In gym the three guys discussed what happened over the summer. Matt had become a
pothead. Phillip had become a hopeless romantic and a ladies man. Micheal still the same Star Wars
loving, not a care in the world person.
After they dressed out and lifted weights the hit the feild. Phillip suprisingly out ran the entire
class. After that they headed to 2nd block same folks from the year before and from the previous class.
The teacher Mr. Harvey was hated by the gang immediately. Then lunch came and things got heated.
Phillip was talking to Charity as Eric walked up behind them.
"Chambers get the fuck away from my girl!"
Phillip turned around and replied with a fist breaking Eric's nose and knocking him out cold. Bronson Merril,
Eric's cronie, came charging at Phillip. Phillip side-stepped and Bronson met a brick wall. Two young men
and blood surrounded Phillip. Confused he ran for the closest safest place he could find. While in a hiding
in the woods Phillip came to grips with what happened. When he returned to school he was suspened for
skipping and fighting.
A Week Later...
"Phillip, are you ok" Charity asked on the morning of his return.
"Yeah I'm good, sorry about Eric" he apologized.
"Don't worry about him we broke up." She told him.
He thought for a minute and started to ask her out. When he opened his mouth these words sent him to rock
bottom. "I'm dating a guy named Ricky Howard now." Phillip was crushed.
Months later Phillip and Charity had become good friends again. They sat on a truck bed at Charity's
brother-in-law's shop talking for about 2 hours. Phillip realized something at that moment but was to afraid to
say it. He loved Charity and he always had he just never realized what he felt was love.
Weeks went on with Phillip holding in his emotions. Until he just couldn't handle it anymore. That day
at lunch he let everything come out.
