"Huh, your from the art faculty?" Drake asked in disbelief. "Thanks bro" Drake said as he pressed Carl's I.D into some sort of scanner that glowed bright green. "Sure." Carl said as he slightly wrestled with his pockets in order to reach for his I.D -"Here it is!" Carl said relived as he gave the small plastic card to Drake. "Can I have your I.D brah?" Drake asked as he extended his hand. "Thanks." Carl said in a quiet tone as he still grappled with what had happened.Īfter a short walk, Carl found himself standing at a round desk which had a few large computers placed on it, meanwhile, Drake continued walking until he reached one of the computers and started to type something Carl couldn't fully see.
"Great!" The guy said with a cordial smile as he signaled for Carl to follow him which he promptly did -"Bt-dubs I'm Drake, I work here so if you need anything else once your registered don't mind asking, I can even help you with some tips on what each machine does or how to use them". Where can I sign up." Carl added unsure of the nice way the muscular jock in front of him was acting. "I um." Carl said as the smell of musk combined with axe deodorant invaded his nose -"Im new here. "Hey brah you look kinda lost, do you need any help?" The guy said with his deep baritone and dumb-sounding voice.
Memories of being pushed around by the other jocks in high school made Carl's nerves even more alert but what came out of the jock's mouth completely stunned him. His towering frame made Carl look like a midget, the muscles he had were out of this world and completely exposed as the guy was only wearing a red tank top and a pair of baller shorts, his face was incredibly chiseled and overly masculine which made Carl gulp in fear as he thought that the guy would probably act like a complete douche over the simple mistake he had made. Suddenly while Carl was distracted his body collided with what at first appeared to be a rigid wall but then as he recuperated from the collision he quickly noticed that the wall was in actuality a heavily muscled jock that looked just like one of the guys from earlier.
"Don't be too obvious." Carl said as he glanced back and forth at the men, he noted that the vast majority of people at the gym were men while there were only two women present -"I can't blame them" Carl thought as he slightly cringed at the bro-ish ways the men were acting while still admiring their muscles -"They are probably avoiding these chads and their lazy pickup lines". "So this is where all the tuition money is invested." Though Carl while frowning as he finally started walking away from the entrance and into the exercise area.ĭespite the room being filled with the noise of some obscure electronic music, Carl could still hear the grunts of a few men doing their routine exercises and the sudden metallic noises produced by the weights they were using.Ĭarl recognized a few men from seeing them around campus close to their frat houses or when they were practicing at the football field that was close to the almost rundown art faculty building where he studied at.įrom afar it was hard to really appreciate how muscular these men were but now that Carl was almost face to face with them his eyes almost bulged out once he saw them pumping their muscles and flexing their biceps at each other. Carl nervously pushed the set of glass doors in front of him with his hands, once he had entered the large and open space that was home to his college's private gym he stood there motionless as his eyes observed the new and somewhat foreign environment he now found himself in.Īs far as his eyes could see there were dozens of exercise machines and gym equipment of all shapes, sizes, and functions.
