Washington Academy Chapter 19 Summer Fun
Robbie Mathews was anxious when Hell Week started for his Little Brother, Jonathan Bluestone, affectionately referred to as Elwood. He realized that Elwood was in great physical condition, but was still concerned that his Little Brother would give up and "ring out" during the intense week of physical and mental stress.
"Will you help me tonight?" Robbie asked Drew Anderson. "This is the night of Hell Week when you took me to the hot tub and gave me that fantastic massage when I was a plebe. Elwood's so fucking big that I don't think I could possibly massage his body in the time allowed. I still can't believe that he and Jake are so big for their ages!"
Andrew Anderson smiled and quickly agreed to help his Little Brother give Elwood the special treatment for making it through the first day of Hell Week. He'd witnessed the athletic abilities of the "Twin Towers" and couldn't wait for the two huge plebes to join the football and basketball teams. The identical twins were gifted athletes and had acclimated to the unique environment of the George Washington Academy.
Jake and Elwood were exhausted from the first day of Hell Week, and couldn't believe that their Big Brothers were taking them to the Grant Athletic Building for more physical torture. Their fears were extinguished when they were in the hot tub and heard about the oil massages that awaited them. Because of their physical sizes, their bodies had to do more work than the other plebes to complete the required physical challenges, and they had been worn out to the point of quitting the Academy when Robbie and Tracker took them out of their dorm room. They could barely walk to the training tables where Robbie, Drew, Tracker and Keith gave them the hot oil massages.
"I made it through Hell Week and you can too!" Robbie said to his Little Brother during the massage. "Tracker taught you guys how to meditate, and I can tell you from experience that his techniques really work! Please don't let me down."
"Thanks Robbie," Elwood said. "You guys have been great to me and Jake and I won't let you down. When you and Tracker ordered us out of the dorm I was ready to ring out. We're both totally exhausted, but we're determined to hang in there and make it through Hell Week."
The Swamp Test had been drastically reduced in length and intensity, and Robbie was thrilled when Jonathan Bluestone passed the test along with his twin brother. He'd watched the twins struggling through the muck and had seen Elwood go back to help his brother get out of a sinkhole. Right before the twins reached the finish line, Elwood collapsed, and Jake practically carried him across the line. He had tears of joy running down his face when he hugged Elwood and congratulated him for successfully completing Hell Week.
"I'm so proud of you that I wanna scream!" Robbie said to Elwood. "Now we have to wait for Carson to finish so we can really celebrate!"
When Carson Smith and his group of plebe buddies finished the Snake Pit Challenge, he was excited to see a large group of cadets and plebes waiting for him. All of the young men had their hands in the air with their fingers extended. All of the hands were "waving" in the accepted way for deaf people to cheer for their friends. Tears of joy flowed down his face when he ran to Pat Leahy and accepted the hugs from his Big Brother! He hugged Pat and all of the young men who had cheered for his successful completion of the Swamp Test, and knew now that he had a new home filled with understanding friends. All of the plebes and cadets were covered in muck, but no one seemed to care. They exchanged hugs and walked down to the lake to wash away the sticky mud and celebrate this monumental event.
Guy Stephens and Derrick Harmon were recording the results of the last physical test of Hell Week and were pleased at how many plebes finished the course. They both realized that they would have some very talented freshmen for their athletic teams, so they left the campus to celebrate.
"Before we get into the mundane aspects of this Staff Meeting, I have an announcement," Vincent Brown said to his staff members. "We just completed the most successful Hell Week in the entire history of this fine Academy, with a total of 312 plebes passing the tests for transition to Cadet Fourth Class! I've had some complaints about our upper-class cadets using Sign Language to communicate during our educational classes, and how our teachers don't understand what the cadets are saying to each other. Let me make this very clear! We asked our cadets to learn Sign Language, and they've taken the challenge to heart. I'm very happy that most of our cadets can communicate with Carson Smith to make him more comfortable here on our Campus, and now it's time for you to learn the same skills. Cadet Smith will be with us for four years, and I've asked Joanne Madison to offer Sign Language training to all of you who want to understand this special way of communicating. Instead of complaining about cadets using Sign Language, learn the techniques so you can determine if they are mocking you or just being young men who are having fun by communicating with each other! Sign Language is an International language that can be used everywhere. Now, let's get down to business!"
Robbie left the Mess Hall after eating supper and found Trip and Mark Jenkins waiting for him. He really liked Mark and was pleased that the small guy had survived Hell Week and was now a Cadet Fourth Class.
"I was wondering if you were busy," Mark said with his cheeks blushing vividly. "Trip and I'd like to spend some time with you."
Robbie immediately understood what Mark was hinting at. The cute young dude wanted to have sex, but was trying to be discreet.
"We could go play Frisbee in the Quad," Robbie teased, knowing what Mark really wanted.
"You know what he wants!" Trip blurted out. "Don't be a dickhead!"
"Let's go!" Robbie exclaimed.
The three cadets headed for the Grant Athletic Building and hoped that no one was using the Equipment Room. When they got inside the special room, Robbie could see that Mark was very nervous, and was standing behind Trip. It didn't take long for Mark to lose his shyness, and before the trio left the Storage Room, they had coupled in several different positions and swapped bodily fluids. They were all satiated and were surprised to see Drew and Keith waiting for a chance to use the room.
Guy Stephens and Derrick Harmon were watching the football team practice, and were excited after watching Andrew Anderson throw precise passes to a multitude of receivers. Carson Smith had the best "hands" that the two coaches had ever seen, and they hoped that the deaf and mute plebe would be able to perform during the strenuous football games. They knew that Drew would have to "sign" any play changes to the special plebe, and watched Carson closely. They were thrilled to watch Carson understand the play changes, and revise his path into the defensive background.
Drew was comfortable in his quarterback position, quickly realizing that he had new receivers for his passes. Carson was the best receiver he'd ever seen, and when the coaches called short passes, Jonathan Bluestone, affectionately known as "Elwood" was always open. Elwood was a huge target at 6 feet 10 inches tall, and no defensive back could stop him from catching the ball. Drew was sure that this football season would either make or break his chances for a college scholarship, and he was excited. He'd worked hard on the Nautilus Equipment, and developed powerful leg muscles along with increased accuracy in his passing. He loved carrying the ball on quarterback keeper plays, and continued to pound against the cadets playing defense.
"This is the year we run the table!" Guy Stephens said to Derrick Harmon. "Anderson's the best quarterback in the nation, and now he has some excellent receivers! Did you see that? Anderson just ran right over Lamar Young!"
"Lamar should make High School All American this year and land a full scholarship with one of the major colleges!" Derrick replied. "If Anderson stays healthy, every college in the nation will be after him! This year we have the talent to win the State Championship!"
"Darrian Thomas is the best running back that I've ever coached too!" Guy said. "He's only a freshman, but I bet that he could be a starter for any college in the country! We're coaching a bunch of boys that any college would love to have, and our conference will be shocked when they witness the talents of this team! This is our year!"
"Let's wrap up this practice and have a few beers to celebrate!" Derrick said. "My defense will be good, but our offense will be devastating!"
The two coaches ended the practice by congratulating their players, but also challenging them to work hard to get better. They both knew that they had the responsibility to develop their players to the ultimate performances.
"You were awesome today!" Robbie said to Drew in the showers. "I have to work my ass off to stay with Carson, and Elwood is so fucking tall that no one can cover him!"
"This is the best team that I've ever seen!" Drew replied. "We're gonna kick ass this year!"
Carson Smith was thrilled by the positive comments that he got from his teammates. All of them had learned to "sign" to him, and his eyes flew around the shower room to register the positive comments from his teammates.
The Internet was a great friend to him, and he was able to communicate to his parents and younger brother about his love of the George Washington Academy and the wonderful cadets and faculty. His parents had been reluctant to enroll him in the selective academy, and had wanted him to attend a high school that only had deaf students. They had relented after his insistence, and the results were exciting for his entire family.
Robbie was excited about the talent of the football team, and was bonding closely with Elwood, his Little Brother. They spent a lot of time together, and were frequent companions to trips into Traverse City. The height difference caused a lot of attention from the people in the malls, and Robbie loved the unique personality of his Little Brother. Elwood was a joker, and loved to pull pranks on other cadets. Robbie knew many pranks and entertained his special friend with ways to have fun on the campus without getting busted.
The football practice was just beginning when Guy Stephens realized that Andrew Anderson wasn't on the practice field. Drew was never late for practice, and he quickly called Robbie Mathews over.
Robbie had just taken a football from Eric Stephens, the 11-year-old son of the head coach to begin the practice. Eric was thrilled that he was added to the football team as a "manager" and always loved watching the practices and seeing the nude players in the locker room. He was almost 12 years old, and had just started sprouting a few pubic hairs above his adolescent penis that was a full five inches long when fully hard. He avoided showering with the football players, but wasn't embarrassed to shower with Robbie and the other cadets in the Jefferson Dormitory. Eric tossed the football to Robbie and listened to his father questioning Robbie.
"Where's Drew?" Guy Stephens asked. "He's never late for practice!"
"I think he's with Dr. Miller," Robbie replied.
Guy Stephens and Derrick Harmon were both shocked when they heard that their star quarterback was with the Academy doctor, and immediately demanded to know what was wrong with Drew.
"I think he's with Dr. Miller because his dick turned orange," Robbie said before throwing a football to Carson Smith.
Guy Stephens grabbed Robbie and demanded to know what he was talking about. He couldn't imagine what illness would turn Drew's penis orange, and spun Robbie around while demanding more information.
"I told him to stop eating Cheetos and watching porno on his computer, but he won't listen to me!" Robbie replied with a straight face.
"YOU ASSHOLE!" Guy Stephens screamed at Robbie. He quickly realized that Robbie had just "nailed" him in front of his players, and he was relieved and angry at the same time. "FIVE LAPS AROUND THE TRACK FOR BEING A SMARTASS!"
Derrick Harmon was laughing his ass off, and noticed all of the football players had joined in his laughter. He saw that Guy's son, Eric, was laughing so hard that he was afraid the pre-teen would wet his pants.
"FIVE LAPS FOR ALL OF YOU!" Guy screamed at his laughing players.
"Come on, Coach, can't you take a joke?" Robbie asked.
"TEN LAPS FOR THE JOKER!" Guy yelled. "If you say another word, it'll be 15 laps! Eric, that means five laps for you too for mocking your father!"
"What's going on?" Drew asked when he ran up to the two coaches. He saw the entire team headed for the track that circled the practice field, and wondered why all of the players were starting to run laps. "I'm sorry I was late, but Dr. Miller had some forms to fill out for several colleges that I'm considering," Drew said.
"Your Little Brother is a smartass, and you can join the team in running 5 laps!" Guy Stephens said. He held back his laughter until all of the players were on the track and then broke down with Derrick Harmon.
"Mathews really nailed your ass!" Derrick said to his boss. "He threw out the bait, and you took it just like a big bass hitting surface bait out on the lake! God, I love this job!"
"I got busted, but I couldn't let Robbie get away with humiliating me!" Guy replied. "I love that boy like he was my own!"
The two coaches watched the players running the track, and knew that they would have made their players run 5 laps to build up their stamina, even without the joke from Robbie. They were both pleased by the speed of their players, and knew that this team was headed for greatness. They watched the players running the laps and exchanged comments about their hopes for great teams in all competitive sports at the Academy.
When Parents Weekend began, all of the cadets were excited about the important football game against Traverse City North High School. The critical first game of the season was scheduled on the Academy Campus, and the cadets had the campus looking beautiful.
David Mathews drove his Cadillac Seville past the guard booth, and rolled down the windows to enjoy the beauty of the manicured grounds. The aromas of freshly cut grass and the beautiful red roses filled his senses, and he reflected back to his own days of being a cadet on the unique campus. He pointed out the different buildings to his wife, Marie, and told her some of the memories he had of his four years on the campus.
Marie Mathews was in heaven! She had never seen her husband so happy, and shared his enthusiasm in driving on the campus to watch Robbie play in the important football game. She had always enjoyed watching Robbie compete in athletics, but knowing that her husband had been a talented running back for the George Washington Academy during his high school days made this trip exceptional. Robbie had acclimated to the unique environment, and was now one of the most gifted athletes on campus. She was excited and hoped that the cadets would win this football game to start the special weekend with alumni and friends.
Guy Stephens faced his talented players in the locker room before the game started, and looked at their excited faces. He knew that this team was the best that he had ever coached, and was confident that they would win this important game. He hugged his son Eric, and turned to face the players before the game started.
"This is it!" Guy began. "You guys have done everything that Coach Harmon and I have asked of you in practice, but now you have to prove to everyone how good you really are! We've got the talent and experience, and a ton of alums are here to watch us win this game tonight! This is the Centennial Season for the George Washington Academy, and everyone in this state is watching the game on television to see what we can do! We've beat the Chargers two years in a row, and tonight will make three! Don't hold back! Prove to the alumni and the television audience that the Eagles can soar with the best in this state!"
The players were all pumped up for this important game, and wanted to impress their parents and alumni by destroying the Traverse City North Chargers. They were ready and confident!
WTCM, Channel 12, was broadcasting the game on local television, and two seasoned commentators were giving the pre-game information about the two talented teams. Bernie Thomas was the lead commentator, and he began the broadcast by saying, "We welcome our television audience to the first game in the Tri-County Conference, pitting the Chargers of Traverse City North High School against the Eagles of the George Washington Academy. This is a special treat for our viewers because, for the past five years, the winner of this game has gone on to win the League Championship."
"We're not the only ones interested in this game tonight," George Martin added. "This is the 100th year for the George Washington Academy, and dignitaries from all over the country are here for Parents' Weekend activities. Senators, Congressmen, judges and military officers have returned to this campus that launched their important careers, and are here for this exciting weekend that kicks off a full year of celebration for this fine military academy. Earlier I talked to scouts from at least 10 of the top universities in this country, not including West Point, the Air Force Academy, and the Naval Academy at Annapolis. These two powerhouses in athletics have developed some of the finest collegiate and professional football players of any high school in the nation."
"Last year, this game was played on the Traverse City North field, and the cadets won the game by a score of 42 to 14 and went on to win the Tri-County Conference Championship," Bernie Thomas stated. "David Benson had a great game last year, but he graduated and now plays college football for Notre Dame. Head Coach Guy Stephens has a new star in Darrian Thomas, a freshman back who's 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 180 pounds. Thomas is from Louisiana and I've seen him in practice making cuts and runs that would make any college coach envious! Andrew Anderson was a great quarterback last year, and was voted to the Parade High School All American Team. Anderson's a senior this year, and every major college in the nation is trying to get him to sign a letter of intent to play for them. Justin Chambers was a runner-up in the All American voting last year at the wide receiver position, and returns for his senior year to impress the college scouts, and will be joined by a unique freshman, Carson Smith. Smith is the first deaf mute player in many years at the George Washington Academy, and everyone says that he is one of the best receivers in the nation."
"Last year's game was tarnished by a brutal attack by one of the Traverse City Chargers against Robert Mathews, a talented defensive back," George Martin added. "Mathews is ready to play tonight, and has been named in several pre-season All State votes by High School Coaches. Keith Phillips and Lamar Thomas anchor a talented defense, and this is the first time we will see identical twins start for the Eagles! Jacob and Jonathan Bluestone came to the Academy this year, and the twins are affectionately referred to as Jake and Elwood, just like Dan Akroyd and John Belushi in the classic movie, 'The Blues Brothers'. The twins are 6 feet 10 inches tall, and weigh 255 pounds each. They are expected to make major contributions to both this football team and the talented Eagles basketball team. Jake lines up as the left defensive end to complement Keith Phillips at the right end, and Elwood plays tight end for the offense."
"Mike Bass is the Head Football Coach for the Traverse City North Chargers, and he lost a key player in Richmond Adams, a talented quarterback who accepted a scholarship to play for the University of Michigan Wolverines this year," Bernie Thomas said. "Coach Bass will now rely on Andre Wilkinson, a talented junior who saw a lot of playing time last year. Wilkinson is a double threat with his passing and running abilities, and will look for Darnell Watson or McLain Johnson in passing situations, or hand the ball to Leron Williams, a talented sophomore tailback."
"Both of these coaches run clean programs and demand fair play," George Martin said. "The Eagles are coming out on the field, led by Team Captain Andrew Anderson! The Academy band strikes up the 'Fight Song' and the partisan crowd is standing up and cheering for the cadets!"
Drew was pumped up for the first football game of the season. He knew that his performance would be witnessed by several college scouts, and prayed that his team would win and he would have a good game. He was proud that his teammates had elected him Captain, and was much honored to lead them out on the field.
David and Marie Mathews were excited about the football game and the Parents' Weekend activities, and met many of the parents of the cadets in the stands. David and Marie both knew some basic sign language, and welcomed John and Karen Smith, parents of Carson Smith, to the campus. They also enjoyed the company of Tom and Carol Anderson and their beautiful daughter, Jennifer.
John and Linda Bluestone were excited about coming to the beautiful campus to watch their sons, Jake and Jon, play football. Linda was proud of her sons for making it through Hell Week, and was excited about spending time with her brother, Derrick Harmon. Derrick had convinced her and her husband that Jake and Elwood would settle down when they acclimated to the life on the campus, and the reports had been great. The tall twins had been in trouble in the past, but all of the progress reports had been positive.
"The Eagles won the toss and elected to receive," Bernie Thomas announced. "It looks like Guy Stephens wants to test his offense against the tough Chargers' defense."
"Back to receive the kick is Darrian Thomas, the talented freshman running back from Louisiana," George Martin said. "Thomas takes the kick and downs the ball in the end zone. The Eagles will start this game on their own 20-yard line!"
"Andrew Anderson brings his team to the line, with Carson Smith split wide to the left," Bernie Thomas said. "The Eagles are in the 'Power I' formation, with Darrian Thomas at running back. Anderson takes the snap and hands off to Thomas going up the middle. Ricky Carlson makes a saving tackle at the 32-yard line! Thomas was one block away from taking that play for a touchdown, but it's a first down for the Eagles!"
"You're right about that tackle!" George Martin said. "Thomas got great blocking at the line of scrimmage, and was in the secondary before he was tripped up!"
"Anderson takes the snap and pitches back to Thomas heading around the left end!" Bernie Thomas announced. "He gets a great block from Elwood Bluestone, and he's finally forced out of bounds on the 47-yard line. It's another first down for the Eagles!"
Tom Anderson was thrilled to watch his son, Drew, play football. He knew that Drew wanted to play college football, and he was convinced that Drew would get a lot of scholarship offers if he stayed healthy. Jennifer Anderson loved watching her brother play sports, but also was looking for Robbie Mathews. She really liked Robbie, and had kept in touch with him by email ever since they'd met a year ago.
"Anderson fakes to Thomas and drops back to pass," Bernie Thomas said. "He's got a receiver open, and Anderson throws a bomb that's caught by Carson Smith! Smith is at the 20, 10, 5, touchdown, George Washington Academy!"
"That was a perfect pass from Anderson to Smith!" George Martin said. "Carson Smith never had to slow down and took that pass in for a touchdown on his first reception as a cadet! Look at the cadets on the sideline! All of the players, coaches and fans are standing up with their hands held high in the air, waving their hands in the universal way to cheer for a deaf person. Carson Smith is deaf and mute, but his teammates and the fans in the stands know how to cheer for him!"
"Michael Edwards, the Personnel Director at the Academy is here with us in the booth," Bernie Thomas said to the television audience. "Mike, it's great to see the players and fans cheer for Carson Smith after that terrific catch and his first high school touchdown!"
"All of the cadets and many of our Academy Staff volunteered for Sign Language classes when they learned that Carson would enroll last May," Mike Edwards added. "The cadets and faculty took the classes on their own time, and wanted to make Carson feel at home. I see that the referee gave Carson the football, and I bet that he'll give it to his younger brother, David, or his parents. David Smith is 12 years old, and is the only family member who can hear and speak."
"That's the Smith family in the stands cheering for Carson!" Bernie Thomas said when the television camera panned across the stands. "The looks on the faces of the proud parents and brother of Carson Smith tell it all! They're proud of Carson and thrilled that the cadets and fans are cheering in that special way for their son!"
"The Eagles offense didn't waste any time putting seven points on the scoreboard, and now we'll see what the Chargers can do when they take over," George Martin added. "We'll be right back after this commercial break!"
"Sven Jorgensen's kick goes out of the end zone, and the Chargers will start from their own 20-yard line," Bernie Thomas announced. "Jorgensen is one of the best kickers in the country, and I know a lot of colleges are watching this talented junior from Denmark."
"The Chargers come to the line of scrimmage with Andre Wilkinson at quarterback" George Martin said. "Darnell Watson is split to the left with Leron Williams at tailback. Wilkinson takes the snap and hands off to Williams up the middle! Williams is nailed for a two yard loss by Lamar Thomas!"
"Thomas was blitzing, and Williams never had a chance to get his feet moving before he was tackled for a loss," Bernie Thomas added. "It's second and 12 for the Chargers."
"Andre Wilkinson takes the snap and pitches back to Leron Williams!" George Martin said. "Williams is trying to turn the corner, but he's forced out of bounds by Jake Bluestone!"
"Jacob Bluestone fought off his blocker and was able to contain Leron Williams for no gain on that play!" Bernie Thomas announced. "The Chargers are faced with a third and 12 from their own 18-yard line, and I expect Mike Bass to call a pass play!"
"Andre Wilkinson comes to the line with Darnell Watson split wide to the left and McLain Johnson split wide to the right!" George Martin announced. "Wilkinson drops back to pass, and the Eagles are blitzing! Wilkinson gets rid of the ball, but it's intercepted by Robert Mathews!"
"Mathews was covering Darnell Watson, and elevated at the right time to take that pass away from the Charger receiver! Mathews was taken to the turf, but the Eagles have the ball at the 49-yard line of the Chargers!" Bernie Thomas reported.
David Mathews screamed his approval of Robbie's interception, and quickly traded "high fives" with the other people in the crowd. Jennifer Anderson hugged David Mathews and was screaming her approval of Robbie's exciting interception.
"Post 25!" Guy Stephens yelled to Drew before the offense took the field. He was ready to test the Charger defense, and knew that Justin Chambers would be open if Carson Smith was able to fool the defensive backs.
"Anderson takes the snap, fakes to Darrian Thomas and drops back to pass!" Bernie Thomas announced. "He throws a bomb that's caught by Justin Chambers for another Eagles touchdown!"
"That was a perfect fake and pass by Anderson, and Justin Chambers was wide open in the end zone!" George Martin added. "Guy Stephens has a ton of talent on his team, and he's not afraid of turning Andrew Anderson loose on the first offensive play following that interception by Robert Mathews!"
"The extra point by Sven Jorgensen is good, and we'll take a break for a commercial, with the score, Washington Academy 14, Traverse City North 0!" Bernie Thomas announced.
Tom and Carol Anderson were thrilled that Drew had already thrown two touchdown passes in the game, and celebrated with the other family members who were cheering for the Eagles. Jennifer Anderson was proud of her big brother, and couldn't wait to congratulate him!
Before the first half of the game ended, Darrian Thomas had scored on a 55-yard run, and Drew had scored on a 25-yard keeper play where he broke two tackles before spinning into the end zone.
"Both teams head for the locker rooms with the score, Washington Academy 28, Traverse City North, 7," Bernie Thomas announced. "George, what do the Chargers have to do to get back into this game?"
"Guy Stephens has turned loose his offensive weapons, and the Chargers will have to figure out a way to get to Andrew Anderson!" George Martin replied. "Anderson has found the open receivers, and showed how powerful he is when he keeps the ball and blasts into the Charger secondary! I don't think the Chargers have quite the weapons needed to shoot down this talented Eagles team!"
When the game ended, the two announcers wrapped up the broadcast with their comments.
"We've just witnessed one of the best quarterbacks in the nation in Andrew Anderson!" Bernie Thomas said. "Anderson completed 16 out of 20 passes for 4 touchdowns with no interceptions, and scored another touchdown on a quarterback keeper play! Darrian Thomas had 250 yards on 20 carries, and put two touchdowns on the scoreboard in his first game as an Eagle!"
"We thank our television audience for joining us for this game, and leave the campus of the George Washington Academy with the final score Eagles 49, Chargers 14!" George Martin added.
The huge crowd in Washington Hall was enjoying the delicious buffet when Vincent Brown used the microphone to get everyone's attention. "Ladies and Gentlemen, now entering the hall are the coaches, trainers and football players!" he said excitedly. "Let's give our heroes a rousing welcome for defeating the Traverse City North Chargers by a score of 49 to 14!"
The crowd erupted with cheers, whistles and thunderous applause to welcome the heroes of the evening. In acknowledgement of Carson Smith, everyone also raised his or her hands in the air so he could enjoy the cheering.
Jennifer Anderson was looking for Robbie, and when she saw him among the football players, she ran up to him and gave him a big hug and kiss. She had been staying in touch with Robbie over the past year, and their friendship was growing stronger each day.
"Your sister didn't get pregnant in the past year, but I think Robbie will change that real soon!" Keith Phillips teased Drew after watching the obvious display of affection. "He may not become your brother-in-law, but I bet he makes you an uncle real soon!"
"I'll kill him if he tries anything with Jen!" Drew threatened. "I'm gonna break them apart and then break him in half!"
"Don't start something you can't finish!" Keith warned. "Robbie's already kicked your ass a bunch of times in the Martial Arts Room, and he'll do it again right here in front of a ton of witnesses."
Tom and Carol Anderson were standing with David and Marie Mathews in the hall, and saw the warm reception that Robbie got from their daughter, Jennifer. Tom saw the fire in Drew's eyes, and quickly grabbed his son before he could get to Robbie and Jennifer.
"Cool your jets young man!" Tom ordered. "Jennifer's almost 17 and she's old enough to make her own decisions about her life! You know your sister; If she knows that she can upset you by being friendly with Robbie, she'll go overboard just to see your reaction! You played the best game of your life tonight, and I'm proud to be your father. Now go back and enjoy the evening with your teammates."
Drew grumbled, but followed the instructions from his father. He loved his parents and sister, and realized that his father had stopped him from making an ass of himself.
"Are you gonna puke tonight?" Jennifer teased Robbie. "Last year you made quite a scene!"
"Hey, I apologized for hurling all over the place!" Robbie replied. "I sure don't want to ruin a chance to spend time with the most beautiful girl in the world!"
Jennifer loved it when Robbie smiled. His blue eyes could light up the room, and his deep dimples caused her heart to skip a beat. She had never met a guy who made her blush like this, and she wanted to spend every minute with the handsome cadet.
"Drew looks like he's ready to kill someone," Jenny said to Robbie. "He thinks that you're trying to get in my panties, but he's way off base! I'm the one who wants to get in your pants, but you aren't making moves like you should!"
"Jesus, Jenny Kay, Drew would kill me if I did more than hug you or hold your hand!" Robbie said. "I really like you, but I'm not ready for a serious relationship. I'm gonna always treat you with the respect that you deserve."
"I'll wait for you," Jennifer said honestly. "Don't make me wait too long."
