This is a love story, sure sex will come, but not just yet, if your patient enough then read on. And thanks in advance for reading my story. FINDING LOVE ON THE FIELD El Dorado fucking High, god its bad enough that I have to deal with new faces and new surroundings at my new school, but to be brought here during my senior year of high school is just plain old bull shit. Your probably wondering why im making such a fuss about being at a new school, I mean do I really have to explain it? Being the new kid isn't a title you would want to be stuck with. I had a great life back in Hawaii, but out of nowhere it was taken from me, thanks to dad and his genius of an idea to move to California, that and the hefty paycheck he's going to be receiving for transferring hospitals to be their top surgeon, I guess it isnt that bad, for him anyways. Sorry for getting off track there, the names Trevor White, 18 years old and is officially the "new kid" in El Dorado High, I would say im 6'0 and weigh in at a good solid 180lbs, thanks to lifting and football I would have to say im in pretty good shape, im half white and half Filipino you could say I got my genes from my dad, god knows Filipino people are never tall, but I got my tan complexion from my mom and my somewhat asian features, but I have brown hair from my dad. Back to the story, as I was saying me and dad moved here over the summer to get away from things, the main issue being that mom died due to breast cancer about a year and a half ago and lets just say things have taken a turn for the worse, so this was dads idea of a fresh start and a new life for us, but if you ask me hes just running from his problems rather than solve it. After my mom died he has been distant, always working, before her death we would be a family and have time for each other, they would attend my games and watch me play, now hes to preoccupied to do anything let alone see me play. I play tight end back in Hawaii, I might say im pretty good, but kids from Cali. are a whole different league but I play pretty damn good football, I don't mean to toot my own horn but I received all state honors during my sophomore and junior year, its going to be a long shot for me to make the Musketeers team, but like my mom said to me when I was just a kid, " your dad and me never made it to where we are now by having things handed to us, we worked our ass off and made sacrifices for this family to live the way we live now, so if you want something, work for it, and when you do that, things will fall into place." With those words embedded into my brain ive learned to work hard all my life, by getting good grades, and working my ass off for the sport that I love. Speaking of football ive got tryouts today after school. And with that i started to walk towards my first period class, well tried to anyways, this school is 3x bigger than my old one. But as I tried to find my way around I heard some yelling. " Fucking faggot! Your gonna see what happens when you look at us, you piece of shit!." As I turned the corner three guys were kicking and punching this guy on the floor who looked like he couldn't even defend himself. I was brought up to always look after myself and let no one push me around, but knowing that they could easily break him in two , I ran towards them. I pushed one of the guys off. " get off of him you fucking punks! Fight someone your own size." They stopped what they were doing and started to run off the opposite direction of the hallway, fucking punks, beating up on people that cant fend for themselves is a coward move in my book, I helped the guy out, who looked to be about 5'8 but at kind of lanky at 135-40 at most. "hey you okay bro?" I asked the guy brushed off his clothes and looked at me , " yeah man im good, thanks, those bastards never quit." I gave him a once over, he wasn't bad looking by any means, he had dark blonde hair, with a nice complexion to his face, the glasses made him nerdy than he actually looks, and the wardrobe could do some work too, plaid shirt with khaki pants and loafers scream "beat me!" But he wasn't my type, I like my guys to have more meat on them than this guy does, oh did I mention I was gay? But you already knew that, why would you read this if I weren't right? Knowing that I was really late for class and really loss i started to speak, " hey bro listen, im kinda new to your school and I need to get to Advance History, uhmmmm a Mr. Alvarez, know where that is?" he looked at me confused, hes probably thinking what a jock of a guy like me is doing in advanced classes, like I said I worked hard in school. " its down the hall on your third right." I nodded "appreciate it bro, names Trevor by the way. " I extended my hand and so did he, " Sheldon, and thanks again for saving me, appreciate it a lot." I Just smiled and started to head off. " No problem man, see you around." And I headed for history class. Upon entering the class room to Mr. Alvarez's class the tardy bell rang indicating that I was late, and standing in front of everyone, I walked towards the man I presume to be the teacher and handed my paper in, as he looked over my transcript I scoped the class noticing that a couple of girls were huddled up together eyeing me, and off to the side I noticed a real good looking guy about the same size as me, looking in my direction, he was a football player, I can tell with his letterman jacket with the school logo. Mr. Alvarez spoke, " class we got ourselves a new student, introduce your self." Ugh, god I hated introductions, but whatever might as well get it over with, I scanned the class as I spoke " nothing much to say, im Trevor, im from Hawaii, got transferred here due to my dads job relocation, I play football, and that's about it." A perky blonde girl raised her hand and asked, " names Jessica, so you got a girlfriend?" all the girls around her listened intently, this is just great, what the fuck is this 21 questions? I just gave her a fake smile and said, " no, not at the moment." She just smiled and turned to her friends. Meanwhile Mr. Alvarez spoke up, " Trevor why don't you sit where ever theres a free desk." I kindly nodded and started to walk towards the back when I heard a guy speak, " you intend to tryout for football?" I turned to the guy with the letterman jacket, he had a smug look on his face, I just stared at him and gave him the same look back, " count on it bro." With that I sat down at my desk, history class was boring me and we had about 20min. left of class, the teacher was asking the class who would they consider to be an evil person in history, you got your usual Hitler and Saddam Hussein answer, but mr. smug rose his hand, " ah yes Zach, you got someone in mind?" Hmmm, Zach, a nice enough name, he started to speak, "I would have to say Pol Pot and the Khmer Rogue regime. " Wow, okay didn't expect him to say that, who knew he read books and listened in class, smart and sexy, deadly combination. I couldnt let the smug jock out do me so I raised my hand, " yes Trevor? Got someone in mind?" I just smiled and said, " Christopher Columbus." Everyone turned around and looked at me with expressions of are you serious? To what? I was smiling inside, Zach spoke, " he discovered the place where we live at now, how can you say that?" I just answered him , " He may have done so, but by coming in contact with the indians he, along with his crew members brought over diseases such as smallpox that killed millions and those that still lived were turned into slaves to do Columbus's bidding." And with that, the bell rang, everyone started to pack their things and so did I, but I couldn't help but feel as if someone was staring at me so I turned around and caught Zach staring at me, but noticing that he was caught he packed up and left. I did too but not before being pulled off to the side by Mr. Alvarez, " hey great answer to the topic Trevor I can tell that you know your stuff and wont have a hard time in this class." I just smiled and nodded, " thanks." God Im so hungry, after finishing with my second period I had to fuel up for try outs. As I got my tray and headed towards a vacant table I saw Sheldon by himself so I opt to sit by him, "hey mind if I eat here?" He looked up from his tray, " oh hey whats up Trevor, yeah go ahead sit." With that I sat, but not before I noticed Zach and his crew of people across the table eating, im pretty sure he saw me look his way. Sheldon interrupted me, " that's Zach and his goons over there, bunch of stuck up football ass holes if you ask me," I had to laugh when he said that, " I play football too, am I stuck up?" He kinda went a bit red, "oh, you do? Well your cool in my book." I just nodded, " yeah I met that Zach guy already, a smug prick." I saw Sheldon take a bite from food and spoke, " well that prick is the Quarterback of this school, everyone hails him because he can throw a ball." Ahhh so Zach is the Quarterback huh? No wonder he acts like an ass. I turned my eyes towards Sheldon, " what sport do you play?" After taking another bite of food, " not into sports, I draw, well graffiti anyways, it was good enough to land me a scholarship at Art Institute of California." I just nodded as I ate, " Cool , couple of my friends back home do that too, they were good enough to start up their own t-shirt line back in Hawaii." And with that the bell rang, I bumped fist with Sheldon and left for my final two classes. With school finally being done I ran to the field where the meeting was being held at. As I got there I heard the coach speak. " the names Coach Anderson, there's only three rules you have to abide by if you want to play on my team, you waste my time for being late imma waste yours after practice with laps, you listen to me and the other assistants here and you'll be just fine, and lastly I need you to maintain good grades, the school needs a 2.5 from you, I want a 3.0 if not you sit out and watch. Are we clear?" and I heard the team yell "yes sir!" With that we got separated into offense and defense, me being on the offense I got positioned by the coach to be a tight end, it was a practice drill meant for him to see if we can fallow routes , I was to do slant out to the right, but when I got into position I clearly see the guy watching me too far out, with my speed I know I can make him bite and instead im going to go slant out left, with the ball being hiked a stutter juked him and got open where surprisingly Zach saw me and tossed me the ball, I ran for 30 yards and the touchdown and in the process running over a linebacker square on his ass. But before I could celebrate coach blew the whistle, " White! Get your ass over here!." Fuck what the hell did I do now? I jogged towards him " yes coach?" he waited for me to come closer, " explain to me why you didn't slant right like the play indicated?" I got kind of nervous, I know he said that it had to be his way but I had the guy clearly beat, " I was about to coach, but when I saw the guy clearly stacking himself to the right I had a clear lane to slant left." He just nodded and looked at me, " that was a good read, kids your age don't usually see that mismatch when up on the line, more plays like that can land you a first string position. Now get back out there." I just nodded and ran back into the huddle. " alright boys bring it in." coach Anderson yelled, and we all huddled up, " good day today, unfortunately some of you will be cut, its not that your skills weren't up to par, but this year is a tight competition to get those remaining slots filled up. Good practice, and see you guys tomorrow for the final cut." With that I started to walk off to the showers but my name got called, " White!" I turned around to see coach, " yeah coach?" I continued to walk closer to him, " good practice today son, I like what im seeing so far from you, with your size I could use you for our vacant tight end and cornerback position, you interested?" cornerback? I don't even know how to line up for defense let alone be able to guard, " I would love to coach, but Ive never played cornerback in my life." He patted my shoulder, " don't worry about that my coaches will show you how, and your gonna line up for defense tomorrow and see what you got, now hit the showers." Defense? This whole time I was practicing to be a tight end and now I got to play defense? I put on my pants and a black tank top and my hat and started to pack up my things. " hey good read on that safety bro." I turned to see that it was Zach talking, I smiled and nodded, " it was pretty easy, that guy gave me to much room, I couldn't pass up the open field." He laughed, " yeah he had it coming, and you messed up Jason pretty bad too!." I was confused now, " who" he continued to smile, " the linebacker you ran over? Hes the defensive captain, haha hes real pissed that you knocked him down hard." Ahhh during that touchdown play, I remember knocking someone down, " oh him, yeah I just got lucky, I had the momentum and I put more leverage to get him down." Zach just nodded, " I came here to ask also if you wanted to come with me and the guys to the shack for some food." Fuck I got Trig homework to do, but to pass up the invitation by this hunk of a guy to chill, I know what I chose, " yeah im down, you want to ride with me? I don't know how to get there." He just nodded, " sure thing, you ready? Theyre waitng out side." "yeah," I responded back. Me and Zach headed to my Black 2007 Lincoln Mark LT, I know what your thinking im a spoiled kid, but I worked hard for this truck, the deal was for me to average out a 3.5gpa or higher throughout my high school career and I could pick which one I wanted, luckily enough my dad had the money, but that doesn't mean im going to slack off in school now that I have my baby. "Dude this is your car?" I can clearly see that Zach was surprised to see me with a car like this, now that I think of it as I scanned the parking lot most of the kids rode sedans rather than trucks, I guess being brought up in Hawaii everyone there had trucks so it was easy for me to pick this one out. "yeah, got it as a present from my dad for getting good grades." I unlocked the car and mentioned for him to get in. Off we go. We had a good conversation while heading to the Shack, I found out that me and Zach have the same taste in music and in clothing, he also filled me in on his family life, he has a little brother and his parents work too much for him to care about. Now that im getting to know Zach he doesn't seem to be that bad of a guy, maybe it was just me and my clouded judgments that made me think he was an ass, but I could've sworn that he was staring at me on a couple of occasions, or maybe that was just me. When we got inside the place was a total chaos, so much high school kids grabbing orders and moving in and out of booths to talk with friends, I just fallowed Zach to a big booth that were occupied with 3 huge guys. " Guys this is Trevor, Trevor that over there is Spike." Pointing out a very handsome latino male. " He plays running back." He just nodded and I did the same. " that over there is Lee." Pointing me to a red headed and freckled beast, he looked like a ginger kid version of Frankenstein, that's how big he was. He said hi and i nodded and said hi too. " And this guy right here, is Jason, captain of the defensive squad, and if im not mistaken, you flattened him out during your play." Everyone started laughing, but I can tell Jason was clearly embarrassed, he just nodded and said hey, he looked kind of shy, or maybe he was too embarrassed. As we sat, Lee spoke. " you're the all star tight end in Hawaii aren't you? I read about you and how USC and Texas visited you to be recruited." I turned completely red, yeah sure I got a visit but I didn't think that people knew about that, I mean im from Hawaii I thought people only knew Hawaii as a tourist spot. "uhm, yeah during junior year they contacted me, but nothing finalized, I gotta make your team to continue playing." I saw Zach smiling and he said. "The way you pummeled Jason, there's no doubt that your going to make the team." Every one went hysterical, and Jason got more red with emberassment, he looked cute all embarrassed, he caught me staring and we both just smiled, then he spoke. " Don't get use to tackling me, before you know it im going to have you pinned to the ground, I promise." And he winked. I was kind of caught off guard with that, did I hear what I thought I heard? And it seemed like the guys never caught on. I was sitting in between Jason and Trevor, and I swear to god that I kept feeling Jasons knees hit mine, or was I just hallucinating? With some more chit chat I got to find out that Spike is considering to play for a Cal school, as well as Lee, but Trevor was considering an East Coast School, I wonder why so far, but before Jason got to tell me his we all decided to leave. As we all walked out side I remembered I took Zach with me. " Hey Zach do you still need a ride home?" He was talking with Jason and I was wondering what they were talking about but Zach spoke up afterwards. " uhm yeah, actually I do, but could Jason get a ride as well?" Hmm I wouldn't mind, as long as he didn't live past me. "yeah that's fine, I live near Madison Street by the school." Jason nodded. "that's cool, I live like a street away from you, do you mind dropping me off?" God no I don't mind, wait Trev, don't get to hot and bothered, guys like Zach and Jason are straight, so stop it. I had to play it cool. " Nah its not a problem, you guys get in." We all made small talk as I was dropping both guys off, I had to drop Zach off first. " Aight Trev, thanks for the ride bro." "Don't mention it man, see you tomorrow." And we bumped fist, so did he and Jason. Now it was time to drop off this hunk of a man, but he interrupted my thoughts before I could get deeper into my fantasy. " You know your going to make the team right?" I looked at him. "Huh? What makes you say that? I mean I hope I make it", does he know something that I don't?, he pressed on. " The way you read that play and got open for the touchdown, coach likes playmakers on his team." "thanks, I think he might have liked the fact that I can knock down a linebacker too, don't you think?" I had to put that in, I looked at him and he was just smiling from ear to ear shaking his head. "your never gonna let me live that down are you?" I started to laugh. " nope, not one bit." He just kept smiling. "man you know how to kick a guy when hes down huh?" I looked at him, did i take it too far? "hey, listen I was just playing around bro." He nodded. " yeah I know, its cool, I was just messing with you." We both looked at each other, im thinking longer than two guys who just met should be looking. " soooo..." He stammered, but continued. " you got a girlfriend back home? Or found any girls you fancy here?" I couldn't breathe, why do questions like that always ruin the moment? I mean I cant just tell him im into guys. " uhm... No , no girlfriend or any girls here." There I didn't lie, but I couldn't tell him the truth neither. Then a stroke a genius flowed through my veins, and I looked at him now. " how bout you? Any girl friends?" when I asked him that he just smiled. "No, im into guys." WOAH!!!!!!! What the fuck? Did he just say that? No he couldn't have. How can he be so open like that. " Did you just say your into guys?" by now I had parked in front of his house. " yes I did say that, and people in school know, but you would be surprise how open minded people in this school can be." Wow, I would have never pegged Jason to be gay, at 6'4 240lbs of solid muscle, I would have thought other wise. " really? And people are actually cool with it?" He just nodded. "At first it was rough the guys on the team looked at me different, acted different too, but not Spike, Lee or Zach, they stuck around with me, and the coachs, when they found out they told me that my skills on the field and my character off the field wouldn't cloud their judgements on how they see me." He was smiling the whole time he said that, I envied him at the moment, to have that freedom that I long to crave. "Your parents know?" He unlocked the door, but before getting out he turned to me. "Come out and chill with me on my porch." I didn't want to say no, and it was nice to know that i final ly know someone other than myself who's gay. "sure, im down." As we sat down, Jason started to answer the question I had asked him just a second ago. " my parents, well lets just say its complicated, I think they have a clue that I am but just don't want to admit that their only boy is gay, they love me im sure, I hear it a lot from both of them, and I know they wouldn't do anything drastic like kick me out or disown me if I were to tell them, they have close friends that are gay or in a gay relationship, but in the back of my head I just dont want to disappoint them, I feel that once I tell them our dynamics as a family would never be the same, but down the road I have to be honest with them, sooner or later." I know exactly where he was coming from, I didn't want to disappoint my father, he's all I have left and if things were to change I wouldn't know what I would do either. I had to at least tell him I know where he was coming from, he was sharing a part of himself to me the least I could was reciprocate. " I know exactly where your coming from." I said this as I turned to him, in return he did the same but with a confused look all over his face. " you do? Are you saying that your?" " Gay? Yeah I am, I had to at least tell you, you were laying out some heavy stuff on the table, plus if I told you I would have someone to talk to about my feelings now." He was just staring and listening intently to every word I was saying. "Wow" he said. I turned to him now. "what?" "I never thought that you would be gay." "me? How bout you? I feel the exact same about you, I never would have guessed either." He just nodded in agreement and spoke. "yeah I was born and raised around sports, and I guess being around straight acting testosterone filled men molds you in that way, to say the least." I had to agree with him ,all I knew was football and school, and being in sports toughens you up. I spoke up, " yeah I know where your coming from, and im guessing if your like me, your not into flamboyant guys?" He just nodded and said yep. In the midst of our conversation it seem like the more we talked about our personal life the closer he got to me, I could have sworn that he was a few feet away from me. " so now that I know your gay, do you have a boyfriend?" i guess I could tell him that I don't. "no,no boyfriend, I don't do clubs or any of that stuff, how bout you? Im guessing you have one?" he shook his no. "nope, im on the same boat as you, ive been so focused on getting into a good school that I had no time to look I guess." I had to agree with that, the classes im taking this year is crucial for me to get great scholarships and better schools. We were both just sitting down in a comfortable silence, but I could feel his hand grazing my hand, I don't know what to make of it so I just pulled away, and looked at my watch. 1am! What the fuck! Weve been talking for that long? I got up and started to stretch. " listen Jason, I got to get going man, we got school tomorrow, but it was good talking with you man." He got up and stretched as well. " same her Trev, hey listen can I ask you something?" I stopped what I was doing and looked at him. " sure whats up bro?" I can see that he was thinking something but I just don't know what. Then he spoke. "Idontknowifimmovingtofastorifyoureveninterestedinmebutwouldyouliketogograbdinnersometime?" Woah...I barely caught what he said. " woah buddy slow it down, what was it again?" this time he sighed. "I don't know if im moving to fast, but I feel like I want to get to know you, maybe over dinner or something." I had to process it all in, but it clicked, hes asking me out? "uhm...sure, yeah dinner would be cool, had a date in mind?" he just smiled and nodded, man I could really get used to his smile, I noticed that he had one dimple on his right cheek every time he smiled,I liked it. "is tomorrow after practice to soon?" he sounded eager, and I had nothing planned so what the heck. "hehe, yeah that's cool. So lets talk tomorrow at school then?" he just nodded. "yeah sure." "cool, okay imma head off, gotta get some shut eye." I was walking towards my car but before I could open my door, Jason tapped my shoulder, and as I turned around he kissed my cheek. He was all smiles now. "drive safe okay?" I was blushing, me blushing, all I could do was nod and start my car. Im starting to like California already... Kinda long? Sorry, I had to set up my characters so you would get to know them. Comments email me at: yoyodrumssex@yahoo.com its my old email don't ask how I got the name...
