Heather arrived at cheerleading practice and began to get changed. As she was standing there in her underwear she saw Danni come in. Danni saw her and looked away, obviously guilty about what had happened last night. Heather wanted to be mad with her, but the experience had been so wonderful that she couldn’t bring herself to. She walked over to Danni who took up a defensive posture as if waiting for the tirade that she knew was coming and she thought she deserved.
“About last night…” said Heather
“I’m sorry,” said Danni “The guys used the video to make me have sex with them, and while I enjoyed it while it was happening, I felt sick afterwards when I realized what I had done. I just needed a little girl-love to make me feel, I don’t know, like me again. I know you probably hate me for making you do that stuff …”
“That’s just the thing, Danni.” said Heather putting her hand on her friends shoulder, an action which made Danni flinch away as if she’d been hit “I don’t hate you. I won’t condone what how you did it, but you showed me something about myself that I never knew. Unlike you and the guys, the memory of last night doesn’t fill me with revulsion.”
Danni looked shocked, but quickly recovered. “So are you thinking of changing teams?”
“Not entirely” said Heather “But maybe pitching for both”
Heather went back to her locker and, as she continued to change, began to think. While last night had gone well she was still under the videos influence and the next time it could be very bad (especially if Danni’s experience was anything to go on).
The practice went well and Heather did all the routines that were asked of her, even after spraining an ankle. Eventually Danni had to convince the Head Cheerleader to give Heather a break, and order her to take a rest.
Back in the locker room the conversation was all about the ‘creep’. A fugly guy with really bad skin and glasses who always turned up to watch them practice and probably (the girls thought) whacked off in the toilets afterwards (“if he wasn’t doing it while he watched us. Ewww!”) Heather actually felt bad for the guy. He obviously couldn’t get anyone to go out with him.
Heather was hobbling out to the car, wondering if she was in any state to drive when she heard a voice behind her.
“Wait” it said.
Heather saw the ‘creep’ walk up behind her.
“Your hurt.” Said the ‘creep’ “Let me help you to the car and then drive you somewhere.”
“O.k.” said Heather as the video’s power kicked in. *He’s not a creep* she thought *He just wants to help me*
The ‘creep’ put his arm over her shoulder and helped take the weight off her sprain. They went to her car and got in, her in the passenger seat and him in the drivers.
“I’m Keith, by the way” said the ‘creep’.
“Heather”
“So where to?” asked Keith.
“I was supposed to do teaching rounds.” Said Heather.
“You can’t look after kids with that sprain” said Keith starting up the car and driving off “Call in sick and I’ll take you home”
“O.k.” said Heather, realizing Keith was right.
As they drove off Heather didn’t notice Danni trying to get her attention and stop her. |
