I'll Follow You Anywhere

We can do better

The day went slowly, but Stark changed my extra curric' class, I was now assistant coach to the football coach which meant I got to spend more time with Eric and the team. So that made me feel better about my day, and of course, Eric and I now had a regular make out session at lunch in the stairwell. At the end of the day I found my way down to the coaches office and he showed me what he wanted me to do. They were doing time trials today and I got to write down all the times for the players and cheer.

'This is so much more fun than my last class.' I said as I stood next to the coach watching the guys run.

'Oh? Why don't you try out for the team?'

'Eric's tried to convince me but I'd rather cheer them on. As I said to him I'm a track and field guy.' The coach laughed.

'Unfortunately our track team didn't have enough members so it was cut from the program, you know you're not like I expected. Everyone was talking about how such a bad kid you were, always pulling pranks and things.'

'My pranks were funny, they never harmed anyone, even the janitors thought they were creative, I just have a bit of a temper sometimes but not all the time, and since I moved here I made some nice friends.'

'Well, you seem to be doing really well here, keep it up and you could go far kid.' I smiled and we continued with the time trials. The guys broke for a water break and a breather and they all swarmed me. Eric threw himself on top of me and I struggled to hold him up.

'You're too fat get off me!' I whined and everyone burst out laughing.

'I'm not fat!' He said standing up lifting his shirt showing off his very well defined stomach. He looked at me for a moment before dropping his shirt.

They went back to practice and I watched after the final bell rang. Eric walked over and threw his arm around my shoulders and I shoved him off.

'You're sweaty and smelly.' I laughed and he smelt himself.

'Sorry, I'll go shower up and get changed.'

'Yeah, I'm going to get my spare clothes out of my locker. I'll meet you out the front?' He nodded and walked off with the other guys.

'Oi kid!' I turned to see the coach running over. 'You know, if you want extra credit, you could become the general assistant coach, which means you can assist me during the games, I can sort it out so you get extra credit.'

'Really? I can come to the games?'

'Yeah, you'll be able to come to the away games as well. You have an influence over the team I've never seen before, Eric plays better than before and that seems to get the team motivated and then they do better. What ever magic you're working I want to keep it around the team, we might even be able to win titles this year if this atmosphere keeps up.'

'That would be wicked, does that mean I can drop a class or something?' This made him laugh.

'Unfortunately no, you still have to attend your normal classes but this will look good on college applications. Might help counter your bad record.' I nodded and accepted his offer before heading back to my locker. I had jeans and a nice polo shirt that I went to the bathroom to change into. I headed out into the car park and saw Eric waiting for me. He was in jeans and a tight red tee. It showed off his muscles and broad shoulders.

'Damn, babe you look presentable.' He grinned and I smiled.

'You look hot, that's my favourite tee you've ever worn.' I said getting in the car and throwing my bag in the back, his already there.

'Fuck I wanna kiss you.' He groaned out seeming frustrated.

'That we can do later but for now.' I said reaching over and taking his hand from the wheel I laced our fingers and held his hand in my lap.
