As the two arrived into the parking lot, Jack saw a familiar figure over by the entrance to the pool. It was Izzy. As Jack had predicted his sister was there, but now he had to decide whether it was smarter to stay with Lauren or go with Izzy back home. Knowing his sister, she would make fun of him and toss him about, which on paper didn't sound ideal, but without her, he may not get back to his house. On the other hand, staying with Lauren might not be so bad. She's been really kind to him thus far and has even cracked a few jokes. Shockingly enough, outside the classroom, she isn't so uptight.
Jack had apparently lost himself in thought as when he came to, Lauren had already handed him off to Izzy and waved goodbye. Now on his younger sister's hand, Jack peered back and noticed a sly grin grow on her face. "So, big brother no longer" Izzy poked. "Oh, hardy har har, that was a real gem" Jack retorted. Izzy giggled. "Well, Jack, I'd love to play around with you, but I have swim, so you can either come with me and risk getting smushed by some random, or you can stay in my locker until practice is over. Your choice". That was an excellent dilemma. Jack knew Izzy sweated a good bit and probably would have stunk up the locker too. She had made her odor present to him many times. The other choice, though, wasn't much better. Granted, he wouldn't smell, but in all likelihood he would be in much more peril.
Jack rolled his eyes. "I guess I'll stay in your locker. Make sure it's semi-clean though, I don't want to smell like cheese when I come out of there". Izzy laughed. "Oh come on, my BO isn't that bad". Jack gave Izzy a funny look and she shrugged. "It's whatever, Jack, you'll be safe. Now come on". Izzy brought her brother over to her locker and unlocked it, revealing an open gym bag with what looked like gym clothes and a pair of sneakers stuffed inside. When the smell of dirt, sweat, and goodness knows what other grime, came at Jack, he gagged, but then remembered something. He still had his shrink ray on him, if he stayed outside the locker--
Too late. As Jack was lost in plain daylight again, Izzy had stuffed him inside her bag, locked her locker up and went to the pool. Jack was now under the seemingly huge pile of clothes and with one single breath, Jack nearly threw up. It was hard for him mto distinguish what he smelled, but it sure was sweat. The damp air in the gym back made the environment humid, which essentially accentuated the smell to trash-like proportions. Needing to get out of here, Jack moved about the lgym bag, sloshing around the horrid gym clothes and disgusting sneakers trying to find any sort of leverage point to get out of the bag. Alas, it was futile. After encountering a rogue pair of underwear, Jack collapsed, barely conscious. In just a few more short moments, he was out completely.
By the time he woke up, Izzy had finished practice and went in the locker room to change and check in on her brother. When she opened her locker door, out spilled Jack, drenched in sweat and grime, gasping for air. "You.. have got to.. clean out your damn gym bag.. and wash those horrific.. clothes". Izzy just rolled her eyes and laughed. "Whatever, you big baby, it couldn't have been that bad". Jack glared at her. Maybe it was a mistake coming with her. Maybe he should have begged to stay with Lauren. But it was too little, too late now.
"Anyways, we gotta get going. Mom should be making dinner by now, come on". Izzy lifted Jack in the air and caught the scent radiating off of him. "Holy crap, you stink to high hell". Jack was almost fuming. "Gee, I wonder. Maybe you stuffed me in your sweaty gym clothes and forgot to give me a viable oxygen source?". Izzy ignored him and opened the door to her car, dropping her gym bag in the back. "Okay, Jackie. Here's the deal. I have to have both hands on the steering wheel, so I need you to behave, okay?" she joked. "You're so funny, I know how to act mature dingaling". Izzy gave him a grin and set him on the passenger seat. "Alrighty, here we go".
When the two get home, does Izzy choose to show Jack to their mom or does she hide him?
