For the past couple of weeks, Coach Short had been teaching seniors how improve their athletic abilities. Kevin had always done well in the class and usually earned the praise of Coach during their workouts. Joey was able to keep up usually, but never really excelled at physical activity. Steve usually struggled with this class entirely. This week however since he was here for the first time dressed as a girl, the coach teamed him up with another girl in class similar to his physical stature who was just a few feet in front of Joey and Kevin. Steve and his cohort were perpendicular to Kevin and Joey giving them a nice view of his curves. Steve was wearing a pair of yoga pants like the ones he wore the other day and a simple tank top. Joey enjoyed seeing his friend dressed as a girl and he hoped that he was comfortable with the changes he was going through.
This week, Joey hoped he would perform better, and he was also excited about increasing his overall health and endurance. Last week they had done sit ups and pushups along with runs around the track. This week they were starting with planks, which was new to Joey. They were surprisingly challenging to hold for a full minute and only a few students held the position. Joey watched as Coach helped Steve personally, holding his hand underneath him and pressing on his stomach to help keep him flat. He saw Steve flush as Coach was squatting next to his face with loose gym shorts. He guessed Steve was getting a whiff of Coaches manhood or maybe getting a direct view up his shorts.
After a few more planks, they worked on walking lunges which Joey had done before, but not well. He seemed to do OK at this activity this time and felt he could have done more if he was ready to start pushing himself. Once again, Coach made a point of helping Steve with his positioning. Joey watched as Coach stood behind him and mimicked the exercise while holding Steve's midsection and pulling him close. Recalling the way Steve swooned over Coach this morning he guessed Steve was having trouble keeping his composure. Coach left Steve and made rounds of the students making a point of complementing Kevin as usual. He also watched Joey and gave him an approving nod.
The next exercise was body weight squats which several students had petered out and were struggling completing more than few without grunts. Coach again complemented the students who were keeping up including Joey and Kevin. He found his way over to Steve and again stood behind him to help with the squat positioning. This time Coach was clearly grinding into him, and Steve was flushing particularly bad. Steve's fat ass pressed hard against Coach Shorts during each squat and Joey could see his ass swell with the pressure.
The whole class took a rest and water break and Joey, Steve and Kevin sat on the bleachers with their water bottles. "Hey, Stevie. How are you holding up?" Kevin asked quietly, surprising Joey. "Coach was paying a lot of attention to you, cutie."
Steve rolled his eyes and smiled. "I don't think it's a LOT of attention," saying dismissively.
Joey smiled sideways Steve, "I think Coach has a new favorite student if you ask me."
Coach instructed the class to break into their two groups to start the next cardio exercise. Group A was to head outside and do a light walk or jog around the track for the next ten minutes. Group B, which included Kevin, Joey and Steve along with the remain half of seniors were to use the dozen exercise bikes for ten minutes.
Coach went outside to get the runners started and elected a lead runner to report any issues. He returned to the bikers and walked around checking everyone's speed and strength settings. He offered encouragement to each student and challenging some of them to increase to the harder settings. About five minutes into the exercise, Steve and another student were noticeably winded and struggling. Coach had the two students stop and head to the bleachers. He went to get them a towel and had them drink some water and rest. He instructed the rest of the group that they shouldn't push themselves to point of feeling dizzy or short of breath. He explained that after a day of rest they could come back and try again to make a note of improvement.
Coach Short went and sat with the other students to be sure they were OK and instructed them to feel free to hit the showers and rest up for the last fifteen minutes. He then went outside to check on the group running, and Joey noticed Steve hop up and go to the staff locker door. A couple more students came in from outside, got water and towels and rested with the other student on the bleachers. At the ten-minute mark, Coach Short returned to the B group and had them take a breather and drink before heading outside to run or walk the track. He came over and asked Kevin to run the last exercise for Group B and let anyone that's winded come in and rest. He provided a similar instruction to one of the students in Group A and as Joey and Kevin went outside with the rest of their group, they noticed Coach duck into the staff locker room. The staff locker room was not to be used by staff as it had been designated a gender neutral or trans locker room as had some of the bathrooms around the school. Joey and Kevin smiled a knowing acknowledgement of what was likely going on in the staff locker room right now. Joey had assumed based on the conversation with Steve earlier this would be a welcome visit.
Joey finished up and was heading to finish History class with several other seniors, when Steve caught up with him.
"Hey, Joey," Steve said coming up alongside him.
"Sup, Stevie? Feeling better?" Joey asked putting his arm around his friend.
Steve blushed visibly, smiled and nodded. "Yes. I just got a little worked up I guess."
"I noticed. I agree with Kevin that Coach has a new favorite pet," Joey teased.
"Oh my gosh! How embarrassing," Steve said. "Was it that obvious?"
"I don't think so, but I know how much Coach likes you and how much you like Coach; so maybe I noticed because of that," Joey answered.
"Well, he came into the locker room behind me and told me I had to help him since I got him all worked up," Steve explained. "I swear I've grown addicted to how he makes me feel. I feel like such a girl when I'm with him."
"Well, it was very sexy to watch you with him like I said this morning. You should ask him if he'd be comfortable inviting Stacey next time," Joey suggested.
They walked on for another minute before separating and Joey leaned down and kissed Steve on the cheek. "See you later, Stevie."
Joey walked into History with the couple other seniors and took his seat in front of Billy. There was a note on his seat, which he picked up and read as he sat down.
"J,
Sorry I accused you earlier this week and sorry for being a dick all this time. Hopefully we can still meet after school.
B."
Joey pulled out his phone and texted Billy
Joey to Billy: 'Thanks for apology. I was probably a dick sometimes to. I'm good for after class'
Billy to Joey: 'Awesome!'
Joey focused on finishing his assignment and homework before his last period. He didn't want to be burdened with homework and so much happening tonight. He then made his way to Math class and sat next to Kevin and Steve. They immediately started to update each other on their day.
"Dude. Lunch was crazy. I mean she was a total freak man," Kevin said to Joey.
"I know, right. I'd say she's addicted. She practically dragged me up to that room and when I told her about you, she jumped at the opportunity," Joey said. "We'll have to watch out for her. I don't want the wrong person to take advantage of her or anything."
