Chapter 2: Things I won’t stand

In the evening, I went to the football club for regular practice. Our team members were reduced because some of our lads didn’t care to play when there was no future. Most of the lads who still came were sponsors who played to maintain their aggressiveness and physique.

Ted, a Jewish boy, was my buddy on the team. He had raven hair with a beautiful face, was tall, athletic build, and was a sponsor with a score of 6.9 making him so popular among the girls. I had only limited ideas as to why he picked me as his buddy. We had only a few things in common. Maybe it did not matter so much. Sometimes you just want to be friends with someone you like, that’s it.

Most of the remaining members of our team were sponsors. Lately, our daily training was disturbed by a crowd of concubine girls. Some girls came to cheer their sponsors and some came to try fish for sponsors. They always screamed when a guy touched down, tackled, received a ball, or maybe just ran. They were all crazy; they flashed their boobs or booty quite often as well, which I can’t complain about.

I accidentally saw Ted’s pointy thing when we were in the shower after the training.

“Crap, Ted. Is that because of all the girls in the grandstand? Don’t tell me that you get hard like that all the time we practice”

“Don’t tell me you looked away when they showed us their goods, man.”

“Of course, I loved it. But didn’t you get a lot of girls already, especially from that club?” Actually, Ted was the one who told me about that private club and all the things that happened in it.

“Yeah, but I’d like to try as many as I can. All kinds of girls.”

“You mean all the races and types. Actually, anything with a pussy standing with 2 legs, has no tail, and is still breathing, you will have them all.”

“Yeah, you know me, buddy. It’s culture learning.”

“Of course, culture learning. So have learned all the cultures in the world yet?”

“I think there are only a few cultures left that I haven’t learned from yet including cultures from Southeast Asia.”

“You are talking about my sister and Beth. They are the only girls who originated from that part. How come then? You told me that you met Beth in the club?”

“Yeah, but she’s your girlfriend. So I tried my best not to fuck her.” He replied.

“No, she’s just my best friend. You may have sex with her if she wants. You don’t have to worry about my feelings. I don’t want anyone to do or not to do something because of my feelings.”

“Wow. You’re the most open-minded guy on the earth ever! So can I fuck your sister too?”

“Well, she obviously has a pussy standing with 2 legs, has no tail, and is still breathing, meeting all criteria. Fuck you! Jesus fucking Christ.”

“Anyway, she wasn’t in the club. I wonder if she’s already got a sponsor, or concubines in case she was a sponsor.”

“Yeah, as far as I know, she’s got that already.” I tried not to tell him about my family matter.

“And Beth won’t fuck me because I am your friend.” He revealed “I mean I am not that desperate, I can continue my culture learning project later on. I just want you to know that Beth and I really care about you and it would be great if you could go with us. No matter what your status.”

Again and again! These people were plotting to ask me until I joined the Confederacy.

“There can never be enough to tell everyone why I want to die so much.” I got a bit hot head. No one understands why I want to stay on the earth. I shoved my head into the stream of hot water.

“You are asexual, right? That’s why you don’t want to have or be a concubine. I’ve never seen you with any girl but Beth, and you said she isn’t your girlfriend.”

“No, I am interested in a girl. I even had a crush on a girl recently, since the start of the semester.”

“Oh really? Who is she then? Why didn’t you tell me about her before?”

“I don’t know. I thought you wouldn’t care much. You are on another level already, having lots of girls...”

“So, who is she?”

“Alicia, the same grade, Beth’s friend.”

“A friend of Beth? How can you have a crush on your girlfriend’s friend? What a perv.”

“I liked her before they became friends.”

“Beth is a perv then. What does this Alicia look like? Is she a volunteer? How do you deal with it?”

“Beth told me that Alicia is not qualified. I’ve made up my mind already about whether she is going with someone else. She is a blonde girl, innocent-looking, and a bit taller than Beth. You might have seen her in the school when she was with Beth ... Shit!”

I exclaimed when I saw his facial expression and I just knew what had happened.

“I’m sorry, Neetz. Seems like I...”

“Yeah, of course. There is a chance that you might have fucked her in the club already.”

My heart beat like it wanted to get off my chest. I calmed my emotions down. If I had faced this situation before the Sa’arm era I might put my fist upon his face uncontrollably, but since the times had changed, sex had become more and more ordinary. Jealousy is just a buildup emotion that we learned from society. So, when the core of society changed, jealousy faded away. Our awkwardness was just a remnant of it.

The naked image of Alicia appeared in front of Ted right now bumping her booty onto his still pointing dick. I closed my eyes trying to shake it off my mind.

“Man, I think this is a bit weird.” He was looking at my crotch “Why the hell is your dick getting hard?”

“Oh, nothing. I was getting excited after I knew that my close friend had had sex with my crush. Oh. God. How fucked up am I? Never mind, may I ask you if she goes to the club a lot? Did she find a sponsor yet?”

“Well, as a matter of fact, I don’t know if I should tell you about it...”

“What? Just tell me” I insisted.

“Alright, she went there quite a lot and has had sex with boys and girls, just like other people did. Then she seemed to hook up with Michel. You know Michel, a black guy from the basketball team? He agreed to take her as his concubine.”

“So, it is good. She is safe now. This is actually what I want to hear.”

“No, maybe not. You know, when an agreement is made between sponsor and concubine without the authority of the Confederacy, it’s merely a promise with no legitimate guarantee. I heard that Michel isn’t going to actually take her with him. I think it is because she is a bit dumb. I’m sorry to say this but she isn’t the kind of girl that you want to talk to for the rest of your life. Even though when it comes to sex, she is very attractive. Maybe it is because of the innocent look that makes any man want to, you know, do her or abuse her. It is not a surprise why Michel might lead her on if he is a fan of swapping. Alicia is a high value for trading ... You O.K.? Buddy?”

His face turned in shock when he saw me change my pose. He was afraid because he had seen this persona of mine before when we were in a game. After I got beat or saw members of our team beaten up, the tension of violence rose and I became more and more savage. I was not actually aware of that. Ted told me that it would begin with my look becoming like a beast, and I would go out of my way to beat my opponent as hard as possible ignoring my own safety and pain. He said he didn’t want to be my opponent. This trait was the reason why our coach kept me in the linebacker position.

I was really upset right now. I became angry and that was not because of jealousy. It was not because of the urge to fight over her. I just can’t stand when someone is treated like they are not a person but goods, an asset that can be traded or thrown away. And this was not just someone, it was Alicia.

“And no one told her about that? You didn’t tell her?” I asked

“Well, I did not particularly know her. If I had known that you had a thing for her I might have told her, I guess. But things like this are kind of uncertain, you know? Like when your friend told you he is going to break up with his girl. You obviously picked his side, right? You damned the girl, telling your friend that she was just a bitch. The next day they got back together and you were in the doghouse. This is why nobody says anything. Anyway, you should be aware that sponsors trading their concubines is just a normal thing in the Confederacy. Just like people with the swinging lifestyle, something like that.”
