I met Cassidy at our locker before school. I was still trying to figure some things out. First, why did she need her brother to kick my ass last week? She could obviously do it herself. Another was why did she set me up with April? I mean she was a nice girl and all, but I was starting to wonder if she was worth all the work.
I could be dating Peggy right now. Worst case would be my friends' network. Suzanne, Beth and Cindy would be more than happy to go out with me. If I really wanted to be a bad boy, there was Lisa Felton. Now that sounded like a plan.
"Hey, can I talk to you?" I asked.
"Sure, what's up, buddy?"
I was her buddy now...
"If you could handle your brother so easily Saturday night, why did you need him to kick my ass last week?"
She gave me one of those looks. Do girls go to classes to learn that look?
"Because of the rules, of course."
I just stared at her. Was it just me or was she a little whacky. She decided to help me out.
"When I learned self-defense, Dad made me promise to use it, only to protect myself or my friends."
I thought about it for a moment.
"So, Brad didn't make the same promise?" I asked.
"He did, but he can't follow the rules."
She said that as if it was an absolute given. She cocked her head.
"Would you like to learn self-defense, David?"
I knew that at some point I was going to get into a fight. Too much was going on in my life to not expect that someone would want a piece of me. I was a little surprised I had only been in two fights this year. The first fight was with Bill and the other with Luke and Ed.
"Yes, I think I would."
She gave me a big smile.
"Then meet me after school in the gym, and we will begin."
The first bell rang. I grabbed my books and headed to math class wondering what I had just gotten myself into.
Lunch was interesting. Cassidy caught me at our locker. She had plans.
"You are eating lunch with my friends, today."
I arched my eyebrows.
"What about my friends?"
"They can join us," she said in a matter-of-fact way. "I think that would be a good idea. Your friends need to meet April and her friends."
Hang on. April and I have had one date. I like her okay, but I was not sure I was at the point I wanted to subject her to my friends.
"Slow down, Speed Racer, April and I are just getting to know each other."
She waved her hand in dismissal.
"Exactly. You're just getting to know each other. She needs to meet your friends and find out that you aren't just on the make with her."
"Hey! I have not even made a move on her. Did she say something?"
"Tami is right. You are a 'stupid boy.'"
WTF! Tami amazed me at her ability to find things out. Cassidy was a handful. I didn't need her and Tami ganging up on me. I just followed Cassidy to lunch. She and Gina organized everyone. We ended up taking up three long tables. The freshmen girls were distributed randomly within my group. I about shit when Cassidy put April on one side of me, and Tracy on the other.
Cassidy leaned in and whispered in my ear.
"You make nice to Tracy. You two were very close, and you don't need to lose her friendship."
I just glared at her, but her look said she would kick my ass if I defied her. After watching Brad get choked out Saturday night, I had a new respect for little Cassidy.
I looked around and Luke was nowhere to be found.
"Where is your boyfriend?" I asked Tracy as I tried to make small talk.
She seemed shocked that I was talking to her after Friday night.
"We broke up."
"Sorry, I didn't know."
"Don't worry about it," Tracy said. Then she looked over at April. "Hi, I'm Tracy. I am David's ex. You must be April."
I sagged. I needed to kill Cassidy. The last person I needed being April's friend was Tracy.
"Hi, I'm glad to meet you. Are you okay with me dating David?"
"Yeah, I messed up. I need time to work on me. I know David loves me, but I have done some horrible things to him. I hope you can make him happy. He's a great guy."
I was a little taken back. I couldn't just turn off my emotions for Tracy. I also couldn't allow her to hurt me again. If there were not some feelings left, I would never have reacted the way I did Friday night. The girls continued to talk as if I wasn't there. Gina gave me a tight smile. She could see I was uncomfortable. She indicated with her head that I was to follow her. She got up and I excused myself.
Gina walked me out of the cafeteria into the hall.
"Are you okay?"
"Not really. Tracy still has a hold over me that I can't explain. I just can't seem to shake it, even though I know that I have to."
"Are you dating April?"
I knew that Gina took everything in absolute terms. I also knew this would get back to Kara.
"I am getting to know her. We went to Cassidy's party on Saturday night. I think I like her, but we are not dating."
She gave me a look that I couldn't read. She seemed to come to a decision.
"Do you want my advice?"
What? A woman asking before just giving it to you? Of course I needed advice. I was a guy.
"Yes."
"I personally think April is a good match for you. My only concern is whether she is ready for you?" she paused to let that sink in before she continued. "You have several close friends. You also jet off and spend time with my sister and other very good looking women. I'm afraid she'll not have the self-confidence to deal with all that, plus the media."
"I know, and that is why I'm taking it slow. Cassidy has it in her head that we are going out. She is like a bull in a china shop. I just hope she doesn't break April."
Gina snorted.
"You do attract the strange ones. Speaking of which, Lisa Felton has put the word out that she is going to rock your world."
I groaned. Gina gave me a whack on the arm.
"What is it with that girl? Alan shudders when I mention her name. What makes her so damned attractive?"
I raised my eyebrows. Little Alan had the balls to show interest in another girl with Gina around. I had been out of the loop too long.
"Do you think Alan could help me out with her?"
"DAVID!"
I held up my hands and made shushing noises.
"I don't think I can handle her alone. I think I need Alan to help me double team her," I explained to Gina as we walked back into the lunch room.
We got to the table and Gina announced.
"Alan, David needs your help."
His head snapped around and Jeff began to chuckle. I mouthed Lisa Felton, because I didn't need the whole lunch room hearing. Poor Alan, I think he had a stroke. Of course that got everyone's interest. Speak of the devil. Lisa came walking up. I winked at her so she came over to our table.
"Lisa, would you do both Alan and me?" I asked.
She looked at Alan and if you can believe this, he got even redder. The tables were all quiet. I glanced up at April and she was glaring at me. Oh, shit, I was truly a douche-bag. Before I could stop her, Lisa answered.
"If it means doing you, of course Alan can come along."
Before she finished, I had raised my hands and said, "STOP!"
I looked at April and she had tears in her eyes.
"I'm so sorry. This was a joke that went too far," I said and then I turned to my best friend. "Alan, I apologize for making you feel uncomfortable."
I could tell Alan was not happy, but Gina grabbed his hand and led him out of the lunch room. I trusted she could fix this with him. I went to April and Tracy helped me out.
"David was just trying to be funny, April. He would never do that to Gina and Alan," Tracy said as she held April's hand. April was listening. "Joke about it, yes. He would also never be intentionally mean to Lisa."
I found Lisa standing next to April.
"David and I tease each other to see who will blink first. We push the sexual innuendos pretty far," she gave April a wink. "Someday I'm going to rock his world."
April gathered herself and looked me square in the eye.
"When are you going to rock my world?"
Suddenly the tension was broken. April had a big smile on her face and I felt a tremendous relief. Another lesson learned. This one would serve me well. I needed to be more careful about what I said if I didn't want to be truly hurtful to my friends.
By the time I got to my tutoring session, I was horny as hell. Suzanne took one look at me and smirked. We had not been together in almost a month. We put off tutoring the first week because there was no need. Well today I had a need.
My Ice Princess was as sexy as ever. The combination of her pure white hair, pale blue eyes and her smoking body always got my motor running. We didn't say a word. I pulled her into an embrace and kissed her. She pushed me back and reached under her skirt and removed her panties. She then undid my zipper and fished out my cock.
Suzanne turned around and bent over the desk. I slotted my cock and pushed forward. I pulled out and grabbed a condom. We had almost forgotten to use one. I guess someone was as randy as I was, because she was well lubricated. She just grunted as I finally was buried to the hilt in her quivering quim. There was no finesse or love in our act. It was simply a hard fuck. We clearly both needed it and, when I finally came, we were both satisfied.
"Thanks, I needed that," I told Suzanne.
"Me, too," she said as she smirked at me putting on her panties. "You need to call Cindy. She needs it as much as I did. You're slacking on your friends-with-benefits duties. I mean seriously, you go jet setting all over the country. Then you lounge around in a hospital for a week. We have needs. Get your act together, buster."
"You both have my number, and know where I live. It's not like I have been hiding from you."
She patted my cheek.
"Settle down, we were waiting for you to get better. Greg told us that you were still recovering."
Thanks big brother. Suzanne had me pull out my schedule and we went over the syllabuses for each class. We spent the rest of our time working. I gave her a kiss and a promise to call Cindy.
I met Cassidy in the gym after school. They have open gym for kids who can't go home right away. Some parents work, so this was a solution, instead of letting the kids go home alone. I was surprised to see Coach Hope waiting for me with his daughter.
"David, Cassidy told me what she intends to teach you. I wanted to make sure you understand that this is self-defense. You can't use this to hurt others."
"Yes, sir. Cassidy explained that to me. I'm hoping it will help me with coordination and stamina, also."
He nodded to me. Then he turned to his daughter.
"Before you start teaching him anything you need to get him in shape. Run him through Sixty Minutes of Hell. When you are done, I'll be back to assess his fitness."
He walked away, and Cassidy gave me an evil grin. In the months to come, I wish I had never heard of sixty minutes of hell.
"Line up, soldier."
I came to attention and gave her a salute. I was joking. Cassidy was not. Over the next hour, she really did try to kill me. She ran me through the Marine Personal Training program. The sad part, at least for me, was she was doing them right along with me. This is where the competitive side of me is not good. I couldn't stop and let it be known that a hundred pound girl was in better shape than I was.
When we were done, I gathered as much dignity as I could muster and staggered to the double door exit that led to outside. Coach Hope found me on my knees in a snow bank dry heaving. I could see the steam pouring off my overheated body in the frigid air. Coach helped me stand up, and raised an eyebrow.
"If you tell Cassidy, I will have to kill you."
That finally got him to laugh.
"Son, I'm impressed that you didn't collapse sooner. She only has one speed, and that is full out. I used to embarrass smart ass recruits by letting her lead drill exercises. She would bury them."
I knew I would be paying for this in the morning. He helped me back in the gym and then led me to his office. Cassidy was waiting for us. I gave her a weak smile and collapsed in a chair. Coach sat down behind his desk.
"Son, I got a call from Coach Harrington. He was not happy to hear my plans."
"Sir, I straightened him out. I told him I was a team player."
From his reaction, I could tell he was not expecting that. Cassidy just grinned at me. I must have passed some kind of test. Coach Hope visibly came to a decision.
"You confuse me. Next year's seniors told me that you were all about you. I'm getting the impression that I have been listening to the wrong people. The graduating class is firmly in your camp. Now I don't know what to do with you."
"May I make a suggestion?" I asked.
"Why not?"
"My goal is to be a college quarterback. If things work out, I want to go as far as my talent will take me. This spring, I plan on playing both baseball, and seven-on-seven football. Then, over the summer, I'll go to quarterback camps so that I can measure myself against my competition.
"I'm telling you this, so that you know that I plan on playing quarterback in the future. I feel that I'm a better quarterback, right now, than Brad. I say that not to boast, but as a fact. If you think the best way for me to contribute this season is to play fullback, I'll play fullback. All I ask is that you work with me to become the best I can be.
"I'll work harder than anyone on this team to become the best. I'll dedicate myself to helping others become the best they can be. I ask that you make the same commitment to me. Help me to become better."
If I confused him before, I think he was now really not sure what to do with me.
"It sounds like you have thought about this. What's your take on next year's team?"
If I was going to throw in with Coach Hope, I had to be all in. I decided to take the chance see what happened.
"The junior class is a bunch of ass-hats," I said realizing that this was probably not the best approach. "They think that things will just be handed to them next season. They were not happy that three freshmen played, last year. Without a serious attitude adjustment, we're in trouble.
"I'll win state my junior and senior years. I want to take the freshmen and sophomores and work with them to get them ready. After letting Cassidy almost kill me, today, I want her to work with us on conditioning. She'll weed out the ones that don't want it. She can help get us into the best shape of our lives. If you give us a fair shot in the fall, I think the underclassmen can be a good nucleus for a team."
"Why not win state this year? I plan on making it my number one priority this year."
"Coach, I'm on board with that. I would like to walk out of here with a legacy for excellence. Not just for me, but for this school."
Cassidy was grinning from ear-to-ear. Coach Hope smiled at me. He turned to his daughter.
"Are you willing to commit to helping David?"
"Yes, sir," she said as she sat a little straighter in her seat.
He then turned to me.
"I don't take leadership lightly. I can see that I have my work cut out for me this coming year. I feel a lot better finding that you will be working with me. I'll have Cassidy work with you. She can be a tremendous asset to you. Few have realized her true value. I think you might be one of the few, but you'll need to give her direction. Don't hesitate to come see me when you need help."
With that, we were dismissed. When we got out of the Coach's office, we spent a few minutes planning. We decided to start next Tuesday, Monday was a holiday, to give everyone a chance to prepare for the after school conditioning.
When I got home, I found Tracy and Mary Dole in my kitchen with Angie. I wasn't really happy to see Tracy, but I wasn't feeling up to another confrontation. Greg was in the living room giving a massage. The three of them were sitting around drinking coffee. Mary was waiting for me to make dinner.
I got out my iPad. I had a new recipe app that I wanted to try out. Mary pulled out her Dad's recipe cards. She allowed me to copy them into the program. The cool thing was that I could take short videos and pictures. I stored it all out on the cloud.
We made pork chops with corn bread dressing that had apples and onions in it. Mary and I made a slaw with broccoli and cabbage. We also had lima beans. For dessert, I made a chia pudding, with coconut milk and lemon zest. Chia seeds are small, somewhat like poppy seeds, that become plump and soft when soaked.
Tracy and I seemed to call a truce to our hostilities. By the time Tom arrived from work, everyone was getting along. There was still tension, but I was hopeful that I could eventually be in the same room as Tracy and still be okay.
I spent some time talking to Tom and Mary after dinner. I thanked them for coming over. This was why I love living in a small town in the Midwest: people look out for each other. I was sure a big part of Mary and Tom coming over was because of what was going on with Mom and Dad.
After dinner, I convinced Greg to give me a massage. I fell asleep on the table. They left me there and I woke up very confused at two in the morning. I finally figured it out, and went to bed.
Tuesday January 14, 2014 – Freshman YearBefore school, I got a text to call Kara. She was in Europe doing a commercial. She was several hours ahead so I needed to call her now. It would be too late after school.
"Hey, stranger, how is Europe?"
"Not the same without you here. I had to fight off another model today. I swear they think I'm easy or something. But I didn't have you call me to complain about jerks. I wanted to let you know that the two shoots are set up. We are doing them in New York. You'll be coming in late Friday, so you don't miss school. I'll be there Saturday morning."
"Can you email me everything?"
"I already sent it to Kendal. Ask her for a copy," she said and then changed the subject. "You know that Adrienne lives in New York. My publicist wants to do something to get us some PR. See if she has some ideas."
I snorted.
"We should call Sunny Day and have her come out and interview us all. That way we can clear up my three faux girlfriend relationships."
"You would like that wouldn't you?" Kara asked.
"Ah, it was fun, but we need to do something different. I'll think about it over the next few days, and let you know. I look forward to seeing you."
"How is Tracy doing?"
"She came to dinner at our house with her mom and dad last night. It was a little awkward. If I didn't know she was so messed up, I might strangle her."
I heard voices in the background.
"Hey, I have to get back to work. Hang in there, and I'll see you soon."
She hung up. I sat on the edge of my bed contemplating my life. I needed to see my Mom. I jumped online and made flight reservations for California. I sent Dad an email to get directions to where they were staying. I would fly out Friday and get back Sunday afternoon.
By lunch, all the football players had been told about my plans to have Cassidy help us get in shape. We were sitting at our three tables goofing off when Brad, and one of the junior ass-hats, Tommy Cox, walked up. Tommy thought he was heir apparent to the middle linebacker position. If that happened, Brad and Tommy would be the captains of the football team.
"I hear you pussies are getting a girl to help you work out. What's next, you'll have the model boy fag teach you how to take a shower? Don't drop your soap," Tommy crowed.
I hate cowards. Tommy Cox was the worst kind. He would do nothing unless he felt he had the upper hand. He thought he had Brad as backup so he was making an ass out of himself. His normal tactic was to get on social media and trash you. It takes a real man to say hurtful things on the internet. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a shadow behind me. I turned around to find Jim Ball standing there.
"You have a problem with that?" Jim asked.
The smile faded from Tommy's face. I hated to tell him, but I was more scared of Cassidy than of Jim. Cassidy got up and got into Tommy's face.
"If you think you are such a big man, then come to one of my workouts. You'll be crying like a little baby before it's done."
"Back off, bitch," Tommy said as he pushed Cassidy back.
Two things happened at the same time. Brad got an Oh Shit look on his face, and Cassidy put Tommy into an arm bar and had him face down on the floor, squealing. I copied her Dad.
"Release!" I yelled.
Cassidy let him go, and gave me a smirk. I crouched down next to Tommy so only he could hear me.
"You better get with the program, and become a team player."
He glared at me.
"This is my team," he hissed.
That pissed me off. We were not going to win with pig headed jerks like that. If that meant me playing middle linebacker, so be it.
I stood up and shook my head.
"No, it's not. You need to talk to Coach Hope. I think he'll straighten you out on whose team it is." I turned to Brad and said, "I don't know what your problem with me is, and I don't really care. Just know this. Next time your little sister is choking you out, no one is going to stop her."
He turned bright red, and walked away. Tommy scrambled up and followed him. That team building session could have gone better.
I sat back down next to April. She had a basketball game tonight that I promised to attend. She was looking at me funny again.
Out of nowhere ... I had gas. I cut a tremendous fart. I snapped my head around at April, and scooted my chair away from her.
She saw what I was doing, and gave me a look that said I was dead meat. Everyone was chuckling until the smell hit them.
"April, did a gerbil crawl up your ass and die?" Jeff asked her.
Of course we all knew who did it. Thankfully, April had a little brother, so she knew what total jerks boys could be. She just gave us all a superior look.
"You might want to check that, it smells pure," Alan advised.
"I have one. What's the definition of surprise?" Cassidy asked us. "A fart with a lump in it."
"Confucius say: Man who fart in church sit in own pew," Gina said. We all booed her.
"What did the maxi-pad say to the fart?" April asked. "You are the wind beneath my wings."
April was a good sport. I liked her a bit more after that. Of course, no one wanted to sit near me.
I finally got to see April in something other than a baggy sweatshirt and jeans. She had on her basketball uniform. I was surprised at how nice her body was. I had been imagining that she was on the thicker side. I was sitting next to Cassidy and Beth when she came out for the tip off. Up to that point she had been in her warm up. Cassidy nudged me when she saw the look on my face.
"I didn't steer you wrong. Wait till you find out her big surprise," Cassidy taunted me.
I could tell she was baiting me, but I was intrigued. Did that mean she had a large rack under her sports bra? Maybe that was why she wore baggy tops all the time.
"Come on, Cassidy, you can tell me," I said.
Beth giggled. She gave me a knowing look. I gave her a look that told her to quit teasing me.
"Yep, I have gym with her, and have seen her in the shower. You're in for a surprise," Beth teased.
"You both suck. Here I was going to be a good boy. Now I'm going to have to go to the dark side to find out her secret," I warned them. Then I blurted out, "She isn't deformed or mangled, is she?"
I found Cassidy at our locker when I got to school Monday morning. When she saw me she acted funny and tried to duck out. I suddenly felt my stomach tighten up. "Freeze," I ordered. She wouldn't look me in the eye. "Tell me," I said. She took a deep breath and then it came out in a rush. "We went to the party on Saturday. April had a few drinks. I don't think she had ever done that before," Cassidy said barely above a whisper. Then she straightened up. "Luke was hitting on her,...
Kendal came and picked me up after church and brunch. We were meeting Tami, Missy, and Harper at the airport. Tami had gone home with Harper over the weekend. They had stayed for graduation at Wesleyan. The girls were excited about their big adventure. It turned out that they were seated with Kendal and Clare. Did I really want all of them comparing notes? I boarded first class to find a kid a little older than I was, was sitting in my seat. I hate it when that happens. "Hey, I think...
Bo Harrington met us at the apartment where we'd be staying. He'd found us a three bedroom within walking distance of the Camp, and Hunter and Ridge had agreed to room with me. Bo suggested we needed time away from the facility. Bo had rented the unit right across from us. I got settled into my room, and joined him across the hall. The West Coast guys were not getting in until late this afternoon. I'd caught the first flight out of O'Hare and had arrived just before lunch. Bo had food...
We landed in Newcastle just before five in the morning, local time. Devin had us quickly loaded in a travel van, and on the road to Ambleside. The driver said it would take two hours to get there, but Devin promised a big tip if we got there sooner. We arrived in front of the hotel at six forty-five. There, everyone got out except Devin and me. The Langdale Valleys are located in the Lake District National Park in the county of Cumbria, in the northwest of England. There are two valleys, the...
By the time I made it to school on Monday, there was lots of news. The first was Lindsey's tirade, which blew up on YouTube. My comment about Thank God that date is over was receiving the majority of the comments and Lily told me 90% were in my favor. The second was my confirmation of Adrienne having my love child. Lily was monitoring my twitter account and I had girls offering to show me the natural way to do it. Adrienne had called me on Sunday and asked if this was revenge for standing...
I woke up early and ran. Today was a lovely summer day. You could smell the cut grass, which reminded me I needed to mow our lawn. I took in our neighborhood as it slowly came awake. As I began to run I knew I needed to think. I quickly fell into the zone. Tami dating Trevor had rocked me. I'd been making decisions based on our long term relationship above and beyond just friendship. She said nothing had changed, but for me it had. My other two best friends, Alan and Jeff, were nowhere as...
I arrived at LAX and went to the baggage area. It wasn’t the prettiest airport I had been in. It seemed like there was a lot of construction going on. I came out and got in line for a cab. Talk about a hot mess. The traffic coming out of the airport was crazy. I just closed my eyes and let the cabbie do his thing. I arrived a day early, to meet with Bo Harrington. He had rented practice time at an area high school and arranged for a couple of receivers to work with me. This week I would be...
Today was the monthly school board meeting. They had the upgrades to the athletic program on the docket. Alan had sent an email to everyone, and a copy to their parents. The email gave a brief synopsis of what Tom and Dad hoped to accomplish and asked everyone to call the office to confirm attendance. The principal had asked him to do that. They needed a rough head count so they could get a large enough room. At lunch, I was happy to see Eve since I needed to talk to her. She left every...
I was lifting weights before school when my phone rang. I got off the leg press, to let Wolf have his turn. I answered the phone. "This is David." "Morning, stud," Missy said. "What's up?" "I have some bad news. I can't come up this weekend." "I was looking forward to seeing you. How come you can't make it?" "It's a family thing. Something came up, and I have to go home. Can I call you next week, and set something up?" "You bet." "Great, I'll talk to you next...
I slept most of the ride back. When I was about a half hour out, I called Mona to see if she wanted to pick me up. I then called home and Mom answered. I told her Dad was off the hook for picking me up. She laughed and said they forgot they were supposed to come get me. It must suck getting old. They say your memory is the first thing to go. Mona was waiting for me when we pulled up. She suggested going to her place to talk, but her parents were home. I told her we could go to my place. I...
Today I was meeting with my speed training coach at the gym. There had been some hassle to get him in the gym, because they didn't like outside trainers. They ended up making me pay for a guest pass to let him use the facility. I met him at the counter at the entrance. He was a young guy in his twenties who looked like he worked out ... a lot. "Jack?" I asked. "You must be David. Bo told me you were in shape. I hear you need to make some quick improvements in your speed before next...
Greg and Angie left for Chicago. They were going to be gone until Thursday. Kyle was staying with us, for the week. He was my responsibility during the day. Jim was not happy when I put Kyle's car seat in the back seat of his car. We met the guys at the health club to work out. The health club had daycare so Kyle got plenty of attention. I talked Bill, Mike and Wolf into coming to the health club so we could run passing drills. They had a big grassy area, so we had plenty of room. We had...
Mom dropped Dad and me off at the school. We were meeting the bus by the football stadium at ten o'clock. Coach Hope and Brad were the first two there. I could tell something was up. "We wanted to get you two together and clear the air. We're a team come this fall, and if you two are not on the same page we have a problem," Coach Hope told us. "Who wants to start?" Brad shot off his mouth before I had a chance to react. "David thinks he's God's gift to football and needs to be...
When we were getting ready to go to school there was a knock on the door. It was Barb Grimes and a young guy. "Hey, Barb, we're just getting ready. Would you like some coffee?" I asked as I ushered them in. "David, I would like you to meet your security for the weekend. This is Chuck Lowery." We shook hands. Chuck looked to be in his early twenties and about 5'10" 180 lbs. with short brown hair. He had a quick smile and firm grip. I got a cop vibe from him. I took them into the...
The last week had gone pretty much as expected. Everyone had seen the video. No one knew what to make of me, so they avoided me. I talked to Kendal and we put modeling on hold until I got my stitches out. The swelling had gone down, but I was still bruised. I had visited the plastic surgeon again and she was happy with how things were going. She told me that if there was scarring that she would use a laser to smooth things out. I had not played seven-on-seven football today. Mike had stepped...
Spring Break was finally here. Today we had a baseball tournament, and then freedom for a week. Tomorrow was Easter Sunday. We were the host family because everyone wanted to see Mom, now that she was cancer free. Grandma Dawson and Uncle John arrived last night. Today Uncle Jim, Mom's brother, and his family were arriving. Mom had gone last night to pick up her parents, Grandma and Grandpa Felton. Today's tournament was being held at the park Dad used to supervise. They had four baseball...
High School Part 1 - My Freshman Year [In which Shaun ignores the early warning signs of a serious medical problem - and later pays the price.] You know how it is when you wake up in the morning and feel a bladder that has filled up during the night and is signaling you that it wants to be emptied, and like RIGHT AWAY! So you shuffle off to the bathroom, lift up the toilet seat and stand in front of the bowl, holding your weapon in one hand and releasing a stream into the bowl -...
When Greg and I got to school, I was met at my locker by all my girl friends, plus Cassidy and Gina. Greg was smart; he peeled off and left me to my fate. I knew that Tami must have activated the phone tree and told them about Tracy. I could guess that by the pissed off looks and Tracy's absence. Eve was apparently elected spokesperson for the group. "Good morning, ladies. How did I get so lucky as to see all of you first thing?" Hey, it was worth a try. "David, we have a bone to pick...
Introduction: Read Welcome to College Becky waited nervously in her single dorm room. Typically as a freshman girl shed be required to share a room with someone, but her new college was renovating the primary freshman dorm, so many students were shifted to older senior dorms that were all singles. Not that she was complaining though, she liked the privacy. Her boyfriend, or at least thats how she thought of him would be arriving in a few minutes to pick her up for their first proper date....
“Breakfast is served. Everything a growing girl needs,” Kevin said, cheerfully walking in the bedroom with eggs, bacon, coffee and OJ.. Alex sat up sleepily and arranged her pillows. Kevin put the tray on her lap then kissed her gently on the cheek. “Thank you,” she said. Then she stretched into a yawn, “Mmmm, What time is it?” “Not quite Seven.” She picked up a piece of bacon and waved it at him accusingly, “That’s a little early given the night we had don’t you think?” He looked on...
I tried reaching Jeana for the rest of the summer. I did a few drive-bys and called every girl I knew who knew Jeana. The response was the same. They could get in to see her, but Jeana was on lockdown, and going to parochial school, a private girl’s parochial school, in the fall. She was depressed, but otherwise okay. Whenever one of the girls mentioned my name, Jeana would sigh and or cry, but she didn’t ask to see me or send me a message. It was over in more ways than one, I guessed, but it...
Twins Part 3 - Freshman Year (Alex puts on a sports bra, dresses as a girl for Halloween and notices further changes in his chest.) For Allison's birthday in late September, her folks took Allison, me and eight of her other friends to a nearby amusement park for the day. It was a lot of fun but by the end of the day I was major hurting. The rollercoaster rides weren't so bad but in a couple of the rides where we got bounced around more, my chest got bumped pretty hard a couple...
After living in the Netherlands for 33 years I was ready for a big change. I had been toying withthe idea of moving to another country to get away from the stress of it all for a while.I had girlfriends in the Netherlands. Wives.I had one nighters and 2 nighters. I wasn't doing bad for myself.But, there was something missing on the girl side. I love variety. I think I've been withevery kind of girl I COULD be with in the Netherlands. I started thinking about other countries.Other girls. Other...
Chapter 41: Party Time & Freshman Prom Although I had gone out with the rest of the team after the game, I still had a while to wait before going to Chloe’s birthday party, her birthday had been on Thursday, I had given her a card, but that was all, I hadn’t planned on a present, since I felt our friendship hadn’t reached that stage again. It was lucky that I had some time, since I received a surprising phone call. It wasn’t often that I had a call on the house phone, those I regularly...
Freshman Year Girlfriend==> PrologueI met Jacquelyn about two months into my freshman year of college. I look back now on the wild relationship we had now that it's over and I have the benefit of perspective. We were inseperable for nearly eight months, thirty-two weeks spanning the calendar between Halloween and the Fourth of July, which was the weekend it all ended and she was committed to the mental facility that still is her home even now, almost a year later.I thought of her yesterday...
Today was the beginning of one of the most important weeks of my football future. The camp was being held at Nike's Corporate Campus, in Beaverton, Oregon. Beaverton was located just seven miles from downtown Portland. I woke up with an uneasy stomach, which was a good sign. It meant I was ready. All I needed now was to puke, and I was good to go. Tami was in my bed and I watched her sleep. I was still confused about us having sex last week. There was something in the back of my mind trying...
August 25, 1981, Columbus, Ohio Jocelyn dozed off for about fifteen minutes, then woke up again. “Are you seeing Emmy tonight?” she asked. “Yes. Are you OK with that?” “Nothing changed in that regard, Mike. Until I get out of here and get better, we won’t have much chance to work on our relationship and figure out where things are going.” “You’re sure, Jos?” “Yes. Remember our plan. We need to stick to it. Nothing important has changed. I’ll just be a Freshman when you’re a Sophomore....
When does one become gay? When one’s born? When one realizes, or accepts that one likes other boys? When one has gay sex for the first time? I think it’s at birth, but some straight religious people will say no, if you never act on your urges you’re still ‘pure’ or ‘savable’. Well, this is my story. When I was sixteen I had a job delivering newspapers. I also had to make rounds collecting subscription fees. One ‘older’ man (I now think he was probably about 40) told me to come in and went to...
College SexIt all began my freshman year of high school. I was 14 and still a virgin to everything. That’s right, never kissed, or anything further. I’m sure you know what all that is. My name is Dan; I was average height and sort of an athletic build. Not one to be on the football team, but basketball always served me well. It was the first day of high school and I had 8 classes, all with people I knew, but no real friends. I wasn’t the smartest but I was smart enough to be in 3 honors classes, and...
Summer had been great---and so was life. I had coined my own little phrase-- “one lucky white boi”. Finally achieving 6', and those big ass jock feet now at a 12, poppin 8 hard squares of abs, 9” of vein poppin cock, and that hard round hairy ass. I admit, sometimes I just stood in front of the mirror and jacked off, sniffin on my bushy pits. I tried to keep myself in check, and not brag, or get a big head about it all. Damm, I had more shit than most seniors. But not just the awesome...
Jerome and Peter lay for several minutes not speaking and then it seemed that both were uncomfortable unsure of what to do next as the evening was getting on as it was close to midnight and the doors were locked at Peter's dorm as there was a curfew. Peter said that he should be get going and kissed Jerome on the cheek. He got up from the bed and as he was dressing he looked at the fat flaccid cock of his new friend just as Jerome was closing the robe. Peter knew that he wanted more of the big...
October 6, 1981, McKinley, Ohio I met Pete and Jason for breakfast in the dining hall. As usual, Clark was just getting out of bed when I left our room. “You got in pretty late last night, I guess,” Pete said. “We didn’t break up the study group until about 11:30pm.” “I had a long talk with Jocelyn.” “How’s she doing?” “Better, but she has a long way to go, physically, emotionally, and mentally. But at least she’s talking to me.” “I heard you’re invited to the Wednesday biology...
My parents had just dropped me off for my first year at college, and I was already starting to feel a little homesick. Damn, how the fuck could I last a day, let alone for years in this concrete jungle? That was until I saw her… I was the only person on the elevator when the doors were closing, until I heard a voice cut through the lobby, followed by the sound of wheels against the tile floor. “Hold the door!!!!!!!!!!!” Being the nice guy that I am, I rushed from the back wall to...
October 4, 1981, McKinley, Ohio “Let me guess, you’re sleeping on the couch again?” Mrs. Landers laughed. “Actually, I just came to talk to Nancy for a bit, then I have homework. I didn’t spend any time on it yesterday.” “Come on in. She’s in her room.” “Thanks.” I walked back through the house to Nancy’s room. She got up to greet me and we exchanged a hug and kiss. “Sorry for putting you off at work,” I said. “But I didn’t want to be interrupted.” “It’s OK. How is Jocelyn?” “I found...
“Aight---aight----everybody gather round. Come on---move in tite. You cant play football and be afraid to touch somebody. Gentlemen, welcome to Freshman football. Look around---you have 47 new brothers, and today, is the first day----of the rest of your life”. Jr High is over, and you are no longer little k I d s. You are now official representatives of East Tyler High School. You will conduct yourself accordingly at all times, in and out of uniform, in or out of school, 24/7 for as long as...
The Kick Part 1 - As a Freshman (Andrew finds high school much different than middle school, goes out for the Track and Cross Country teams, makes friends with Jeff and mistakenly buys some girl's panties.) Man, is high school different than middle school - at least when you're a Freshman - and not only being in a different school where at least 75% of the other kids are older than you - but all of a sudden you're sharing the hallways with these seniors that are at least a foot...
This is the second and probably last sequel to the story of Emma Smith- Abrams, a young transgendered girl {actually CAIS) from the book 'XX/XY'(originally titled 'Emma') and her adventures and experiences in her small Texas town that I will write. While there isn't much in the way of TG in this story line, none of this could have occurred if she was not. Again, credit for the original story belongs to Felicia Gabriel, who publishes her e-works exclusively for Amazon, to the best of my...
By the middle of October Jason and his friends were fully adjusted to the routine of the university. They already had passed their first midterm in Burnside's freshman class, all of them with high "B's". They had a clear understanding of the material presented in class to date and seemed well-positioned to pass the class on the first try and get one of the university's most difficult requirements out of the way. Jason's confidence in himself went up as he pushed Ken, Mike, and Lisa to...
October 9, 1981, McKinley, Ohio “You’re really going to cut back your hours to just the six-hour Saturday shift?” Nancy asked. “That’s what I told Mr. Sokolov yesterday, yes. And he can reduce the hours whenever he finds someone to take them.” “What happened?” “The Biology Department secured a grant for $1500 per semester for me. I explained my situation to Doctor Stanton, my advisor, and he talked to Doctor Norris. I’m starting in the honors program next semester, and there is a small...
Tami and I had arrived in Columbus the night before, because the football staff wanted to show us around before sign in at eleven that morning. We were directed to the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. The facilities had been originally built in the late 80s. Recently they did an almost twenty million dollar upgrade and expansion. If there was a better football facility in the country, I wanted to see it. Tami and I went to reception to meet our guide who turned out to be a guy that looked like...
By lunch, word of Peggy and me no longer dating was all anyone wanted to talk about. I had grabbed Yuri when he saw Peggy and Mitch holding hands. My little Russian tough guy had to be convinced I was okay with it. I appreciated he would be willing to deal with something like that. Peggy nodded to me to say thanks. Luckily, Mitch was none the wiser. I walked into lunch late, because I'd had to fend off Lisa Felton. She'd gotten it in her head I should take her to the Valentine's Dance on...
It was the most anticipated day of my life. More than anything football. More than Christmas. More than the day I finally popped out numbers 7 and 8 abs. More than the day I discovered hair up in the crack of my ass. Even more than the day just a few weeks ago when I finally measured up 9”. Lotta of fuck meat for a Freshman. Today, was my birthday—drivers license ! I met it with a bit of melancholy though. The original plan was to be at the car lot, and grab that jeep I had my eye on for a...
Introduction - "The Freshman" - thoughts about my third novel "The Freshman" is different from my previous two novels because it features a submissive male character and his dominant girlfriend. In part, I started this new novel to experiment a bit with my writing. The story starts out as a psychological novel, because I wanted to fully explore the relationship between Cecilia Sanchez and Jason Schmidt. For that reason the first discipline scenes in "The Freshman" come somewhat later...
I turned sixty-one this year. That was something of a surprise to me. I didn’t think I would turn sixty-one, ever. Most of my life I believed I would be dead before I was thirty. I thought that even after I turned thirty. Then I thought I’d be gone before I was fifty. I had plenty of evidence that I might be right. I had been in three plane crashes and I’ve lost count of the cars and trucks I’ve been in when they crashed. I have diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney disease. So, I was a...
James softly kissed the cute chubby freshman not wanting to frighten him away by rushing things. As the senior student kissed Jerome he put his hand to the freshman’s smooth boyish cheek and caressed softly. Jerome seemed to respond to the kiss and opened his mouth and the experienced student gently pushed his tongue into the boy’s mouth. As the kiss seemed to finish and without a word both excited students holding wine glasses nearly full slowly moved to place the wine glasses on the coffee...
The minute hand of the clock on the classroom wall completed one last agonizing circuit and reached zero. The bell rang, and immediately twenty-five high school freshmen jumped out of their seats. At the front of the class the English teacher called out "All right, class, remember, I want Chapters Two and Three read by tomorrow. There's going to be a quiz, so neglect them at your peril." There was a general groan, and the students began filing out of the room. Among them was Keith O'Donnell, a...
February 15, 1982, McKinley, Ohio “Mike!” Angie squealed when she opened the door to her room. “Hi, Ang!” She hugged me and kissed my cheek. “I missed you! How was home?” “Good,” I replied. “Have some time for me?” “Always! Your place?” “Sure.” She took my hand and we walked back to my room where I put on Shadows by Gordon Lightfoot, then grabbed a couple of Cokes from the fridge. “How was your weekend?” I asked. “Quiet. Yours?” “I spent some time talking to my dad. I haven’t...
“May I have your attention please---all members of the freshman football team are to report to cosmetology following the final bell”. Four hours to kick off. As the team gathered in the 'hair club' I explained to them the orders we had been given to get hair cuts. “I know it sucks guys, but we don't want the rep from other students accusing us of being privileged cause we're jocks, either. The handbook says 'off the collar, and above the ears'. So---that's exactly what we're going...
Freshman Year By Stacey D The fall semester and the falling of the leaves seemed so strange to happen at the same time, but this was Vermont and things change quickly here I'm told. I felt uneasy about leaving my home for the first time. I was now 17 years old and had never left the county where I was born. After 20 hours of driving I could see that the next exit up ahead is where I needed to get off the turnpike. I could not believe that I had a fully paid tuition to a...
The forth week of pre-season training had now begun. All the coaches and staff were now present, and this week we would began learning and running plays, and more section training. Of course there was an important item to take care of right off the bat. I called a meeting just before practice on Monday. “Maurice ---your cut---I think you know why”. “Yes sir” was all he said. OH—in other news, If you want war paint for Friday night, then be at the locker room about 30 minutes before dress...
Going into my freshman year of college I experienced the normal mix of emotions about the coming year. I was extremely excited about heading out on my own for the first time, but I was also nervous about the unknown. One of my main apprehensions was about having a roommate, which as an only child I had never had. I ran through about a dozen different scenarios about how bad it could go. What if he was a slob, or had poor hygiene, or listened to annoying music?However, after the first week of...
Gay MaleJune 8, 1981, West Monroe and Rutherford, Ohio “This entire conversation is going to be ‘too much information’, isn’t it?” I said when Liz and I left the house on Monday evening. “Probably. Is there anything you don’t want to hear?” “Anything at all about my little sister’s sex life!” I laughed. “But I guess you want to talk.” “‘Cause you won’t judge me, Mikey. You’ll listen and give me good advice.” I pulled out of the driveway and headed towards Rutherford. The Rutherford Free Clinic...
August 20, 1981, West Monroe, Ohio I had just hung up the phone when there was a knock at the door. I went to open it and saw the van Dorn girls standing on the porch. “My sister won’t be home until after lunch,” I said. “She gets off work at 2:00pm.” “Mom said you were really nice,” the younger one said. “So we decided to come say ‘Hi’,” the older one added. “I’m Mike. Which is which?” “I’m Abby,” the younger one said. “And my sister is Becky.” “Welcome to West Monroe. I think you’ll...
September 6, 1981, West Monroe, Ohio “Mike!” Emmy squealed, launching herself into my arms when she opened the door. “Missed me?” I asked as I carefully spun around with her. “Yes! Let’s go! I’m STARVED!” I put her down and we walked to my car for the drive to Marie’s Diner. “How was your first week of school?” I asked. “Nothing changes. I mean, sure, I’m a Sophomore now, but otherwise it’s all the same. How about you?” “It’s a huge change, especially the amount of homework. I used to...
Freshman Year Chapter 2 Dazed and unable to grasp reality, I opened the door and looked out into the hallway trying to decided which way led to my room. Either direction would be fine I believed if only to get away from Maggie. I had no sense of where my room was but I did realize that I should start to move and fast. But somehow fear had trapped me into not wanting to move in case I made a bad decision. What had just happened to me could not have happened, but it did and it was just...
I returned to school in the middle of Freshman Week. I was in an upperclassman dorm so I could drink whenever I wanted to. Janice and the cataloging were coming along well. Since we had already cataloged all shows through the middle of summer, there were only maybe fifty or sixty a week to catalog, which took little time. Mike, our senior resident, told me that a bunch of freshmen would be coming over for Q&A that night. They were short one senior and asked if I, a lowly sophomore, wanted to...
BisexualAugust 24, 1981, West Monroe, Ohio “Whoa!” I gasped. “It fits, Mike. And it explains everything that happened afterwards.” “Mom, Abby exhibits the same behavior. She basically offered to have sex with me when she said hello the first day, and Becky implied Abby has been doing that since she was twelve.” “Stay out of that Mike. That’s an issue for the van Dorns.” “Is it? Emmy told me that Abby was here earlier and that Liz and Abby were acting crazy so she left and went home.” “You think...
October 3, 1981, Rutherford, Ohio “Hi, Mike.” “Hi, Mr. Mills. I was just going in to see Jocelyn.” “One of the staff psychologists would like to talk to you first.” “Me? Why?” “To talk to you about Jocelyn. I can’t force you to do it, Mike, but I think it would be a very good idea.” “When? I want to see Jocelyn today.” “If you go back down to the ground floor, there’s an outpatient clinic. Just go to the desk and ask for Doctor Henderson. She’s expecting you.” I turned and went to the...
