And here's where things go to a head between Morrison and Trevor and where Trevor's fall from grace begins...
Chapter 13: Training Day...Again
Later that morning, Morrison headed to the track field to do some last minute exercise and stretching before training could commence. He figured that it would be a matter of time before he decides to withdraw from the sport because he felt like he was gonna overwork himself if he balances school, home, social life and time to spend at the Moon Theater. He can recall a certain moment when he overworked himself nearly to death when he tried to juggle them, in addition to music class before heading to the Moon Theater and it resulted in him being left out for at least 4 months into the season. Although it'll be difficult for him to walk away from track, he knows that it's time for a better calling.
And the minute he sees Trevor coming in, flirting with three other girls, he knew that that would also be a bonus reason for withdrawing from his presence so that he wouldn't have to hear Trevor boast about how awesome and hot he looks and is and the fact that he's pushed Meena to the side for now makes him a little aggravated. He's not really looking for competition over Meena, but all he wants to do is just make sure that Meena doesn't get too crushed.
But that would be proven a challenge giving that he witnessed showing his true colors towards Meena and forced her to avoid Morrison in order to get close to him and he has no idea what his motives are in store. He hears some of the girls giggling as Trevor flexes his muscles to show off and to brag about how he's the number one athletic star of the team, but for some reason...one of the girls took a sudden interest to Morrison.
She looks at Morrison for a second and couldn't keep her eyes off of him for a second and then Trevor notices this and blocks her way so that she can focus on him instead, but that plan had gone awry when Morrison walks towards the track, getting himself ready to train. Some of the girls walk away, but the one girl couldn't stop staring at Morrison and that infuriated Trevor more than anything, so he walks over to confront the teen cheetah and said, "Hey, why was she staring at you?"
"Who, Meena? I didn't see her come in." Morrison replied, looking around.
"Not her! The other girl that I was talking to. She kept staring at YOU!" Trevor exclaimed, pointing his finger at him.
"Who was staring at me?" asked Morrison, confusedly.
Trevor was flabbergasted that Morrison could be that unaware and he just spluttered, trying to come up with a good accusation towards him and he pointed to the girl that's staring at her now and she waved at him and it was the first time he's seen her and said, "I've never seen her before."
"But apparently, she saw you! And you didn't pay attention?! Man, you must be really dumb at striking out girls." Trevor groaned, angrily.
Morrison rolled his eyes and didn't want to deal with the drama, so he just walked off, but then he turned back and asked, "Did she say anything about me?"
"Just...stay off of my game." Trevor snorted, breathing heavily as he failed to make a comeback directed at the cheetah.
Several minutes later, the rest of the team were ready to do some more training and Morrison was razor-sharped focus, yet he wanted to end his training day on a high note to sort of say farewell to his time in track. Trevor never kept his eyes off of Morrison, not only as his competitor opponent, but as his personal enemy in terms of Meena. Once the gun fired, Morrison was off and running amongst his teammates and Trevor wanted to take a swing at Morrison and as Morrison was racing, Trevor went a few feet ahead and slammed him to the ground, with the hopes that Morrison will react and be forced to fight him.
Morrison was thrown off to the ground, but knew what Trevor wanted him to do; fight him. But he was light on his feet, shook it off and kept on running back on track and he kept running, but every second, he just got ran over and pummeled by Trevor and for some reason, this isn't a game. This is personal. Morrison kept going back to the track field to keep doing his training, but when Trevor goes after him a second time, Morrison moves out of the way faster and kept going and going and going until Trevor pummels him down before Morrison reaches his last lap.
The coach blew the whistle on this and everyone stopped to take a breath while Morrison gets himself up and walks over to Trevor and asked, "Dude, what's your problem?"
"Listen, I'm not gonna let some hot-shot take away everything that's popular to me! You got that? You'd best better learn how to stay out of my way and you ened to apologize to me for throwing off my game!" Trevor exclaimed.
"I'm not apologizing for something I didn't do!" Morrison exclaimed.
"Break it up! Trevor, I saw what you did there to throw Morrison off! Consider yourself benched for the rest of season!" the coach exclaimed.
That was shocking to hear from Trevor that he's getting benched from the game and exclaimed, "Are you serious? I'm the best thing that ever happened to this team!"
"You should've thought of that before you were starting a fight with Morrison! You as a star athlete should know better than that!" the coach exclaimed.
Trevor completely felt like Morrison was to blame for this whole thing and he snorted angrily as he walked out of there, raising a middle finger to the world and the coach turned to Morrison and asked, "You all right, Morrison?"
"Yes, coach. I'm just...it just caught me off-guard a little." Morrison answered.
"I'd like to talk to you in my office for a second." the coach added.
Morrison had no idea what's in store, but knowing that he's gonna withdraw from the sport would become a good reason and he felt like the time is right about now and he said, "Yes, sir."
This is it...will Morrison drop the ball on the coach? How will he react? Stay tuned to find out!
