Drake’s last class was English. All day he had been distracted by what he saw in the morning. The final bell rang and woke him up from his day dream. He gathered his things and headed out the door. Since he had practice he had to go towards the gym. Everybody else was going the opposite way. It felt like he was in a stampede. He was being pushed and shoved by the other students when a big guy ran into him. Drake dropped his textbook. He knelt down to pick it up. When he stood up all the other students disappeared. He heard what sounded like thunder coming from inside the hall. He turned to look behind him but nobody was there. He looked back towards the gym and saw the dark horse towards him. Drake braced himself for the impact from the horse. He closed his eyes shut. The horse passed through him then vanished. Drake opened his eyes and the students were walking towards the front of the school. Drake just couldn’t believe it. Drake finally arrived at the gym. He was five minutes late so he had to run five laps.
“What happened?” Ryan asked.
“I think I’m going crazy” Drake responded.
“You just need to rest a bit” said Ryan.
“Milus, Thompson!” shouted the coach.
Drake and Thompson ran towards the coach.
“Milus I want you to pin Thompson in less than three minutes” ordered the coach.
Thompson smirked. Mark Thompson was the biggest guy on the team. Drake had only successfully pinned Mark once out of six times.
“Go!” the coach shouted.
Drake was a bit tired from the laps but he was confident. Mark went for Drake’s waist but Drake evaded to the side.
“You’re wasting your time, Milus!” the coach shouted while pointing to his wrist.
Drake dodged another grab attempt by Mark. Just then sweat got into Drake’s eye. He quickly rubbed the sweat away. He looked at Mark but he saw the man from his dream. The man had a grin the whole time. The man charged at Drake and pinned him.
“You’re too weak to face me” said the man.
“You alright?” asked Mark.
After practice Drake got yelled at by the coach. Drake was upset but more curious to know what was going on with him.
“Hey Drake” said Ryan.
“Sorry Ryan, I’m just gonna go home and relax” said Drake.
“Yea, ok, just get some rest and clear your mind” said Ryan.
“That’s the plan” said Drake as he walked home.
