The Summons.
Victoria sat uncomfortable on the bleacher. Trying with all her might to look calm, comfortable, even hoping to give off an air of playfulness as her husband chatted away with the other football dads. Fellow members of the booster club sat near bye, but of course they would. Victoria had become one of the most active boosters currently with a child in the program. Jason.
Jason. What sorry excuse for a football player. Was he a good boy. Sure. The best any mother could ask for, but he had no killer instinct. The fact that he played as much as he did was a testament to the amount of money she had poured into the program.
Game after game, Jason would fail his team in new and ever more disastrous ways. Victoria had though that with 10 other players on the field her sons inability to compete against even the least talented of the opposition would be masked by the efforts of his teammates. This was a school that had a long, proud football tradition. Surely their efforts would elevate his play. Surely, the other boys would help Jason become, what? A passable athlete? A somewhat acceptable player? She thought that would happen.
Thought?
PRAYED!
Six games into the season. SIX GAMES! Sure, the team was 6-0. But, unbelievably Jason was not improving. Not improving. He was actually getting worse!
After the last game Victoria received an email from Ted Smith, President of the Booster club. The thought of the contents of that email made it impossible for Victoria to enjoy the evenings game.
So she sat there. The cool fall air, breezy with the threat of the impending winter made her cheeks flush red. As the game wore on she realized that Jason would let her down again. He would put her into a position she dreaded. She, her boy. Her only son. She couldn't even look at her husband as he grinned and laughed with the other dads.
He had done this to her. His seed had given her this sorry excuse for an offspring. He was the father. He should be the threatened, the besieged. Not her! But, no. She was the one who pushed for Jason to play. She was the one who fronted the money. Then in a moment of shear bitchiness, had made it clear that these dollars were not given freely. That her boy would become a man.
Her gamble had backfired.
As the game ended, and the team won their 7th game in a row, Victoria felt no joy. Her son was an utter disaster. She heard the muttering from other parents, other students. They knew. They all knew. Her money had bought for him this opportunity, while more deserving boys sat on the bench. They knew, and some of them hated her for it. Ted Smith hated her.
By the time they got home, and Jason was sound asleep. Victoria stole a moment to check her facebook and email. Surely now would be the best time. No way that the Booster would have already emailed.
To:Vicoria
From: Ted Smith
Subject: Summons
Victoria,
As you are aware, your son is quite terrible. I can no longer cover for his ineptitude. You are required to meet with the fellow members of the Booster club tomorrow. 8Am. Do NOT
Ted Smith
Dread swept over her. Her blood ran like ice in her veins as she read the message over again. But, really, what did she have to fear? What could they possibly do to her? She had donated so much. Sure, they could yell, point out what she already knew. Her son was a bad football player. It couldn't be that bad. Could it?
She woke at 6. Showered. Dressed comfortably, and ate a lite breakfast. Her husband was also dressing. He was leaving town for a week that morning. His plane would be leaving not long after her meeting was to begin. In all honesty she hoped the damned thing would fall right out of the sky killing everyone aboard. Including her 'Mans man' of a husband. Maybe that wasn't fair to the others aboard the airliner, but hey. Make an omelet, break some eggs.
She gave the man a cursory kiss goodbye and headed for her car. She couldn't remember the last time they had made love, or had sex, or fucked. Whatever it should be called. Could not recall when the act had last taken place, but she remembered that she had hated nearly every second of it. She really loathed the man, and she was sure he was fucking a co-worker. She didn't care. She was fucking a buzzing toy, and messing around in chat rooms with strangers. Screw him.
The thought brought a smile to her lips as she drove across town. Almost forgetting the nature of the meeting. She felt herself tingle a bit as she recalled the last such interaction. Skyping with some young thing from... where? Canada? She couldn't recall. All she remembered was his massive cock, and how he stroked it for her as she worked the buzzing vibrator over her clit.
She could feel her juices started to increase as she made the last turn and saw the school athletics office a half mile off in the distance. The site of the building brought her back to reality.
'Just get through this lashing, and then maybe you can find a 'friend' to play with when you get home.' She told herself. Though her chest was getting tight, and her anxiety level was rising quickly.
She parked, grabbed her purse, and walked as confidently as she could manage to the door. She imagined the Boosters, 11 men, faces pressed to the class windows awaiting her arrival. She didn't want them to see her fear.
She entered the building and found quite the opposite. They barely noticed her arrival. The men were all seated in the corner of the conference room, where 3 couches were set up around a flat screen TV. They didn't even turn when she entered the room.
She stood there at a loss. From the other side of the long room it took a second to figure out what they were watching. Game film? But not last nights game. The uniforms of the opposition were not quite right. Wait, now there was a different opposing player on the TV. What the hell?
Realization swept over her just as Ted Smith, turned to look at her. They were watching Jason. A compilation of Jason. His highlights as it were. Her heart began pounding in her chest.
In the second game of the season, Chris Carpenter, the teams star quarterback suffered a horrid knee injury. It had been Jason's fault. He was supposed to block the blitzing safety and had missed his block completely. Allowing the all state safety free access to the Carpenter boy, who was unaware of the danger. The hit had folding the poor things knee over 90 degrees the wrong direction. Ben Carpenter had not been able to look Victoria in the eye since. He was now staring right at her, a strange smile on his face.
"Oh, don't just stand there Victoria! Come in, come it. Have a seat right there in that chair." Ted said, as jovial as she had ever heard him. He motioned to an office chair that was set up by a desk not too far from the couches.
Victoria smiled, nodded to Ben Carpenter who nodded back, and walked briskly to the chair.
"Victoria, or Vicky?" Ted asked
"Victoria to you, Ted." She responded, trying as had as she could muster to sound snotty.
"Fine, Victoria. You understand that your son is an embarrassment to our school?"
"Ted, I har..."
"Shut up, bitch." Ben said, not shouted. Actually he was a little on the quiet side, but his message was clear. Her face reddened.
"You see. Your son has not only been bad. He's been a danger to his fellow teammates. Did you know that? Chris wont be doing any walking for a few months. The way we see it... Its YOUR sons fault. That means its your fault, because without you, your son would NEVER have been allowed on that field."
Victoria just sat there, bolt upright. Looking at Ted, but she was aware that the others were now standing. Looking at her.
"There's a debt owed, Victoria." Ted stated "A Debt owed, and your fat bank account can't pay this one off, or make it go away. Your son may be the vessel for the accumulation of the debt, but make no mistake. You are the debtor. You, Victoria." He emphasized the last bit by pointing a thick finger at the center of her chest.
"I... But, I... I mean. What the hell do you think I have to give." She stammered.
"Oh, nothing that any of us really want." Ben now, from her left side, just far enough behind her that she had to turn not only her head, but swivel the chair a bit to see him.
"Your going strip." Ted began, her head jerked back at the sound as if she had been slapped, then she began to shake her head 'No'. "Don't, Don't you fucking dare presume you have any authority here to deny us anything. You are a fucking bitch of a woman, a worthless mother, and a disgusting human being. It took me three damned weeks to convince the other members that this could work. That this could somehow satisfy our need for atonement."
"Sure." Ted continued. "Sure, to someone who doesn't know you, you may be a 'beautiful' girl. But we know you. We see who you are, and frankly, your repulsive." He shrugged. "Your attitude, the way you carry yourself, the fact that you think your SO much better than the rest of us... It makes you hideous to us. That being said. You must be taught a lesson. You son, he is so awful. But, that is not his fault. Its yours. And your going to pay."
Her breath caught. What was he saying? Was she being blackmailed? No? They don't want anything in return? Hideous?! Fuck him! That asshole couldn't get her on his best day. She was better than he could ever dream to get!
"I see your trying to work this out." Ben again. "Its simple really. You owe me for the pain that my son suffered because your son can't play the game. You owe me, but I don't want your money. You have enough of that, so It wont matter if I take some of that from you. What I want is something that you can't have back. I want your dignity. I will have it."
She realized then that she was sitting, and they were all standing. Not only that but they were surrounding her on all sides. She was very trapped, Very scared, and very aroused. She hated them, but as she became aware of the wet spot in her pants she began to hate herself even more.
