How's the holidays? I'm back! Here's chapter 6


Chapter 6

Saturday morning, I decided to wake up earlier than usual. The sun hasn't risen yet but I could already see the faint glow over the horizon.

I looked at my clock. 5:32am. I smiled. Don't know why but I was kinda happy. Maybe because of the fact that I was free?

I got up, went to my bathroom and took a shower. I looked at my reflection on the mirror.

Still the same nub but different. Everything is gonna change from here on. So put on some jogging pants, they were bright blue ( I had no other pair yet.) and put on my sneakers and a white tee. I decided to familiarize myself with the training I would start.

Luckily my mom had the morning shift today. So I got down, went to the kitchen, ate a bit of breakfast and some milk and then strode off to the park.

When I was about to open the door, I heard voices.

"Later Carls!"

"SAM! YOU HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO FREDDIE!"

"I can't hear you!"

Then heard the door slam.

Hearing this made me realize that Carly cared, but I wasn't sure . But for Sam it was pretty much a statement that she didn't really care.

Like the time when Principal Franklin asked a favor to say Happy Birthday to her daughter online and I said sure but Sam quickly protested. "The boy doesn't make the decisions alright?" I just shook it off. They day was just starting. I don't want it to get ruined due to some flashback.

I peaked into the peephole and made sure nobody was around.

The coast was clear.

So I slowly got out the door making sure that no noise was made and then quickly got to the elevator.

But as I turned around the corner, I saw Sam waiting for the elevator.

I quickly turned, hoping that she didn't recognize me.

Too late. I already felt a hand holding me by the collar of my shirt.

She dragged me back to the elevator and then turned me around to face her.

She just stared at me, her eyes burning with rage.

I stayed silent, I avoided her gaze and just stayed emotionless.

Then she finally broke out, "What's the chiz nubson!" and then slammed me to the wall.

I didn't move at all, I just let her get her way.

She slammed me again but this time harder, "Speak up freak!" and then slammed me again.

Then I heard a door open. I was already being pounded into the wall and then Spencer stepped in.

"Woah woah woah! Easy there Sammy." Spencer said as he held Sam by the wrists.

At the same time, Carly came to me and checked me. "Are you okay?"

I didn't move or talk. I just got up and took the elevator and quickly pressed the close button.

As the doors closed, I saw Sam still trying to break free, and Carly still staring across the hall toward me with a confused look.

I brushed my clothes off, and refocused, dismissing every memory of what has just happened minutes ago... I sighed.

If only it was as easy as clearing the history off of the internet browser, just one click and everything could be forgotten.

So i just dismissed them for now and tried making the REST of my day a lot better.

I got to the lobby and just ignored Lewbert who yelled, "NO DORKS ON MY FLOOR! BLeEeEeeEcH!"

I checked my watch. It read 5:46am.

I took out my material and started reading it as I jogged toward the park.

After 2 blocks of jogging, I was already huffing and puffing. Man, was I out of shape. I bent down and held my knees trying to catch my breath. After a few minutes, I was already going down the path to the park.

I stopped to get some water in a nearby convenience store and walked to the park.

I sat a bench and started to read intently into the material. A lot of conditioning has to be done.

Upper body strength comprised of doing a series of 5 different push ups, sit-ups and pull ups.

So I started my training. I looked like a doof trying to burn fat. I couldnt even lift myself off the ground after 6 push-ups.

I layed on my back staring into the sky and thoughts began flooding into my psyche.

I suddenly remembered Duke, a wrestling idiot who bullied me alot as well.

But then I also remembered one halloween, I protested on proceeding with the webshow inside apartment 13b. and I remembered perfectly Sam spurting out the words "If only someone cared what you say..."

She would always hit me even though I did her favors. I even gave Mindy my ticket to the luxury trip just to save Sam and Carly's friendship!

Another word was added to my description. "MARTYR"

Why is Sam like that? What did I ever do to her? Confused thoughts were channeled into rage.

I was again fueled by my determination to get back at her.

I got up and did the rest of my conditioning. 10 counts for every push-up, (there were 5 kinds) of course resting in between every conditioning exercise., 20 for every kind of sit-up and 5 for each pull-up.

I was exhausted. I wiped the sweat off my forehead and layed back down on the grassy terrain.

I looked up at the bright blue sky.

No more thoughts were flooding in. Just pure satisfaction.

"Still a long way to go, but I'm getting there" I said to myself.

I layed there just wandering off into space, thought about what I could do if I could really do parkour in the future.

I tried getting up, but my body was so sore I could even sit up.

I rolled to my belly and pushed myself up, I got my knees under my chest and finally got to sit up straight. I pushed myself off the ground and suddenly remembered.

I forgot to warm-up... I smacked myself on the forehead and told myself I was an idiot.

I'm going to be sore tomorrow morning.

So instead of walking back, I took the bus back to Bushwell.

I got on the bus and took a seat near the back at the window. I noticed a couple snuggling comfortably on one side of the bus. I couldn't help but feel jealous.

Why jealous? I'm the only kid at school who hasn't had a girlfriend yet! I liked Carly, but she never takes me seriously. Well I did save her life and we became boyfriend/girlfriend, but it was short-lived when I realized that she just loved me for what I did, not for who I am. Kinda like the way they treat me now. They just needed me for what I could do for them. But that wasn't even the bad news yet. You know Gibby? a.k.a. the shirtless wonder? He has a super hot girlfriend named Tasha! F.Y.I. He was also a nub that got picked on, but why does he get her?

How 'bout me?

I got no one.

No one "normal" would even dream of being MY girlfriend.

I looked out the window and tried distracting myself.

Then the bus came into a halt. It was my stop. I got up and slowly trudged down from the bus and onto the pavement.

I got into the lobby and just ran to the elevator.

"NO RUNNING IN MY LOBBY!" I heard Lewbert shriek before the elevator shut tight.

I tried massaging my arms that were still strained from all that exercise.

"DING!" the elevator stopped at my floor.

I peeked around the corner making sure that no one was around and then slipped into our apartment.

Mom was still at work, so I got up to my room and started to get undressed. I walked into my bathroom and stared at my reflection again.

My arms looked like sticks and I still had a baby belly.

I hopped into the shower and said to myself. "Just two more days Freddie."

"Two more days"
