Taking Turns at Gym in Kitimat


Once at high school in gym there was an activity where there was one player too many, so we were supposed to rotate subbing off. Knowing that I wasn’t popular among other kids I saw the writing on the wall and decided to be the first odd man out. After my time was up I got someone else to sub off. But then after his time was up the other teens told me to sub off even though no one else had taken a turn. They even got the teacher to ask me to do so. I refused. That unfortunately meant that the other person stayed off for the rest of the time (which admittedly wasn’t that much longer). But at least I stood up for myself and refused to sub off twice before everyone else had done so.
