So Soft

A funny little thing from High School today that shows you what type of person I am physically. I used to be on the Basketball team at my High School. I was one of those nerdy players that sat on the bench and never got a chance to play unless we were up like 30 something points in the second half. There were several of us 5th-stringers and the entire Gymnasium would erupt in cheers whenever one of us losers scored. It always made me feel good. And classmates would actually watch such games, instead of my stupid Academic Bowl games that nobody ever attended.

In any case, I was in better shape at that time than any other in my life, since even though I was a shitty player I worked really hard in practice. Despite the fact that I was thin, I was still flabby. One day when we were playing a game, Darron sat down next to me and brushed up against my side. He said in a very alluring voice, “Ooh, caco, you’re so soft. Like a little teddy bear.” I got quite disgruntled by this and wondered why despite my frequent exercise, I never developed any muscle tone. I guess because I only did cardiovascular exercise and never lifted any weights. Whatever the reason, I felt really pathetic and weak when he said that.
