Chereads / Johnny and Matthew / Chapter 7 - The Punishment

Chapter 7 - The Punishment

Proverbs 15:9 The Lord is disgusted with all who do wrong, But he loves everyone who does right

April 11, 1977...

"Archeble Collins" Called Coach Henry

"Here!" Archie yelled he uses his inhaler

"Veronica Finn!" he called again

"I'm Here! I'm Here! I'm sorry that I'm late, Coach." said Veronica as she ran into the bleachers

The Coach glare at her and got back to his clipboard

"Mark Hooper!" Coach Henry called

"Present!" Mark replied

"Joseph Hughes!" The Coach called

"Present!" Joe yelled

"Samual Jones!" The coach called

"Peace my man!" Samual yelled

"Enya Moore!" He called again

"I'm here!" she called

"Reginald O'Brien!" Coach Henry called

"Here!" shouted Reggie

"Patty Robertson!" Coach Henry called

"Here!" Patty said

"Emily Ross!" Coach shouted

"ME!" Emily called

"Elizabeth Sawyer!" He Called again

"Peace!" Betty yelled

"Maxwell Scott!" shouted Henry

"Here!" Maxwell replied

"And...Mike Watson!" Coach Henry shouted

"Here!" Mike replied

He blows his whistle and everyone went to the locker room to change into their gym uniform when they out on the field, it was like extra hard. They have to do four laps instead of one, and then they have to do fifteen pushups and setups instead of ten, and finally, they have to do wall sits while holding twenty pounds weights. And after when it all over, Archeble uses his inhaler as Betty and Reggie cool of, and Joe and Veronica talk about music Max, Enya, and mike were laying down on the grass sweating. Samual, Emily, and Mark sat on the bench. But the Coach blows his whistle again, ordering everyone to do another four around the track.

"Wait!" The Coach shouted "Veronica, you can have a break. The rest of you do the four around the track."

Veronica went over on the bench as everyone looked confused and disgusted. Betty was walking up to Coach Henry and give him a shiner, but, he stopped her and knock her down to the concrete floor. Everyone was scared and shocked about what the Coach did, Reggie ran over to Betty's aids and push the Coach. Hard.

"You...You can't treat us or Betty like the rubbish cans you stupid bloody bugger!" Reggie Insulted

The Coach got up quickly and grabbed Reggie by his shirt and gave him a death glare,

"If you say one more curse word in British, I'll knock you down on the ground just like your sweetheart, you understand!" Coach Henry growled

"Why!" wined Betty "Why the Hell are you treating us like this? And why did you let Veronica get a break and we don't?"

Coach Henry let go Reggie and clear his throat

"The reason why I gave Veronica a break because she did not do anything wrong yesterday," Coach explained

"We didn't do anything wrong either!" Betty corrected

"No, you and the rest of you guys did something really shitty! Very shitty actually, did any of you stop and think that Johnny Koals and Matthew Koals have feelings too, did any of you ever stop? Well...of course not, all of you were too busy thinking about the voting prompt in three weeks, you probably got your suits and dresses and your dates and your voting posters. Joe, who is your sweetheart to the voting prompt? who's the lucky gal?" said the Coach

"Emily Ross," said Joe

"I'm sorry can you speak up?" sarcastic Coach Henry

"Emily Ross!" shouted Joe

Reggie helped his sweetheart up and Betty started to walk off until,

"The punishment not over yet Miss. Sawyer" said Coach Henry

"I'm not going to do this torture anymore Coach!" yelled Betty "We did not do anything wrong! Johnny and Matthew were too stupid enough to know that boys don't get their God Damn period just like the girls. And it was funny as heck!"

Coach Henry looked at Betty and then at Veronica

"But if it wasn't for Veronica that was so nice enough to tell me what happen yesterday, she wouldn't get the same punishment as the rest of you." Coach Henry corrected her

Betty looked at Veronica and she realizes that her own BFF has betrayed her (Well to her)

"Veronica..." Betty looked angry as she stomps over to her "You Bitch! snitched on us?!"

Coach Henry stopped her and pushed her to the side as everyone looked at Veronica

"Why Ronnie? Why?" Max complained

"I can't stay silent forever you guys, I have to tell," Veronica admitted

Veronica got up and walked over to the right and stop dead center and watch the sky and see that there are some thunder clouds coming.

"So..." Samual looked at her "You snitched on us?"

"Even though I didn't do anything wrong yesterday, I felt sorry for Johnny and Matthew," Veronica looked at Samual and then back at the clouds again "I'm sorry..."

"You're sorry..." Mark suggested

"Yes," Veronica said firmly she was getting annoyed about everyone is asking her questions

BOOM!

Thunder came out of nowhere and everyone felt that Coach Henry blow his whistle and everyone ran back inside the school building, they thought their punishment was over, but they still need to their four laps except for Veronica.

"And I forgot to mention this to all of you, all of you except Veronica will have a two weeks lunch detention and a one-week suspension and also if any of you even or ever dare to skip it or not to come on either on days...The principal and I will not be letting any of you go to the voting prompt on the 28th" Coach Henry added one little detail in the punishment

Everyone was shocked and disappointed about what Coach Henry, Veronica sigh in relive in private so nobody can see that she was happy that wasn't getting the punishment. Betty stomps over to the entrance to the gym Coach Henry noticed it right away.

"Where do you think you're going?" Coach Henry asked

"I'm going to study hall to find Those stupid cows that we call Johnny and Matthew and ripped them up into pieces and then I'll never going to see their ugly cow face again!" Betty Hollard

Coach Henry grabbed her arm and he was trying to stop her from going to study hall

"I have no choice but to put you out of the voting prompt! And I can not accept the fact that you were utterly nasty toward the twins. I mean...Do you feel shame or guilt about what you did?" The Coach wondered out loud

"Heck NO! I don't feel any shame, guilt, or empathy for what I did yesterday!" Betty admitted

Everyone looked at Betty like she doesn't have a heart for Johnny and Matthew at all, she yanked her arm away from the Coach and she continued to walk away and she forgot to tell Coach Henry something she turned to him.

"You'll be sorry for what you did to all of us," Betty growled

she exits out of the gym as everyone continued to do their punishment.
