Chapter 2: The Game Of Rugby (2/2)

“Hey ht? Let me take you to the doctor” Blake said as he helped Gary off the ground to see if his nose was okay

Touching his nose lightly, blood started to gush down even more “I think it’s broken,” Gary said more to himself

“Oh, man, I’onna tell thee you”

The worst thing about Blake in Gary and To so popular and see in life, he was actually a nice guy At least in the movies or TV shows, soant, probably even bullying the geek in class, but in real life that wasn’t the case at all

No one hated Blake, everyone loved his gentle soft side Including Gary and Tom, ere merely jealous

“Don’t worry about it It wasn’t your fault” Gary muttered under his breath as he walked off to be with To anyway”

Walking past, Blake had heard Gary’s word Out of everyone who had tried to tackle hied to predict where he would be going This classmate of his obviously had talent, and Blake wanted to tell hione off to the side with To him to the nurse’s office

“You should have seen your head fly back!” Tom teased his friend, all excited “You knohen you careen and that? I thought you had changed, but turns out you’re just the sah about so like this, but it see around He didn’t respond at all to his buddy’s little whims

“Why do they even ht, because our country has an obesity crisis So they made it mandatory for every student to take part in a sports club every day, so we don’t turn out into pigs like most of the adults who caet a response out of Gary either

“Hey, so how’s your sister doing?” Toe the subject

“You can’t date her,” Gary replied instantly, still holding pieces of tissue up his nose

“What, I didn’tup to be quite the beauty I can already picture it, in a couple of years, she’ll be e brother She won’t be like she is now You should treasure these days”

A picture started to forirl with short brown hair and perfect shaped large eyes Only his vision was slightly altered in a particular area Instead of melons, they were the size of waterhed in defeat, aware that soon enough he ht off his sister’s suitors

After visiting the nurse’s office to have his nose looked at, she inforuessed himself His nose was indeed broken The nurse recommended he visit the hospital if he didn’t want it to reery to fix it later on as well, but it would be easier to do it before it healed crooked

That’s when he noticed the time, and Gary rushed out of the room

“Thank you, I’ll promise to have it looked at!” he called back

But he wasn’t rushi+ng off to the doctors Instead, he was running back hoate and started running as fast as possible to get back home They lived in a set the bus Not tothe bus He didn’t really want to spend any money on it, especially since he could be back home within ten minutes if he hurried

Litter filled the streets of his neighbourhood and there were patches of graffiti near the apartreatest compared to others

It was by no means the worst place to live in, but it certainly wasn’t the best either Eventually, he reached an apartment block The buzzer attached to the side of the door had been broken a long ti anyone to co left was the gruelling task of walking up six flights of stairs The aparth to be placed on the top floor

Finally reaching the top, he felt like so to pull out all his organs He was huffing and panting louder than Tom had been out on the field

He waited aapartYou’re just in tionna need a couple of ht as well?!” His oing out with To into his bedroom

Their apart of two bedroo area as well as the living room when not in use It was all his family could afford and since there were only two bedrooms, it meant…

“Gary, what the hell happened to your nose?!” His sister, who had been lying on her bed, noticed her brother’s arrival She was still in her school uniforo, she had been singing away until a certain someone had bulldozed into the rooo,” Gary replied, as he quickly changed out of his school unifor else “And please don’t tell ht, the two of theh he was sixteen and she was fifteen, only a year younger than himself Of course, both of them kept this a secret froht spread ruot up to sos had much of a choice Their family situation wasn’t the best, and they both knew that They had never once complained about their situation to their mother, since the poor woe children to the best of her ability while workingclothes, Gary quickly rushed out of the apart off On his way, he would constantly look at his phone to check the time, and it was now five-thirty

‘I made it, with even some time to spare as well’

He had arrived outside a well-known nightclub Above hin read ‘Basement’ It was in the town centre, and he wasn’t here to meet Tom He had lied about that part
