The day went on with nothing special happening. Cody was excited because not only was it the first day of school, but afterward was his first ever swim practice. Zack was not so thrilled, he was back in school and had no one to hang out with until Cody got home. Max's dad got a new job in Chicago, so she moved over summer break, and Tapeworm's mom wanted him to go to a private school. Both the boys were depressed because those were their only friends that they hung out with. Yeah, their was Bob, but Zack never liked Bob because it seemed that he kept hitting on him. Once Cody found this out, there were gay jokes aimed towards Zack for weeks, that is until Zack gave Cody a power nuggie, and that was the end of that.
After school, Zack met up with his brother at the locker to wish him luck on the first day. Well, actually he was there to harass Cody, and make him nervous for the practice, after all thats what older brothers do. The bus ride back to the hotel was horrible. Zack forgot his Mp3 player in the hustle of the morning, and there was no one on to talk to. All that Zack was able to do was look out the window and see most of Boston pass him by. Finally, he made it back to the hotel, stumbled to his room, and do a perfect face-plant on his bed. The only thing that he could look forward to was the movie that they were going to see tonight, and on that, he fell asleep.
Cody's afternoon was much more exciting than Zack's. After a brief meeting with the team and the coach, everyone started running laps. According to their coach they would run laps every practice because it built their leg muscles. After the laps, half the team went into the weight room to lift weights, and the others went into the locker room to complete their physical. Cody was picked to go in the weight room, and the coach immediately told everyone to pair up so that everyone could find a spotter.
Cody just stood there, not knowing anyone, hoping someone would ask him. Wouldn't you know it, but that just happened. A tall skinny kid with long brown hair came up to Cody and asked if he had a partner yet. After Cody told him that no one asked him yet, they made their way to one of the many benches. As they worked out they talked and introduced themselves to each other. Ben, who Cody immediately found out his name, was in the grade above him. Cody was also happy to learn that this was Ben's first year in swimming too.
After about thirty minutes of working out, the coach blew his whistle and yelled that everyone who hadn't had the physical yet needed to go down into the locker room. Cody, Ben and four other kids made their way down the stairs. Once in the locker room, they were asked to strip down to their underwear and line up to go see the doctor. Cody felt really embarrassed about doing this, but imagined that everyone else felt the same way.
"Oh well." Cody thought as he removed his shirt, I better get used to being in this state of undress. He then folded his shirt and took off his shoes and socks. Looking around he noticed that everyone else was also looking around see what the others were doing. Cody, not wanting to be the first one in his underwear just waited, the others had the same idea. Finally, Ben got sick of just staring at people so he took off his shorts and stood at the front of the line. Cody, not wanting to make his new friend feel alone, took his shorts off, folded them neatly and stood second in line. Moments later, the other kids were in line as well.
It didn't take long for the physical but it was enough for Cody. He was happy to get dressed and back upstairs to do some more lifting. Finally about a quarter to five, the coach blew his whistle for the end of practice. Cody, along with most of the team were relived because everyone was exhausted. After a brief meeting about how the next practice they would have their uniforms, and how they were going to be in the pool all day, the group was dismissed.
As Cody walked to the locker room to change back into his street clothes, Ben taped him on the shoulder asking him to hold up. Ben was worried that he wasn't going to be as good as the others, but Cody being as nice as he always is told him a lie, about him not being good and that they could suck together. After a quick laugh, they both went downstairs to change. As Cody finished up he said goodbye to Ben and walked toward the entrance to the school.
When he arrived out in the front, he noticed his mom sitting in her green Honda Civic, across the street. He immediately opened the door and sat down. On the car ride home he got asked about a hundred questions about his first day, he tried to answer them all, be he was too tired to. After noticing that her son wasn't up to answering questions, Carey turned up the radio and started singing to the song. Normally Carey was a great singer, but when she tried to sing In the End, by Linkin Park, Cody couldn't help but laugh.
They both walked into their suite still laughing at Carey ability to butcher rock and R&B music. As they were pulling up to the hotel, Crazy came on the radio and Cody just lost it as he saw his mom trying to sing like Gnarls Barkley. Once they were in their suite, Cody took off to his room to grab some clean clothes and then to take a shower and Carey went over to the computer. About ten minutes later Cody came out wearing mesh shorts and a tank top. As soon as Carey saw her son, she told him to hurry up and wake Zack and go get dressed because they were almost late for the movie.
Cody completely forgetting about the movie, took off at warp speed to his room. There he woke up his brother and told him to hurry up and change because they were going out. Zack not intending on sleeping that long, jumped right up and over to his dresser to find clean clothes.
"So, Zack, how was you first day at school?" Cody asked pulling his shirt over his head.
"It was horrible, I got homework on the first day." Zack complained removing his shorts and shirt. "How was practice?"
"Tiring, all we did was lift weights or run." Cod y replied, digging through his drawers looking for some shorts. "Do you have any of my shorts, and that black Volcom shirt?" Cody asked still searching for clothes.
"I saw some shorts on the dryer, and I think the shirt is on there too," Zack replied, pulling up a pair of khaki shorts over his briefs. "Thanks" was the reply and his brother sprinted out the bedroom door. All Zack could do was smirk as he pulled on his green DC Shoes t-shirt over his head. Cody emerged back into the bedroom moments later.
"Well you certainly got over your fear of everyone seeing you in your underwear haven't you?" Zack asked joking around as he threaded his belt through the loops on his shorts.
"Yea, I guess I got over that today, with changing in front of everyone and that stupid physical." Cody said surprised, he forgot that he was only in his underwear when he rushed out of the room to get his clothes.
Zack let out a soft laugh and waited as Cody also threaded a belt though his pants. Both the boys ran out of the room to see their mom also emerging from her room.
"Ready?" she asked and with both boys nodding, they took off out the door.
They came back about six hours later. After a movie, dinner and a couple rounds of putt putt, they were all exhausted and ready for bed. Carey immediately took off to bed as the boys sat on the couch and turned on the TV. About a three hours later, Zack woke up and saw his brother laying on the couch next to him. Figuring they both fell asleep watching TV, he woke up his brother and turned off the TV. They both made it to their room, striped off and made it to their beds before they fell asleep again. Thank god it was Friday.
