A Queen Among the Jocks (boy x boy)

Part 5

👑👑👑

Friday

I woke up this morning feeling sore all over my body. My joints were screaming in pain, reminding me of how tough yesterday was for me. The thought of having to go to school today was not exactly enticing, but I was excited at the same time to find out the results of the varsity tryouts.

As I got dressed and ready for school, I couldn't help but think about my plans for the weekend. I had been looking forward to exploring the city and the coast of Long Beach for weeks. Finally, the weekend was here and I had two whole days to do whatever I wanted.

As I entered the campus, I could feel the stares and whispers from the other students. It was something I had grown accustomed to over the years, but it still bothered me. I tried to ignore it and went to my locker to get my books for the day.

As I was about to open my locker, I felt a hard slap on my ass. I gasped in shock, and turned around to see TJ De Falco standing behind me with a smug look on his face. I was fuming, but I knew better than to start a fight with him. It was too early in the day for detention, but I was ready to smack him back if he tried anything else.

I shot him a few dagger glares, but he just chuckled and walked away. What an asshole, I thought to myself.

But my anger quickly dissipated when I opened my locker and found a red folded letter from my "secret admirer." I had been receiving these letters for a while now, and they always managed to make me blush. This time, the letter read:

"I watched you perform yesterday, you're damn sexy and hot! I am pretty sure you'll make it to the team. I'm looking forward to it. I'm jealous to see them staring at your legs."

My face turned coral pink as I read the letter. I couldn't help but wonder who this person was and whether they were at the tryouts yesterday. It was both exciting and scary to think that someone was stalking me. But at the same time, it made me feel special and appreciated.

I was starting to feel more anxious as the day went on, thinking about who this "secret admirer" could be. I just hoped that they would reveal themselves soon and put my mind at ease.

Am I mad? Tell me!

Walking to my first class, I felt the glares of students in the hallway, but I just wanted to keep to myself. I couldn't wait to get back at TJ. When I walked into my classroom, I was greeted by Elliot, as usual, with his gorgeous smile. "What's up, you look happy? Good News?" he said suspiciously. I lied and said it was just the weather, but it really was nice outside. Not too humid and windy. I guess it's always like this in America.

Elliot asked if I had any plans for the weekend. I responded that I was going to explore the city, since I had only been to the mall, school, airport, and our neighborhood. I was excited to finally see more of the city. "I can be your tour guide if you like," he offered, flashing his killer smile. My heart skipped a beat, but I didn't want to bother him with my awkwardness. "Naa, I don't want to trouble you," I replied, not wanting to impose on his free time. To be honest, I'm an awkward person, so I preferred to do things alone. "Come on! I insist!" Elliot replied and kept on bugging me about it until lunchtime.

On our way to the cafeteria, we saw familiar faces crowding around the announcement board. It must be the result of the tryout! Elliot and I went to take a peek in. As I was leaning in, Elliot shook me and said, "Congratulations Apol! You made it to the team!" My name was written on the list. Oh my god! "I made it to the team!! Wohoooo!" Elliot and I were jumping crazily. The other players congratulated me as well, and I was blushing the whole time. I noticed that Seth, the other great receiver, and I went head-to-head yesterday according to the tally sheet, with a total of 29 excellent receptions for me and 26 for him. It was posted as well that there would be a welcoming party for the new players tonight, and we were also asked to be at the gym after class later for a meeting.
