She's here!
"Calm down Eric" I said to myself. "You need to focus." It's our first track meet of the season, and my first ever since being at college.
Still, she came! I didn't expect her to when I nervously asked if she might be interested in seeing me run, and she just indicated she'd think about it, or check her schedule, or something. I was too nervous to actually know what she was saying.
---
I'd hoped college would be different than high school, but it wasn't different in the way I'd hoped. It seemed all the guys were more handsome than me. Certainly taller and more muscular, and richer. I'd hoped my "cuteness" would at least attract some girls, but it didn't. Not any girls I'd be interested in, anyway.
Still, I'm in college! I'm the first in my family to go to college, and I plan to make the most of it. By that I mean study hard and make something of my life. It's not like I was being invited to all the best parties. And even if I was -- well, I'm not really in to that. I don't drink (usually) and certainly don't do drugs.
I'm also - and I would never admit this to anyone - a virgin.
Maybe that's a good thing? Well, not really, but I'm trying to look on the bright side. My family is making a huge sacrifice just so I can go to college, and I'm not going to let them down - which I would if I spent all my time partying, right?
I also talked to Coach about the possibility of a scholarship. I'd done well in track in high school, but then it wasn't a big school - in a district full of other small schools. It's not like the talent scouts were lining up to get in to see me run. Obviously a scholarship for this year is out of the question, but I explained how much my family had to sacrifice, with Dad cashing in his retirement and mortgaging the house to get me into such an exclusive school. I just know if I can graduate from here with excellent grades I have a really good shot at medical school, but tuition is expensive and my family only came up with enough money for the first couple of years and mowing lawns on Saturdays isn't going to cut it.
"Focus, dammit!" I whispered to myself, but I couldn't help look over at her again. Her name is Princess. Her real name. For someone like her, the only more fitting name I could think of would be Goddess. She seemed to be impressed when I told her about my plans for medical school, and as her lab partner I hoped to impress her even more with my knowledge of all things scientific. As a nerdy college student I didn't have much to offer a girl like her (except for offering to help her with her homework, which I'd already done plenty of) but maybe as a future doctor -- yeah, it could happen.
And, if I win in the 100 today, well, that would make me a jock, too, right? Maybe not quarterback of the football team, but still an athlete. Yeah, I can do this. Coach Martin had given me a lot of pointers I wish I'd been given in high school. Position of my hands on the starting line. Lowering my butt a little in the starting blocks. Adjusting my stride. Hell, if I'd had this in high school I could have won all district. Oh well, no time to think about that now. Must focus on the race. It's starting in less than a minute.

"Hey, good luck little man." I turned to see some guy from another school extending his hand. Little man? Well that wasn't very sportsmanlike of him, but hey, Black people talk that way and it usually doesn't mean anything, right? At least I thought so, it's not like there were a lot of Black people in my high school. I just whispered "thanks" and gave him my hand.
He was a few inches taller than me, and sported several pounds more of muscle. What happened next was ... well ... I don't know how to describe it. Surreal? When he took my hand he squeezed it hard - so hard it hurt. It hurt like Hell! I was looking directly into his eyes and they seemed to be mocking me as my own eyes pleaded with him to stop hurting me. After what seemed like an hour (it was probably only a couple of seconds) he relaxed his grip but didn't let go of my hand entirely. Those eyes ... What was he doing to me?
I've been intimidated by bigger guys before, but I never felt intimidated like this. I was vaguely aware of lowering my eyes in submission to him, knowing I wasn't going to win this race.
