Chapter 6

Finals started on Wednesday, so Julie and I spent Sunday afternoon at her house studying for finals. I helped her with Geometry and History while she helped me with Biology. We also studied Deutsch together.

Tuesday afternoon Julie and I made love once before getting back to the books. We both wanted to do well on the finals, so we kept our hands to ourselves while we studied.

My finals in History and Biology went well. I thought I had a good chance to get A's on both of them. Football practice went well after school. It was the next to the last one we would have until official football practice started in the middle of August. The guys continued to tease me about my whistle and called me "Coach". I was actually starting enjoy my nickname. We were just finishing up when Coach Graham came out and asked Greg, Ed, Jeremy, George Reynolds, a junior who played right outside linebacker, and I to come in with him to meet with Coach Caffrey.

We followed him back of the conference room in the back of the locker room. Coach Caffrey was there with the rest of the coaches, including the three new position coaches that joined the staff last month. Coach Caffrey asked us to have seats.

Coach asked, "How have the passing drills gone?"

Ed spoke up. "I think they went real well. The receivers are running nice crisp routes. Jake Kring looks sharp. He's going to be a good addition to our team next season. Even Logan Mitchell and Garrett Houseman are learning to play quarterback competently. I think we will do well on offense next season."

Logan was a quarterback who was finishing eighth grade. Garrett was a seventh grader who wanted to play quarterback. They had a lot to learn, but they were making a good start.

Coach Caffrey asked, "George, what do you think of the defense?"

George said, "I think we will do OK. Jeremy, Nathan and I are solid at linebacker. The defensive backs are doing OK. They still can't cover Kyle, but they do well against the rest of our receivers. Wouldn't you agree, Jeremy?"

Jeremy answered, "Yes. What I'm concerned about is the center of our defense. We lost Andy Groff and Rick Winters. They are going to be hard to replace. I don't want our line to get soft."

Coach Wyndham spoke up. "I think we will do alright on the line. Do you boys know Joey Keller?"

"No" we answered.

"He is in ninth grade this year. He moved here last fall in the middle of the football season. He played on JV at his old school. We talked him into going out for football this year. He is one big boy. He is almost as tall as Kyle and he's stout. He can bench press a small car. He is going to solidify our defense quite well. I expect he will keep the blockers off you, Jeremy."

Jeremy asked, "He plays right defensive end?"

Coach Wyndham hesitated, "Um ... uh..." He looked over at Coach Caffrey. "Should I tell him Walter?" Coach Caffrey nodded yes.

"We have penciled you in at middle linebacker, Jeremy. Joey is expected to be our right defensive tackle."

"Really?" Jeremy asked, looking more than a little shocked at the news.

"I want you to be our play caller on defense, the way Rick Winters was last year. You make sure everyone knows the defense and gets in the right position. Do you think you can handle it?"

"Sure coach, I'll do my best," Jeremy answered.

Coach Graham spoke up. "Kyle, you know Stan Humphries was our emergency quarterback for the past two years, right?"

"Yes." I answered hesitantly. I knew what came next.

"We want you to fill that role now. You know our playbook cold. You have practiced passing and thrown a few passes in games. We think you would be best equipped to take over if anything happens to Ed and Jake and they can't play. Do you think you can handle this?"

"I guess. This is a surprise," I answered. "I hope our team never needs me to do this. I doubt I could do this as well as Ed or Jake."

Coach Caffrey laughed. "Don't worry, Kyle. Stan was our emergency quarterback for three years and he never took a snap at quarterback. We will give you a little practice time during training camp to help you get comfortable. We'll probably never need you, but we need to be prepared."

"I'll do my best, Coach." I said. I turned to Ed and told him, "I think I'll take some of the snaps at scout camp when we practice after lunch."

Ed answered, "That's cool."

My friends and I discussed plans for our team for a few more minutes before we headed for home. Jeremy proudly drove Ed, Andy and me home.

Julie and I studied Wednesday night together for Thursday's Geometry and Deutsch finals. Julie gave me a kiss of thanks for all my help when our Geometry final was over after second period Thursday. I knew I aced the test. Julie thought she did too. The Deutsch final was easy.

The senior class graduated that evening. Stan invited most of the football team to his graduation picnic on Friday night. Julie and I went together. The Humphries had some good food. Julie and I spent time with Stan talking about his plans. We wished him well when we headed for home.

Andy Groff's parents threw a huge graduation bash on Saturday afternoon. They had burgers, hot dogs, salads, chips, veggie trays, fruit and dip, and a ton of desserts. Andy had music going for anyone who wanted to dance. The Groff's opened up their pool for everyone to enjoy too. This graduation bash was every bit as big as the Hayes party last year.

I got a chance to talk with Zack Hayes at Andy Groff's party. Zack spotted me across the lawn and made a beeline to see me. He exclaimed, "Kyle! I'm glad to see you." He clapped me on the back and shook my hand. "Who's the beauty you're with?"

"This is Julie Simpson, Zack. You see, Zack, you didn't get all of the prettiest cheerleaders when you were in high school." I gave Julie a quick kiss on the cheek. "Julie, this is Zack Hayes, ex-all-state high school quarterback and benchwarmer for Penn State Nittany Lions."

Julie shook Zack's hand and said, "It's nice to meet you, Zack. I enjoyed watching your games last year."

"Thank you, Julie," Zack replied.

I asked, "How are things going in State College?"

Zack said, "Great. Did you see me play in the Blue-White game a couple weeks ago?" Julie and I indicated that we had missed it. Zack continued, "It was great. I got to run the White team offense for a half. It felt good to be in a real game situation. Well, actually it was real as a full team scrimmage can be."

I asked, "Are you going to get to play next season?"

"Not much. I'm number three on the depth chart at quarterback. At least I will get to dress for the games. Phil DiStefano is going to start at quarterback. He's going to be a junior next year. He has a lot more experience than me. Coach Hall thinks he is ready to lead us. I hope I can beat out Jeremiah Nowak for the second spot. He's the same year as me, but I have a stronger arm than him. If I can show the coaches that I've learned our offense, I think I could move up to the two spot on the depth chart during training camp. I want to have Coach Paterno and Coach Hall thinking about me when they think about their future quarterback."

"Cool!" I replied. "I hope that works out for you, Zack."

"What about you and the Wolverines?" Zack asked. "What's up?"

"We've been running off-season passing drills all spring. We incorporated the defensive back and linebackers into the drills. The school board approved hiring three more assistant coaches to help Coach Caffrey. We even started an off-season weight program. Most of the team has been participating. I think our chances are excellent next year."

"That's good, Kyle," Zack said. "It's just what I want to hear. How about you? Have you gotten a copy of the NCAA recruiting rules yet?"

"Not yet."

"You need to do that, Kyle. If you keep playing like the last two years, you need to be prepared when the coaches start calling. Get the regulations and study them with your dad."

"Do you really think I'll get offered scholarships?" I asked.

"Yes. You need to get prepared."

"Is Penn State going to offer me one?" I asked.

Zack looked uncomfortable with the question. "Get the rules. Read them. I'm not allowed to talk to you about playing for Penn State. That's a violation of the rules for me to discuss that with you. Get ready, Kyle. You're going to hot next May when the coaches are allowed to recruit you."

"Wow! You really believe that, don't you, Zack?" I said, pleased and more than a little amazed.

Zack said, "I do, Kyle." Zack shook my hand and said, "I've got to mingle. Keep working hard, Kyle. It's nice to meet you, Julie. See you later." With that Zack headed across the lawn to collar Andy Groff for a talk.

Julie seemed a little amazed at our conversation. "Zack really thinks you're going to get a football scholarship. Do you have any idea who you want to play for?"

"No," I answered. "I have no idea."

"Make sure you get a list together in time for me to apply to those schools too. I want us to be able to spend our years in college together," Julie requested.

"I'll do that, Julie," I promised.

Julie and I mingled with the guests for awhile and then went swimming in the Groff's pool. We managed to sneak a few feels of each other while we swam together. Both of us were horny by the time the party ended.

Jeremy gave Julie and me a ride home after the party. I found a note from Mom in the kitchen when Julie and I got home. It said that my family had gone to the movies. I was to heat up leftovers in the refrigerator if I was hungry.

Julie and I decided to take advantage of the empty house. She called home and got permission to have supper at my house. She kind of forget to tell her mom that my family was away and she was planning to have my hard cock for dinner and top it off with a big load of semen for dessert.

We headed upstairs, got naked and used our tongues and fingers to pleasure each other. Our lovemaking session was long and unhurried. It included several orgasms for each of us. We knew exactly how to pleasure our partner after six months of sharing our bodies with each other.

We lay cuddled together after our final climaxes kissing and cooing to each other. I declared, "Julie, I love you completely. I don't want this summer to be the end for us. Let's make sure we pick the same college. That way we can continue to be boyfriend and girlfriend."

"What do we do for the next two years, Kyle?"

"We have another week together, we have two weeks of sharing a tent in Algonquin this summer and we have the week together next summer that your dad promised us. I can manage to wait for you until we can be together permanently. I love you too much to want to be with any other girl. I can wait for you until college and then we can be together forever."

"Kyle, are you saying that we should get married some day?"

"I hope so. This isn't a proposal. We're too young for that, but that is what I hope for when we're older. Do you see yourself marrying me someday?"

"I think so," Julie answered. "I can wait for you until we can be a couple again." We sealed our commitment with a long, deep kiss. Reluctantly we cleaned up and dressed. Julie's dad came to pick her up after that.

--oooOooo--

We had school a full day on Monday and a half day on Tuesday. I don't know why they bother to have classes after finals are over. We turned in our textbooks, cleaned our lockers out and talked with our friends and watched movies.

After dismissal on Tuesday, Julie and I hung out at my house. We watched a couple movies together. We hadn't planned on making love that afternoon, but after listening for an hour to Andy screw his latest girlfriend, Terri Smith, upstairs in his bedroom, we couldn't contain ourselves.

I went upstairs to my room and picked up a condom and went back to my lover in the family room. Julie was naked on the couch when I returned. I stripped and joined her on the couch. I pulled her on top of me. We kissed and played for a few minutes. Julie was rubbing her mound on my cock by the time I was kissing and sucking on her tits.

We paused for a few seconds so I could cover my cock with that little piece of latex. Julie climbed on top of me and rode me until she moaned and shuddered. Her pussy clenched around my hard cock while her juices gushed out drenching my crotch. We rolled over so I was on top and continued our lovemaking. I pumped my erection in and out of Julie until I spurted my cum into the end of the condom.

Julie pulled herself off my cock and lay down beside me. I pulled the used condom off my cock and dropped it on the floor by our clothes. We kissed and cuddled while we watched TV. The two of us finally got dressed when it was a quarter to five and almost time for my Mom and sister to come home. I walked Julie to the door and gave her a long kiss before she went home.

I went back to the family room to finish watching the movie Julie and I had started to watch. Lizzie came in and joined me when she got home from the babysitter. "Hey, Kyle what's up?" Lizzie asked as she plopped down on the couch beside me.

"I'm just watching 'Risky Business' on HBO," I answered.

Julie settled down to watch with me. I didn't think anything about it until a very horny Tom Cruise called an escort service for a date. Lizzie probably shouldn't be seeing this movie. I said, "I don't think Mom and Dad would want you watching this movie, Liz. This is a little too 'adult' for you."
