They both smiled and gave the most generous kiss they could manage while in motion as they were heading in to math before splitting into their respective groups. The math teacher was Ms. Lin, a Chinese woman who had been living in the US for close to two decades, she understood the course very well and was a talented mathematician but not the greatest teacher. At least not in classrooms, one on one she was perfectly decent, but in a large class she just couldn’t create the order necessary for a stable teaching environment. She was only 5’1” and weighed around 95 lbs., very thin, in her late-thirties, very pale complexion with not an unattractive face, but the eyelids among other things showed that stress was taking its toll. Her biggest disadvantage was her voice though, her English was perfectly clear but she had a strong accent and was quite high pitched. The class having a substantial amount of clowns, chest-beating jocks and naive bimbo’s who put provide a laugh track to accompany the ridicule, mocking and insulting made at Ms. Lin’s expense and adopt a defiant uninterested tone to even the most basic of requests.
The class was then very horrific for anyone intended to learn. The reason why there was a substantial minority of jocks in the class when they expressed no interest in learning the subject is simple. The school is well known for athletics not academics. The school then massively biases itself in favor of producing good athletes and academics or well educated professionals barely make a mention in the schools official mythology of itself. To achieve its own goals the school administrators happily throw every opportunity at and bend every rule for the jocks in the hope that they prove themselves not to be slobbering Neanderthals and get a good scholarship.
Andrew and Sharon fitted in many respects the jock and cheerleader stereotypical couple, both were very athletic, popular and with extroverted personalities. Andrew is a talented wrestler and footballer, Sharon is a talented sprinter and cheerleader.
Andrew weighed 220 lbs. and stood 6’1” with low body fat he had a very well balanced impressive physique, very broad shoulders and large pectorals, a large jaw, which gave his face a square look and added to the gorilla eqsue look he gave off. Funnily he still lacked facial hair and had quite a baby face, emphasized by scruffy blonde, almost white, hair, regarded by most girls as very attractive.
Sharon whilst still being very attractive was probably further from the top of her respective food chain than Andrew. Her figure and body were beyond exceptional but her face was very plain Jane, nice eyes and lips but her jaw seemed slightly elongated and ending with a sharp chin, her cheeks and nose also seemed slightly subpar. Her face was not ugly by any stretch of the imagination but relative to her body or the faces of other girls it was weak and caused her to use makeup and accessories excessively.
She was tall at 5’7”, weighing around 125 lbs., this height allowed her to absorb the muscle she had put on from sprinting, cheer leading, exercising and other sports. Thanks to the height and muscle she had the most perfect long strong legs that pinnacles’ with two big, round, firm, material devouring glutes, the whole set being statuesque beautiful. She had always had a big behind but when she started sprinting and exercising it just seemed to explode.
If the lower body was a gift from the gods then she had made a conscious effort to keep her upper body in balance. Like most girls it was quite a challenge. She loved the female Olympian body that she had developed but as her lower body packed on muscle the upper body seemed to be left behind. Her breasts were a noticeable but unimpressive B cup, she had to make a conscious effort to strengthen her upper body to maintain an hourglass figure or else she would end up as a pear. Andrew had helped her build a good regime to get this done and by now there was clear strength in her upper body. Her shoulders were wider, rounder and more pronounced; her arms were thicker and had small outward curves on both their front and back about half way down; her breasts seem to sit at an increased incline as her pectorals had been pushed out; resting beneath them were invisible but evidently there strong abs. For a girl Sharon was probably the buffest in the school and whilst fitness in girls seemed to be a complete meh in terms of attracting the boys Andrew took an exception to it, respecting and being more attracted to her because of it.
Where both of them diverted from their stereotypes is that they were big tent people. Both had a wide variety of interests outside athletics and their social circles reflected those interests. They both liked games, reading and were willing to give any kind of music a listen. They had such varied tastes because they were not bullies but friendly, approachable and empathetic when both could have, if they wanted too, act like the little tyrants many of their sporting peers were.
The worst of this crowd was James, one of the jocks present in the maths class. A giant that dwarfed even Andrew, standing at 6’4” and weighing over 260 lbs.(with little fat) he was the schools star footballer often slapping aside the opponent's linemen like rag dolls. He was extremely physically gifted and he knew it, alpha male to the core he lead the other footballers and wrestlers against anyone he thought was due a humiliation. Not very handsome but he didn’t need it.
Andrew being on many of his teams fraternizes with James and his ilk but didn’t share in the bullying, just tolerated it. Sharon was more puritan about it; Andrew had to receive a moral anatomy of every transgression that his “friends” in the jock crew committed. He gave lip service to them being nasty characters but never stood up to them or stood up for their victims, only, away from prying eyes, comforted them afterwards. Sharon tried to stand up to James and friends herself but they just wrote her off as a sob sister, dismissing her with crude might is right rationalizations for their actions, usually whilst laughing, refusing in a chauvinistic fashion to take her seriously.
In Ms. Lin’s class the chest thumping heckling was on display. Ms. Lin had sent another Jock, Chad, out the class towards the principal, coming back shorter than expected with a supposed slap on the wrist though no evident formal punishment, a testament to the leverage that the Jocks had in relation to the schools dependency on producing athletes for the ivy league. As he walked back into the class giving Ms. Lin a celebratory look then proceeding to turn to the class with arms waved the class reciprocated led by James with triumphalist hooting, desk drumming and laughing. Sharon sat in the back, cross armed, face scowled with a disapproving look at Andrew who was half-heartedly grouping with his fellow cheering jocks. She was hoping he would turn around and clock her disapproval, he didn’t; another establishment victory.
Sharon loved Andrew but hated his narcissism, thinking he could be loved by everyone if he just struck the right balance and never stood up to or disagreed with anyone, relying on humour and charm offensives to keep a personal peace. He would never do harm to anyone but had no compunction in sitting in the eye of a hurricane of harm waiting for the calm to come back.
