"What's up, first baseman?" the mysterious text buzzed onto my phone, obviously referring to my prominent role on one of the school's teams. I was chillaxing in the bleachers with a few buddies when it happened.
"Nada," I texted. "Who is this?"
"Just some female admirers," came the response, which immediately made me feel good, but then came "You're a dirty boy with an embarrassing secret, aren't you, first baseman? Do Mike, Kyle and Josh know?"
Whoever this was clearly knew me well cause she (or they) named my friends sitting with me by name. I immediately scanned the crowd but couldn't identify anyone looking at me. And I wasn't sure what embarrassing secret she was referring to, since I was confident no one knew about my slavery at home.
"I'm not embarrassed to say I shower every morning," I texted back calmly, calling her bluff.
"Lol. You're so cute. You have female admirers here, but you're not very nice to us."
"How so?"
"You don't give us the respect we deserve just because you're an athlete, but you feel badly about that, don't you, first baseman? You're going to change your behavior starting right now."
"What's up?" Kyle said to me, apparently noticing my intense expression and distraction from the game.
"Oh, uh, nothing. Looks like the Steelers are crashing and burning. That's it. Haha."
I didn't like the tone of these texts one bit, particularly after my sisters and mother taught me how strategic females can be. "What do you expect me to do?" I texted back, afraid to ask what she knew about me.
"First. Lift up your shirt and show us your pecs and abs. Hold it up so we get a good look."
WTF? My heart began pounding. "And if I don't?" I replied.
"Then your secret goes on the school's Instagram page right now."
I had no way of knowing what she had on me, and I was terrified to find out. "Damn, it's kinda hot," I said stupidly to Mike, since I t wasn't hot at all. I lifted my shirt up and wiped my brow over and over, making sure the texter got a good long view.
"Are you having a hot flash dude?" he laughed.
"Yea, from the cheerleaders," I said.
My phone buzzed with a text. "Good boy," it said along with a photo of me holding up my shirt. "You like exposing yourself, don't you?"
"Not particularly," I said, telling the truth. "Who the fuck is this?" I was now angry and afraid.
"You will call me Goddess, because that's what I am to you. As long as you're obedient, I'll protect you. I won't let anything threaten a future athletic scholarship for my property. I want to own you when you're a professional baseball player."
I started to sweat and feel panicked. Whoever the fuck this goddess bitch was, she was hitting on my biggest vulnerability and terrifying the fuck out of me.
"K, Goddess," I texted back meekly. I tried to memorize every face in the crowd as a suspect, but there were just too many. I didn't get another text for the rest of the day, but my stomach remained queasy.
I had started to hope the texter had gone away permanently when the a text arrived Saturday afternoon. It was annoyingly chipper. "Hi first baseman!"
My heart sunk. "What's up, Goddess?" I responded.
"You're invited to a party tonight at 9:00 pm. There will be a lot of people there you know who will be happy to see you. Wear all your baseball gear and have fun." It gave me an address across town.
"Will you be there?" I asked.
"Maybe. :)"
I didn't like the sound of this, but I was eager to see who was texting me and decided to go.
When I arrived at the house, I could see lights on inside and hear music and voices. There was clearly a party taking place which made me feel better. In fact, I was starting to think it was a surprise party in my honor hosted by the guys on the baseball team who were just fucking with me through the anonymous texts.
I rang the bell, the door opened, and I stepped inside. To my shock, the house was filled with all women - every one of my female teachers from my high school! For a moment, they all looked at me with the same shock and then burst into laughter and applause as though they had just gotten the answer to a question that had been on their minds. Some even nodded to each other appearing to say, "See, I told you it was him."
Immediately, Mrs. Cooper, my math teacher, pulled me into the crowded, noisy and extremely welcoming room by my arm. "My, my," she said with a mischievous grin, looking me up and down and tugging on the brim of my ball cap. "This is quite a surprise, Ben, you dirty little boy. You dressed perfectly for the occasion. Did you bring your bat and balls? Hahaha!"
Her facial expression and joke creeped me out, but before I could respond, she put a plastic cup to my lips and told me to have a drink. I politely gulped it down - assuming it was soda, and I was thirsty as hell - and then nearly coughed it up after six ounces of straight vodka burned my throat. WTF was that?!
As I was being pulled farther into the room by smiling and happy women I knew all too well, throbbing disco-type music fired up and I realized what was happening - THEY THINK I'M THEIR FUCKING STRIPPER!! I tried my best to politely decline their touchy advances to dance, particularly since many of them were still in control of my grades, but they didn't seem to hear or believe me. I wanted to say, "you know I'm just 18 and your student, right?"
Suddenly, I felt two hands grab my jersey from behind and pull it over my head in one quick motion as I was trying delicately to stop Ms. Adams, the librarian, from repeatedly squeezing my crotch. Once I was shirtless, a cheer went up from the crowd as though the party had officially started, and the women became even more aggressive. The room smelled like pussy in heat.
Hands disconnected from smiling faces seemed to come out of nowhere from all around to feel up my back and abs and twist my nipples. "Ouch! Stop..please," I pleaded politely and respectfully, but they seemed to think it was all part of the act. And to make matters worse, the vodka was kicking in hard and making me weak, my vision blurry, and my words slurred.
"I've ALWAYS wanted to see YOU naked!" my English teacher cooed. "You have the hottest butt of any boy in the class. I always take a good long look at it when I call you to the blackboard." She then reached around and gave my ass a hard squeeze.
"Are you going to earn some extra credit?" my science teacher asked as she drunkenly unsnapped the front of my baseball pants while I tried to fend her off. "What are you hiding in here, Benny? Doesn't your little penis want to come out and play?"
