This choice: Seth drinks some milk before soccer, making his legs grow • Go Back...Chapter #4Seth drinks some milk before soccer, making his... by: scriptboy “Are you sure you guys don’t want any?” Julian asked Tom and Seth, who were his friends from the seventh grade in middle school.
Tom shook his head. He was happy with his can of soda. Seth, on the other hand, had always been closer to Julian. Seth was a year younger, and he had just turned fourteen. He felt bad for Julian, so he just shrugged as he got up from the table in the cafeteria. He walked over to Julian and took the carton of milk from him.
“Oh, I’ll just finish the carton you got in your hand, dude!” Seth sighed, taking the small milk carton from his friend. He took it, placed the spout against his lips and finished it. “Hmm… It does have a weird taste to it!”
Seth was about to walk off to his next class when Mrs. Sanders walked up to their table. Mrs. Sanders was a big, tall, and heavy-set woman. She was the manager of the cafeteria, and she was all the authority in the place. She was carrying four small milk cartons in her hands.
“I got four unopened little milk cartons here and I don’t want to throw them away. Their expiration date is just a few days away. We do NOT waste food in this place!” she said as she looked at Seth and Julian. She had just noticed how Seth had finished a carton of milk and tossed the empty carton in the trash bin. “Here, Seth. I see that you like to drink milk. Catch!” Mrs. Sanders shouted, as she tossed the cartons at Seth one-by-one. Seth caught them and set them down on the table before him. “Don’t throw them away! Drink them so I don’t have to throw them out.” Mrs. Sanders turned around and started to walk away.
Seth grabbed the four cartons and started walking towards the large trash can, when Mrs. Sanders turned around and shouted at him.
“Don’t even think about it!” she hollered at him. “Drink the milk. NOW!”
“But I gotta go to cl—” Seth pleaded.
“Drink the milk. NOW!” Mrs. Sanders bellowed. “If you don’t drink all the milk, I’m gonna give you detention! I do NOT want to throw them away! Show me that you finished every carton. DO IT NOW!”
Seth started to tremble with fear. He was deathly afraid of this woman. He quickly opened the first carton and drank all of it. When he was done, he held it upside-down, to show that he consumed every drop. After that, he drank all the other three cartons of milk before tossing the four empty cartons into the trash bin while the large woman looked on with an angry look on her face.
“Well, your bones will get stronger!” Mrs. Sanders chuckled. “And your muscles will grow! You’ll come back here and thank me some day. Now, get outta here and go to class! GET OUT! GO TO CLASS!”
“Y-y-yes, m-m-ma’am!” Seth stuttered as he grabbed his bookbag and walked off. He stopped by the boy’s bathroom first, since he had to pee badly. After that, he ran to his history class. Once that class was over, he walked to the locker room where he changed into his soccer gear. He had soccer practice that day!
So far, nothing had happened to Seth following lunch break when he had consumed all four cartons of milk, but that was about to change.
What happened to Seth in soccer practice during the last two periods at school?
