the jock and the femboy

"AHH!!"

"I dropped my books why must I be so clumsy" I thought as I got down to pick up my books.

Getting up I noticed someone standing there, his feet right infant of me I stopped midway and just stared 

"Get up " I thought to myself.

As I made my gaze up I noticed him his brown hair combed back his smile deep and affectionate. 

"Are you ok " He asked 

"Im fine just dropped my books"

His smile got bigger as he chuckled and extended his hand towards me. "Oh thank you" I say as I grab his hand and he helps me up.

"Im William, whats your name" 

"Sam but everyone calls me Sammy" I say blushing a little.

"Nice to meet you I hope you're alright I got to get going. Be more careful for me" he said walking away 

'He is nice' I thought to myself turning around and walking to class.

"Hey are you ok you're not talking much"

"Huh oh its you hi Racheal"

Racheal is my best friend here she knows about me. Oh I haven't explained my self yet have I? Well here goes I'm 16 my names Sam but everyone calls me Sammy I'm a boy that likes both boys and girls. It's hard to be like his when the only person who you have told is your best friend, well she's more like my sister. We met in a group home about two years ago we lost touch when I left. As fate would have it we ran into each other again it was a little weird seeing her there I wasn't expecting that. But was nice to see a friendly face. At this new foster home we got to talking a lot more than the group home. Back there I always had this weird feeling with her. At first I thought it was a crush but after talking to her more and more it seemed more like a family feeling. After I told her about myself she seemed happy about it. Truth be told it made me feel so much better. I wonder if I should tell her about William. No I'll wait till after school and text her about him.

"Dude I saw you drop your books at your locker." 

"Ugh really David you have to tell the whole class don't you?" I blurted out in annoyance.

"Oh come on everyone knows about it by now, you did squeal like a girl when you did it."

This is David he is one of the boys in my foster home. Oddly enough I have a feeling he knows about me. He is always joking about me being girly even though I do try to hide it. He is still nice to me which I find very weird in itself. 

"You know I'm beginning to think you two have a thing going on" said Racheal smirking at the two of us.

"What makes you think that?" Ask David who seemed to look very puzzled at her.

"The both of you act like siblings a lot, well I guess it would fit seeing as the two of you are in the same home."

"What I cant pick on him like that, you see it to though right he does seem like a girl at times makes me wonder if he is actually a she" David said chuckling in his weird laugh.

In that instance I grab his hand and place in on my crotch. He stopped laughing and just stared at me then snatched his hand back.

"Well I think you have your answer David." I said with a stern look on my face.

"Y-yeah I think we do but did you have to do that?"

"Oh my god you two are unbelievable" Racheal said sitting down.

"Alright class please be seated" the teacher walked in his demeanor seemed off today almost annoyed.

"We have a new student joining us today" he said as someone walked into class.

My eyes locked on and I knew immediately who it was.

"Ladies and gentle men this is William Evans he is a transfer from Tennessee, Please give him a warm pensacola high school welcome." Mr Blake started to clap and of course the whole class had to clap with him.

"Id like you to take a seat next to sam over there so we can begin today's assignment." He said pointing at me.

William started to walk towards me and I started to flutter and my stomach started to churn. He sat down looked at me and smiled at me. It was the same smile as before and when he did that smile I couldn't help it I smiled back at him and waved.

"Dude you're smiling you don't do that very often." David leaned forward a whispered to me.

Thats when I noticed it the football pendant on his backpack I couldn't help but think is he one of those jocks.

Jocks they're idiots they don't care about anyone but themselves and will do anything to be popular. I couldn't help but think back to the schools that I went to before the jocks would always torment me and anyone they deemed unpopular.

The bell rings and we all get up to leave Racheal and David are right here with me.

"Dude you ok you've been acting weird since you got to class." David asked me. It annoyed me for him to ask but I know he is just being David.

"Yeah I'm fine just you know dropped my books right before class" I said hoping it will end the conversation.

As we walked to the busses Racheal kept looking at me I think she sees the look on my face. I know I can feel it. 

We get on the bus David of course sits with his friends up front Racheal and I move towards the back. 

'Ugh Andy is here to he normally sits upfront away from us "trouble makers".' I sit down in my normal seat Racheal sits across from me with her boyfriend. Racheal leans over towards me after we get going.

"Hey you ok?" She asked 

"Of course why wouldn't I be?" 

"David told me about a boy being there when you dropped your books was that him"

"Yeah it was" I said pulling out my phone.

I sent her text telling her about it we texted the whole way back to my foster home and when she got home we called on the house phone since I was only able to text and we talked for a few hours about William. Then I told her about the pendant and how I'm worried he is just another jock. She told me not to worry about it he seems nice.

The next day was football tryouts I don't know why but I wanted to be there I guess it was to see if William was gonna be there.Racheal and David decided to stay with me. It's weird having David here when he doesn't know anything about whats going on. 

"Hey Sammy are you thinking of trying out?" David asked with a smile.

"No I'm just here because I want to see who to avoid this year."

"Yeah you seem more of the cheerleading type."

"David thats not funny Sammy hates jocks and pretty much anyone that's popular." Racheal snapped at him.

"Except me my little sisters don't hate me."

"Whats that supposed to mean David?" I asked confused but more annoyed.

"Dude come on you're not that good at hiding it I saw it yesterday and it confirmed my suspicions about you." David said with a smirk.

I just stared at him confused unsure of what to say to him.

"You might want to explain David." Racheal stated

"Sammy likes guys thats why he is girly that's why when William walked into class yesterday he started acting like he did. William came to his rescue so to speak it's not that hard to figure out."

"Why didn't you say anything before if you knew?" Racheal asked in her very own 'start talking or ill smack you' tone

"Simple if he wanted me to know he would have told me but since I figured it out I thought I should make it known so he can quit hiding it. Plus thats why I've always referred to you as my sister and always made jokes about you being girly." He said with a smile on his face that showed genuine that he was telling the truth.

At that moment the guys trying out had come out with their gear on and helmets in hand. I saw him right there I knew it William was a jock and I was heart broken he wont want anything to do with me from now on.

'Huh I thought he would choose the quarterback I guess not.' I thought to myself as I watch him set up somewhere else that I'm not even sure where. His pants tight leaving very little to the imagination. 

"Ive seen what I needed I guess it's time to leave."

We get up to leave and head to the parking lot Racheal foster mom is waiting for us there.

"That was fast guys how was it?" Her foster mom asked us.

Racheal was the only on to respond.

"We just need to see who to avoid this year you know that."

The next day at school was normal up till last period that was when id see him and he would find out I'm not popular.

I get in there and I notice William is not in the seat he was the past two days but instead over by the other football players chatting up storm over there.

'I knew it he didn't want anything to do with me.'

"Be seated students. With the updated football roster I have chosen to rearrange the class I expect everyone to still do their classwork but all the football students will be seated at the front of the class I do not want anyone of you to start acting up. As a reminder I do this to every one of you to ensure you are getting the proper education I can provide. Your grades must be kept at least a c average to maintain you places on the team so get a move on into your new seats."

His attitude towards the team seems like a bit much but no sports player has ever failed his class.

It's been three months since the start of football season and William has not once said anything to me it does seem odd. But in this Timeframe I have pretty much started acting like myself more and more students know even my foster family knows I've grown my hair out some and even started to wear some makeup. Who knew David would be the one to encourage me. Even Andy with his rudeness about it has stopped for the most part and has seemed to accept it.

Andy the one person who I don't much care for in the foster home he is a dictator and seems to think its his way or the highway. He even has begun to be nicer to me I'm assuming David had something to do with it.

"Ahhh! Oh no not again why did this have to happen?"

I dropped my books again and this time on my foot ugh what a day to where the candles Racheal picked out. 

"Let me help you with that Sammy." I hear as I start to get my books.

I look up and see someone bending over and picking up my books. 

"Here, I thought I asked you not to be so clumsy." I look up and see him William his perfect smile holding my books out to me. 

I grab my books and start running as I'm running I run into Andy.

"What the hell?' 

"Im sorry." I say quickly as David and Racheal walk up 

"Whats going on?" Racheal asked concerned. 

"It's nothing I just have to go potty really bad." I say hoping to avoid the conversation.

"Well hurry up the busses leave soon." David said as he and the others walked to the bus.

I go into the bathroom and rinse my face off as I turn off the faucet someone walks in.

I turn around and see William walking in his smile gone and what looks to be worry on his face.

"Are you ok did I do something to hurt you?"his question caught me off guard. As I just simply respond with the sam Eline I gave David and Racheal. His face went from worry to his usual smile. Honestly I haven't seen him smile lately not like this.

"Hey I was wondering if you could help me with some of my classwork I was told you'd be the perfect person for it." He said 

" What work is it?" I asked hoping to finish this quickly.

"Oh it's just math work." 

"Uhm who told you was good at math?" 

"Mrs. Young did she said you're one of the few people who would be able to get it in my thick skull." He said taping his head with a laugh.

" Well when did you want to start if I can figure out when I'm available I might."

"Uhm well my schedule is pretty packed with football. Oh hey I got an idea maybe you could come over to my house next weekend and help me I'm pretty sure my parents wouldn't mind you staying the night I'm pretty sure it would take awhile."

I do a face palm " no I'm pretty sure I know what this is you're playing nice to get me to come over and you and you're jock friends are gonna do something to me probably beat me up or something."

I storm out of the bathroom and head to the busses leaving him with that face of what just happened.

I get on the bus and head home telling Racheal Andy and David what just happened. Racheal and David being the people they are get onto me for being rude. Of course they would Andy on the other hand just laughs and tells me that I'm finally growing pair and maybe id stop being this person I've become. 

SMACK!!

Racheal smacks Andy hard everyone heard it and was looking at them. We spend the rest of the ride in silence.
