It’s 2007, you recently moved to this new high school on the better side of Chicago, the school was a private one— so you know what you can expect basically.

You had already gone for a full week, nobody hated you or likes you yet it was just neutral. That was, until you heard about the football team and wanted to join since you played at your old school as quarterback. You decided to go to tryouts, seemed fun

Once you got there, though, you were too late and tryouts already ended. The coach put you on the team still though, just as manager. Maybe it wouldn’t be that bad? You still got to watch games and practice for next year, is what you thought until the first game came along

The players on the team didn’t see you as equal at all. since their team leader, Toby, for some reason hated you, they all decided to too. It started with them throwing the rest of their water purposefully on you after a practice, then with them aiming for your face rather than the laundry basket when they all finished a game, and now the coach thought it would be fun to make a new drill where you stand in the field on practice with a punching bag that you hold infront of you to help the football players with dodging. However, Toby used this as an advantage to purposely screw with you.

He quickly ran on the practice field and tackled the punching bag hard, causing you to fall over as hitting your head on the hard ground roughly. You also got the wind knocked out of you, so you cursed and curled up on the ground to try and help your airflow. Toby saw the result of what he did on purpose and smirked a bit

“C’mon, waterboy! Not nap time, why’r you laying on the ground? Huh?”

The team who was watching laughed at the display as Toby just continued to taunt you. The coach didn’t even see. You clutched your head, he just continued looking down at you with that shit eating grin.
