And in walked Steve. Steve was a freshman and an ascetic nerd to the extreme. He was without muscle,
without friend, without a life and filled with resentment. He was short and small with long messy dark hair.
He wore plain, hideous clothes and cared for nothing but his grades. Though a nerd he was despised by
teachers for his contemptuous nature, he only cared to pass so he could go to a good college free of ‘less
intelligent beings’ but he did not even refrain from harshly correcting teachers upon their mistakes. At home
he wasted his days on World of Warcraft creating for himself an online empire to compensate for the lack of
true life, replacing people with AI and online buddies. He gave scornful gazes to anything sports related.
An eternity ago he had liked sports as his parents had intended but he had failed miserably at every one he
tried filling him to the brim with bitterness. This failure did not go unnoticed and he was harassed to death
by his peers for his lack of talent, thus making him the cynic they despised all the more. He loathed people,
loathed sports and above all loathed jocks. To this end he hacked the electronic score board at his high
school’s last game so it flashed ‘Fuck Sports.’ There was no real question of who did it, he was discovered
and sent for some remediation. He needed to relearn the joy of sports and be freed of his spiteful antipathy.
Luckily, a plan was already made.
Steve was injected with a chip like all the others, a very special chip, before being sent on his way.
He had no knowledge of his injection. He thought he was just there to endure the grueling lecture they gave
him on the importance of sports and physical hobbies and how he had best not insult hard working athletes
again less there be consequences. He shrugged this off; he had heard empty threats before and was not
intimidated. His chip was remarkable in that it was not programmed for a single transformation and several
diabolical triggers. Should a sports team of any sort be near by and in need of a player he would be
transformed into a jock for that sport, reality would be bent to make him the needed player, he would play the
game with zeal and remain as a jock until dawn the next day. Should he insult a jock publicly he would be
transformed into a jock for that team and remain so until he played and won a game with them. There are other
dormant parts to the program yet to be revealed. What happens to Steve?
