It's a fairly boring day of classes. Nobody seems to treat you any differently, which relieves you. You're assigned a ton of homework in Mrs. Donovan's trigonometry class and you wonder if you'll have time to finish it all today. You still can't quite wrap your brain around trigonometry so it takes you a long time to complete.
You have gym at fourth period and you make your way to the gym. The gym has mats laid out in half of the gym. You are surprised to see both boys and girls there and Coach Donovan and Miss Beaumont are taking attendance. You are annoyed to notice that just about everybody you had run-ins with yesterday seems to be in your gym class. You notice Sean, Leo, and Manny all in a clump with Rachel and her two lackeys. You don't see Belinda or Ethan which is even worse. At least one friendly face would be nice. Ah well, you think, there is Coach Donovan. He seemed nice enough.
Coach Donovan calls out, "Parker Comstock." "Here," you say in a much higher voice than you intended and you notice a surprised reaction from Sean and company who look over at you and Sean flashes you a wolfish grin. Damn it, you think, they must know that I've started the Process.
"Okay," Coach Donovan says, "it's wrestling for the boys today and cheerleading for the girls. Everybody go change."
