If I Was The One

He struck an insolate pose. “Why, give the girl a panda”

“Are you an incredibly dumb moron or are you just stupid!!”

“Funny, those sound like they go hand in hand”

“Don’t you know what steroids DO to you!!” she was yelling in his face. He didn’t say anything.

“Why are you doing it?” she almost whispered.

His eyes narrowed. “What, you’re boyfriend can take them but I can’t? You sell yourself for popularity why can’t I?”

“You’ve never wanted to be popular. It’s for your father isn’t it?”

“Hey, it’s little squirt” came a boisterous yell from behind Devin. Him and a dozen other players swaggered around the corner. They slapped his back and messed his hair.

“Here squirt,” a junior handed Devin his football uniform, “have it washed nice by tomorrow”

“Any preference on soap?”

The junior stared blankly for a moment before laughing. “Hey, he’s pretty funny!” They all laughed and slapped his back.

“So Vinnie my man, they’ll have your uniform in a week or so. They had some trouble making an XSS size but…” they laughed at his hilarious joke, Devin the hardest.

“Hey guys, you know what Vin will be? A cub!!!!!!!”

Regina looked on in disgust as they all laughed uproariously.

“Hey, Jimmy” she said in her sweet, dumb, innocent voice. Everyone turned to her. They hadn’t noticed her before.

“Gin, watcha doing here?” Jimmy asked, eyes darting between her and Devin.

“I was walking to the field to see you, and I met Devin. And he told me about getting on the team.” She turned to Devin, “and gosh, I was just so happy for him, I mean, I just know his life is going to get so much better now” her eyes bored into his and he shifted his gaze away. She smiled, bitterness concealed well, and turned to Jimmy.

“Sweetie, we have to go now if we want to make it to the movie on time”

Jimmy grinned. “Sorry fellas, gotta run. We’re going to the MOVIES” he said with a leer. He and Regina walked away, her swinging, him swaggering, his hand on her ass.
