He goes into the locker room and start to lose control and turns again

He punches the locker leaving a huge dent in it

Connor: What am I…

He says while becoming angry

Cassidy: Connor?

She says in the hallway

She walks towards the locker room

Connor hears her and tries to hide in the locker room

He turns the water on so it becomes really steamy in the room

Cassidy: Connor?! You in here

As she enters the locker room

She sees it really steamy and head over to turn the water off

When she turns it off she stand there seeing a shadow in the steam

Cassidy: Connor?

The steam disappears and Connor is standing there naked, wet and with a towel around his waist…. Normal

Cassidy covers her eyes

Cassidy: I'M SO SORRY

Connor: What are you doing here!

He says as he tries to hide his body

Cassidy: I came to check on you but imma leave

She runs out the room with her eyes covered as he sighs in relief

The next day at school comes and a paper on the wall shows who made the team and who is starting

Connor sees Dominic and Cassidy standing at the paper with many other students

He walks up

Dominic: I MADE THE TEAM!

Dominic: I'M WIDE RECEIVER 2!

He looks as he reads the paper and it says the 2011 Craydon Falls Varsity Football team and he looks down at QB2 and next to it, it says Connor Bell
