บท 5: Chapter 5: Lie

(Ring Ring)

"Oh.... We talked here for too long... We're late for class....." Zach comments in the obvious situation

"Uh, should we just skip?" Chris comments in the bad situation knowing they'll probably have a whole day of running

"No! We cannot skip! I will never skip!" Lily states in a proud manner

"But you're technically skipping right now just by standing here still...." Chris replies to Lily snickering

"Hey, Hey, Hey... What do you kids think your doing, Skipping in front of the school..." The man who we recognized as the gym coach says

"Uhhh, We're uhh, just uhh, Zach was feeling sick! We were thinking about taking him home instead..." Chris makes up a lie in this situation

"So... Why are there four of you here than? Do you need three people to take one man home?" Coach says falling into Chris's lie

"His houses route is dangerous and there are often thugs and gangs on the way their" Chris says forcing a chuckle

"And how do you know of this?" Coach says questioningly

"We live together." Chris says truthfully

"All of you?" Coach questions

"No, just Me, Zach, and Lily.. But Ken is our friend and is worried about us going a dangerous route so he insists on coming" Chris says 50% truthfully

"Isn't that right Ken?" Chris says to Ken winking

"Y-yes... I-I am worried about them.." Ken says truthfully

"I see.. If you have such a dangerous route than why don't you live closer?" Coach asks

"Its because we only have enough money to live in the red light district.." Chris says

"Huh, Enough wasting time just take him to the nurse. You three are still going to have to run laps." Coach says

"No matter the reason you're still skipping... Have fun running" Coach says winking

"For some reason I don't think he fell for it..." Zach comments as the coach walks away

"Damn, That coach always acts like he sympathizes with the students but we always fall into his bait... He should be a therapist." Chris says looking down

(Some time later, Before the bell rings Coach walks into class)

"Excuse me, Can, Zach, Lily, Chris, and Ken please come with me?" Coach says as he points at each of them

"Chris? Oh Okay, you can take them." Teacher says to coach wondering whats going on

As the four of them walk out of the classroom Coach brings them to the track

"Hundred laps, You can get a ten minute break after every ten laps.. GO" Coach says laughing and watching

"What! That's a hundred more than I do in gym!" Chris says to coach

"5.. 4.. 3.." Coach counts down

Chris remembers that the only time coach counted down was when three seniors refused to do something and they ended up never coming to school again...

Chris starts running as fast as he can thinking 'Coach is scary..."

The others follow soon behind worried that Chris is gonna exhaust all his stamina and will collapse
