Then Jon Madison reached for the stone ... only to grab nothing. It wasn't on the shelf where he thought he had put it. It wasn't anywhere in his gym locker. Jon's eyes scanned the floor. He thrust his hands into pockets over his new wider hips. Not there either.
Jon then realized he had no trouble opening his locker after he had showered. He often got the combination slightly wrong. This time, he hadn't ... because he must've forgotten to lock the locker! "I'm gonna be stuck like this forever!" Jon's fist slammed its metal door.
Jay Duncan glanced at Jon through thick glasses and looked away. He didn't want Jon to aim his anger at him.
"Hey, what's that noise!?" Coach Mark Burlington walked toward Jon, swaying his fatherly hips.
Jon lowered his fist and shut his eyes in shame.
"What's going on, Madison!?" barked Coach Burlington.
