I know that I will never be able to forget

I wrote the following story for a class. This story is true but i changed the names for the privacy of the individuals mentioned.

   
I have heard studies have been done showing that smell is the sense tied longest to our memory but I know that I will never be able to forget the sound that Jamie’s leg made when it broke.
It was 5:15 in the morning my body was screaming in pain of tiredness begging for sleep as the alarm clock radio clicked on playing tunes of happiness that I could only pretend to have. I quickly turned off the radio and jumped out of bed. My driving force at this point, fear not only the fear of waking my roommates but the fear of being considered a heretic for any longer. Hurriedly I jumped into my gym shorts and athletic shoes. I had no time to waste I was a mindless slave to an unfriendly routine. I met the others by the steps where we waited silently for our punishment. Jamie was one of the other students waiting. I can’t say at the time I really cared for him. I cannot give a valid reason for not liking him other than that he often got confronted by teachers and other students and I usually joined in on this traditionally accepted group hazing. I was also mostly glad that it was him taking the heat rather than myself. We began our work out when a faculty member arrived which was apparently the only legal way in which we were allowed to have 5:30 workouts. Wearing his nicely pressed khakis, blue shirt with a white collar and pink tie the assistant dean told us to start with lunges up the stair case that led up to the administration building. This is the same stair case that we will walk up the on day we graduate. However that day was not this day and because my attitude at the time was less than satisfactory with the schools expectation I was lunging up them. After the three sets of lunges on the stairs we were told to then do sprints. At this early in the morning my body is used to me still being asleep and because of this the acids in my stomach went into shock. I began to vomit while running sprints I paused briefly during the work out to purge stomach acid into the nearest bush and then I quickly jump back into line sprinting up the steps. My legs were screaming in pain by the time I got to the bottom of the stairs to catch my breath. We started up again with star jumps which are also very harsh on the legs. After 25 synchronized star jumps we matched up with someone close to our weight. I got stuck with Greg who was closest but still had a good 30 pounds on me. I knew exactly what was coming next and just wanted to cry. I knew I’d be limping for a few days after this. Jamie was the first to ascend the stairs with another student on his back I followed carrying Greg on my back. We hit the grass patch right before the next set of steps when it happened. I heard a pop and a crack Jamie fell right in front of me. “Oh fuck! Oh shit!” he screamed. The assistant dean came over to see why Jamie was screaming. Everyone else stopped to see what had happened. I saw what had happened and I know what had caused this to happen. Here was a school who’s idea of getting 16 year old kids to behave was by having them workout to a very unhealthy point. They were not allowed to beat us but to tell you the truth what they did instead was worse it was not uncommon to see kids walking around with crutches or their arm in a sling. I witnessed a lot of abuse from kids doing iso-abs till their arms bled to kids being forced to stand in the snow in their underwear. As I get older I try to forget about this past but I will never forget the sound Jamie’s leg made when it broke.

Ursus:
OUCH!!!

It seems Hyde School relies on incidents like this to set their parameters, not common sense! What happened to Jamie after that?

Anonymous:
His leg was in a cast for the rest of the year. he didnt come back the following year. The real irony was that he was on 2-4 for trying to run away.

Anonymous:
Careful, kids! Try to run away, and Hyde School will break your legs!

This guy was sent to Outpost in Maine from the Woodstock campus, and almost lost his thumbs due to frostbite. Complaints of pain were not taken seriously by staff 'till it was almost too late. Anyone who has ever been in that situation at Hyde knows exactly what I am talking about.
