Terry had just decided to head off and take more yearbook photos, when he felt the camera slip through his grasp. He fumbled for it, but it hit the ground by the button, with the lens directly facing Terry.
FLASH!
Coach Tim Park bent over from his imposing height to pick up the camera. He’d seen it in the boys’ locker room and been fiddling with it when it went off in his face and he dropped it. He swore under his breath, reminding himself to take it to Lost and Found later. In the meantime, he plopped it on his desk in his tiny office.
Coach Park was one of 2 P.E. coaches, the other being Coach Paula Tonkin for the girls. Paula was actually his fiancé; their wedding was scheduled for June. He thanked God every day for someone as wonderful as she in his life.
Coach Park had come from an immigrant household; his grandparents spoke only Korean and his parents’ English, while good enough, was never truly fluent. He’d been born here and never developed a Korean accent, though he was raised in both languages.
As a boy, Tim Park had fit the stereotype of the studious Asian. However, upon turning 13, he had discovered that girls liked athletes, and sought to reinvent himself as such. A massive growth spurt at age 16 left him at his current height of 6’6”. This, combined with a large testosterone surge and near-religious workouts, had left the former skinny kid as a giant. Weighing in at 260 pounds of pure muscle (abs included), with a chiseled jaw and light stubble/body hair, Park also was gifted with an unusually large package (9” soft, 12” hard; apple-sized balls).
With his size increase had come a true interest in physical activity, and Tim had studied kinesiology before getting the job here. At 26 he was not only the boys’ P.E. coach, but also the high school football coach, a sport at which he’d excelled at that age.
Currently, Coach Park wore sneakers, ankle socks, mesh athletic shorts, and a white wifebeater under a very tight sky blue T-shirt. A whistle hung from a string round his thick neck. Designer stubble graced his jaw, while a light coating of black hairs was all over his arms, legs, and torso.
