Hey! Chapter 3 up! I hope you enjoy. :) R&R please! The first 2 periods fly by. In gym, Abby pairs up with Tim, who I think is nice, and Jethro goes with Jen, who I've also gotten along with. "Katie, wanna join up?" "Sure, DiNozzo. But what are we doing?" "Running. We're having our partners time us." "Okay." 'Tony is in for a surprise,' I thought. 'He knows I run, but not how good I am.' Tony goes first. He runs a 5:50 coming in first for the guys in the pairs. All the girls were up next. I sprint off, leading the first pack of girls, who I assume are the athletic ones. I'm 3/4 done my mile. I feel it in my knee. Gosh. It hurt like heck. I kept running through my pain though. "Woah, Kate! 5 minute flat!" I don't have time to have his comments. I lean on his shoulder. "Help me over to the teacher," I command. He helps me limp over. "Can I go get my knee brace and meds?" I ask the teacher. She nods, seeing the pain on my face. "Tony!" He helps me back to the school and to my locker. I open it and take out my knee brace and pills. "Tony, where's the nurse?" "Uh, not too far away." I nod. "Help me up?" He puts his hands under my arms and pulls me up. I limp to the nurse, most my weight on Tony. Luckily, nobody else is there, so I go in right away. "Nurse Emma?" "Yes?" "Kate Todd." She nods, understanding pulls out a sheet. "Okay, Kate. Here you are." She hands me a pen and the sheet. She already wrote the time, date, and her signature. I write mine and hand it back to her. I stick on the knee brace and adjust it. I take a pill and hand her the bottle. She takes it and gives me a water bottle. I take a sip and swallow the pill, wincing at the taste of the special liquid. I thank her and leave. "So, Kate, what is it with your knee?" I'm still limping a bit, but the knee brace is really nice. "Well," I explain. "I've always had problems with it. I have pills that I have to take with special water which help take away the pain." "Why special water?" "It helps the pill disintegrate and work right. Otherwise, well, I could end up in a coma." He nods, and I realize we are at the entrance of the girls locker room. "Thanks, Tone." I limp into the door. All the other girls are changing. "Kate! Gosh you scared me! I'm glad you're not too bad! You got 5 minute flat. That's the best record at this whole school! The best runner after you was Cami, who got a 6:47!" I smile and roll my eyes before sticking on my regular clothes. Hoped you enjoyed it! Sorry for any spelling mistakes... Please R&R! Reviews make me happy :)
