Raiders Night (2006)
“Taped to the inside of the door over his class and football schedules was a computer printout of a porn picture, a muscular young guy naked except for a football helmet. He was grinning and cradling himself, just the way Ramp and the linemen had on Raider Pride Night. A cartoon balloon drawn over his head in purple lipstick contained the words “Yo, 80, this make you hard?”
Matt slammed the locker shut and scratched off as much of the pink star as he could. What was left looked like shaving nicks.
It didn’t seem like something Mandy would do, he thought. As if I really know her. But Chris said he saw her at the locker yesterday. Matt imagined finding Mandy and jamming the bitch into his locker, banging it shut on her red-painted claws. He took a long breath and swallowed the rage back, the way Monty had taught him. Then he pushed it into a far corner of his mind.
He could still do that.
He could always do that. Focus. Aim a steady eye on the goal ahead.
It got him through the day, into... practice.MoreLess
