6:30am the alarm goes off…

Matt woke up to the sound of his alarm. “Oh crap, not another day coming to knock me down.” Matt was not enthusiastic about his new school to say the least. His first day had progressed without incident but he knew his luck would run out sooner rather than later. It always circled back to the same old story of him being the new kid and being beaten up by the football players when teachers weren’t looking. Matt knew he should’ve told someone about being bullied but somehow felt he had to preserve his sense of pride by not running to a teacher at the first sign of trouble. “If you can’t get around a problem, go at it head on.” He remembered his dad telling him as he grew up. Matt slowly rolled out of bed and began getting ready for school.

Same as every morning Matt would come down stairs, eat his breakfast and be ready for the school bus to arrive. Standing by the bus stop he couldn’t help but think back to what had happened the night before. Not only had he lost his virginity but it had been taken by the woman of his dreams: his mom! Matt quickly tried to think of something else as he saw the bus coming down the street and he knew he would start getting an erection if he continued with his train of thought.

As Matt boarded the bus he was stopped short by the driver. “Hey you’re the new kid that was too chicken to take the bus on his first day.” The driver said which resulted in quiet chuckles from every kid on the bus. Matt, embarrassed beyond repair simply looked up at the driver and greeted him. The driver looked at his face and saw something odd about the teenager. Although having just been publicly humiliated he stood strong and faced it with a calm bravado. “This scrawny kid has got heart.”

The driver thought to himself. “Hey kid, there’s one simple rule at this school, keep your head down and you will be left alone.” The driver said. Matt gave a nod and proceeded to find an empty seat, and to no surprise the only available seat was at the back which meant he had to walk past all those judging stares from the other kids.
Matt took it like a champ and continued walking as he heard quiet giggles and comments about his appearance as he walked past to his seat.

The bus finally arrived at the school but Matt just saw it as another opportunity to be judged by the entire school this time but something was out of place. As he walked down the corridors he couldn’t help notice the stares he was getting but they were different to the stares he was getting the previous day. This time everyone looked at him like he was dark and mysterious, like he had a secret to which his life depended on. Half way through the day Matt was sitting at a table in the cafeteria during his lunch break alone as he couldn’t be bothered to make friends when suddenly he felt his mobile phone vibrate against his thigh in his pocket. He pulled it out and read a text message he had just received from him mom.

“Today any better than yesterday?” It read.

“No not really, it’s about the same. Lame as ever.” He replied.

“I’m sorry sweetie but there’s nothing I can do about that, you have to go to school.” She wrote.

“I know, I’d rather be at home with you though.” He replied.

“I’d rather have you at home with me, so we could start our training.” She wrote.

Her last text made him smile somewhat but before he could reply a couple of football players had surrounded his lonely island of a table. “And so the beating begins.” He thought to himself.

“Hey new kid, what’s your name?” One of the guys asked him. Without any evidence of being intimidated Matt answered quite coldly.

“It’s Matt Taylor.” He said to the football. “Oh it looks like this little shit has got guts. I’ll tell you what, since this is a new year and we are the seniors in the school we’re going to make you a deal. Come to football practice this afternoon, if you can survive the afternoon without crying for mommy then we will leave you alone for the rest of the year. If not, then it’s on!” The football player propositioned Matt who already knew he didn’t stand a chance considering they were all muscular guys and he had twigs for limbs. Before he could think about it his mouth began moving, speaking words that weren’t his. “Yeah that sounds fair. It’s a deal then.” He replied. The guys were all surprised by his calmness and complete lack of fear which was actually Matt’s indifference to the whole situation. “An afternoon of pain in exchange for a whole year of being left alone. You can manage that.” Matt thought as he gave himself a little pep talk thinking that it sounded logical.

The day progressed as normal but Matt started feeling a bit nervous when it was nearing time for football practise. He quickly sent a text to his mom explaining that he was partaking in the football team for an afternoon and that he would be home later than usual. He then turned his phone off as that was the rule while on the field. “Hey coach, we got some fresh meat over here.” The guys said to the coach while laughing. “Goddammit you guys, we’ve spoken about is, you can’t keep bringing kids here and beating them up then calling it football, I gotta deal with their whining parents after that.” The guys chuckled as the Captain of the team (Ryan) replied. “No its cool coach, this kid actually want to try out, don’t you?”

They all turned to look at Matt. He remembered the conversation they had at lunch and thought he might as well go through with it. He nodded at the coach who then sighed as he knew he was going to have a painfully long conversation on the phone with the boy’s parents.

They got set up and ran a few practice plays before putting Matt in with the team. As he guessed, the boys threw the ball his way and even the most sports illiterate person knows that the player who has the ball is the target, and that the aim was to get the ball to a touch-down. Matt panicked as he held the ball and watched everyone on the field dash towards him. Before he could think his body began moving, using his size to his advantage ducking and diving through waves of players coming at him but before he could make it half way he was taken down by the captain who literally hit him with a full body slam. Matt lay there out of breath for a few minutes while they all laughed with satisfaction.

“Coach we are going to need a stretcher and the nurse.” Ryan shouted out as he walked away but to their surprise Matt slowly stood up. They turned to look at him all surprised but knew what they had to do. “Ok let’s go guys, let’s run another play.” Ryan said to the team as they all scrambled and got into position. To their surprise the same thing happened only this time Matt nearly made it to the end field before having 6 guys come crashing down on him, this time knocking him down for the count

When Matt finally regained consciousness he found himself in the nurse’s office. He sat up on the bed and started gathering his belongings when the nurse spoke. “And where do you think you are going young man?” To which he replied “well I do have to get home before my parents start freaking out.” He stood up straight and dusted himself off. “Wow, for someone your size, you sure have a lot of stamina kid. You either have a lot of guts or you are just plain stupid. You don’t have any serious injuries so you can leave if you want to.” With that Matt grabbed his bag and headed out the door.

Opening the front door of his home Matt noticed the light on in his dad’s study and assumed he was home although he was confused because James was supposed to be working late every night for a month. As he made his way to the stairs he was stopped short by his mom standing at the foot of the stairs not looking impressed with him. “What time do you call this? And why is your phone turned off? And what the hell gave you the stupid idea to try out for the football team?” She asked him. She wasn’t shouting like normal parents do, instead her voice was low but thick with anger. Matt couldn’t read her mood or behaviour as it was his first time encountering this kind of behaviour. It was awkward, it wasn’t a scolding as most parents would have instead she questioned him with anger the way a woman questions her boyfriend or husband when he comes home late without letting her know.

“I don’t know, it just thought…” he began speaking but his sentence was cut short by Sally turning her head to the side and lifting her hand in front of her gesturing him to be quiet. “I don’t want to hear it.” She said as she walked past him making her way into the kitchen. “Just so you know your dad is working normal hours for the rest of the week so you are on your own.” She said looking down at his crotch before walking away. Matt being his normal self was indifferent to the whole experience and just continued walking towards his room.

He dropped his bag on the floor and then lazily sat at his computer desk waiting for his pc to turn on. Meanwhile Sally stood in the kitchen with her fists clenched ever so tightly. “What the fuck is he playing at? And why am I so angry about it?
