Pucked, Chapter 1


Pucked
Cosmic Charlie

When I came to college I thought I would be the big man on campus. I had been popular and athletic in high school, and I figured that my natural ability to be the top dog would transfer easily to college life. At the university, I discovered that the hierarchy is already set and that as a freshman I was on the bottom. The big men, the guys every other dude wanted to be, were older and stronger. I might be able to get there some day, but for now I was at the bottom of the pole.

My social position was worsened when I was assigned janitorial work by the work study office on campus. I needed money and the federal government said I had to work for it. So, every night, Monday through Friday, I worked from 6 to 10 cleaning campus buildings.

No one really likes the janitors. Even though every other student knew that I was a student just like them and even though a lot of them had other menial jobs like flipping burgers in the cafeteria, when I put on my uniform I became a kind of joke. It amazed me that guys would be cool with me in class, then laugh at me when they saw me walking into a bathroom with my mop bucket.
