Chapter 1
Jason Breaux looked over at Rachael Thibodeaux and sighed. At the front of the classroom, Coach Dumas was droning on and on about some French King and the politics that led to the French Revolution and who cares?
The scrawny eighteen year old tried to pay attention but again felt his eyes being drawn to the attractive blonde cheerleader.
As if she knew she was being watched, Rachael slowly uncrossed her long tanned legs and crossed them again, her short cheerleading skirt riding up to expose more of her thighs.
The bell rang, signaling the end of the school day. Because they were having a pep rally in the gymnasium, their day was shortened by an hour.
"Dude, what the fuck you looking at, huh?" Harrison Smith, Rachael's boyfriend demanded, shoving Jason back into his seat.
"Nothing, I was just..." Jason stammered.
"Calling my girlfriend 'nothing,' huh?" Harrison sneered an shoved Jason again.
"Mr. Smith, there a problem?" Fred Dumas called out.
"No sir, Coach," Harrison smiled.
"Keep your fucking eyes the fuck off my girlfriend, bitch," Harrison demanded and spun around.
Jason blinked back his tears; the last shove had been very hard. He also hated being so scrawny and weak.
Entering the hallway, Jason went to his locker and gathered the books he would need for homework. He heard them before he saw them; high pitched happy squeals.
He turned in time to see Rachael's cute ass swishing past, along with Amy's bone thin buttocks and Dana's full bottom.
"What the fuck I tell you? Huh? Keep them fucking eyes..." Harrison snapped, slamming Jason's locker door on the boy's hand.
"And that's one detention for you, Mr. Smith," Fred's voice boomed out. "Oh, and uh, don't bother dressing out; you're not playing in tonight's game. I do not let bullies play for the Avengers."
"But Coach..." Harrison protested.
"Better have Sister Lucy look at that; might need some ice on it," Coach Dumas murmured, examining Jason's hand.
Jason could not answer, his eyes streaming tears of pain and of frustration.
Sister Lucy held an ice pack to the boy's hand for five minutes, and then dismissed the student to the pep rally.
Entering the gym, Jason made his way to the seniors' bleachers. Several of the males glared at him; Harrison having informed them of his removal from that evening's game. Harrison's version of the story made Jason out to be the entire instigator of the altercation, thus the entire reason the Avengers were doomed to lose against the DeGarde Bulldogs.
"Two bits, four bits, six bits a dollar! All for the Avengers, stand up and holler!" the cheerleaders screamed, extolling the sophomore class to stand up and show their school spirit.
"We lose tonight, I'm kicking your fucking ass, bitch," Irwin Trahan snarled into Jason's ear.
The cheerleaders moved down to the junior section and again repeated their chant.
After the pep rally in which the sophomore class won the Avengers' Banner for most school spirit, Jason endured several shoves and attempted trippings as the students made their way out of the gymnasium.
Jason walked to his car, a 1998 Mustang, artic white with black trim, and left the school grounds. He did not turn toward DeGarde; he was not going to attend that evening's football game.
"Hey Tiger, how was school, huh?" his father smiled when Jason entered the house.
"It was all right," Jason shrugged.
He did not tell his father of Harrison's physical abuse, or of Irwin's threats; it would do no good. His dad would call Brother Dominick, Harrison and Irwin would be called into the office, they would deny it all, then the abuse would triple.
"You're a little early," his mother said from the kitchen.
"Pep rally," Jason explained.
"Oh, you going to the game? You ought to go; how Else that Rachael girl ever going to see you?" his mother smiled.
"Come on, Mom," Jason protested and fled to his room.
Friday night was spent doing homework and then playing on his computer. Jason yawned several times, but forced himself to stay up until eleven o'clock, an hour past his normal bedtime. That was the only thing that differed from the weekday; he stayed up an extra hour. In the morning, he would sleep an extra hour to make up for the late evening.
At eleven o'clock, he knelt down by his bed, said his prayers, and then scrambled into his bed.
"God, I really whish there was some way to just..." Jason mumbled.
"There is," a soft female voice caressed his ear.
Jason felt soft lips touch his, soft hands caressing his face. He smiled as the soft hands rubbed up and down his scrawny arms then his chest.
"There is a way, dear sweet Jason," the female's voice whispered to the eighteen year old boy.
The soft lips kissed him again.
"The thing you're most afraid of is the only thing you must do," she continued.
"You can do it; I know you can," she said and kissed him again.
Jason woke up the next morning and remembered the strange dream. He looked around, but of course, the bedroom had no females there.
"So what you doing to day, Tiger?" his dad asked as he prepared to go to St. Elizabeth's Trauma Center for his day's work as an X-Ray Technician.
"I don't know," Jason mumbled.
"Got a lawnmower in the garage; I bet it'll fit your hands just right," his dad said, playfully smacking his son on the butt as he left the house.
"Ha ha, Dad," Jason groused.
"He's right; the grass is getting a little long there," his mother said as she placed a plate of waffles on the table for him.
Jason's father, Chuck Breaux, was a burly man but was fairly short at only five feet, two inches tall. Jason's mother, Patricia Sampier Breaux was a slight figure of a woman, also standing at only five feet, two inches.
At five feet, four inches, Jason was taller than his mother and father, but still much shorter than Harrison Smith and the other football players of St. Thomas Aquinas.
"Oh, the radio said y'all lost last night, seventeen to three," his mother said. "Tough break, kiddo."
Jason almost dropped the glass of milk.
Chapter 2
"God, I just wish..." Jason mumbled, nearly in tears as he lay down in his bed that Sunday evening.
He didn't know where or when, but he knew Irwin Trahan would be waiting for him, to deliver that ass kicking he promised.
"There is," the soft female voice assured him.
"Mm," Jason murmured as the girl kissed him softly.
"There is; you just have to do the one thing that has you gripped by fear," the voice said and again, soft lips touched his.
A soft tongue caressed his lips and he opened his mouth in a quiet moan.
