The reader can infer that he woke up late and had to rush to school. His sprinting, shortness of breath, and urgency to get inside before the doors close suggest that he is in a hurry, likely because he didn't leave himself enough time to get to school.
Jason sprinted down the sidewalk, his backpack bouncing against his shoulders. He glanced at his watch—7:58 AM. His breath came in short gasps as he weaved through the crowd, dodging a man walking his dog and a woman carrying coffee. The school bell hadn’t rung yet, but he knew he only had a few minutes left. As he turned the corner, he saw the front doors beginning to close. Pushing himself even harder, he leaped up the steps two at a time and barely slipped inside before the door shut behind him.
