Deklan, paused before stepping out of his dad's car not sure if he was really ready for this new beginning to his life. He looked out at this new school, in a new town ,in a new state, and wondered if he would ever fit in or find friends. After living in Boston for the first fourteen years of his life, he felt totally out of place in this small rural Kentucky town. The total population of the town was only 2500 people. His old school had that many kids in each grade. Deklan had begged his father to turn down the job promotion as new head of production at the ultra modern mini-truck plant. But, the money was just too good to pass up.
Deklan stepped out of the car and headed into the new school where the total population from grades K-12 was less than 600. His dad had enrolled him last Friday, the school consisted of three wings. K-5 in one wing, then 6-8 in the middle wing, and 9-12 in the last wing. There was only one gym and locker room for both middle and highschool sports. The grade school had a small gym for their own use. The sports fields were separate also. The worst thing about this new school was the requirement that all middle and highschool students must shower after each PE class. At Deklan's old school showers had been optional, only the boys who had a lot to show off showered. Deklan had never showered at school, puberty was still a far off dream for him.
Deklan stands 5'2" tall and weights only 94 pounds. He has blond almost white hair that consists of loose curls, that hang down to below his ears. His eyes are hazel and constantly changing from golden to almost a blue-green. His eyebrows were a much darker brown and his ultra long eyelashes were dark brown. His eyes were large and very expressive. A light dusting of freckles runs from one cheekbone across his cute upturned nose to the other cheekbone. He was always being mistaken for a girl, and with his still high voice he sounded like one also. Deklan had wanted a short hair cut, but his dad told him no, that he his hair was beautiful and should keep it just the way is was. Besides, "the girls will all love your curls, I had to fight the girls off as soon as I go to highschool and you will too," said his dad.
Deklan was worried that when his fellow students in gym class saw the he was still bald as a baby and still had a little boy dick that he would be the laughing stock of the school. But, all that meant nothing; because the first bell rang and he had to head to his homeroom. On Friday he had met Mr Croner, his homeroom teacher Deklan walked into the room and choose a seat in the far back corner. Students began to filter into the room, and then a group of five boys pushed their way into the room moving all the other students aside. The gang marched to the far corner where Deklan was sitting, "what to fuck do you think you are doing prettyboy these seats are reserved for men, not fags," the leader said just loud enough for Deklan to hear, but not the teacher. Deklan looked up at the five boys all much larger than himself, and though shit, homeroom hasn't even started and already I am having trouble. "This is my first day here and I didn't know these seats were reserved, sorry," said Deklan. He grabbed his backpack and headed to the opposite side of the room this time choosing a seat in the middle and more towards the front. As he was walking away he heard the leader snicker "what a pussy".
He sat down, in the seat on his left was a girl with long dark brown hair. She stuck out her hand and said, "I'm Mandy, what's yours"? "Deklan". "Well don't pay any attention to those boys they are jerks, just because they were the best jocks in middle-school they think they will rule here too. But the only reason they gave you a hard time is they always sit in the back so they can fool around. And the minute they saw how cute you are they new all the girls in the school will be soon be swooning over you."
Deklan rolled his eyes as if to say whatever, and was thinking how weird this place was, who uses words like swoon. He thought to himself well Toto we sure aren't in Boston anymore. The final bell rang, and Mr Croner called the class to order. He passed out lots of papers and student handbooks. While the students were busy filling out all the sheets. He called the role of new students. Deklan was busy filling out the form and didn't pay a lot of attention until he heard the name Brock Williamson. Instead of just saying here like all the other students he stood and loudly said, "me and my boys are here, but what is that wimpy 6 grader doing here in highschool?" as he pointed to me. He was so loud that all the rest of the student looked up at what was going on.
My face must have turned as red as a beet because I could feel the heat from it. "That is Deklan Phelps and he is where he belongs, and Brock, you aren't in middle-school anymore you, and your pals are now on the bottom of the rung. If you try any of your foolishness here you will find yourself and boys on my detention list. Now sit down and be quite," said Mr Croner.
After filling out all the forms the bell rang to began classes. I had English first period on Monday through Friday, second period I had math, third was earth-science than computer skills, than lunch, right after lunch was gym. Then history and finally a studyhall. Everything went well until lunch, when I got to the cafeteria and grabbed my lunch tray I pushed it down the line only to discover the food offered was covered in gravy or fried. There wasn't any salads or yogurt, not a bottle of water in sight and all the milk was whole or chocolate. The only fruit was from a can and all the bread was white. I pushed my tray down the line hoping to find at least one thing I could eat. I settled on a dish of jello when I got to the cashier she was a black grandmother type with a big smile she said, "my, my honeychild, where's your food? You go back and get all you want I will make sure that's it is paid for." "No, I have plenty of money, it's just that there isn't any food I can eat on the line. I'm sure the food is good and everything, but I only eat salads, fresh fruit and yogurt and good things like that and fat free milk and water. I hope you don't take offence but I can't eat the kind of food you are serving. I only eat fresh food and always lowfat." I whispered. "Well honeychild you need some of that fattening food you are nothing but a slip of a boy. You need to put some meat on your bones." she laughed.
I paid for my jello, and walked to the back of the room to find a table where I could be alone. To think about what was going to happen in PE class. I had been told to bring shorts and a t-shirt as well as a towel, the school provided shower gel from dispenses in the shower room. There weren't even private showers just a big room with a lot of shower heads. I eat my jello and sat thinking. Before the bell rang I put my tray on the line and headed to my locker for my gym clothes. I walked into the locker-room and went to my assigned locker. I changed as quickly as possible, and then waited for the rest of the students to be ready. I got my first shock when I discovered that the PE classes had students from all four grads 9-12 in them. The were at least 35 boys in the class and who would be there but Brock and his boys. I defiantly was the smallest boy in the class. When Brock and his pals saw me he just couldn't resist making a comment. "Well if it isn't the wimpy prettyboy, aren't you in the wrong locker-room the girl's is across the hall". This brought a round of hoots from his friends, and most of the other boys there. I wanted to just crawl under a rock and die at that moment. Thank goodness the coach came in just then. And whistled us outside, once there he told us we were going to play flag football. He appointed two of the oldest boys as captains and they began to choose teams. Both teams had chosen equal numbers of boys until there was just on boy left. Yup, you guessed right me. Coach looked at the two captains and asked which one wanted the shrimp. Both boys shook their heads no. The coach looked at both of them and said Butch he is on your team. I had never played football, or even watched the game. I had played golf in the fall and then gymnastics during the winter, and tennis in the spring.
"Over here shrimp" said the boy whose name must have been Butch. We all put on the flags a different color for each team, our team had the ball kicked to us first. Butch told me to block after he caught the ball. The ball was kicked and he caught it, and the other boys ran down the field. I ran too not having any idea what blocking meant. All of sudden Brock came running at me and mowed down like bowling pin. When he landed on my I heard a loud snap and I had the wickedest pain in my arm I had ever felt. I tried to not cry, but it just hurt so bad, I had never been hurt in my life other than a few scrapes. I lay on the ground moaning and crying. Brock jumped up and ran back to the line. I don't think anyone noticed me. I was hurting so much that I couldn't move. Butch began to call out numbers and took a look around and yelled "get your ass up here pussy". I didn't care I just lay there, my arm was bent way wrong and it looked like the bone was trying to push through the skin. When Butch yelled at me the coach must have seen me, and blew his whistle. He ran over to me and took one look and said, "oh shit" Butch run to the office and have them call the rescue squad he has a badly broken arm. How did you fall down boy,"asked the coack? I just looked at him and shouted the first thing that came to mind, "fuck you, you neanderthal Brock knocked me down and landed on top of me. My dad is going to sue all of you stupid bastards for this." I was still crying the coach turned beet red and looked down at me and shouted, "you little fucking prettyboy pussy how dare you talk to me like that. As soon as your are back I will have you running laps until you puke your guts out," he bellowed. All the other boys were milling about, just then the principal came running down to the field, and took one look at me, "George what is going on here I told you that there was to be only flag football no tackling. Do you have any idea who this boys father is? Well I do he is the head man
at the new truck plant, do you have any idea how bad this is going to look to him. I just assured him on Friday that Deklan would be safer here than at his old school and would find us to be very friendly. Who did this?" It was Brock he stumbled and accidently ran into the kid." answered the coach. "That's not true a voice said." I looked up to see might have said that and saw a brown haired boy step forward. Brock told us he was going to mess up the prettyboy, and I saw him run him down and tackle him."
Brock jumped at the boy and a fight started between the two of them. The coach separated the two of them and then Mrs. Olsen the principal looked at Brock and said, "did you think I was kidding when I told you and your father that if you just started one fight this year I would suspend you and make you ineligible for sports for the whole year. Well you just earned yourself a one week suspension and no sports for the year buddy."
"You bitch you can't suspend me of kick me out of sports. I'll speak to my dad tonight, and he'll fire you fat ass. You work for him bitch so fuck off and get out of my face." He then turned around and high fived his boys. "Mr Williamson , your dad my be the chairman of the schoolboard, but this is my school, not your dads; and you just added another week to your suspension. All of you get showered and Brock and Todd report to my office. I told all of you last year there would be no more fighting or bullying in my school and I meant it. George take them back I can hear the siren tell them where to come, make sure those boys don't start again. Have the boys go to studyhall for the rest of the period."
"The boys began to leave the field, but the brown haired boy Todd walked over to where Deklan lay on the ground and knelt down and said, "look I'm sorry your arm got broke. I'm Todd." and then he ran off the field too. The paramedics where stabilizing Deklan's arm when his dad came running onto the field. He took one look at Deklan arm and went to his knees by Deklan's head and began to try to comfort his son who was still crying softly. "What happened Deklan," asked his dad? "What happened, one of the boys in my homeroom decided to get the prettyboy. We were playing some stupid jock game called flag football no one is supposed to get hurt. But, Brock did this to me on purpose. I'll never come back here. They all hate me and look what they did to me on my first day. I'm going home dad with or without you I can live with grandma. As soon as I can travel I want a plane ticket out of this hick town," Deklan shouted. "Mr Phelps we are ready to transport him now," said one of the paramedics.
"Do you want me to go with you in the ambulance Deklan," asked his dad? "I'm sorry sir but, that not allowed. If you just follow us, we will show you to the hospital over in Deckinsville," said the paramedic. "I'll be right behind you Deklan."
"Mr Phelps I'm so sorry about this, but let me assure you that the boy is going to be severely punished," said Mrs Olsen.
Well that it's for chapter one, as you must guess Deklan is gay or this story wouldn't be here. Should I write more.
