Jordan stood there at the front door with everyone staring at him. Then as seen as it started, it stopped. All the students turned back toward their conversations and talked like nothing happened. What’s going on?
Jordan walked down the hall like he owned them. He had gained a bit of a cocky attitude and what not. Suddenly, he felt a light punch to his left shoulder. He turned around and saw one of the players on the swim team, Jase.
Jace “Hey! How’s the number one swimmer doing on this fine morning?”
Jordan was thoroughly confused. Why wasn’t anyone wondering why he was so huge? It’s not like this happened everyday! He decided to play along anyway “Pretty good. I had an awesome jog this morning. Felt a good pump.”
Jace smirked “Well anyway. Coach wanted me to tell you that he wants to see you before home room. That gives you about 15minutes. I would go. He seemed pretty excited.”
Jordan was curious “Ok. Thanks for the heads up.”
Jace “No prob.” With that, Jace ran off to pass a message onto another student. The kid was like Hermes, the school messenger!
Jordan walked to the coaches office and saw him sitting behind his desk looking at a pamphlet. “Coach Reese? You called for me?”
Reese looked up and with a small smile “Yes. You are here to talk about your future! Now is not a time to be shy or modest. We all know you’re the best swimmer in the state, and maybe the nation! You have caught some attention from some very important people in very important places. Trust me. I did my research. Now take a look at this.” Reese handed Jordan the pamphlet. It showed a college campus surrounded with ponds and cherry trees that were just blossoming. “Looks nice right? Well guess what. They are offering you a full ride if you sign a contract swearing that you will go to their university! They gave me a call this morning and they want to hear back with in a week. What do you think?”
Jordan was speechless. He was only a sophomore and colleges were already looking at him! He was stunned “I… I… I need to sleep on it. Do you mind?” Your neck was starting to hurt because you have to look down on every body from your 6ft 11in perspective.
Reese nodded in understanding. He nodded with approval “Good! That’s what I wanted to hear. You didn’t just nose dive right into something before you understood it. Save that for the pool. Here. Take the rest of the material they sent. Read up.” He hands you a box of material. “And Jordan. If you don’t accept, it’d be ok. Its only sophomore year. There are two more big ones to use up. Two years to get more offers. And I bet an IV league school has already taken interest in you right now. You just got to show them your true colors.”
Jordan felt like he was holding his future in a box. His arms felt weighed down by expectations and decision. Though, Reese did help him calm down a bit with the last part “Thanks coach. I’ll sleep on it.”
With that, he left feeling slightly less excited, but then he remembered his growth and what it had given him. His excitement returned anew.
The rest of the day went on ‘normally’ until he came to gym. He pretty much excelled beyond his previous capabilities.
When pool practice came around, he changed into his swim trunks and diving cap. As he stepped out, he saw that some people had lined up along the bleachers to see his bulging muscles.
When you stepped out, you saw some of the girls gossiping about whether Jordan were sill a virgin. At that point, he realized he still didn’t have a girlfriend to adore his godly muscles.
Wow! He’s become more and more self absorbed.
As he got in the water and did his laps, he felt like it was a repeat of his dream. However, he wanted to beat his previous amount. He stopped at 150 laps even. He got out panting and laying on the floor, but got up when he heard his stomach growl. He was starving! Jordan did a quick shower, changed and sprinted home. By then, his stomach was eating away at itself. It was almost painful.
When he got inside, he noticed that no one was at home yet. Jesse was a basketball fanatic and Jacob was a baseball nut. They were both at practice. His parents were at work.
Jordan ran sprint/walked into the kitchen and started to cram an much left over pizza into his mouth that it could fit. The strange thing was that there were three boxes of left over pizza, and they were gone once Jordan was done with them.
Sitting back, he let out a belch and rubbed his now taunt stomach. It was full to the brim with pizza. Then as fast as it formed, his super human metabolism devoured the pizza. His round stomach had shrunk back down to his tight 6pack.
After a moment of resting, he remembered that Xav was expecting him. Jordan got up and started running to Xav. When he got there, all the lights were, out but the door was open.
