Chp. 6
You've got to be fucking kidding me! I was in my locker room, preparing for our scrimmage with a team that I didn't bother paying attention to when they called it out, I was mad because of the text I just received from my dad:
-Hey son, im sorry that this is short notice but I have to cancel our plans I had to take a shift for Dr. Mitchell because of a family emergency back home, I promise to make it up to you.
Love DAD.
He always tells me he would make it up to me, but to be honest I kind of expected this, for him to be a no show, to be constantly working and not caring about how i played, not like before....I have to get past this...
Alright Trev these bitches aint no body, use this as your platform to show the coaches what skills you actually possess. As I was psyching myself up for the game I was also listening to some music to get me more amped up:
*"I can't escape this hell So many times I've tried But I'm still caged inside Somebody get me through this nightmare I can't control myself
So what if you can see the darkest side of me No one will ever change this animal I have become Help me believe it's not the real me Somebody help me tame this animal! This animal, this animal"
Lets do this...
It is the 4th quarter now, and throughout this entire game I have only step foot on the field to play tight end once. Im not complaining, im fortunate enough to be on this team, but I feel like I could be contributing more if I were to play my intended position, rather than play a corner back. It had its perks though, I was always behind the linebackers, and Jason being one of those guys, it gave me a lot of opportunities to check out his nice solid ass.
"HIKE!!!!" I heard the quarterback on the other team yell it while I was daydreaming about Jasons ass, that guy is going to drive me wild. The defensive formation that we were in gave me a good amount of time to read the QB, and as he hiked the ball I followed his line of vision, and it came in contact with mine, indicating that it was going to be in my line of sight, and just like I read it, he threw it my way, I intercepted the ball and started to head to my end zone.
The announcer was yelling as I was running for my life. "White is at the 40, the 30, hes got one more person to beat!" I knew who he was talking about too, it was the quarterback on the other team, and by the look of things I had him beat, in strength and in momentum too, so I lowered my shoulder pads and rammed that sucker to the ground and ran in for the touchdown. The crowd was going nuts, and it was just the preseason game too! " El Dorado High Meet your newest cornerback Trevor White!!!!!!!!!!!" the announcer boomed into the system. Even though that touchdown won us the game I wasn't too thrilled, announcing to people who I was will just cause me to be surrounded with fake people, I know im sounding pessimistic about this reader, but its because ive faced this type of thing back home, and I don't need the drama and the fake bullshit they put up to your face.
As I was walking back to my side of the field I saw the QB from the other team walking off not too far from me, so I jogged up to him to tell him he had a great game.
"hey number 15 good game man." The QB turned around, with his helmet off and at his side I got a better look at his face.
"cant wait to play you ag..." Everything seemed to have gone in slow motion for me. No, this isn't happening.
"Trevor?" when he said my name flashes of memory resurfaced all the things that I thought I could forget came flooding back. `what the hell is he doing here?' I thought, then again, he did say that he was moving back home, and I completely forgot that it was around here.
If you're confused dear reader, I can help with that....
1 year ago...Give or take
" we cant keep doing this Gelo." Kiss, kiss. "yes we can, who the hell has to know that the quarterback and the all star tight end are messing around?" I pushed him off me.
" if we get caught my future will go down the drain, you know how much this next game means to me!" he put his hands on my shoulder to ease my mind, we were in the confines of my room so I allowed him to touch me.
"I know it means a lot, this can open doors for you!, and for me, don't think that you're the only one that has something to lose here." I was looking into his brown eyes. God ever since ive met Angelo my life has been nothing but a rollercoaster, a kid coming from California, he thought he was tough shit, but he learned the hard way that if you don't respect the people that live on this island, and you just stomp around acting like your IT, your going to get beat up, and that's exactly what happened, on the field anyways. The first two years of high school changed Angelo for the better, and I was there through it all, he was my best friend ever since we met each other during football camp for the high school team, and it was fitting that we both came out to each other during our junior year, it was hard at first, trying to figure out what we were, but here we are now, in our final game of our junior year, I heard scouts were watching
this game so I had to be on my A game, but Gelo being the horny young teen that he was wanted to fool around, but I just couldn't allow it.
"stop, my dads coming home soon, and I got to prepare for tomorrow." He stopped, of course but not without fuss.
"ugh, all you do is look at that damn playbook and watch football games of the other teams, you need a life!" I just looked at him.
"no I need a scholarship!, I don't want to burden my dad more than I already am, with moms funeral earlier in the year, money can go to that expense rather than me." He just nodded. He knew how hard it was for me to lose my mom, I confided in him when it happened. d "fine, Imma see you tomorrow at the game you hear me?" I just nodded as he kissed my head. I wouldn't know what type of relationship me and Angelo have, we knew each others secrets, we revealed them to one another already, and yet the camaraderie and friendship that we had didn't go away either. I liked where we were at, I just didn't know how long this would last, with senior year and college coming up, we both knew the likely hood of us going to the same college was unrealistic, with him wanting to go back to school in CA while I wanted to stay home. But for now I was enjoying my time with my best friend. After countless hours of film studying I headed off to bed with the thought that we would win tomorrow's state championship.
"04,03,02,01!!!! The Sabers of Campbell High has done it! They won the state championship!!!!" the crowd at aloha stadium went crazy! We just beat the private school juggernaut Iolani and boy were we stoked! Hugs and congratulations were in order, after the on field festivities I was pulled to the side by my head coach and was introduced to both the USC head coach and the Texas football team head coach. With conversation on the topic of football I answered all their questions, while doing so I was looking for Gelo, and found him talking to some guy off to the side, the guy looked to be our age, and looked familiar, what I saw next got my blood boiling in. the guy whispered something in his ear, handed Gelo a pair of keys and hugged the guy. The sight itself sickened me, I knew we weren't an item, but the fact that he could do that just hurt.
After getting leis from family members and friends I headed off to the locker room to change. I passed Gelo's locker, he saw me and said for me to wait by his car, I just nodded and changed.
While I was waiting I couldn't help but think about what my dad has said to me, the possibility of moving after junior year was likely, god knows he wanted out of this place, too much memories, and I couldn't blame the guy, mom was the only thing that tied us down here, this was her home, scratch that, our home and for dad, that was too much to handle.
I saw Gelo talking on the phone with a big grin on his face. I heard the last bit of the conversation. "I cant wait, I know im really stoked about it, haha I hope the plan falls through, god knows I need it." WTF? Did I hear that shit correct? He approached me.
"hey, I need to do something real quick, and then we can go and chill, kay?" I just looked at him.
"what do you got to do?"
"I cant say." He always told me everything.
"what do you mean you cant say, im your best friend, of course you can tell me." He just shook his head.
"I cant, not this one." I cant believe what im hearing, my best friend cant even tell me whats going on, it cant be that big of a secret that he couldn't tell me. So I called him out on it.
"did it have anything to do with that guy you were talking to after the game?" he just stared at me.
"you saw that?"
"yeah, I was talking to some recruits and saw you with him." He touched my shoulder, but I just brushed it off.
"its not what you think, trust me."
"trust you? How can I when I don't know whats going on Gelo?" I started to walk away.
"hey! Where you going? Imma pick you up and I got stuff planned for us!" "don't bother!"
Shit just couldn't get worse. But if you knew my life shit did get worse, I got a text from dad saying we were headed to California in a couple months right after school ended. With me and Gelo not talking and me leaving, I just kept to myself, he tried talking to me but I just didn't have anything to say to him anymore, how can you talk to someone, who you called a best friend that kept secrets from you? So the rest of the year flew by, I didn't do the prom or the end of the year rally, I just isolated myself from everyone, and that's how my junior year went. Before I got on the plane to California I got a text from Gelo.
"have a safe trip, im headed back home as well, I cant stand the fact that your leaving and that we couldn't talk out what was wrong. I didn't mean to leave you in the dark. It was stupid on my part, and I didn't know you took it to heart, I don't know if we'll ever see each other again, but do call trev, imma miss you
Love, Your Gel-o"
I looked at it with tears forming in my eyes, "you were the only thing that kept me sane through my darkest times." I thought as I entered the plane.
PRESENT DAY:
"Trevor..." Gelo said. All I could do was stare just for a bit till I faced my head to the ground, god he looked real good, he didn't have that boyish look that he had a year ago, god a year can do wonders to a guy. I was just staring at him, what could I say? I haven't seen the guy in almost a year, and of all places we meet on the football field, emotions just started to come flooding back. It was the accumulation of memories past and seeing him now and all of the things we went through together, it got me teary eyed, I didn't want him to see me like this so I just turned around and walked away from him. But I didn't get far before a grip on my arm swung me back around to face him
"Trevor." God I couldn't face him.
"Trevor look at me." I looked up from the ground and what I saw was a big smile plastered on his face, his smiles did wonders to me and I couldn't help but smile back at him too.
"God you look good Trev." He said this as he pulled me into a hug, god I missed this. I hugged him back, it was good to see my friend again. Gelo began to speak.
"I didn't know that you were living in these neck of the woods." I just nodded, I was still shocked that im face to face with my best friend, ex-best friend? UGH! I don't know, this is giving me a head ache dear reader. He just laughed.
"I haven't seen you for almost a year and all you can do is nod?" I looked him square in the eyes.
" what do you want me to say Angelo?" he looked kind of hurt when I said his full name, I never said his full name unless I was mad.
"I don't know just something, I know we ended on bad terms but you didn't even let me tell you my part of the story."
"whats there to say Angelo? You couldn't even tell me what was going on and we were best friends man!" I had to step back a bit and take a breather this was getting to crazy too fast. And out of nowhere Jason comes showing up and gives me one of those manly side hugs..you know what I mean, the shoulder to shoulder, arm draped over the other shoulder hug? Yeah that hug..lol "hey ready to go? Were all headed to the locker room now." I just nodded. Im guessing Jason figured something out because he and Gelo were giving each other the eye that even satan himself would be scared. I started to walk away with Jason to our respective locker rooms, but I turned around and gazed at Gelo one more time, and when I did he gave me the hand signal to call him or he was going to call me. I should be happy that hes here, but at the same time I knew we had to talk and resolve everything, I had to do it not only for me, but for Jason and our relationship as well. SIGH Why cant I just avoid this?
I was in the locker room now, in only my pants, I was in the process of putting on my shirt when me phone beeped indicating I had a text message:
"hey, I don't know if this is still your number, but I might as well give it a shot, I want to talk to you, we need to clear things up trev, im going to be at In and Out near your school later on tonight. Please trev, meet me and lets clear this all up.
Your Gel-o"
As I read the last line I heard Jasons voice.
"Hey what you looking at?" and when he said that I shut my phone off.
"huh? Oh its nothing, whats up Jase?" he was looking at me weird now, god don't let him think its something.
"oh were meeting up with the guys at Lees house just a little party to celebrate our preseason win." Wow im trying to imagine what the football season parties are going to be like, but I had to clear things up with Gel-o first, god knows we have shit to discuss.
"ummmm, you know what Jason, imma have to meet you guys there I have things I got to take care of."
"can I help in anyway?" he looked concerned, god I hate doing this.
"ummm no, im good just go with the guys and I'll catch up with you later." He just stared into my eyes.
"promise?" I just nodded. God im so pathetic, I cant even verbally say that I will make it, how gay is that?!
After putting the rest of my clothes on I headed to my car, as I got in I saw Jason looking my way before getting into Zach's car, "I have to explain this to him when I get the chance." I thought.
I started my engine, and as I let the engine run a bit I text Gelo:
"imma change and I'll see you there in an hour."
After that text I headed home. God Trevor what the hell are you doing?!
