Chapter Eighteen

Jake's house loomed ahead, but Jake was already walking out of the house. "Took you long enough." He said, as he shut the door behind him.

“Funny.” I responded with a shake of the head. I was actually a little early, but I knew he was just being funny.

He must of seen me looking at his backpack, because he said. "Dude, we weren't joking about the backpack thing. Leo will have one too. Although ours have some snacks and drinks in them. Which I bet you didn't think about bringing."

I felt a little embarrassed about not even thinking about bringing anything other then a spare pair of shorts and a top. "You just said to bring some spare clothes though." I decided to say, but he just grinned, and I realised he was just winding me up.

“You’re so easy to bait.” He then said, as we started to walk down the road.

I decided to not fall into another obvious bait, and instead changed the subject. "So are you two going to draw a card too?"

Jake snorted, nudging me with his elbow. Just hard enough to make me stumble a little. "Yep. Leo hasn't done a challenge this week, and it's already Friday. I wasn’t going to, but Leo made me feel guilty for getting you to draw a card yesterday. Even if that was your own fault."

“Huh? How was it my fault. You guys told me I had to finish my profile.” I quickly pointed out, as I shock my head.

“Yeah, and you could have done that at your house.” He answered, but before I could state the obvious, he grinned. “Seriously? You still haven’t even thought about it?”

“What are you talking about?” I couldn’t help but ask. My confusion, not overriding my annoyance.

“Phones have their own networks.” He then said with a shit eating grin. Which widened as I suddenly realised what he he just said, and what a complete idiot I was. “Ha! You’re such an idiot, but I guess I owe you one. So I won’t mention it to Leo. Call it even?” He then offered.

“Sure, but it was still a dick move.” I responded with a blush. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t even thought about using my phone. I was literally getting notifications on it. I even logged into the site with it last night.

We walked a for a few more minutes, before turning onto the main road. I was about to ask where we were going, when Jake’s phone suddenly buzzed. I saw him pulling it out, and smirk, as he read it.

"Leo's already there, and wants to know how long we will be." He then explained, after he shoved the phone back in his pocket, and saw the look on my face. "Don't look so worried. You had fun yesterday, didn't you?"

"Define 'fun'." I muttered, while still thinking about how stupid I had been yesterday with my phone.

Jake laughed at that, a little too loud in my opinion. Like he always seemed to, as he slung an arm around my shoulders. "Come on, Matt. Just admit it, it was exciting to do the Habiba challenge."

I shrugged him off, as my face heated up a little. "Yeah, if you enjoy running around in your ruined underwear, while an old lady cheers you on."

Jake’s grin widened at that. "Exactly! See? You get it." He then said, as he punched my shoulder lightly. "Wait till you see the den, it’s awesome."

I decided to just let him talk, as we approached the woods. It looked a lot thicker, than it did from my house. We then veered off the path onto a barely visible trail. We even had to duck under a couple of low branches, before walking for a few minutes, until we came to a small clearing.

"Oh." Was all I could think of saying. When they had said they had a den, I was expecting some sort of shed, or maybe something that resembled one. Maybe even a little hut, but it looked like it was just made of some branches and bushes. I had to admit though, it actually looked pretty cool.

"Matt meet our den." Jake told me, with a big grin.

At the same time, Leo stepped out from behind a thick bush. "Took you guys long enough." He said, while giving me a little nod. "You ready for today, Matt?"

"No, but I'm here." I answered honestly. I was still wondering why I had agreed to all of this.

"It will be fun. Let's get inside the den though, it's bigger than it looks from the outside." He then said, with a little shake of the head. Before walking over to the den, and disappearing inside.

Jake grabbed my shoulder. Which made me jump a little bit. "Come on, slow poke." he said, dragging me towards the entrance.

After following him inside, I realised Leo wasn't lying. It was way bigger than I had expected. It made me think of Doctor Who and the tardis. It even had a few old cushions and a couple of wooden crate as make shift furniture.

Leo was rummaging in his backpack, while I looked around. "Okay, so we're all going to draw a card. We all know that, but we don't have to do it right now, or all at the same time. I have to be home by 5pm. So we just have to get our cards done by then." He then told us.

Jake tossed his backpack onto one of the cushions and stretched. "Yeah, but you should do yours now, Leo. You haven't done a card this week. So it makes the most sense."

Leo sighed at that, but was already pulling out a worn deck of cards from his backpack. "Fine, fine. Shuffle them good, and wish me luck." He then said, before passing the deck to Jake.

Jake leaned forward, elbows on his knees. "Nah, I hope you get something brutal. Hearts or Spades, preferably." He then said, after shuffling them.

Leo flipped him off, before reaching out, and plucking a card from the spread deck. I had to lean over a little to see what it was, and saw the ten of Diamonds. "Skill or challenged based. Could be worse." He then said, with more than a little relief in his voice.

I then watched as Jake pulled out the folder from his backpack. I guess they really had been doing this for a while. I hadn't even thought about that, and how we would know what task we pulled. Although I did remember them saying that diamonds were the easier of the suits.

"Ten of Diamonds... okay, let's see..." Jake said, as he flipped through the pages, before stopping on one. "Alright, Leo. You got ‘A game of chance’. You have to beat one or more, of those present." He pointed at himself, and then me, while grinning, “In a game of your choice.”

"So any game I choose, and I can pick either one of you, or both. Would it be me against both of you, like a 2vs1, or just a 1vs1vs1?" Leo asked, after giving it some thought.

Jake shrugged. "It doesn't say, but I guess if you're picking the game. It’s just got to be a game of chance. So I guess it’s your choice who you pick to play against."

I watched as Leo tapped the card against his palm, while glancing between us. "Alright, then I choose... rock-paper-scissors. Best of five all three of us against each other."

"Lame!" Jake quickly called out. Which was kind of true, but if I had to play. I wasn’t going to complain.

However, before I could say anything in favour of the game. Leo starting responded to Jake, while smiling. "Okay, Mr I think that's lame. I’ve changed my mind. It’s going to be just you against me. Strip rock, paper, scissors. First one naked loses."

I think my eyes went as wide as Jake’s, until I realised that I didn’t have to play. "What! no fai…" I then heard Jake start to say, before being cut off.

"My choice, and you're the one that complained. Now come on, Jake. We're going to be doing this outside as well." Leo then said, as I watched them stare at each other for a few seconds.

Jake then groaned, before throwing his hands up. "Fine, but you're such a dick, Leo. Why couldn't you have picked Matt?"

Leo smirked at that, before answering. "Because you whined, and Matt's still new. Gotta ease him in."

I followed them both out of the den. While again feeling relieved that I only had to watch. "Rules are simple. Loser of each round strips one item. Trainers count as one, so do socks. So we both have 5 items. Trainers, socks, underwear, bottoms, and a top. Okay?" Leo then explained.

I got a little nervous, when Jake glanced at me for a few moments, but he then turned to Leo, "Fine, but I'm gonna wreck you."

I wasn’t really sure how to feel about what was about to happen. Either way, I was going to see one of them naked. Although I guess I already saw Jake, but that was from the back. I mean, I was curious, but I hadn’t really seen a boy naked before. At least properly.

"Ready?” Leo then asked, and as soon as Jake nodded, he called out. “Rock... paper... scissors!"

I then watched as Jake threw paper, while Leo threw scissors. "Ha! this is going to be easy." Something that made me realise, that this might be a very quick game.

Jake scoffed, kicking off his trainers. "Whatever, my call now. Rock, paper, scissors!"

This time, Jake threw scissors, while Leo threw rock. Leo grinned. "Oh, Jakey. Looks like this won’t take long."

I swallowed hard, watching Jake peel off his socks. Leo smirked. "Two down, three to go. Rock, paper, scissors!" He then said, barely giving Jake a chance to respond. This time, I watched as Jake threw paper, while Leo threw scissors again.

Jake groaned dramatically, before yanking his t-shirt over his head. Making me blush a little. "Bullshit luck." He muttered, shaking out his hair.

Leo just laughed. "Nah, you're just predictable. Your call."

“We’ll see. Rock, paper, scissors!” Jake then called out.

I tensed as they threw. Jake went for rock this time, while Leo went scissors for the third time. "Finally!" Jake crowed, before smirking. “Guess I’m not that predictable. Mr Scissors.” He then teased.

I watched as Leo rolled his eyes, before kicking off his trainers. "Only round you're winning. Rock, paper, scissors! "

They both threw rocks to make it a tie, but Jake won the following round with paper wrapping Leo’s rock. Leo peeled off his socks, flexing his bare toes against the dirt. "Still winning, Jakey boy."

"Shut up and throw," Jake shot back, adjusting his stance.

“Rock, paper, scissors!” Leo called, before going with scissors again. Which beat Jake’s paper.

I was surprised to see Jake hesitate for a few moments, before unbuttoning his shorts, and letting them pool at his feet. I couldn’t help but notice how his navy coloured briefs clung to his hips. "Don't say it!" He then said, as Leo grinned at him.

"Say what?" Leo teased, stepping closer. "That you're basically naked while I’ve still got my jeans and top on, plus my boxer shorts."

"Just throw already, dickhead. Rock, paper, scissors!” Jake quickly said, while blushing a little bit.

I almost let out a gasp, as I saw Leo go for paper, while Jake went for rock. I had realised the game was going to be quick, but not this quick. I think they were both a little surprised too, but eventually Jake’s fingers hooked into the waistband of his briefs.

"Fuck you." He then half muttered, before pushing them down to his ankles and stepping free. His half-hard cock bobbed against his thighs.

As Leo whistled, I went beat red. I was actually looking at another boys willy and balls for the first time, other than glimpses at the pools changing rooms back home. It was kind of surreal. It was a willy, just like I had, but different.

[Jonjon2]

Great chapter. I wonder if he'll explain what he means when he says that his willy is just like his but different? How is it different?

[NickTwisp]

I wonder if he'll explain what he means when he says that his willy is just like his but different? How is it different?

Perhaps referring to circumcision status (just a guess)?

Chapter Nineteen

"Whatever! get a good look, because I am getting dressed now." I then heard Jake say, then mutter something I couldn't make under his breath.

"Not so fast, Jake. We need photo evidence of the task, so come stand next to me, while Matt takes a few pictures." Leo quickly called out, which made Jake swear under his breath.

Jake then hesitated for a few moments, before shuffling closer to Leo. I couldn’t help but notice he was still half hard. "Fine. But make it quick," Jake then half snapped, with a slight blush.

Leo then tossed me his phone, and I fumbled to catch it. I realised that I would be getting an even closer look at Jake’s privates. My fingers even trembled a little bit as I opened the camera app. "Uh, how many?" I then had to ask, as my blush deepened a little.

"Three or four, and make sure his dick and balls are in all of them." Leo answered, while slinging an arm around Jake's bare shoulders with a grin. I saw Jake’s jaw clench a little bit, but he didn't move as I snapped the photos.

Despite trying not to, it was impossible not to take him all in. I had no idea how big he was, but definitely bigger than i was. Thicker too i also noticed. He even had a bit more hair, but what really stuck out for me. Was that he wasn't circumcised like i was. Which i guess shouldn't have been that surprising. It wasn't that common here from what i had heard.

It was still a bit surreal to get a good look at another willy though. I had only seen glimpses, and maybe the odd search online, but not boys my age. One of the photos i took, i had focused more on his balls. Which while a little bigger, and hanging a bit more loosely. Seemed to be similar to mind, as one was a little lower than the other. i wondered if that was actually normal.

"Happy?" Jake half growled, after I stepped back a bit. I had just about managed to catch myself from taking too long taking pictures.

He was already reaching down to pick up his briefs off the ground, as Leo walked over to me, and took his phone back. He seemed to be happy with the pictures, and after a few moments grinned. "Perfect. This one will do, give me a few moments to upload it."

"Wait, which one?" Jake quickly asked, in a noticeably worried tone.

"Look for yourself in a minute. Although you might want to get dressed, unless you plan on spending the day naked." Leo responded with a small smirk, while I tried my best to not keep sneaking peaks at Jake.

Jake muttered a curse, that I didn’t quite catch. While he was pulling his briefs back on. "Yeah, yeah, Leo. Very funny. So what now? It’s Matt’s turn to draw a card next.” He shot me a pointed look, as he said that. Before pulling his t-shirt over his head.

"Wait, what?" I said in a slightly panicked tone, before Leo came to my rescue. "Don't worry, Matt. Jake is just being pissy, because we got to see his little dick, half hard. Let's get back inside the den, and hang for a bit."

Inside the den, Jake flopped onto a cushion, still looking a little annoyed. I smirked a little, when Leo suddenly tossed him a protein bar from his backpack. "Eat something, grumpy guts."

To my surprise, Jake actually caught it, before ripping the wrapper with his teeth. "Whatever. Just remember, Leo. I will get a chance to get you back eventually."

Leo just rolled his eyes at that, before nudging me with his elbow. "So, any films you looking forward to seeing come out soon? There is a cinema in the city nearby just so you know."

I hesitated, glancing between them for a few moments. "Um, yeah. There's a new Marvel one coming out, I think."

Leo seemed to like that answer. "Oh, yeah! We'll have to go see that." He told me, while Jake muttered something unintelligible through a mouthful of his protein bar.



For the next ten or fifteen minutes, we just made small talk. Mostly around films and TV shows that we liked and were looking forward to. Until Jake suddenly sat up, and clapped his hands. "Alright, screw this. Let's get Matt's card done." He then said, as I felt my heart drop a little bit.

Leo sighed but nodded, pulling the deck from his pocket again. My stomach twisted a little bit as he shuffled the cards. "You don't have to if you're not ready," Leo said quietly, after catching my expression.

Jake scoffed at that. "He's already done a couple. He can’t chicken out now."

"If you're so bored, Jake. Why not lead by example, and draw a card yourself?" Leo then challenged, as I did my best to not say anything. Just in case the attention turned back to me.

Sure, Leo seemed to be on my side at the moment. But they had been friends for years, and I knew he could easily switch sides and I didn't want that to happen. So I just watched as they bickered a for a little bit.

Jake eventually rolled his eyes, snatching the deck from Leo's hand. "Fine. But when I pull something easy, Leo. You're gonna look like an idiot." He shuffled clumsily before flipping the top card over and revealing the eight of Spades. "Oh, come on!" He then said with a shake of the head.

Leo snatched the folder, flipping pages with a grin. "You love your pain tasks, Jake." His finger stopped halfway down. "Oh, this is good. It’s called ‘Planking is fun.’ you have to hold a plank position, with an atomic wedgie. 90 seconds duration, per person watching.”

Jake groaned. "So... three minutes?" He then stood up "I can do that... I mean, you just have to lay flat on your toes and arms. how hard can it be." Which I had to agree with. It did sound pretty easy.

Leo was smirking as he responded though. "You're forgetting the atomic wedgie. So get face down on the floor, Jake."

I could see Jake hesitating for a few moments. "Fine, but you better not make it worse than it has to be, Leo." He then said, as he dropped to his hands and knees.

Leo crouched behind him, fingers already hooking into Jake's briefs. "Deep breath." He then warned, before yanking the waistband up and over Jake's shoulders, and then over his head. All in a matter of a few seconds. I gasped along with Jake, as it looked pretty painful.

"Fuck… you prick!" Jake mumbled, and I couldn’t blame him. I remembered my atomic wedgie from yesterday.

"3 minutes starting now." Leo then called out, after looking at his watch. He then winked at me, as he pulled his phone out.

"Shit... it hurts already…" Jake whined within about 15 seconds. His body was already shaking a little bit, and I could see the fabric of his briefs pulled obscenely tight between his cheeks even though he still had his shorts on.

Leo smirked, circling him like a shark. "Sixty seconds down, Jakey. Only two minutes left." He crouched low, snapping a photo of Jake's flushed face. "Smile for your fans."

Jake's breath came in short bursts, his fingers clawing at the dirt. "Fuck, it's digging in." Every time he moved, even a little bit. I could see him struggle a little bit more.

Leo crouched beside him this time, tapping his watch. "Ninety seconds. Halfway there, champ." He grinned at me, jerking his chin toward Jake's straining legs. "Check out those calf muscles shaking. Bet he won't last."

Jake whimpered, his hips sagging slightly before he forced them back up. "Shut... up... Leo..." He panted. I was sure if his underwear wasn't pulling his head up, it would have hit the ground. I caught myself staring at the way his thighs tensed. His whole body fighting to stay rigid.

Leo nudged Jake's trembling calf with his trainer. "Two minutes. You're doing great." He teased, voice dripping with mock encouragement.

Jake's breath then hitched, after Leo suddenly tugged the wedgie higher. "Stop… fucking… moving it!" He then hissed.

"Just helping you earn those points, Jake." Leo answered with a snigger, before snapping another photo, just as Jake's arms gave out for a split second. He only just managed to lock his elbows in time to stop himself hitting the ground. I could see the sweat dripping off his nose onto the dirt.

"Fuck… can't..." Jake then gasped, his thighs shaking violently. I thought he might actually fail the task.

Leo crouched beside him again, grinning. "Thirty seconds left. You really want to give up and lose 50 points and have to draw two cards next time."

Jake snarled. "No!" but his voice cracked when Leo suddenly flicked his earlobe.

I bit my lip as Jake's arms finally collapsed. His face hitting the dirt with a grunt, the wedgie still yanking his hips up obscenely. Leo sighed dramatically. "Damn. 3 minutes 1 second." He then said, before chuckling.

"He made it?" I had to ask, as I looked between Jake. Who was flat on the ground, with his underwear still hooked over his head. And Leo, who somehow looked equally both disappointed, and impressed.

Leo nodded. "Yeah, he's lucky. A couple of seconds earlier, and he would have failed." He then leaned down, and unhooked Jake's underwear. Who cursed, as his face smacked against the ground. "Oops, sorry!" Leo then quickly said, with a guilty grimace.

Jake groaned, before rolling onto his side. "Fuck! That was awful..." He then muttered, while rubbing his face, and then his crotch. "I can't believe how hard that was."

[Summers]

Just a little update, i was supposed to change chapter 19 a little bit, before posting, but i have been ill with the dreaded man flu. so i only just noticed.

It's not that different to be honest, but near the start just an extra couple of paragraphs of Matt taking pictures of jake. Not much, but just a little more detail.

[Summers]

Chapter Twenty

Leo chuckled, tossing him his bottle of water. "Yeah, yeah. Drink that, grumpy. You earned your points."

Jake snatched it, gulping half of it down in one go, before wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. "Now my cheeks and balls hurt. Thank fuck I already did all my tasks this week.”

I shifted uncomfortably, suddenly aware that I didn't have mine done yet. Leo must've noticed, because he nudged Jake. "Yeah, well, Matt still needs to draw his card today, and has another to do before Sunday is over. Right."

Jake smirked, still rubbing his thighs. "As much as I want him to do it now, I need a break. That really did suck."

Leo nodded, flipping the deck in his hands. "We'll do it later then. We can just hang out normally for a while, unless Matt wants to do it now."

They both looked at me, and I swallowed hard. "Uh, later is fine." I muttered, and sighed in relief, after Leo pocketed the cards.

Jake stretched his arms with a groan, still rubbing at his sore crotch. He shot me a smirk that didn’t quite reach his eyes. "So… what now?" I then asked, after sitting down on one of the cushions.

Jake glanced at me, before shrugging. "Now we chill. Although you two can do the talking, I need a bit." He then said, before leaning back a little.

Leo stretched, leaning against the den wall. "So, Matt. What’d you think of Jake’s little performance?" I could see Jake holding up his middle finger.

"Shut up, Leo. I’m bigger than you are." Jake then shot back, and I couldn’t help but blush. Even though it wasn’t directed at me.

I really wasn’t sure how big I was. I had heard other boys, and even some girls talking about sizes. The few glimpses I had seen in changing rooms, weren’t enough to judge how I compared. However, Jake was definitely bigger, and he had a bit more hair than I did down there.

Hearing he was bigger than Leo though. I mean, if he were being honest, did help be feel a little better about myself. Although Jake wasn’t loads bigger. Even someone as modest as I was. Knew no one wanted to have a small one, or even worse. The smallest.

“Barely.” I then heard Leo say, as I looked up from the floor. “So anyway, Matt. You got any questions? I mean you just saw two more tasks being done. What did you think?” He then asked, me as he sat on the edge of a crate.

“I don’t know. I guess it’s still just overwhelming, I mean. How do you do it?” I asked, as I just about managed to put how I felt into words.

“What do you mean?” Leo quickly asked me, and I could tell that he really wasn’t sure what I was asking.

“I mean… Jake was naked… I… I mean we don’t even know each other, and he’s stripped off twice in front of me now, and er… you uploaded a naked picture of him, on your profile… how… I mean… aren’t you embarrassed?” I explained, as I stumbled over my words. I definitely didn’t think I could do that.

“I mean, it’s embarrassing, but that’s part of the fun. Besides, we aren’t the only ones that play the game.” Leo answered with a shrug.

“Once you end up naked a few times, Matt. You will get used to it.” I then heard Jake say, which made my eyes go wide.

“Naked? No way!” I quickly told them. Something they both seemed to have found funny, because they both started laughing for a few moments.

“Come on, Matt. You had to have realised that you will end up naked eventually. I mean we told you yesterday we play strip games.” Leo then said, after composing himself first.

“Oh my god! You really didn’t. Did you?” Jake then asked me, before they both started to laugh again. While I just blushed, as I once again found myself how I managed to get myself into this situation.

“Hey! Maybe you will get lucky. As long as you avoid hearts, and don’t lose any tasks or challenges. You’ll be fine.” Leo then offered, with a reassuring smile. Although I think we all knew the chances of that happening, were low.

“Like I said, Matt. You’ll get over it eventually.” Jake then said, as I shifted in the cushion.

“Any other questions? Maybe it will help take your mind of it that for a little while.” Leo then asked, while continuing to smile reassuringly at me. Even though it did little to actually help me relax.

“I don’t know.” I responded quietly, before remembering something from yesterday. “Do either of you know who LilRed is?” I asked, as I sat up a little.

“LilRed…” Leo began to respond, before pausing. “Oh, I am guessing they sent you a message.” He then said, but Jake jumped in before he could say anything else.

“That’s Suzie. She lives opposite our houses. What did she message you?” He asked, with more than a hint of excitement. Which caught me a little off guard.

“Er… not much. She just said she liked my Habiba challenge, and she err… well. She said, she and her friends couldn’t wait to play with me.” I answered a little nervously, as I saw the look on both of their faces.

“Oh, you’re going to have to be careful around them. They do like ganging up on the boys.” Jake then said, after a long over the top whistle.

“What do you mean?” I couldn’t help but ask.

“They’re part of the game, they all turned 11 in time to play for this year.” Leo answered, as Jake sniggered a little bit.

“They’re only 11? how many are there?” I couldn’t help but ask, as I wondered if their ages would be a good thing or not. Surely they were too young to know about the embarrassing stuff.

“Yeah, but don’t let that fool you. Girls are no joke when it comes to the game, Matt.” Jake answered this time, as he sat up a little more.

“And there are four of them. Suzie, Lily, Fiona, and Gail. Haven’t had much experience with them, but don’t underestimate anyone playing the game, Matt.” Leo then said, as he gave me a reassuring smile.

“I guess so, but it’s not like they pick what the tasks are when you pull a card.” I said, as I shifted a little uncomfortably.

“True, but I think you’re forgetting about something, Matt.” Jake then said, as he wagged a finger at me mockingly, and I couldn’t help but frown.

“What?” I couldn’t help but ask, as I looked between them.

“While you can just draw a card whenever you want, and get your three done for the week. There are other ways to end up drawing one. Remember what we told you yesterday?” Leo explained, as he gave Jake a pointed look. Which I assumed was to stop him saying something annoying.

“I guess so, but they’re 11 year old girls. It’s not like I am going to ever play any games with them.” I answered with a shrug.

“Well, there is the challenge system, Matt.” Leo then said, as I felt my stomach drop a little bit. I had not even considered that.

“Surely, people can’t just spam one person with challenges though. Didn’t you say something about that yesterday?” I quickly asked, as I tried to remember what they had told me. While also scolding myself for not reading the rules and stuff I had skipped over, as I signed up to the stupid game.

“Well, it’s not against the rules, but it rarely happens. You can always send a message to an admin on the site, if you think you’re being targetted. Besides, challenges cost points, and not everyone wants to risk theirs.” Leo explained, in a calm tone. Which didn’t really help that much.

“It’s not like you can be forced to play with people or in games that have card draws on the line. You might get challenged occasionally, but you will have points to reject them. The season only started a few weeks ago. So points are sparse.” Jake then added, and surprisingly it did help.

“You have 25 points at the moment, right?” Leo then asked me, as Jake perked up a little at the question.

“Yeah.” I answered, as I wondered where he was going.

“Wait. You should have 50.” Jake then asked, and I couldn’t help but blush a little for some reason.

“Oh right. Forgot to tell you, Jake. Matt got challenged by Zach Hendricks last night, but rejected it.” Leo quickly explained, which I appreciated.

“Seriously?” Jake said, before sitting up properly. “What was the challenge?” He then asked, in a tone that was somewhere between curious and excited.

“A knock out wrestling match, with some other stuff, but I didn’t want to do it.” I told him, as I decided against giving all the details. I didn’t see the point.

“Should be surprised I guess. Zach does like his wrestling, and has a bit of a thing for challenging older boys. Definitely wants to prove himself.” Jake then said, as he sat back a little more again.

“But, getting back to my point, Matt. You have two more draws to do before Monday. Want to get one out the way now? I know we said there is no rush, but it puts you back at 50 points, and leaves the rest of the weekend to do the other draw.” Leo then caught me off guard by asking.

I had to think about it. Despite wanting to reject it straight away, but I couldn’t avoid doing the draws. So I had to decide to do them now or later, and at least now. It was just the three of us, and while still potentially embarrassing. It could be worse. A lot worse.

“Come on, get one done now, and the other later today, and then you have 75 points, and the rest of the weekend to relax.” Jake then decided to say, and while I had already made my mind up. I had to admit, that he made it a little easier.

“Okay, I will do one now.” I then said, before I could change my mind. Knowing that there was a no taking back rule.

“Yes! Come on something hearts.” Jake then called out loudly. Which made me instantly regret what I had just agreed to.

“Such a dick.” Leo then said, before reaching over to the deck of cards and giving them a shuffle.

Jake then began to say something, but Leo just held up his middle finger. Something that would have made me at least smile any other time, but as he spread the cards out in front of me. All I could do was swallow nervously, as I reached out.

I plucked the card out of the spread deck, and slowly turned it over. Revealing the 7 of clubs. Which was at least not a heart, and clubs meant endurance. For some reason, the 7 seemed to be familiar, but I couldn’t figure out why.

“Oh cool. Hanging around. We told you about that yesterday.” Leo then said, after I showed them the card.

“Yeah, and clubs means you will have to pull yourself up and down 5 times for each person watching. So we don’t even need to pull the folder out. Unless you want to double check?” Jake then asked, as he reached for his backpack.

[Jonjon2]

So many possibilities for future embarrassing situations. The wrestling match may still happen and now a group of 11 year old girls may issue a challenge, along with the 'normal' tasks that he has to take on - how much longer will he avoid hearts?
Great story.
