was my coach who arrived, but it wasn't so I kept going.

I must've zoned out because next thing I knew I heard a whistle,  it was my coach, he was unlocking the gym doors while waving me over. When I got to him he immediately asked "What'cha doin here so early kiddo?", I went with "Just keeping myself in tip-top shape for football season sir.". He patted me on the shoulder telling me"Good for you Cam, I'll leave this door unlocked, just come in when you're finished. " "Okay thanks sir"

I went to my car to grab my stuff, I checked my cell, it was 6:42AM. I got to the locker room, glad I was alone. I took a shower, again scrubbing myself raw. I was at my gym locker putting on some briefs when I heard a gasp behind me. I instantly turned. It was the captain of the basketball team, Hunter Clemonte. He was at his locker, but facing me, staring at my bruises. I instantly turned back around getting dressed as fast as I could while saying "What? Football is a rough sport, but I guess you wouldn't know that with you playing such a delicate sport like basketball.".

I didn't look back at him to see his response, I just grabbed my stuff and got the hell out of there.
