Steve and Jon joined the rest of the class, making their way over to Karyn, whose eyes widened at the arrival of Steve. "What is he doing here?" she hissed at Jon.
"Well, Steve sorta woke up with the ring and the same problem as me," Jon explained. "Then he saw me wearing one, and kinda figured out you were wearing one too. But it's okay, he figured out a way for us to avoid drawing any attention to our problem."
Karyn chuckled at thought of Steve Farber, the most virulent boy in school, losing his penis. She glanced over at Steve. She supposed they were all in the same boat. "Alright, but whatever you have in your pants, I expect it to stay there!" she told to Steve.
"Relax, I know how to keep my priorities straight," Steve said.
The three turned their attention to gym class. Class was nothing out of the ordinary, a good bit of running and a few watered down sporting games. Jon never excelled in physical fitness, but he found himself lagging behind most his peers today more than usual. More than anything, he just didn't feel motivated. He was far more intent just watching the others go at it than participate himself.
Towards the end of class Steve headed over to Jon. "You know you might attract attention if you keep staring at all the guys like that." Steve said.
"What?" Jon said, surprised. "I'm not staring, I'm just spectating."
"Yes, well, you're spectating tends to be focused upon the more muscular and masculine members of the class."
"Really?" Jon asked. "I didn't really notice. I'll try not to look too much."
"Well keep that in mind for the locker rooms. No one will pay attention to you if you just do the towel trick as normal, but they might not like it if you stare at them while they change more completely."
"Right, right..." Jon said, feeling both a mixture of worry that he'd been apparently staring at the guys all class period and a slight tinge of disappointment.
