Sam hates gym. It's not that she dislikes exercise or their teacher. It's not that she feels self-conscious, parading around and doing stretches and the like in front of her classmates. It's not even that she feels sweaty and gross afterwards.

No. Sam hates gym because she has it with Brooke McQueen. She hates having to pretend like she's not staring at Brooke while she does the same stretches she's doing. Hates seeing her walk around in the gym-regulation blue shorts that look like crap on everyone else, but make Brooke look like an athletic Goddess.

She hates watching her run, hates the way her eyes stray when Brooke leaves her line of sight. She hates the way Brooke insists on being her 'gym buddy' and helping with stretches, hates the way Brooke hands feel on her when she does.

Mostly what Sam hates about gym is that it makes her giddy and light-headed and want to act on her feelings. And she hates that she's too afraid to make a move.
