Jack watched the bully run out of the gym and laughed. Maybe now that he was gone, Jack could relax and work out. He was wondering what to exercise first when he heard a gruff voice behind him. "Jack, is that you?" the person asked.
Jack turned around, realizing who it was. It was the school gym teacher and football coach, Coach Z. Coach Z was a large bulldog. He had played pro football before retiring and coming to teach athletics. He had large football player muscles, though the years of sitting around had replaced his abs with a fairly noticeable belly.
"Wow, you've grown a lot!" Coach Z exclaimed as he playfully punched Jack in the stomach (which Jack didn't feel at all thanks to his large abs). Jack was now much larger than Coach Z. It was somewhat believable for Jack to have grown since Coach Z had seen him, as Jack had a reputation of laying low or even skipping gym class because there the bullying was especially cruel, and he had never played football before.
Jack smiled. "Well, I have been working out a lot," he said, chuckling and flexing a bicep.
"Well, I came over here to talk to you," Coach Z said. "Football tryouts are later today, and we're looking for a quarterback. The varsity starting quarterback graduated last year, and no one else I've seen could live up to his standards." Coach Z reached up and patted Jack on the shoulder. "That is, until I saw you. With your power, our team could win the state championship. What do you say?"
Jack thought about it for a minute. He had never played football before, but he guessed that his new size and speed would more than make up for it. Plus, if he did well, people would definitely respect him more. Jack smiled and nodded. "Sure, I'll tryout," he said.
Coach Z smiled. "Great! Practice is in one hour. See you there!" Coach Z said as he walked out of the gym.
