South Gym

They walked through the hall. Most of the guys talked about their fantasy football teams. They would then switch and talk about real football teams so much that Levi didn't know which was which. They also talked about cars and girls. Girls was the only one of their subjects that Levi would have felt comfortable talking with them about. Besides Brett, Levi didn't feel very comfortable with any of the other guys. They were all seniors and juniors, they were jocks as well. Not the type of guys Levi usually hanged out with. Although it seemed that they only associated with him when they wanted him to open up the gym for them. they all seemed pretty cool. except for Camdon. He followed them through the Halls like he was stalking them.

            It was easy enough getting into the gym. Lynn Academy had three of them and Levi could pretty much get into any of them. He didn't know how to pick locks but he could get in with just a pen and a credit card. The biggest and nicest of the gyms was to the east and was reserved for Varsity events. The second largest gym was the North gym, and was the second largest gym used for school gatherings.

They headed to the South gym. It was the smallest of the gyms but held an advantage over the others, new equipment. The south gym held the room where all the new equipment was stored in. It was a strange room, Levi always thought of it like a birds nest. It was built into one of the walls over the rooms beneath. it was open to the gym but was about to levels up. the only way to get to it was a small staircase also built into the wall. This was the real reason that they all need Levi to help them.

Levi got the door open easily enough, and they all filed inside. He had found out how to get in here one day when he was looking for a place to play his music. Then Brett had showed up with some of the other football players and started to play basketball. Levi had never joined them, he had helped them get the Basketballs but he had never joined them. Levi wasnt that great at sports, not like Brett was. But most people weren't like Brett. Most people didn't have weird things happen to them all the time.

Most of the guys started rough housing and running around as soon as they were in the gym. Brett and Levi headed for the door set into one wall that lead up to the supply room and the basketballs that everyone wanted to play with. Levi was able to open the door and they headed up the narrow staircase.

“So, what brought up this basketball excursion?” Levi asked Brett as they headed up the dark passageway.

“Oh, you know. Didn’t like the way the conversation was going and decided to bail. “A couple of the other guys joined me and said they wanted to play basketball. And so thats how I ended up here.”

“Wow Brett. Thats so exciting I don’t know how you can handle your oh so popular and hard lifestyle.” Levi said sarcastically.

“Haha shut up man. You know I just love to play the game.” Brett said. “I could do without all the extra stuff.”

“Ha, ya, I know you Brett. You're just eating it up. Just admit that you like the attention. It will be easier when you do.”

“Ya sure Levi.” Brett said sarcastically, as they reached the top.

All the new equipment was behind a chain link fence that made a wall. They must not have had enough of the fencing because there was a little bit at the top that was just wood slats. Levi had loosened one up so that he could move it. When he did that there was just enough room for him to fit in. Thats why the jocks needed him. They were all to big to fit through the small whole.

“Okay.” Levi said. “I’ll be back in a jiffy.”

“Not if I eat you first.” said a cruel voice from behind them.
