Another Step

Sophomore year. For one reason or another I felt as if I was on top of the world. I was still dating Stefanie and I became recognized around school as a star athlete. Sadly, this wasn't saying much due to the fact that my high school was lacking in dedicates athletes.

I was enjoying my classes. Here and there I was lucky enough to come across talented teachers who's names I didn't put out of my mind as soon as a semester ended. Halfway through the football season I was brought up from the JV team to play middle linebacker on the varsity team. Football season ended without much success. We had plenty of athletic talent but completely lacked in heart, apart from a few select players who shared my determination.

My body continued to change and sculpt to the likeness of an ancient Greek statue. I was comfortable.
My comfort would not last.
