CHAPTER 5
Shelby dropped Scott off and he ran into the locker room to get changed. When he finally made it out to the football field the coach was standing there with his hands on his hips. "Well Barringer I'm glad that you could honor us with your presence." Scott just let that remark go as he caught up with his team. Practice didn't go to well with him because he hadn't been getting enough sleep lately. Shelby and him were having there own extracurricular activities in the middle of the night. Scott just wasn't performing 100% for the coach.
"Hey Barringer, what's the matter with you. You not getting enough sleep lately?"
Scott jokingly replied "Yeah too much sex lately." The rest of the players on the team burst out laughing.
"Maybe I should make you run 10 extra laps then."
"Relax Coach it wasn't with your daughter." This brought even more of a roar of laughter with the guys.
"You'd better stay the hell away from my daughter. Give me 10 laps now."
Scott took off running as he proceeded to get cat calls and cheers from his teammates. He was exhausted and panting pretty hard when he finished. He walked over to the bench where is teammates were just finishing up practice.
Coach says to Scott, "Did that wear you out enough so you won't have any energy left for sex?"
Scott was breathing hard and trying to catch his breath. "Yeah, I'm going to have to cancel my date tonight. Anybody got a cell phone? By the way Coach what's your home phone number again?" By this time everyone was practically on the ground laughing and the coach wasn't to happy.
He threw the football real hard at Scott almost knocking him over. "Get the hell in the shower Barringer and make it a cold one," he said shaking his head. Everyone left in high spirits and in good moods.
After having his shower Scott waited in the hallway for Shelby to come. The cheerleaders were there practicing some cheers. "Hey Scott, there's a party after the game on Friday night. You should come it'll be fun. What do you do after the games on Friday? No one seems to see you around anywhere."
By that time some of the other football players came out of the locker room. "Oh he's to busy banging the coach's daughter."
Scott, "Gary shut up. I was only giving the coach a hard time like he does us."
Gary, "Cindy's right. No one ever sees you hanging out anywhere. What do you have some secret life that you're not telling us about?"
"Gary stop being an asshole. What I do with my life off of school grounds is nobodies business." He walked out of the school to wait for Shelby outside.
Gary was a big jerk of a guy and didn't care whose feelings he hurt. He started talking to the other guys and girls around him "Maybe he's gay. What do you guys think? I mean tons of girls are always hanging all over him but he doesn't seem to be interested."
Susie one of the cheerleaders said, "yeah, we keep inviting him to parties and stuff but he never comes. Several of the girls have asked him to come to the dances and he always refuses. Does he act weird in the locker room?"
Gary, "Not really. I mean he kind of keeps to himself. A lot of gay guys act shy though because they don't want people finding out. I have a cousin who is gay. I'll see if he could get Scott into a situation where he might confess something."
Susie, "I hope not because Scott is a really nice guy and very cute. It sure would be a waste of a lot of talent and good looks if he were."
Gary decided to advise a plan for his older cousin to come in contact with Scott.
Scott was exhausted when he got home. Shelby seemed to have a little more energy, which Scott couldn't keep up with. "Scott what's the matter? It's like you don't want anything to do with me."
"Shelby I'm really sorry but I'm just really beat right now. I've got tons of homework and the coach made me do 10 extra laps today. I've got to go to my room and start cracking the books. I need to get some more sleep. Can we take a brake for one night ok?"
"Sure Scott whatever. I'll go help your mom make dinner."
Scott started to head towards his room when His father came in from work. "Just a minute Scott. I need to talk to you. Come down here." Scott grudgingly walked over dragging his feet. "I got a call from School today."
Scott cursed under breath because he knew the lecture was coming. "They said that you cut out of your 7th period class early with no excuse. I want to know why?"
"I had an excuse it just wasn't in written form. I told them that I had an appointment."
"What appointment did you have? You had non that I was aware of?"
"I went with Shelby to her Dr.'s appointment."
This set Martin off for some reason. "No. We had a deal. School comes first. You can't just be cutting out because Shelby says so. You look like hell Scott. Are you getting enough sleep?"
"You wanted me to be on the honor roll so I'm staying up late studying. What more do you want dad?"
"I just think that if you spent less time with Shelby than you wouldn't have to stay up so late. You'll serve after school detention tomorrow because of that one stupid move you did and I had better not see you pull another stunt like that again. Is that clear?"
"Fine, can I go do my homework now?"
"Get going."
Scott stomped his feet up the stairs with every step he took. He got out his books and realized that since he cut out early from his chemistry class that he didn't know what was for homework. Gary was in his class so he decided to give him a call. Gary told him that it was working on the one experiment that required partners for. Gary told him to come over so they could work on it together. This was working out great because Gary's parents were out of town and he had the whole house to himself. This was the perfect time to set Scott up. He quickly called his cousin and told him that he had a good -looking jock coming over and he was looking for a sexual experience. Randy asked him if it was his first time but Gary didn't know. Randy loved seducing the young virgin guys that have never experienced their first gay affair.
Once Scott arrived at Gary house he began laying out his books. Gary, "So Scott why did you cut out early from class today?"
"I had an appointment with a close friend." He sat down and opened up his book.
"Boy or girl?"
Scott wasn't really paying attention because he just wanted to hurry up and get the work done so that he could leave. He looked up and realized that Gary was waiting for an answer. "What? Does it matter? Let's hurry up and get this done so I can go home."
"Did you get in trouble?"
"For skipping out? Yes, I have after school detention tomorrow. Can we cut the chit chat and do some work here." By that time Randy came over and was introduced to Scott. Scott failed to see the importance of a visiting cousin because it was just taking longer to get things done. Randy helped them understand a few problems that they were facing and they were almost done when Gary jumped up and said, "Sorry I've got to go to work at the pizza place. Randy why don't you help Scott finish up here and I can get the information before class tomorrow."
Scott thought this is strange. "You never mentioned before that you had to go to work."
"Well that's because I thought that we would be finished before now. Randy has had this subject before so he can help you finish. Bye."
Scott thought fine; I'll just hurry up finish and get home. As he was writing a conclusion for one of the problems, Randy came over and sat next to him. Scott just scooted over a little and continued writing. Scott noticed that Randy seemed to bring his presence a little closer until he was practically breathing down Scott's neck.
"Do you mind? I need some room to write here."
"Do you like playing football?" Randy asked.
Scott looked up thinking that this guy was acting awfully strange. "Yeah it's ok. I like most sports." He continued to write on his paper. The doorbell rang and Randy went to answer the door. It was one of close acquaintances. Randy introduced Bill to Scott. Scott now started thinking that things were definitely getting a bit odd.
"I think I can finish this on my own so I'll be going now."
Randy, "What's the rush. We are just starting to get to know each other."
"I have plenty of friends thanks I should go."
Scott started to get up out of the chair and Randy pushed him back down. "Has anyone ever told you that you have sexy eyes?"
Scott couldn't believe what he had just heard. "Yeah my girlfriend. What's your problem man. I'm not your kind so leave it." He tried to get up but this time Bill came over and held him down.
"Now how do you know you're not our kind? Have you ever had sex with a guy before?"
Scott was beginning to struggle now. "No and I don't plan on it either."
"Scottie you never know how good something can be until you can experience it first hand." Randy sat down on Scott's lap in a straddled position while Bill held him still. Randy held into the both side of Scott's head as he brought his mouth onto Scott's lips.
Scott jerked his head back with all his might. "Get the fuck off me man. You queer get off I'll kill you." Scott brought his feet up and kicked with all his might. The kick sent Randy falling backwards as Scott backhanded Bill in the head. Scott was able to get up and head for the door.
"Go ahead and run Scott but it won't change the fact that everyone at school thinks you're gay," Randy said rubbing his stomach where Scott had kicked him.
All the way home Scott was bothered about what Randy had said. "Everyone in school thinks you're gay." He even started thinking that maybe Gary had set the whole thing up. He couldn't wait until tomorrow so that he could get his hands on him. What had he done to make people think that he was gay? The thought was running and running through his head but he couldn't find an answer.
He got home and went straight to Shelby's room. She was lying on her bed reading a book for English class. What Scott needed more than anything right now was the feel of a female's touch. He walked over to her without saying one word and took her in his arms and held her. He held her for like a whole minute without even talking.
Shelby was confused and realized that something must have happened. She pulled away and brought his face up to meet hers. "Scott what's wrong?"
"What? Does something have to be wrong for me to want to hold you?"
"No of course not. If there were something wrong you would tell me right?"
He looked up into her eyes and brushed her hair back behind her ears. "Yeah, I just wanted you to know that I love you. Sweet dreams." He started to leave when she asked. "Did you get your Chemistry homework done?" He paused and then said, "yeah, as much as I could. Good night." He smiled a fake smile and left your room. Shelby wasn't dumb. She knew that something must have happened but until he was willing to talk about it than there was nothing she could do but keep his spirits up.
The next day at school Scott ran into Gary in the hallway. He zoned in and cornered Gary into a wall. "Hey Scott what's up? Did you finish the chem homework?" Scott grabbed him by the front of his shirt and got right into his face. By this time word had spread about a potential fight that was about to take place. When the word fight is heard , it usually draws in a lot of admiring people. A crowd of students began forming around the area.
"You bastard. You set me up didn't you?"
"What are you talking about Scott?"
"You know damn well what I'm talking about. What was with the whole "Oh this is my cousin the gay fuck and his friend?"
"Listen Scott whatever sexual preferences you have is none of my business."
Scott yelled at the same time throwing a good right hook to his lower jaw. "I'm not gay you asshole." This brought a straight punch from Gary right into Scott's left eye. The fight had begun. They were all over each other pounding away as the students were cheering and taking bets on who was going to win. There was so much commotion that this excitement brought a hoard of faculty members to the rescue. The football coach got through the crowd of students first and pulled Scott off of Gary. Another teacher grabbed Gary and they were both ushered down to the principal's office. They were both taken into two different offices and the coach shoved Scott hard into a chair and dared him to move a muscle. The coach sent someone to go and get an ice pack and some wash cloths from the clinic.
He stood over Scott and just glared. "You want to tell me what the hell that was all about?"
Scott didn't say anything. "Listen Barringer, you had some problems last year and was sent away to another school. Are you starting up the same way again this year?" He still didn't get any response. The coach went over and lifted Scott's head and looked into the only eye that wasn't swollen shut. "Are you on drugs again? If you are than that's it. I'm through with you. I promised your dad that I would give you another shot but I'll be damned if I'm going to put up with this kind of crap from you again."
Scott finally spoke even though it was in a low whisper. "I'm not using any more. I'm clean"
"Well you could have fooled me with this kind of behavior. I'm going to have to call your dad. You know the rules for fighting in school. Expulsion." He went over to pick up the phone and Scott became very scared.
"Please coach don't call my dad. Give me detention or whatever but don't call my dad."
"I'm sorry Scott but you had your chance. I took you back in and put you on the team and look at what's happened within the first week of school. First you skip out of 7th period with no excuse, you come late to football practice and now I find you fighting one of your own teammates in the hallway. The school will not tolerate this kind of behavior. What is going on with you? You are such a talented kid but you are totally out of control. Maybe being expelled for several days will give you time to think about what's important in your life. When you come back than maybe you can stay focused."
Scott lowered his head and quietly said "I won't be back"
"Of course you'll be back. They won't expel you forever."
Scott looked up and said, "If you call my dad than I won't be back because I'll be running away."
The coach looked stunned. "What's going on at home Scott?"
Shelby dropped Scott off and he ran into the locker room to get changed. When he finally made it out to the football field the coach was standing there with his hands on his hips. "Well Barringer I'm glad that you could honor us with your presence." Scott just let that remark go as he caught up with his team.
