Sandra was a cheerleader. Me, I was just a regular guy who happened to be in some of the same courses as her. We'd been in work groups occasionally but, although we hit if off OK and were friendly, we had never dated. Either I had a current girl or she had a current boy, the time never seeming quite right.
Today was slightly different. I'd recently broken up with my steady (she dumped me) and I'd heard that Sandra had also broken up with her current steady. I ran into her at a friendly match the school was playing.
Because it was a friendly match the coach was giving the wannabes a run to see how they went. In the same spirit, several of the senior cheerleaders had stood down, giving cheerleader wannabes a go. Sandra, at nearly nineteen, was as about as senior as a cheerleader could get without graduating and no longer being a cheerleader. She was one of those who'd volunteered to sit out the game.
It was not one of the more interesting games I'd attended. The next exciting bit of play would also be the first, but I couldn't see it happening anytime soon. I was wandering around the outskirts of the crowd, wondering if I'd be lacking in school spirit if I went home, when I found Sandra also wandering around, looking bored.
"Not enjoying the game?" I asked.
"Let's say I'm glad I won't be here next year if this is the team they're going to field. To really cheer for someone you need some hope of winning, otherwise you only go through the motions. It can be a bit dispiriting."
"Hey, they could win," I insisted. "The team they're playing isn't exactly crash hot."
She gave me a disbelieving look. I had to admit she had a point. Neither side looked like winning. It would be sheer chance as to which team would be ahead at full time.
"Well, if you're not watching the game and I'm not watching the cheerleaders, why don't we go for a walk so I can watch my favourite cheerleader?"
Sandra gave a laugh and when I moved on she went with me. She gave me a look when I tucked her arm beneath mine but didn't remove it. We strolled along the edge of the crowd and then wandered further afield.
I have no idea what we talked about. We just discussed inconsequentialities, filling in the silence with banal words. Somehow or other we finished up strolling behind the equipment shed.
The shed was off to one side of the ground. Once behind it you were effectively cut off from the crowd. The only way to see behind the shed was to actually walk around it. It was an ideal spot to kiss a girl.
So I kissed her. Fortunately, Sandra kissed me back. It was only a light kiss, after which I drew back and looked at her. She was smiling, so I kissed her again. This kiss was harder, with a touch of passion, and Sandra responded the same way.
We went on like that for a couple of minutes, the kisses getting more intense. Then I must have had a rush of blood to my head. Without fully realising it I unzipped myself, letting my erection free. (The way we were kissing I'd have had to have been a eunuch not to have an erection.)
