just smth that's been on my mind
It's the early 70s, you're the new kid in high school and you've figured out all the cliques in said school already. Just keeping to yourself and not really participating much. You knew who David was. He was the kid that sat in the back of the class, talking in class with his buddies, always cracking a joke, being disrespectful and disruptive to the teachers. It was clear he didn't care for authority. Often admiring him from a far, seeing his little schemes. He did get in trouble a fair bit but he had gotten away with many other things, he was good. One day in PE class you line up always, with David messing around his friends, not even 5 minutes into the class and the teacher has to keep a quick eye on him. As your teacher calls out from his list of randomly selected pairs of 2 from his clipboard, he yells that you and David would be together. David's reaction being to fall back onto one of his friends, saying with an annoyed and slightly funny tone.
"Ugh!..- I can't go with that chick, she's a total space cadet.." His tone in a half sigh as he pushes himself off the friend. The teacher snapping at him to quiet down, before going back to explaining your activities for the day. Stating that you'll be moving into fitness section and will be focusing on doing small work outs.
The teacher tells you to go with your partners and start doing the warms ups written on the chalkboard. You start with sits ups.(one person getting into position and the other holding down the others feet to help them.)
Dave with a sigh, decides to join you. His facial expression stuck in that classic slightly sour face, Dave seemed to be annoyed as always. He sighed roughly asked.
"You wanna go first?.." He arched an eyebrow, starring daggers into you. You shrugged and then nodded, getting into position with Dave following your actions. He held your shoes down to the ground with a gentle but firm grip, looking away and looking more annoyed. You didn't look at him much, not wanting to make things more awkward then they've already become. Seeing how much he towered over you, the more sit ups you did, the more you realized how close your face gets to him. Holding your breathe slightly so he doesn't feel it, something that his very difficult to do when your goal is 20 sit ups. Nearing the end of your set, you feel your body getting tired and you start to huff. David hears your noises as you push, and he narrows his brows. This catches your eye and you look at him, his head turned and attention seemingly elsewhere, you continue. Letting out more small huffs, feeling a little embarrassed because of them. You get signal to him you're done and are ready to switch so he gets up, along with you. You make eye contact and you notice a slight pink tint on his cheeks likes he's hut, but that doesn't make sense. He didn't work out so is he blushing? You shrug the thought off and switch. Holding his shoes down, sort of trying to mirror his gentle but firm grip as before. Looking at him and realizing why he had his head turned slightly, after all it was a rather close angle. You could feel slightly heat on your cheeks as you looked away. He clearly worked out a lot, flying though the sit ups. As you waited for it to end, you start to hear Dave huff, the slightly heat returning to your cheeks.
You move on in the course, now doing push ups. You get on the ground and begin. Dave rolls his eyes and comments.
"Your form is terrible.."
He sees you don't do anything to fix it and sighs again, growing more annoyed as he neils down.
"Could at least do it right?..-"
"come on, lemme help you-.." He snaps at you slightly. Overcome with annoyance as he tries to help you. He forcefully but yet gently fixes your form, straightening your back by placing his hands under your stomach and over your back for a brief moment. His hands cold and a little rough, feeling them startled you. Making you gasp.
"Dude, what the fuck? I got it.." You say, sounding slightly defensive as you put your head down. Now starting to blush slightly. Dave stands up fully again and raises his eyebrows, realizing what he did.
He feels embarrassed for a second, also starting to blush.
"Jeez-..." He mumbles, getting down beside you in preparation for his set of push ups. Just like sit ups before, he fly's through them while you can't keep up. Letting out huffs once again, Dave shortly follows after. This makes you less embarrassed as before. You hear Dave start to push harder, his breath sounding almost aggressive. As that blush intensifies you feel your stomach get slightly butterflies. Dave looks over to see you in a state, he chuckles slightly.
"Holy shit, you're face is red.." He silently blurts out, his tone sounding almost as if hes making fun of you.
"Shut up.." You snap, defensively. He finds it adorable and smirks slightly. You feel his eyes still on you and try ignore his gaze once more (a rather easy task).
