The Rematch by M.C. Thomas Richards strained as he desperately tried to break his opponent's hold. Only by using all the strength in his six foot two inch, 225 pound body was he able to free himself from his much smaller, but much quicker, opponent. The Madison high school's champion wrestler for the past two years was facing a challenge that he never expected and was in serious danger of losing his title. He charged his opponent once again but,once again, his opponent skillfully avoided his attack and put him into another hold. The girls in the packed gymnasium, began to cheer wildly; the boys sat in stunned silence. How could one of the best wrestlers in the state be losing to somebody one hundred pounds lighter than him in the annual school wrestling contest. More importantly, how could Thomas - undefeated in league matches for nearly two years - be losing ....to a girl. Cindy Forrester tightened her hold on Thomas. The five foot five inch, 120 pound gymnast squeezed him with her muscular legs around his waist. Richard tried desperately to pry her legs apart and, only with the greatest amount of effort, managed to do so. Quick as a wink she was on him again, however, putting him into a headlock this time. " What's the matter, tough guy, is the little girl too good for you ", she teased. Again, Thomas had to rely on all of his superior strength to break her hold on him. Cindy knew that she was, slowly but surely, wearing him down. This had been her plan all along. Despite not having his physical strength, she knew that her many years of gymnastics training would give her the stamina she needed to outlast him over the long haul. Relying on her superior speed and intuition to avoid his holds, all she had to do was not get pinned and, she felt, he would eventually weaken to the point where she could defeat him. As their match wore on, her stragety appeared to be working. Thomas was able to break her headlock but was clearly becoming weakened by the effort he was expending. As the crowd of students watched in amazment, the nimble gymnast was forcing the much larger boy to exhaust himself while she - with much greater endurance - seemed, if anything to be getting stronger as the match wore on. Thomas also knew that time was running out for him. Cindy had proven to be a very elusive opponent and he was tiring . If he couldn' t win soon he would have no more strength left; and defeat would be inevitable. How could he - one of the greatest wrestlers in the school's history - be losing to a girl; a girl he outweighted by over 100 pounds. Again and again the attractive 17 year old attacked him, always putting him on the defensive. Thomas had fought good wrestlers before, but no one so relentless as this girl. After several more minutes, she had the exhausted boy in a hammerlock on his stomach. He tried to rest a bit while he lay there but she would have none of that. " Oh no you don't ", she told him," no rest for you until we're finished. You can sleep all you want after I've relieved you of your title - tee, hee, hee ". She increased the pressure on his arm. " If you say auntie, then I'll let you go ". Her constant teasing, plus the fact that almost the entire school was watching - not to mention his girlfriend Joan, the head cheerleader - inspired Thomas to make one last effort. Summoning all of his remaining strength he gave out a mighty heave in an effort to dislodge Cindy. As he rose, she unexpectedly released him and stepped back a short distance. When Thomas staggered to his feet, the star gymnast went into a somersault, sprang up on her hands with her feet first. She wrapped them around his neck and her momentum sent him crashing to the mat, with her sitting on top of him. " Well now big boy, looks like you're in a bit of trouble again, tee, hee, hee ". Thomas tried with his remaining strength to escape, but it was useless... he had nothing left... he was beaten. He lay on his back with Cindy giggling on top of him while the referee called out in a loud voice, " ONE...TWO...THREE !!! The winner by a pin; and the new Madison high school wrestling champion...Cindy Forrester !!! " The girls in the audience exploded, even many of the boys had to admit that the beautiful Cindy, one of the most popular girls in school, really deserved to win. Afterall, she completely outfought the much larger, more powerful boy. As she sat on the exhausted Thomas, Cindy blew kisses to the crowd. She then got up, put her right foot on Thomas' chest and flexed her muscles...the students loved it. Cindy looked down at the beaten, humiliated boy. " I do hope you haven't forgotten our ' private wager ', have you Tommy ? " In a voice barely audible Thomas said," no, I haven't forgotten ". Cindy smiled. She then held out her hand to him which he, after an awkward moment, accepted. After helping him up to his feet she said," good then, I'll expect you to pick me up around 6 P.M....and don't be late ".Cindy made a fist and playfully tapped Thomas on the jaw. Then, turning around towards the cheering crowd, she smiled and waved as she made her way to the girl's locker room. Thomas, head down after his humiliating defeat, slowly made his way to the boy's locker room. At around 6 P.M. that evening there was a knock on the door of Cindy's home. Thomas was on time, as he said he would be. Cindy flashed him a beautiful smile. " Glad you could make it ", she said. " A bet is a bet ", Thomas responded somewhat subdued, " dinner and a movie ". Throughout dinner, Cindy seemed oblivious to the events of that afternoon. To her, it seemed like a normal date. Though Thomas, for obvious reasons, couldn't put their wrestling match behind him; there were moments when Cindy's charm did seem to get the better of him. A straight "A" student, she could converse on just about every subject with ease and authority; she even knew as much about sports as Thomas did. Finally, the urge overcame him. "Cindy, you've been a student at Madison high for two years, what made you decide to challenge me for the school's wrestling title? " Cindy broke out in laughter. " Some of the girls on the gymnastics team dared me to do it. I accepted because it sounded like it would be fun ". Thomas sat there stunned. Cindy had humiliated him in front of the entire school, took away his wrestling title and caused his girlfriend to dumped him; all because of a silly dare. It was only with the greatest amount of restraint that he was able to maintain his composure. Cindy felt the anger inside of him but said nothing...for the moment. After the movie," Charlie's Angels ", Thomas drove Cindy back to her home. As he walked her to the door she turned to him and said, " my parents are away for the weekend, would you like to come in ?" Surprised by this, Thomas replied with more than a trace of anger in his voice," after what you did to me today, what makes you think I want to go inside with you ? " Cindy looked up at him and said, " because Tommy, I know what you want from me more than anything ... I can feel it ". " And what would that be ? ", he asked. She looked him straight in the eye for a moment before answering in her sexiest voice," what you want from me, Tommy... more than anything else...is a rematch. You want to pound me into the pavement for humiliating you in front of everybody, for causing Joan to dump you. So let's stop beating around the bush and get to it ". They entered the house and Cindy led Thomas down to the basement where she had a makeshift gym set up. The only child of two successful lawyers, she spent many long hours down here working out by herself. Her natural athletic ability plus many years of hard work had led her to excell in every sport she ever tried. It wasn't by chance that she was considered one of the best female gymnasts in the state." Since I've already beaten you and taken your title, I want to raise the stakes for our rematch ", Cindy told him." What do you mean ", Thomas asked, perplexed. " If you win, then I'll tell the whole school that you beat me and the wrestling title is yours again. But, if I win, then...you're mine. Deal?" Thomas looked down at the girl that he towered over and outweighed by one hundred pounds. Sure, she'd beaten him eariler in the day; but he had badly underestimated her wrestling abilities and was supremely overconfident. This time he knew what to expect and wouldn't be caught off guard again. " There's no way this little girl could beat me twice, no way in hell ", he thought to himself. " Deal ", he answered. They removed their garments; he striped down to his underwear, she to her panties and bra. Then, facing each other, the rematch began. As Thomas moved slowly towards her he was unnerved somewhat by her composure. Not only was she smiling but she actually appeared to be enjoying the cat - and - mouse game they were playing. The question was: who was the cat and who was the mouse. Thomas tried to back Cindy into a corner. Suddenly, he lounged at her but she quickly darted to the side. Next thing he knew, she grabbed him from behind. Her grip was surprisingly strong for a 120 pound girl. As he struggled to free himself, he heard her say," you know Tommy, after the girls convinced me to challenge you, I took a good look at you for probably the first time and said to myself, " he's kind of cute, I hope he's available ". With a great effort Thomas broke Cindy's hold on him . He charged at her but this time Cindy surprised him by coming right at him. At the last instant she dropped to the mat and rolled into his legs, causing him to fall down. Quick as a wink, she was on top of him and put him into a headlock. " Then when I found out that your girlfriend was that stuck - up bitch Joan I thought, " she doesn't really deserve you, I'll take you away from her ". Thomas struggled hard and finally pried open Cindy's arm from around his neck. She was on her feet in an instant. Thomas, aware that she would try to wear him down again like before, decided not to attack this time and see what Cindy would do. Cindy took a short run, leaped up and grabbed the rings she had installed for her gymnastics training. She swung herself up with her muscular arms and completed a perfect mid - air flip, landing on Thomas' shoulder with her powerful thighs wrapped around his neck. As Thomas tried to pry her legs apart, she comely continued her conversation. " I figured that if I beat you convincingly in front if the whole school, then that fickle Joan would drop you like a hot potato; which she did ". As Cindy tightened her scissors, Thomas lost his balance and fell backward onto the mat with Cindy on top of him. " I really didn't mean to embarrass you in front of everybody Tommy, I guess I just sort of got carried away. You know how it is, with the crowd behind you and all ". Thomas was in trouble. He struggled with all of his strength but he couldn't break Cindy's scissors." Anyway, Joan is history; from now on you're mine handsome ". She playfully tweeked his nose and laughed, " and I 'll give you a rematch whenever you like you big, strong, gorgeous hunk of man you; tee, hee, hee ". Cindy's giggling was the last thing Thomas remembered hearing before he blacked out. When he came to he was lying naked in Cindy 's bed with her on top of him, also naked. " Oh my poor baby ", she cooed. " I 'll have to remember to lighten up on the neck scissors from now on, sometimes I don't even know my own strength ". When he was completely awake, he had to adjust to the new reality in his life. That his relationship with Joan was over and that in her place was this 120 pound supergirl who could, it seems, beat him up anytime she wanted to. Thomas looked up at her and asked meekly, " Cindy, does this mean you'll be replacing me on the wrestling team ? " Cindy kissed him gently, " Why of course not honey. I wouldn't dream of taking your favorite sport away from you. But every once in awhile, if I think that male ego of yours is getting a bit out of control, I may have to take you down to the basement.....for another rematch ".
