Soccorah walked into the room and spotted Luna straight away at the far corner of the gymnasium. She was so relieved that the girl had this class with her. She made her way through the small group of students who had gathered in several small groups to get to Luna. “Fancy seeing you here.” She said with a smile on her face as she sat on the floor next to her to put on her shoes and begin to stretch. Luna was very happy to see a familiar face. She hated Gym but didn’t want to say it out loud as she didn’t want Soccorah to think her stranger than she already was.
“Hey, Soccorah” she answered. “I didn’t see you at lunch.” She replied as she finished putting her hair in a bun. Everyone had to begin by stretching before the gym teacher arrived to start the warmup exercises and group people according to their skills. Luna had taken up Yoga so she was quite flexible. She tried everything to help her get control of herself and get rid of this sleep walking problem.
God forbid if Soccorah were to find out that she was a sleepwalker. They conversed and stretched for about 10 minutes before the Gym teacher walked in. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Luna. Trying not to draw too much attention to the poor girl or himself he composed himself and started with Introductions.
He began; “May I have your attention please. Everyone! Please, please some silence so we could get started… I am your gym professor: Lucian. As I like to say; Physical education and practice is a very important aspect of everyday living. To be able to perform well academically, you need to be healthy. What else other than a balanced diet can contribute to being healthy u may ask? What else but physical activity. Afterall: sports is Health.”
“I take it that you are done with the stretches. Let us begin warmups line up in to rows and separate yourselves. I want everyone six feet apart. We will begin with some cardio.” Luna looked at Soccorah and got into position. She thought to herself “Why does everything have to be so intense in this place.” She started following his instructions to the T surprisingly as in high school she could not do more than 10 minutes of cardio and any type of physical activity that caused her to perspire was repelled by her. She had always been frail.
