Ch.3 Big beautiful beast.

Jackson and I walked into the locker room. Lydia and Allison went to the ground. I entered the locker room and I saw the smelly dude and Stiles were there as well. Someone tapped on my shoulder, I turned to see who it was and it turned out to be the coach.

He smiled and handed me some gear and said "Welcome to the team bigfoot." I took a few deep breaths and started to change. I was fairly tall at 6'2". I didn't have well-defined muscles but I had some bulk to me. As I was changing I saw Jackson talking to the coach. They were in his room behind doors and I could still hear them.

"Coach, are you really going to let that neanderthal play, I bet he doesn't even know how to hold the stick."

"I don't give a rat's ass if he is a yeti, that guy is a hulking beast having him on the team gives us the edge." Jackson exhaled sharply and the coach said "Let me ask you something, would you like to be chased down by someone like him?"

He looked at him and acted like he didn't understand him but he shook his head and said "No."

The coach smiled and said, "That's exactly what I want, I want the other team to piss their pants when they see him running towards them."

He sighed and asked, "At least tell me he has played something in his life?"

The coach smiled and said "The guy was the star of his football team in Kansas City. This guy has unbelievable numbers, he could have gotten a football scholarship. This guy is raw gold for us." My heart started beating faster and I was scared about what else he knows?

Jackson looked confused and asked, "Then why is he here?" My heart was racing, it was beating like a machine gun and I could only think that he knew that everyone would know.

He shook his head and looked at me and said, "I don't know. They just decided to pack up and leave for some reason." Hearing that was nothing but music to me, I started to calm down, at least they don't know everything about me. I shook my head and said, "So much for a fresh start."

I headed out to the field. I saw Allison and Lydia in the stands. They waved at me and I raised my hand and a guy came towards me. I turned to him and he said "Hey man." I said "Hi."

He smiled and said, "I am Danny, I am the goalie and Coach asked me to give you the basics." I nodded and said, "Thank you."

He started to explain how to play basically and I got the basics I suppose and he asked me "You got it?"

I nodded and said, "Yeah, I suppose I have the basics. Thank you, man."

He smiled and said, "No, problem." I offered my hand and said, "I am Finn by the way."

He nodded and said, "I know, I heard it from the coach." I nodded and he asked, "So how are you liking our small town?"

I nodded and said, "It is nice and quiet. I am liking it so far."

He smiled and nodded and said, "Well, I am happy to have you in our team."

I nodded and then I saw the coach, he waved towards me. I exhaled sharply and jogged there. He placed his hand on my arm but there was a disparity so he removed it and he said "Listen Finn… today all you have to do is understand a little bit of the game, you are already on the team. Just see the game and try to understand it. You'll find it is a little similar to football."

I nodded and he looked at me and said in an undertone "You play for the team and your secret stays with me you understand?"

I sighed and nodded. He smiled and raised his hand and I looked at him and he stopped and put his hand down and said, "Good, now get on the field we will have a little warm-up in a min."

I nodded and was walking away and he slapped my butt and he said "Finn! It ain't all bad. You'll see that there are more ups than down!" I started to jog away and he called out to someone "McCall! On the goal! Come on!"

I walked up to the guys in the field and started to stretch the gear was a little tight for me. We formed a line and were about to practise throwing. I was at the back of the line. I saw that the guy on the goal was the smelly guy. I said, "So his name is Scott huh?"

We were about to start and then the whistle was blown and it pierced my ears. It was so loud, that it felt like someone was blasting music inside my ear. I removed my helmet and placed my hands on my ears. It helped a little. When that irritating sound stopped I was fine. The guy in front of me looked at me and asked "What's wrong?"

I took in deep breaths and moved from side to side and said, "Just stretching dude."

He nodded and looked forward. I saw that Scott was laying on the ground and that everyone was laughing and I thought is he that bad? He got up and relaxed his shoulders and another guy went for it. But he caught it with no problem. Huh, maybe he is not bad? Then why was he on the ground and more importantly what the heck is happening with me?

Other people tried to score but he caught them all and some started to cheer for him and I was confused as to why he wasn't the goalie? He was amazing. I heard "He seems like he is pretty good." I looked and it was Allison.

"Yeah, very good." Lydia said to Allison but then she looked at me and said "But I am waiting to see how he does."

Allison chuckled and said, "You seem very interested to know something?" I looked away.

She turned towards Allison and told her about the football stuff and she said, "He does have the physique." Lydia said, "That he does~." Allison looked at her and then looked at Scott defending the goal post.

Meanwhile, Scott successfully defended the goal. Nothing got past him; he caught every single one. And it upsets Jackson he cuts the line and I heard Scott say "Oh, god." Jackson started to run towards the goal and then he jumped and threw the ball. I thought no way he was catching that but then he did, easily.

It shocked everyone and Stiles got up from his seat and whooed erratically and Lydia also got up and cheered. Jackson looked at her and she gave a smug look and sat down. Then the other guys also tried but no one was successful to get past him. Danny even tried but to no avail.

And now it was my time and I was kinda excited and kinda anxious to see what happened as Lydia and Allison. I have no idea how to play this game but it is mostly about throwing and I am good at that. I got the ball and my heart started to race like before. I took in a deep breath and gripped the stick and I started to run and I tried to mimic what Jackson was doing but without jumping.

I started to run and I gained quite the momentum, I remembered to stop before the line and I twisted my waist and pulled my hands back and I threw the ball at a slight angle. I threw the ball with every bit of power, it was going towards the right corner of the goal but it was too high that it would miss the goal.

Scott still caught it and I could see him catch it in slow motion. But it really looked like he was struggling with this one for some reason. When Scott was about to pass the ball he saw that ball wasn't there. He saw that the ball went through the mesh of the stick. Everyone was shocked, including me. Everyone was frozen but then Coach cheered and then everyone did it too and Scott and I were in a very different league as put by the coach.

But I know what I can do, and this does seem a little too much. I may be powerful but not that much. What is happening with me? The strength, the hearing, what is happening?

The coach called me, "Come here, you big beautiful beast."

He has to stop calling me stuff like this. I walked towards him and I said, "It's Finn, just call me Finn."

He smiled and grabbed me and he said, "You can call yourself whatever you want. But more importantly you're on the team."

I nodded and said in a monotonous tone "Thanks."

He chuckled and said, "Welcome, now even though you got power you still need to practise your throwing cause you suck. Everyday from tomorrow after school practice. I need you to be a bit decent till friday."

I nodded and said, "Okay."

He then smiled and slapped my chest and then we went back to practice.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the throwing practice, the coach had us run some more exercise but I was mostly stuck on throwing and receiving the ball. After the practice was over I just wanted to go home. I changed my clothes and walked out of the school and I saw Allison at the same spot where I saw her in the morning.

I looked at her and asked, "Why are you still here?"

She got up and said, "Your mom asked me to pick you up."

I sighed in relief, because I didn't want to walk home and I said, "Ah, I can't thank you enough."

She smiled and got up and asked, "So did you like lacrosse?"

We started to walk toward the parking lot and I shook my head and said, "It's alright… I might like it."

She chuckled and said, "You were amazing though."

I looked at her and said, "Nah, Scott was the one who was great. His reflexes were amazing."

She nodded and said, "Way to take a compliment FINN~. You tore through that stick! I would say you were amazing"

I chuckled and said, "I am sorry, but I am kinda trying to keep my head out of the clouds."

She chuckled and said, "That is good, but there is no harm in taking a compliment." We reached her car and we got in and she started to drive and I turned on the radio and Titanium was playing on the radio.

We were driving and she asked, "So you don't have a car or something?"

I shook my head and said, "Oh, I have a car." She looked at me and she looked and I said, "But the moving company has really messed everything up. I was supposed to get her yesterday. But she is coming today by evening I guess."

She looked at me and laughed and said, "She? really? You call your car she?"

I looked at her and said, "She is one of the special ladies in my life, so yes."

She chuckled and said, "So who are the other special ladies?~" She raised her eyebrows and smiled.

I smacked my lips and said, "Well, it's my mom and her"

She didn't believe me and she said, "Oh, come on… a guy like you didn't have anyone else?"

I looked at her and said, "I never really had time. I was busy." I then looked at her and she said, "What?"

I scoffed and said, "I suppose you didn't have anyone as well?"

She shook her head and said, "Same as you said I was busy~" We laughed.

We reached home and I saw the moving truck and she was standing in the driveway and I was happy after this long and gruelling day she was here.

Allison pulled up and I went to check her. She was under the cover. Allison parked the car and I waited for her to witness this. She came and she stood next to me. I looked at her and said, "Ready to meet her?"

She looked at me and nodded. I grabbed the cover and I pulled it off the car. Under the cover was a matt black 1971 Plymouth Hemi Barracuda. I looked at Allison and she looked shocked and she said, "Wow… was not expecting this. It's Gorgeous."

I smiled and said, "I know and it's a she." I got inside the car and It felt blissful. I got the keys out of my pocket and I started the engine and I revved the engine and it started to play the sweet sound of its engine which was nothing but music to my ears. I smiled and kissed the wheel and said, "Oh, good to have you, babe."

I saw Alison and she was laughing. My mom came out of the house and saw me as she walked to the car. She looked at Allison and she was talking to her "Hey."

Allison turned towards her and she said, "Hi, I am Allison your neighbour."

Mom smiled and said, "I know… I talked to your mom this morning." She then looked at me and said, "Turn it off Lucius, I am talking here."

I sighed and turned it off and said, "Did she really need to do this?" I got out of the car and was putting the cover on it. Allison looked at me and then my mom shook her head and said, "Lucius is his middle name." She whispered, "He doesn't like that name." Allison chuckled.

I said to mom "We got all our stuff?"

She smiled and nodded and said, "Yup, they even helped set up some of the stuff as compensation."

I nodded and said, "That's nice of them."

Mom looked at Allison and said, "It was nice to meet you, Allison and thank you for dropping him off. Otherwise, I would have been worried sick." I looked at mom and Allison was holding her laugh and she just nodded.

My mom said, "I would ask you to come but there is much work to be done in the house."

Allison nodded and said, "Ah, no I get it." She looked at me and said, "I'll see you in school."

I nodded and said, "Yeah, and thanks for dropping me." She smiled and said, "Bye."

I waved and she walked to her home. My mom said, "She seems nice. You should ask her out."

I looked at her and said, "Mom! Can we please not?"

She shrugged her shoulders and said, "Fine, don't but remember this, if you wait too long someone will sweep her feet and you will be left alone."

I looked at her and said, "I prefer being alone over a bad relationship."

She sighed and said, "Your loss, now come and tell me about the day. I want to know everything."

I nodded and we walked inside the house.
