---its been a LOOOOONNNNG time since i came back on here to write my next chapter..but alot has happened in the course of 1yr. soo im back w/the next installment..PROST'! (cheers!)

===============================

chp. 8

I turned the volume up on my mp3 player to drown out the noise around me to get me ready.

The melody got me bobbing my head...Fucking love this song.

"It's amazing, I'm the reason Everybody fired up this evening I'm exhausted, barely breathing Holding on to what I believe in.

Inhale Exhale

No matter what you'll never take that from me My reign is as far as your eyes can see. It's amazin', so amazin', so amazin', so amazin' It's amazin', so amazin', so amazin', so amazin' It's amazin' (Let's go)

Inhale Exhale

I'm a monster, I'm a killer I know I'm wrong, yeah I'm a problem that'll never ever be solved."

Lets fucking do this. I said my prayers for a good game, for no one to get hurt, and to give me the strength to do well tonight.

As I walked out to the field I heard people screaming my name, and the crowd going wild! I knew people loved their football in this city, but I never knew the spectrum of the matter until I jogged on to the field for my intro.

"El Dorado High!!!!! Your new Tight End #12! Trevor White!!!! His stats during pre-season a couple of weeks ago have been phenomenal! The Hawaiian implant is a great addition to this team, he might just be the key ingredient to a state championship!"

Screams Scream

I couldn't hear myself think for the life of me, but god damn! It feels good to be out on the field playing for this school, with these bunch of guys. The adrenaline running through my veins as the team lined up for the kickoff return. Jesse one of the special teams returner gave us good field position with a 45 yard run. I started to put my helmet on to get to the field, but before I could coach yelled into my ear.

"Reverse Option 808!"

I just smiled and nodded. Reverse Option 808 is a play specifically made for me, the quarter back would hike and hand off the ball to spike who would run if he had the option, but with coach he had a feeling that he would pass it, and Spike is more than capable of passing a spiral, he practices with Zach every day so I know hes gunna pull it off.

"Aight coach wants a Reverse Option 808!!!"

They all nodded and the huddle broke off to their respective spots. As I was lining up, I looked at the field, I didn't notice it coming on but they were stacking 3 guys heavy on my side, I guess my hype rang loud for this team, because all eyes were on me, so I gave Spike and Zach a signal showing I was gunna cut in. They both nodded and hiked the ball. As I was cutting in Lee blocked 2 or 3 guys that were after me, and on cue Zach lobbed the ball to me and I ran behind Spike who ran ahead of me for a block, as I was running like any other time, it seemed like shit was in slow motion for me, some say its getting in "the zone" but what ever it was I read everything that was coming my way, I saw a safety coming towards us, so I pushed Spike towards him as I juked around and sprinted towards the end zone I got clipped from the side by one of the opposing cornerbacks. As I was getting up he pushed me back down.

"stay down faggot!" He had this look in him like he knew something, but I don't even know the guy, so I doubt he knew me, but the hairs on my neck rose on its ends. As I got up I brushed my self off and headed back to the huddle.

"Hey Trev, you good?" Zach asked.

"Yeah bro, listen , run that exact same play I got something for that bastard that got me."

Zach looked kind of taken back with a look of "why" on his face, but he just nodded.

As we got back on the line, I scanned for that guy that clipped me, I found him easily, and low and behold, staring right at me too.

"HIKE!!!!!" once Zach got the ball to spike, I cut in once again with Lee blocking the same guys, as I got the lobbed pass I found Mr. Asshole and made a bee line for him lowering my shoulders and knocking him on his ass for the touchdown. The crowd screamed, as I looked at the scoreboard with 6 points added to our score, I walked up to the Mr. Asshole which had a name to his number 39 Allan. I shoved the ball to his chest and got close to his ears.

"I don't know about you? But this fag." I was pounding at my chest when I said it.

"Knocked you on your ass...bitch."

I didn't look for his reaction because I walked off to the bench.

As I did, I got yells of "hell yeah!" and other random banter from the team and the coaches.

For the rest of the game it was back and forth, I got another touchdown, I think one of the guys said I ran for more than 100+ yards. But I just brushed it off, I did my job that's all that mattered. And that Allan guy that got in my face earlier, I faced off with him a couple of more times, with him getting me a couple of times, but without the negativity like he had in the beginning, maybe the point I made to him sunk in, and that's all I ever wanted, even though I know he doesn't know about me, respect is all that matters when it comes to sport, that acknowledgement that you belong, gay or straight.

As we were shaking hands with the opposing team Zach shook the guy Allans hand, it seemed like they knew each other pretty well because they were pretty buddy buddy. I heard a small part of their convo. Too.

"Bro! your teams ass got lit up! Haha, but your still gunna show face at my house tonite right?" Zach was smiling back at # 39

"Bro. count on it." And if I wasn't mistaken dear reader I think I also heard.

"how bout your new Tight End? He coming too?" With a smile as he was looking at me, I was staring at him, just in case he was sizing me up. But I heard Zach chuckle with his response.

"yeah he is..but don't even try it C. I don't think you're his type." He laughed as he patted the guys shoulder, for him to move forward in the hand shaking line, and up to me. We shook hand, but as I tried to let go, he got close to my ear.

"good game out there, didn't mean nothing bout what I said on the field, just adrenaline running full force, you know how that goes, right?" His easy going smile was a different demeanor from the one on the field, then again I did know what he was talking about when the emotion takes over. I just nodded at him and smiled.

"Yeah I know how that is, so your good bro."

"You know Zach right?" I just nodded.

"Then imma see at his house for the post game party then?" I just smiled at him, I think I knew what he was getting at. With a 6'3 200lb frame, he was no Jason, but his light brown hair and light green eyes had its own charms.

I laughed as I got to his ear and whispered so only he could hear.

" imma be there, but I don't think my boyfriend will be fond of you if you try to make advances at me stud." I winked at him too, which got a joyful laugh from Number 39. Before he walked off, he just said.

"Well, we'll see then now wont we?" I just laughed as I walked off to my side of the field where Jason was waiting for me with a raised eyebrow.

"who was that?" I just shrugged.

"I think one of Zach's friends."

"Seemed like you guys were having a bit of a lively conversation?" He asked with a hint of both curiosity and jealousy, which I thought was cute, even more so because he had his arms crossed, waiting for an answer. I laughed it off of course because I don't think he knows that I hold him in a different light from all the other guys, not because of his looks, although some cant even compare to it, its him as a person, and the more I get to know the real Jason with the conversations we have alone, on car rides, or in my/his room, the more I fall harder for him.

"nothing that you will ever have to worry about..kay?" I said this close to his ear. As I scooted away to look at his face, he has a wide cheesy grin that I would've ravaged with kisses if we weren't out in public.

"yeah?" he said, I nodded.

"yep."

"and whys that?" he asked as we were walking back to the locker room.

"because he cant ever compare to you." I said genuinely.

"DAMN RIGHT!" he said. I started to laugh, as I bumped his shoulder.

"Goofball" I said with a smile.

"But im your goofball." He said with a smile.

We were by the locker room door, I stopped faced him, before walking in I said softly staring at into his eyes.

"Yeah you're my goofball." That stopped him in his tracks, and I swear I inched closer to me as if he was about to kiss me, but I stopped him from doing so as I opened the door and headed into the locker room.

--

I drove up to Zachs over crowded driveway hearing the music blaring in the house, I knew I was in for a rough one that's for sure. Me and Jason split after coaches speech, he had his clothes in Zachs house so he could help set up for the party. I thought I looked descent enough, I had on my black volcom shorts, some lakai slippers, a white hurley tank top and a black volcom hat. Hey you can take the boy from the islands, but not the island from the boy, so our saying back home goes, and I hold that statement to heart. I just went ahead and entered his house to be met with a wiff of alcohol and what I smelled to be weed. I got some pats on the back and some kisses from girls I didn't even know, saying that im "it" I don't even know what that means, but I just brushed their comments off, if they really knew the real me, I wonder who would stick around, I knew one person would so I went ahead and started to look for him. Making my way to the kitchen where im sure Zach has kegs ready on tap I heard my name called from distance, so I turned around and who do I see? #39, he was sporting a camo. Shorts that showed off his very defined legs, a tight fitting American Eagle polo and a sports cap, Im not really into that type of look but he pulled it off really well, he was pushing through the crowd with a smile plastered on his face.

"Hey you?!" He said as he clasped on to my shoulder. He had a beer in hand.

"Whats good? Say I forgot to ask for your name, all I remember is #39." I said as a hint of red creeped into my cheeks, I didn't know why it embarrassed me to ask for his name. But it didn't phase him at all, he just nodded and smiled.

"Right, completely forgot that I don't have a name to a cute face like yours." He said this as he winked at me. God this guy doesn't quit, its flattering I must say dear reader, and you cant help but admire the guys perseverance and he is hot. Don't judge me reader, you know for a fact youd be checking this guy out too!

"David." He handed his hand out for me to shake, he didn't look like a David, I don't know if that even makes sense, but his dark brown hair cut military like, with his dimples showing while he smiled, he didn't suit a David, and I told him too.

"David?" He just laughed a hearty laugh.

"Haha, yeah last time I checked." He patted his chest checking himself out.

"Yep its still David.." I just blushed. All the while he still had his arm around my shoulder.

"Sorry, i thought it be something else, you don't look like a David." He just nodded.

"Well, my buddies call me Zeke. Zacharia is my middle name, and I didn't like that so I stuck with Zeke." Now he was blushing, as if it embarrassed him. I just laughed as I patted his arm that was around my shoulder.

"Imma call you Zacharia, way better than Zeke." He just nodded.

"Sure, and you? Whats your name? Enough about me." I don't know why, but I felt comfortable around him, he made it so easy for me to just talk to.

"Trevor." He just smiled as he squeezed my shoulder.

"Cute." I playfully jabbed his ribs.

"Cute? Cute are for babies, does this look cute to you?" As i displayed myself to him. He just laughed of course.

"No. You look HOT!" I didn't expect him to say that. It got me thinking that a lot of the people ive met here, are pretty chill, or just don't care about hiding about who they are, maybe its just me being paranoid, but our conversation has been in the open the whole time, people could've listened in, but that was the furthest thing from my mind. Zacharia interrupted my thought and whispered in my ear.

"I think I should let you go." I looked at him confused.

"Why." He just gave me a big grin.

"As much as I love talking with you, theres a 6'4 200 something pound dude giving me a death stare the whole time weve been talking, im guessing your boyfriend?" I looked over my shoulder and smiled at Jason.

"Yep, good talking with you." I patted his stomach as I started to head towards Jason. He had other plans though.

"Whats your number?" He yelled over the music that started to play. I pulled out my phone. We exchanged numbers.

"You know we should hang out." I was hesitant at answering that.

"Ummmmm..." He just laughed.

"As friends of course, I don't wanna get my ass handed to me by your boyfriend." I just nodded.

"Sure, just call me when you want to, sound good?" He just nodded and we exchanged good byes, and I headed towards Jason.

OH BOY......
