Summary
     John's not like the other kids at school.
Notes
See the end of the work for notes
While it was pretty unlikely that John's Cycle would match that of his
roommate, it wasn't utterly unheard of. And so no one thought too much of it
when Geoff (Geoffry Price-Random III) and John holed up in their room for four
days, coming out long enough to toss their sheets into the hallway and grab the
food that had been left outside the door. They were sophomores and they were
hardly the only students at Phillips going through it; half their classmates
had their first Cycles that Fall.
John hated it and that was weird. He'd never heard of anyone disliking sex,
particularly at his age. Oh sure, there was the whole being out of control
thing; a lot of people said they hated that. But the thing was, John wasn't out
of control. He was aware of everything that was happening and he didn't feel
any of the overwhelming need they'd all been warned about in Health classes.
That Geoff felt it was clear, by the time they were done, John felt like he'd
been run over by a semi.
Five days later, Megan Holtman slammed him up against the wall of the library
and it was the same thing all over again. She was frenzied, grinding against
his leg and biting at his lip and sure, John got hard--he had an armful of
horny girl, for God's sake--but he didn't absolutely need her the way she
obviously needed him.
He let her get off on him and even went back to her room with her. It wasn't
her first Cycle and it was shorter than Geoff's had been and of course she
couldn't exactly fuck him but he still felt like roadkill at the end of it. He
also felt a little scared, because it hadn't felt like a matter of life or
death to him and that meant that there was something wrong with him.
After giving him a day to recover, he was called into the nurse's office. When
he saw Jennifer Simon sitting there with Nurse Anderson, he knew exactly what
was wrong with him. Jennifer's official title was "Nurse's Assistant," but most
of the kids referred to her as the school bike and other, even more offensive
terms.
Which might have explained why the first thing John said was, "Oh God, I'm a
bike."
Years later, long after he'd forgotten everything else that was said at the
meeting, John still remembered the look of pain that crossed Jennifer's face.
