A New Town and a New Girl

My name is Phil and I was 15 when my dad got a promotion at work to manage a satellite office of the company he worked for and because of that, we had to move to a new town. I’m Chinese and from San Francisco so the move was a bit hard for me. We moved to a small town where it was mainly white people, most of whom have never seen an Asian before. Most of the people at school were either ignorant or just plain idiotic. Everyone here were a lot bigger than what was normal in San Fran – the jocks weren’t really the muscular type. In fact, a good portion of them had obvious beer guts and somewhat flabby man boobs. But they all had muscle and were practically 7 ft tall. Half of the school towered me with my height at 5 ft 7 inches, even the girls. And most of them were not the skinny type you see in San Fran – they all had some meat to them and their bodies overall were bigger, including bums and breasts. Must be the diet – everyone here ate nothing but meat, potatoes and starch and almost everyone in school drank like no tomorrow whenever they had the chance.

Things at school started out rocky. Because I was not a big guy – I wasn’t skinny but I wasn’t buff or muscular either. There was no six pack abs and if you pinch, I do have a bit of flab but nothing majorly noticeable so I was able to wear a lot of form fitting clothes, which is the style in San Fran, a lot of guys would call me names like “fag” and “chinky” but I would shrug it off. Though one day, this moron of a jock named Tucker decided to take things to the next level by harrasing Allan, a fat guy at school. Tucker is Alpha-Jock and he is under the delusion that he runs the school. He used to date this girl named Rachel, a girl who’s 5 ft 4, one of the shorter girls in school. Unlike most of the other girls who had long hair, Rachel’s was short but she had really nice bangs. Her hair was also red but I don’t think it’s natural. She was definitely more plump than the Asian girls back home but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t find her attractive. She had plenty of curves and a nice fullness to her body but she wasn’t fat or chubby by any means. I’m guessing she’s probably a 36B or 34C cup. She has dark green eyes and a pair of lucious lips that looked silky but weren’t thick or overbearing like Angelina Jolie or Julia Roberts. Even though they’re not together anymore, he still hopes to rekindle what they have and acts macho around her all the time. A lot of the guys at school won’t even go near her because he’ll threaten them with a pounding if they even try anything.

Anyway, he decided to gang up on Allan with a bunch of his buddies and for some stupid reason, I decided to play hero.

“Back off, Tucker!”
“Oh look, tiny dick here thinks he has a pair of balls!”
“Can’t say the same for you! What, does your daddy not give you enough attention so you start looking for it at school?”
“Don’t cross me, chink!!!”

At that point, Rachel passed by and told him to back off but of course, now that “his girl” is here, he wasn’t going to let me win.

“You want a piece of me?” he yells.
“At the way you drool and sweat like a dog, I think half of this hallway has a piece of you…”

A bunch of kids in the hall laughed and I caught a slight grin coming from Rachel. Just for that, Tucker started throwing punches and me being the quick little guy, easily dodged them. I even managed to get him to hit the concrete wall a few times, hurting his hand in the process. I knew going head to head with Tucker was a bad idea. He towered me in height and probably doubles me in body weight. And just because I’m Chinese, doesn’t mean I know martial arts and even if I did, I don’t know whether it would work against such a beast. Eventually, the hall monitor came and he was suspended for bullying.

As time went by, things at school got a bit better. I’m good friends with Allan and we also hung out with some of the other “rejects” for a lack of a better term – computer nerds, comic book geeks, video game enthusiasts and even a gay friend that people made fun of. They were all cool but the meat heads at this school made their lives hell. Somehow, I became the official representative for these guys on all things social in school, defending them and helping them when they needed and overall, giving them opportunities to come out of their shell and have the confidence in doing what they love and being proud of it. I think a lot of people, including Rachel, respected me because of that. In fact, she and I became somewhat close. At first I thought she was like the same as those valley girls at school but she’s a lot more down to earth and quite approachable. One member from my social reject group of friends even tried to ask her out but she let him down gently like a lady would.

One day on my way home from school, I bumped into Rachel. Turns out she goes in the same direction as I do from school and lives just a 10 minute walk away from my place. We had a few friendly chats on our walks home, something that drove Tucker insane. But one day, she said she needed some help with her chemistry homework and I offered to help her during lunch the next day.

The next day, we met for lunch and I even brought Allan along so she doesn’t get any grief from Tucker. I managed to help her get through her homework fairly easily as chemistry came natural to me. Would’ve been even quicker if I wasn’t distracted by her perfume. At this point, I think I started liking this girl a bit as she was different from most of the vain, materialistic blonde bimbos at school. But I couldn’t do anything as she is dating Tucker. Feeling comfortable with me around, Allan starting asking her questions, some a bit inappropriate like “So you seriously sleep with a idiot like Tucker?” I tried to steer the conversation away and thank god Allan had band practice during the latter half of lunch otherwise, I don’t know how much more I could keep this up. When he left, she seemed to get more comfortable in talking to me.

“You know, you shouldn’t feel bad when Tucker says those things about your umm…size…”
Reacting a bit surprised that she would bring up such a topic, I said “No offense, but I don’t let anything Tucker says get to me cuz quite frankly, he’s not that bright.”
“Well, I know that subject can be a bit uncomfortable for people like you…”
“People like me?!?” I blurted out.
