I grabbed my purse, gym bag and phone before slamming the car door. I was late as-usual, but getting better at being on-time. I threw my bag over my shoulder as I walked fast toward the locker room. The students were lining up in the courtyard on their numbers as I headed for the door. I was fighting reverse traffic as several boys pushed past me to get out while I was trying to get in. SMACK. I heard it long before I felt the sting and rush of warmth to my backside. Wheeling around in shock I saw the culprit and his crew jog away laughing. Hector, that little bastard.
He wasn't very little, probably because he had been held back a grade. It wasn't even worth reporting this incident, since it wasn't the first and he had no fear at all of suspension or expulsion. He was a senior, 18 years old, a couple months out from graduating.
It certainly didn't help that I was late to my job as a high school athletics assistant. I had only been working here a couple of months and I do like some of the amenities. I get to wear yoga pants and tank tops to work and they didn't drug test me, so I wasn't trying to rock the boat.
I got to the althetics office and made sure it was empty before I lifted the seam on my pants to see the mark on my backside. A bright red handprint was visible on my milky white skin, glowing as brightly as the tattoo on my lower back. The hand print was warm and I rubbed it to get it to go away, but eventually gave up on it.
I tossed my bag and purse in the locker, slipped my phone into the elastic strap of my sports bra and adjusted the girls before heading back outside. The students were already split up into their respective activities and I assumed my spot by the volleyball court with my whistle and visor. Looking across the way toward the benches, Hector and his crew were being sneaky about something. A few minutes later I saw a puff of smoke billow up from the group and it became pretty clear what they were doing.
Now I'm not one to let some ugly, Mexican punk ass kid get under my skin, but he was a bully and I had not had many decent interactions with him. I've only been working here a couple of months but I've already caught him beating up other kids and selling weed. Oh, not to mention the one time I caught him deflowering one of his younger classmates in the back of his car. Ohh he was livid with me for breaking up that one.
Worst of all, he bullies my son which I do not tolerate. A week after starting this job, I saw him picking on my Nicholas and I moved quickly to intervene. When he and his group of idiots saw me coming, they threw Nicholas to the ground and kicked him. I moved faster to protect my baby, but Hector had turned his attention to me. His buddies backed off, but he stepped up right in my face and pushed me, his hands landing right on my breasts. Whoa! She's got some big tits! I remember him saying. I pushed back but he was a pretty solid guy so he didn't give up any space.
He got right in my face and I could feel the heat of his breath as he shouted "whatcha gonna do about it?" His hands jumped to my waist and he pulled my body against his. My hands pushed against his chest but he was stronger by far. I was jerked into his arms and his hand held my neck. "This your mom Nick? She thick bro." The hand on my back slid down and he grabbed a handful of my ass then gave it a slap.
That was too much for me, I shoved him off of me and Nicholas was on his feet pushing him, but Hector shoved him again sending him stumbling backwards. It all happened in an instant, but we both moved towards the exit. "Hahahaha did you see that? Did you see that ass jiggle!" So here we are. Hector and his friends smoking reefer at school in front of me, and me being too much of a pussy to tell anyone that he had sexually assaulted me in front of my son.
That night I did what any mother would. I called his father. He had a heavy accent but he was very sorry about Hector's behavior and was nice enough to meet up and discuss what had happened. I gave him my address so that he could come by at 8:00 pm. I left Nicholas at my parents house in town because I thought it would be awkward if he heard me talking to Hector's father.
I showered, took a few hits of weed from my piece while I did my makeup and put my hair in a bun. I wanted to be taken seriously so I put on a dress and my pearl necklace and earrings. I checked myself in the mirror as I smoothed my dress and adjusted my breasts. After I had Nicholas my tits never shrank and I was thankful that they hadn't started to sag yet.
The loud knock at my door came about 20 minutes earlier than I had planned. I opened the door and to my surprise Hector was standing there with a bottle of wine. "My Dad said you called and told me to come over and apologize" he said. "Can I come in?" I certainly wasn't expecting Hector and seeing him on my doorstep left me speechless. He took me by the elbow and moved me into the doorway.
As he turned to close the front door I got a good look at him. Not to be rude here but he was not at all attractive. He was shorter than me, maybe 5'4 or 5'5 and stocky. His arms were large but he had a little paunch for a belly and was slightly cross eyed.
I still hadn't said anything when he led me to the living room. "Come on come on sit down, I really want to apologize for the way I behaved. Y'know how it is, gotta play tough in front of the crew. But they aren't here now so don't worry."
He was kind of charming laying the honey on thick. "Where are your cups?"
"You're only 18 you can't drink." I said regaining my footing.
"Oh I've been drinking for awhile, my dad doesn't care." He went into the kitchen and opened the bottle of wine. I sat down on the couch as I heard him fill up both cups. He walked out and handed me a cup as he took a seat.
"It smells dank as fuck in here I didn't know you smoke." I detested the way he spread his legs as he sunk into the couch, taking a large gulp of his drink. "You care if I light up?"
"Why are you here? I specifically asked to speak to your father."
"Yeah that was a dick move, you shouldn't have done that. I'm so close to getting expelled. So I told him I'd come apologize in person and take care of it. I'm sorry alright? I shouldnta been such an asshole."
I took a sip of my wine to be polite. "You really shouldn't have. And you shouldn't be bullying my son either."
"Hey he's gotta learn to stand up for himself. Plus he had it coming. He's been talking shit ever since he heard that I had sex with Roxanne. I guess he had a thing for her or something."
I thought back to him rushing to pull up his pants in the back of his car a few weeks ago when I was pulling lot duty. "Anyway he and I are cool now. He promised not to talk shit. Probably because I kicked his ass... hahaha but we won't have any more problems."
He took another pull from his cup, his gaze never drifting from mine. "To new beginnings" he said, raising his cup. I instinctively raised mine to his and clinked before taking a longer sip.
"So what's your deal, you live here alone?"
