Chapter Fourteen
Tyler
I was a bit nervous. I’d woken up early that morning and got my workout in, a good high protein breakfast, a hot shower, and I was dressed to impress, but not too impressive. I was ready to deliver a great speech to some impressionable young people. I doubted that they wanted to hear a word I had to say, but hopefully they would at least pretend to pay attention since I was at least a distraction from their stupid schoolwork.
I waited outside of the classroom until Brad announced me. I took a deep breath and stepped inside the classroom. Everyone in there looked way younger than I thought they would look. It seemed like high school kids looked younger and more immature every single year. And I was pretty convinced they were all on dope.
I took another deep breath and tried to steady myself. They could sense fear, I knew it. But if I tapped into the bear just a bit, I’d be able to sense fear as well. Although, I might not be able to stop after I did so. If I changed into a bear in front of all these kids, they would probably all have it on their Instagram’s before I could blink. It was crazy what was happening with today’s youth. They knew nothing because everything was already known for them.
“Hey, everybody,” I said. “My name is Tyler Chambers. I went here. Yeah, I graduated from Athens and I even had Mr. Stewart. So, I’ve been right where you are. Now, a lot of you are probably wondering what you want to do after you graduate and what you want to do with your lives after that. You may be saying that you don’t even want to go to college, or you want to take some time to figure things out. Well, I tell you, college is one of the best places to find yourself. Or you can go out into the world and actually do it, but that often takes so much longer, and it can be far more costly.”
The kids were all looking at me as if I had egg all over my face, but I didn’t care. I was really getting into my speech. I was just about to get to the part where I explained to the kids that even though I dropped out of college, there was no reason they should have really followed my footsteps in that, when I noticed a few of the girls were smiling and hanging on my every word. They seemed to be really checking me out. It was a little unsettling to have sixteen year old girls looking at me that way, but it got me thinking how I would have killed to have that when I was sixteen.
I tried to ignore it and got back into my speech. Brad Stewart was sitting at his desk with his feet up reading a book. That was a good way to inspire the kids to listen to me, I thought.
