Study Hall

The next few classes went by without any issues. History class with Mr. Winters was easy enough he was a slightly plump middle aged man who was very fatherly and calm who was visibly happy for his students successes and encouraging for their failures. Cole found it very much a relief after the frustration and embarrassment of Sherman's math class. Cole thought all class about Allie's strange reaction to the spanking and the fact he even stayed after class to talk to Ms. Sherman. Cole never thought of his best friend as one of those boys with Mommy issues who gravitate to older women with power like that. After that he had a free period which he went to the library to study he was starting AP Biology today and he wanted to get some extra studying in. Hard science classes like that were notoriously all female and if he had any teachers like Sherman who thought men had no business in them. He would have to work twice or three times as hard as his female classmates.

Cole found a table in back of the library and took out his biology text book and began reading. A few minutes into reading, he heard a menacing "What do you think your doing nerd."

Cole looked up to see Nicki and a couple of other cheerleaders standing over him. "Nick I'm not in the mood I've got a lot to studying to do."

"Please why are you wasting your time or that's right cause you're a skinny nerd. And don't think I didn't see you trying to make a move on my woman. Just because we are on a break doesn't mean some little tramp can move in and flash his legs and butt and steal her from me. Stay in your lane nerd. D'Shawna is mine and when she comes to her senses she will realize it. I am the whole package I'm hot, rich, and the most popular boy in school. You are some charity case who dress up ok one day and now thinks he can go after the big fish." Nick starting raising his voice through the whole speech, so he was almost screaming at the end. Mr. Androssi the librarian came over to see what the commotion was about. He was a short olive complexioned man in his mid twenties in a tight dress blouse and pencil skirt and heels. He looked almost the stereotypical librarian and Cole had heard many of the girls in his class say some downright filthy things they would do to Mr Androssi if they had the chance to. Some of the other Teachers also gave him some less then professional looks as well. "Boys stop it now." Mr Androssi hissed. "Mr. Traunt why don't you and your friends separate from Mr. Boothe before I have to write all of you up."

Nicki started to say something before one of the other Cheerleaders grabbed him and said "Come on Nic he isn't worth it you can't get a demerit on the first day."

"Fine " Nicki said composing himself "Stay in your lane nerd. Don't aim for the sun or you will crash to the earth." Then he and his group left the library.

"Every thing ok?" Mr. Androssi gave Cole a comforting hand on the shoulder.

"No. This wasn't how my senior year was supposed to start." Cole said with tears forming in his eyes. "My sister is pissed at me because her best friend finally noticed me as a boy. Her sicko ex boyfriend saw us together and is going to make my life miserable with his clique of popular boys. On top of that I have a super hard school schedule full of teachers who think a boy has no place in the science fields so I need to work even harder to prove I myself and try to earn a scholastic scholarship to go to collage to meet even more sexism."

"I know this age can be confusing for a young man. It wasn't long ago I was in your position but there are grants for boys looking to study science fields and you can look at some historically all boys schools I myself went to Holyoke and had a great education."

"No med school is going to look at a boy from an all boy school I need to prove myself in a top school."

Mr Androssi chuckled. "I think you will find many places more liberal then a small town like this. But it still won't be easy if you are thinking premed it will be a lot of work but I believe in you." Th bell rang and Cole gathered his things Mr.Androssi gave him a small hug and a tissue to wipe his eyes. "You got this Cole you are stronger then you think"
