Andy had missed sports, especially soccer and baseball. But now he found himself wanting to try something else: football. It was practically a burning desire now, one he didn't understand but gave into.
No one, least of all Andy, expected much after he joined the team. He was a rookie and not big, he seemed on his way to being tall and lean. At season start he weighed an underwhelming 135 pounds, 10 pounds of which had been gained from the end of the previous year.
But Andy was dedicated. He showed up to all the weightrooms and practiced religiously on his throwing and catching (his lean body earned him the position of JV quarterback or wide receiver). And soon he made some noticeable improvements.
In the span of three weeks he gained 30 pounds to 165 pounds, something no one had heard of. His skills increased until he was the JV MVP. Andy started playing more and more Varsity, and the improvements continued, though at a somewhat slower pace.
A month after that, Andy was 195 pounds and had grown to be 5'10". He barely fit into the jersey he had started with, his thickly muscled arms straining the sleeves, as well as a barrel chest that overhung a 6-pack. His legs and butt were accentuated by the tight uniform pants he wore on game nights. Andy had always been cute, with wavy blond hair and a cherubic face, but now he was positively manly, with some rough stubble on his jaw and some hair on his chest. Girls flocked to him now, turned on by his smile and his muscles.
There was just one loose end as Andy completed his transformation into a super jock. Who had he infected with the contagion?
