Thursday
Pico and the rest of his gym class were out running laps around the track. They were nearing the end of their day, but of course the coach decided their fitness and overall well being was more important than their happiness. Most students dreaded the 2 mile run that their coach assigned once a month, but Pico had no problems with it. An added perk of being an incognito super hero. In fact, he was easily one of the fastest students in the school, but he decided to use his talents to fight crime rather than win gold medals or trophies.
Coach allowed the students to run their eight laps as quickly as they wanted and encouraged it by saying they got free time if they finished before the school bell. Everybody knows free time in gym class is basically the educational equivalent of heaven, so it motivated a lot of kids to run their hearts out. While a lot of students were dying by the fourth lap, the track and cross country runners were usually able to make it until the sixth or seventh. Then, of course, there was Pico, whose improved body conditions put him levels above his classmates. He was tired, no doubt, but he was also much faster than all of them, so he got done way before anybody else.
"Hey coach, is it alright if I go take a restroom break?" Pico asked, already headed towards the stairs to get up and out of the stadium, where the restrooms were.
"After the speed you just ran two miles Alberto? You could take five restroom breaks!" The coach responded before shouting at some other kids to keep up the pace.
It had been a normal day for the boy so far, but he couldn't help but feel like something exciting was about to happen.
