I liked to think of myself as a good girl. Everyone does. I mean, everyone loves me. I am an All Canadian volleyball wing spiker, chosen to go to the Own The Podium Olympics 2024. I am a good if not exceptional student, but the scholarship offers are competitive, I don't have to seek them out, recruiters book appointments through my school.
I am captain of the Volleyball team, and have been since my second year. I am a natural leader; I don't get down when the score or play is against us and I have always been very good at reading the players on the court with me. I know how to motivate the ones I am with, and how to target the weaknesses of the ones I am against.
I learned early that being a tall strong girl was going to draw lots of negative attention from the boys. They don't like girls stronger than they are. Just about the time I got used to putting them in their place, the titty fairy came, and the game changed. Suddenly I went from the ugly ginger bitch, to the red headed sex goddess. I still had no use for the smug little pricks.
That being said, volleyball's tight uniforms, my muscular ass and 46E chest, combined with almost continual jumping and we drew lots of crowds. Sure, the games were entertaining, but the boy's games had less than half our attendance. We won a lot, but I doubt half the men in the audience could tell you who we played.
I got along with everybody. Except the math geeks. I am a good student. I am not a freaking calculator. I hold an A- average. The A- is due to my calculus grade which hovers at the C+/B level no matter what I do. I keep getting pointed to the math geeks for help, but I have my pride.
Finally I got the harsh news that to qualify for my full ride scholarship, I would need to bring up my grade. I had a choice between taking Preston the Pimple, the string bean acne afflicted boy nerd who kept sending me awkward valentines since fifth grade, or Emily the Super-dyke.
I have nothing against the LGBTQ community in general, but Emily and her pet Ivy piss me off. There is a natural order to things. The strong, the beautiful, are admired and worshipped, and the painfully average accept their place at our feet and be thankful to share the same space as their natural betters. Emily and Ivy violate that natural sacred order.
Emily on the face of it shouldn't piss me off. Another ginger but darker, she is shorter than me, a little B cup that objectively is OK looking. She looks clean and neat. Dresses without any particular flare. She isn't a brilliant conversationalist. She is a math geek to rule all math geeks, but that is hardly something to be proud of outside the inner sanctum of your math class and certain select cubbyholes in academia and business far from the public eye where they can be undeniably useful.
What she is not is a sex goddess. While I do not want the title, and indeed have not actually yielded my much sought after cherry to any of the boys who pant so hard after it, I am the agreed upon sexual fantasy of the entire male student population, most of the faculty, and all the janitors.
But every day I watch Emily swan through the halls like a queen, with Ivy the Pet in her little black cameo choker. A gift from Emily, she put the black lace choker at her throat on Valentines day in grade 10. I was six lockers down, a full sized locker normally only grads get, while everyone else gets half lockers, but I volunteered with the book room, and two perks of that are a full sized locker and a second set of text books so I could keep one at school and one at home. No humping them back and forth. With my athletic gear, that is a god send.
On Valentines day, I saw Emily grab mousey little Ivy and kiss her full on the lips like some sort of period romance novel. Ivy swooned and melted into her. Then Emily pointed to the ground, and Ivy knelt. Knelt, like in church. Then Emily pulled out this black lace collar with a cameo on it, and Ivy threw her hair forward and bowed her head so Emily could collar her like a dog.
Emily then reached down and raised Ivy's chin, and called her "My pet".
Ivy burst into tears, grabbed Emily's hand and started kissing it like she had been granted the biggest favour ever.
I was rooted to the spot. I couldn't move. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't stop thinking about it all night. I had to call John over to get him to go down on me because every time I started to touch myself, I started thinking about Emily and Ivy. I wasn't a dyke. Not that there is anything wrong with lesbians, we have some on the team and I totally support them. Emily and Ivy piss me off. Oh god. When John was going down on me, I imagined Ivy doing that to Emily and came like a rocket. I actually let John jerk off on my tits, he did such a great job eating me. He wasn't getting into my panties, but at least he kept me from frigging myself thinking about those math geeks.
That is when the bullying started. I guess I may as well be honest about it. I couldn't let it go. What right did these two nobodies have, flat chested Ivy and floppy boob Emily, two plain looking math geeks, having the Great Romance right in front of us all?
Ivy trailed after her like a puppy, and when Emily would reach across to brush some of Ivy's long brown hair out of her face and behind her ear, Ivy's face would transform into an angelic vision. Pure devotion, such a face would grace a stained-glass window in any chapel. Transformed by the touch of her, what, owner? Is that what pets have? She wore that collar like a badge of honour, like the Hope Diamond on a engagement ring from the Prince of Wales or something.
It pissed me off. I started to push between them; through them in the hallways. My team follows my lead in everything. I never told anyone to, but my teammates started doing the same thing. Pushing through them. Making them stand aside in the halls. Sneering at them.
Every time I would knock Emily down, Ivy would rush to her side and pick her up, treating falling on her ass like a three alarm fire, and then hugging her so hard with tears in her eyes that Emily had to pet her hair like calming a frightened puppy in a thunderstorm or five year old after a bad dream. It just pissed me off more.
If I went to knock Ivy down, Emily would inevitably step in the way. It made me feel like a jerk. Like a bully. That pissed me off more. How frigging dare SHE feel superior to ME? I always felt good about myself, but now she was making me feel dirty. I was eighteen years old, had letters guaranteeing me a full ride scholarship through an ivy league school with housing included. All my dreams were coming true. I was worshipped and adored by the whole school and yet I felt worse every single day because of Emily and her pet Ivy.
Tuesday before the awards ceremony, it happened. I am not proud. I crossed the last line. I make no excuses, there are no excuses. What followed I deserved. I accept that now. Of course, I accept a lot now.
I had grabbed my bag and jogged to school. I didn't bring a lunch today because Taco Tuesday was a guilty pleasure that the team routinely allowed, no matter how harsh our self impose diets were. The cooking class was actually pretty good, make a mean chipotle wrap, but the tacos are better than any sex available in High School. Taco Tuesday was my one cafeteria indulgence.
I got to school and unpacked my bag into my locker when I realized. I forgot my wallet. I usually kept it in my bag, but I had moved it to my car when I went out to get food from the vet for our dog (he has some issues, and has a special diet). I never put it back. I didn't have my cash, or my card to get tacos!
As I was fuming, angry with myself, Emily was loading books into her locker, Ivy was standing their holding them like some sort of domestic servant, if servants looked upon medium attractive short haired math geeks like the goddess Aphrodite stepping naked onto the beach. When the textbooks were loaded, Emily reached out and stroked Ivy's cheek. Ivy blushed and pressed Emily's hand to her cheek with both of hers and leaned into it. Her eyes closed, blushing and sighing like she had been given the best most romantic gift every. I don't look that excited when I cum.
I snapped.
I slammed my locker shut and shoved between Emily and Ivy the pet.
"It seems I forgot my lunch money today. It's Taco Tuesday, and I need ten dollars for my tacos. Now since you little DYKES are so lovey-dovey, why don't you give me ten dollars Emily, and you and Ivy can go eat each other's tacos for lunch today?"
I slammed the locker beside them with as much force as I spike a cut shot, and they flinched in a way that made my blood sing, and my soul recoil at what I was doing. In retrospect, this was the most fundamental violation of everything I believed in, and believed about myself, but I could not stop, I would not stop.
Ivy reached for her purse, but Emily stopped her. She reached into her locker and took out two fives, and handed them mutely over to me. Her eyes were blazing. She didn't say a word, but she was not in any way surrendering. I took the money, feeling like filth.
For the first time, I didn't enjoy Taco Tuesday. I watched Ivy and Emily share a chicken Caesar between them and felt like complete scum.
Wednesday was the award ceremony. I was so proud taking the stage, getting two awards I knew about, and three I did not. The big one was my full ride scholarship to UBC. Housing, tuition and a generous allowance. Unsurprisingly, one of the academic full ride scholarships to UBC was given to Emily. As much as I would love to hate her, she really was brilliant. Another went to Preston the Pimple, not much of a surprise. I don't know why he looked so excited, his parents endowed the University with enough to build a whole new wing, so whether he was a super math geek or not, they could have paid his tuition through PhD without noticing the cost. He tried to congratulate me and tell me how wonderful it was we were still going to be in school together. I smiled sweetly and told him it was unlikely we would ever see each other.
I wasn't being particularly nice. This was my moment of triumph and it tasted like ash because I felt like shit from Taco Tuesday. Ivy was hugging Emily and kissing her, babbling about how proud she was of her and how all of her dreams could come true now.
Fucking slut. What did she have to be happy about? She didn't win shit. How could she be this happy when her precious Emily was going away and she couldn't? Sure Ivy got accepted, but its not like she could afford to go.
I am not proud of what I did next.
Pushing between them, I smiled sweetly at each in turn.
"I don't see what you are so happy about. Your little affair is over. Emily goes on, Ivy gets left behind. Your little pet will have to find a new owner." I hissed.
Emily reached out and stroked Ivy's hair, turning her face up as Ivy's face had teared up and turned down as the ugly truth was laid before her.
Emily spoke, looking into Ivy's eyes.
"Do not worry my pet, I am going to win a scholarship for you tomorrow. You will enjoy it. This will be a full ride scholarship in every sense of the word." Emily smiled, then turned to me. My blood went cold.
We played the regional finals the next night. I was on fire. My serving game was only so so, my power was off the charts but that left the occasional serve going just the wrong side of the line. My arial game was unmatched. I kill blocked enough that they abandoned my side of the court at all, and my spikes were doing so much damage they ended up parking their libero behind two blockers just to face me. Half their defence on me, we slaughtered them. I was planting line shots on the paint, cut shots just off the net, and blasting them off the arms of the blockers so hard they were landing on their asses, not their feet when it tore through.
