Chapter 7
It was later that day and Jake avoided Rocky like the plague. It also wasn’t long before most of the kids around campus talked about Rocky and his new transformation.
It was now time for the practice game Coach Kennedy set up to prepare the Panthers for the State Championship game.
The Panthers were at one of the field warming up and the Bisbee Cougars were at the other end of the field warming up. Rocky wasn’t on the field at this time.
There were about 5,000 people in the stands to watch this game and most were students. Amongst the spectators were Ernie, Mitch, Sal and Johnny.
“Okay Ernie, this better not be a fucking joke,” Sal said while he squeezed Ernie’s kneecap.
Ernie cringed in pain. “Don’t worry,” he replied in pain but knew his plan was working.
On the field, the Cougars and Panthers stilled warmed up.
“Where the hell is Rocky?” Red asked Jake while they looked around the field.
Coach Kennedy walked out onto sidelines and saw his players.
Mindy and the cheerleaders walked out to the sidelines to practice their new cheers for the championship game.
“Welcome to the practice game between the Panthers and the Bisbee Cougars. As soon as our superstar Rocky Malone gets on the field, we can do the coin toss and get started,” the announcer said from the loud speakers.
The referees walked the center of the field.
The Panthers and Cougars walked out to the center of the field.
Then the crowd cheered the second they saw Rocky run out onto the field from the locker room. The marching band started playing the Bellwood theme song.
“Well, with a roar like that can only mean one thing. And that being our superstar Rocky Malone has entered the field,” the announcer said from the loud speakers.
Rocky sashayed across the field with his bleached blonde hair; his jersey was tied in a knot to his left side that also left his mid-drift exposed. He also wore a pink scarf tied around his neck and had those pink shoes.
The rest of the Panther team saw Rocky and they all questioned his appearance.
Coach Kennedy saw Rocky and looked confused while he watched him sashay across the field. He removed his hat and scratched his bald head. “What the hell is wrong with him?” he said.
Mindy and the cheerleaders looked confused while they watched Rocky sashay across the field.
The whole stadium saw Rocky and they all stared with a questioning look while he sashayed across the field.
Stefon stood with a tray full of bottled water and he stared in disbelief at Rocky.
The marching band stopped playing their theme song.
“I don’t fucking believe it,” Red said in disbelief.
“We’re in deep shit,” Red said while Rocky ran onto the field.
“Please don’t feel up my crotch!” Jake quietly prayed.
Two of the Cougar players stared at Rocky in disbelief.
“What the fuck is that?” the one player asked the other.
“I think it's their superstar Rocky Malone,” the other player replied.
“No way!” a third player joined in on their conservation.
You could hear a pin drop while the whole stadium stared in shock at Rocky.
The announcer's mouth dropped to the floor, and he was speechless. “Ha, We, Ha, We see that Rocky Malone is extremely color coordinated today,” he said into the microphone. He covered his microphone, and leaned over to the guy to his right. “Is that Rocky Malone or one of the Powder Puff girls?”
The guy to his right was speechless, and shook his head, and shrugged his shoulders indicating he didn’t have a clue.
The referee’s stood in the center of the field with the Panthers and Cougars. They all watched while Rocky sashayed over to them.
Rocky stood by his teammates. “Hi girlfriends. Are we ready to rumble?” Rocky asked him with a softer, sweeter and more feminine voice and placed his hands on his hips.
They stared at Rocky for a few seconds.
“Okay. Let get this coin toss out of the way. Cougars call it,” the lead referee said.
“Heads,” the Cougar quarterback called.
Rocky giggled like a girl over hearing that word.
The lead referee flicked the coin in the air, and it landed on the ground. “Tails it is. Panthers receive the ball.”
“Tails! Yummy!” he said with a horny grin that made all of his teammates extremely nervous.
One of the referees bent down and picked up the coin.
Rocky saw this as an opportunity and he lightly ran his fingertips of his one hand up the crack of the referee’s ass.
The referee’s eyes widened in shock over Rocky's fingertips groping his ass and he jumped away a couple of feet.
Both the Cougars and Panthers placed their helmets on their heads.
That referee kept a safe distance and watchful eyes on Rocky.
The Cougar players ran down to the other goal line.
The Panthers ran down to the other goal line.
Rocky ran off to the sidelines where the rest of the Panthers and Coach Kennedy stared in shock.
The Cougars kicked the ball to the Panthers and they caught it and got tackled at the 30-yard line.
The fans in the stadium pointed and laughed at the sight of Rocky who ran onto the field with his limped hands around shoulder height.
All the cheerleaders cheered except for Mindy who stood comatose with her mouth and eyes widened in shock at the sight of Rocky.
The Panthers and Cougars both got in their huddles.
“Okay girlfriends. Are we ready to rumble?” Rocky told his teammates.
The Panthers looked at each other in disbelief.
“I guess,” one of the teammates replied.
“Good, now, let's have Red run over there,” Rocky said while he pointed into one direction. “And then I’ll throw the ball to him,” Rocky added.
Rocky stepped out the huddle.
The rest of the Panthers stayed there looking baffled at each other.
“What kind of play was that?” one of the guys asked the other players.
They all shrugged their shoulders.
“Come on darlings!” Red said while he mimicked Rocky.
“Does someone want to be the center?” Jake said to his teammates with pleading eyes.
“No fucking way!” another one of the teammates replied.
They left the huddle, and lined up on the 30-yard line.
Jake got in position to hike the ball, and he cringed in anticipation of another crotch rub.
Rocky got in position behind Jake. “Do me sixty-nine. Do me sixty-nine,” Rocky called out so sweet.
Some of the Cougars looked at each other and snickered.
“Hike,” Rocky called out.
Rocky received the ball, and pranced backward looking for Red.
Two Cougars charged through the line at Rocky.
Rocky’s eyes widened when he saw the Cougars. “Ahhh! Please don't hurt me!” he screamed out in a high-pitched tone.
Rocky ran away from the charging Cougars.
He ran to his right. He ran to his left. He ran in circles screaming like a girl. “You big brutes!” he cried out in fear while he zigzagged on the field.
Rocky stopped and threw the ball away with a wimpy throw into the air.
A Cougar player quickly snatched the ball out of the air and ran to the goal line without a Panther on his tail.
“Well, that was unbelievable. It seems that our star quarterback has easily provided the Cougars with their first touchdown,” the announcer said from the loudspeakers.
On the sideline, Coach Kennedy was fuming while he paced. He threw his hat off his head, and stomped on it. He stormed over and kicked the water cooler. It slammed against the bench making the Panther players scatter for cover.
Stefon dodged the cooler and glanced over and stared in disbelief at Rocky.
In the stadium seats, Ernie, and Sal high-fived each other over what they just witnessed.
The rest of the fans booed the Panthers.
The rest of the game was pathetic for the Panthers.
Jake hiked the ball to Rocky. The Cougars charged him, he ran all the way from the 40-yard line back to the four-yard line screaming like a girl. They tackled him and he screamed all the way down to the ground.
Later the scoreboard showed “Panthers 0” and “Cougars 21.”
The Panthers were in a huddle where a cockroach crawled on the ground. Rocky saw the cockroach, he ran out of the huddle screaming and pointed back at the insect. “A cockroach! There's a cockroach!”
The Cougars all laughed.
Later the scoreboard showed “Panthers 0 and “Cougars 42.”
Rocky had the ball, and around in circles screaming like a girl while the Cougars were hot on his heals to tackle him. “You brutes!” he screamed out while they slammed him hard to the ground.
“And there you have it. The final score is Panthers zero and the Cougars fifty-six. Our new quarterback queen has displayed a new playing technique for the Panthers. Or maybe this could be some kind of strategic plan from Coach Kennedy to psyche out the Bears. We'll see you at the much anticipated State Championship game,” the announcer said from the loud speakers.
In the announcer’s booth, the announcer turned off his microphone, and turned to the other individuals in the booth. “I sure hope it is some kind of strategic plan!” he told the reporters and other individuals in the booth.
Everybody in the booth shrugged their shoulders indicating they didn’t have a clue, as to the Coach’s plan.
On the sidelines, Coach Kennedy picked up his smashed hat off the ground. He looked at the announcer’s booth and that got him thinking.
He stormed off toward the entrance to his office.
The Panthers and Cougars each headed off to the entrances to their locker rooms.
In the stadium seats, Ernie, Mitch, Sal and Johnny were the only fans that remained in their seats while all the disappointed fans walked down the steps to the exits.
“Ernie my man, I don't know how you pulled this off, but you're a genius. You have a deal,” Sal said while he stuck out his hand for a handshake for the first time with Ernie.
Ernie, Mitch, Sal and Johnny got up and walked down the steps. Ernie was happy with joy inside knowing he would finally be free and clear of this threat with Sal.
The stands were now empty.
In fact, the only person left on the field was Mindy who still stood there in that same motionless comatose stare.
Jack Manson, a reporter for the Bellwood Times who had his note pad ready for a scoop, stopped Coach Kennedy outside the entrance to his office. “Coach, what can you tell me about today’s performance by the Panthers?” Jack asked with his pen ready to jot down notes.
Coach Kennedy hesitated while he thought about how he could talk out of this embarrassing moment. “Well, the guys just wanted to relieve some stress before the big state championship game. So they decided to have some fun. That’s all,” Coach Kennedy replied with a smile but deep inside he was scared about losing the big game.
“Thank you Coach,” Jack replied while he jotted down some notes.
Coach Kennedy went inside his office while Jack walked away.
In the locker room, the Panthers sat by their lockers with sad drawn faces and some were stunned over Rocky’s behavior.
“We did our best,” Rocky said while he undressed.
The Panthers all looked at themselves in disbelief over Rocky’s comment. Last year when they lost a game, Rocky chewed out their asses before Coach Kennedy came in the locker room and also chewed out their asses.
Coach Kennedy stormed into the locker room and looked pissed. He walked over then stared at the Panthers who were undressing for the showers. He kicked over a table where helmets flew all around the room missing some of the players by inches.
He kicked the small trash can it he flew at Rocky.
“Ahhhh!” Rocky screamed like a girl when he dodged the can and it ricocheted off his locker.
Coach Kennedy’s lips trembled since he was so furious. “What the fuck was that out there?” he yelled at the players.
Coach kicked another water cooler sending it across the room.
Rocky cried like a baby.
The Panthers immediately moved away from Rocky like he has some type of contagious disease.
Coach Kennedy saw Rocky crying and looked at Jake and Red. “In my office now!” he yelled at them.
Coach stormed off to his office and kicked anything that was in his path.
Inside his office, Coach Kennedy waited behind his desk and fumed.
Jake and Red walked through the door.
“Yes Coach?” Jake replied then closed the door behind him and feared another ass chewing.
They walked over and stood in front of the Coach's desk scared.
“I want you guys to find out what the hell is going on with Rocky. We cannot have him acting like this at the Championship game. He'll fuck it up for the whole team. So you better get him back to normal or it's your asses,” Coach Kennedy told them in a quiet but threatening tone.
Jake and Red knew that Rocky somehow became gay but knew better than to tell Coach Kennedy that news.
“Yes sir,” Jake and Red replied in unison.
They walked out of his office.
“Let’s meet at Sam’s tonight and try to figure out what the hell we can do about Rocky,” Jake said while they walked back into the locker room.
They saw the Panthers sat by their lockers with their jersey pants still on. They then noticed Rocky wasn’t at his locker.
“Where’s Rocky?” Red asked.
“He’s taking a shower so we decided to wait until he finished,” Kenny replied.
They heard the shower water running.
“Might be a good idea,” Jake said while he walked to his locker.
Red nodded in agreement while he walked to his locker.
