CHAPTER 2

Ben was exhausted and he ached all over. Still he’d agreed to wash Tyler’s car in order to work off some the demerits he racked up. He gave thanks that Tyler drove a Porsche instead a Hummer. It took him about 45 minutes. The car hadn’t looked that dirty to begin with and in the stark light of the garage it looked pretty good. Conscious of the ticking clock, Ben went to find Tyler in the frat house. One of the other brothers escorted him upstairs and left him in front of Tyler’s door. He knocked softly.

“Awesome Brother Tyler?”

“Come in,” Tyler’s voice boomed from inside.

Ben entered to find Tyler sprawled on his bed reading a magazine. Ben noticed he’d changed clothes. For the party he’d been wearing jeans and a long sleeve blue checked shirt and now he was only wearing some gray cotton shorts and a red t-shirt.

“What’s up scum?” Tyler asked without looking up.

“Excuse me Awesome Brother Tyler but I’ve finished washing your car,” Ben explained.

Tyler tossed the magazine aside and stood up. “Well I guess I can go check your work.”

“Thank you Awesome Brother Tyler,” Ben said.

“Grab my flip flops from the scum,” Tyler ordered nodding toward the closet.

Ben didn’t realize he’d be expected to fetch and carry for the brothers but compared to the other annoying tasks it was pretty simple. He went to the closet, fetched a pair of sandals and handed them to Tyler. Or at least he tried to. Tyler made no move to take them.

“Not very smart are you scum?” Tyler snapped. “I said I flip flops. These are sandals.”

“I’m sorry Awesome Brother Tyler sir,” Ben apologized as he went back to the closet and found the flip flops. “Here they are.”

Again Tyler made no move to take them.

“Aren’t these the right ones?” Ben asked.

Tyler cocked his head. “I think you forgot how to address a member of Tau Kappa Delta scum.” Ben swore to himself. “I’m sorry Awesome Brother Tyler sir,” Ben apologized.

“That’s better,” Tyler said.

Ben still held the flip flops out to him but Tyler just gave him a condescending look. “Do you think those go on my hands dumbass?”

“Ummm no Awesome Brother Tyler,” Ben said somewhat flustered. He bent down and placed the flip flops in front of Tyler’s feet.

Tyler looked down at them and said, “They’re backwards. Can’t you tell my right foot from my left foot?” Ben bent and fixed them. “I’m sorry Awesome Brother Tyler.”

Finally Tyler seemed satisfied and slipped his feet into the flip flops and headed downstairs without another word. Ben followed silently. Tyler strolled out back and made a good show of examining Ben’s work. But Ben had actually done a decent enough job so there wasn’t much to criticize.

“Well it’s not waxed,” Tyler drawled, “But I did just say wash didn’t I? I’ll have to be more specific next time. Okay, I guess you get the 10 points.”

Ben breathed a small sigh of relief.

“Thank you Awesome Brother Tyler,” Ben said.

“So that puts you at 0 again,” Tyler said.

Ben was okay with that. At least he wasn’t 15 points behind. It was almost midnight and he was bone tired but it had been worth it.

“Too bad you forgot to refer to me as Awesome Brother Tyler,” he said. “That’s going to cost you another 5 points.”

Ben was too stunned to speak which was probably a good thing because he would certainly have forgotten to use the proper words.

“And,” Tyler continued, “I kind of have to deduct points for the flips flops because that was really fucking stupid.”

Ben gritted his teeth to stop himself from shouting at Tyler.

“So let’s say 3 points for each flip flop so that’s 6 total plus the other 5 so that brings you down to -11 I think,” Tyler said with a grin.

Ben couldn’t believe it. All the work to was the car and he was worse off than when he started. He was furious but he had enough presence of mind not to yell and make the situation worse. He composed himself and then said, “Please Awesome Brother Tyler that doesn’t seem very fair.”

Tyler raised an eyebrow. “Are you complaining about the way TKD is evaluating candidates for our limited openings?”

Ben realized that was a pointed reminder about why he was going through this ordeal and he opted to tread carefully.

“No, of course not Awesome Brother Tyler,” he clarified. “I was just wondering if there was some way for me to earn some of those points back.”

Tyler gave Ben a long look and then said, “Look Ben I know this is important to you and I can see how hard you’re trying to earn your place here. I’m just trying to keep it fair. We make it hard to get into TKD so the ones who get to join are the best of the best. I just can’t cut you any slack. I’m sure you understand that. I’ll understand if you don’t want to continue because it’s probably only gonna get rougher.”

Tyler hoped Ben would just take the opportunity to bail but he underestimated how important Ben’s father’s approval was to the kid.

“Thank you Awesome Brother Tyler but I am determined to continue.” Ben said.

Tyler fumed silently. He’d find some way to make this fucker quit.

“Right then scum,” he continued in a stern tone. “You’re at -11 points.”

“Yes sir Awesome Brother Tyler. What I can do to earn more points?” Ben asked.

The TKD VP was so angry he just said the first thing that popped into his head. “Tell you what,” Tyler snapped, “You can work your way back to 0 by getting on your knees and kissing my feet.”

Ben was in shock at the suggestion and for a moment he had no idea what to say. Tyler had actually surprised himself with the idea but once he saw Ben’s reaction he pressed it because he was sure that he would he quit rather than debase himself like that. Tyler knew he would. What self-respecting person would kiss someone’s feet?

“I guess you don’t want it bad enough,” Tyler taunted.

Ben warred with himself. How far was he willing to go to get into this fraternity and earn his father’s respect? He knew Tyler was walking a fine line. He had to be tough to be fair to all the candidates but this was the second time he’d given Ben an opportunity to work off some debts. But still. Kissing someone’s feet? It was so gross. Could he even do it? It would be over quick though. He’d worked for almost an hour to wash a car for 10 points. Now Tyler was offering to let him work off 11 points in one quick shot.

Tyler watched Ben struggle over his proposal. He decided to force him to make a decision.

“The offer expires in 5 seconds,” Tyler warned as he began to count down.

Ben looked at Tyler who had a strange grin.

“5…4…” Tyler counted.

He glanced at the frat house. There were a few lights still on but it was almost midnight and everything was quiet. They were out back by the garage and there was no one else around. It wasn’t like he had to do it in public. Tyler was giving him the opportunity to do it in private.

“3…2…” Tyler continued.

And finally, he looked down at Tyler’s feet. He was wearing the flip flops Ben had fetched for him earlier. Tyler was a big guy. Taller and more muscular than Ben. His feet were big too. Maybe a size 12. They didn’t look dirty or nasty. They were tanned and the nails were well groomed.

“1” Tyler finished.

“I’ll do it.” Ben said as he quickly knelt down and quickly kissed Tyler’s right foot. It was over before he knew it. He stood up and faced Tyler.

Tyler couldn’t believe it. The little wimp actually kissed his foot. Dammit! He was sure it was a line he wouldn’t cross. He thought furiously and suddenly an idea occurred to him.

“That was a tough challenge Ben,” Tyler said in a friendly tone.

Ben nodded. “Yes Awesome Brother Tyler. It really was.”

“But that’s what this is all about right.” Tyler continued. “Risk vs. reward. You might come out ahead or behind.”

Ben nodded.

“I’m glad you understand,” Tyler said. “You took the risk and because of that I’m only going to give you 4 demerits.”

“What???” Ben sputtered. “But I kissed your feet like you said!”

Tyler shook his head. “You were supposed to kiss my feet but you didn’t.”

“Yes I did!” Ben whined. He didn’t understand why Tyler was doing this.

“No Ben. I told you to kiss my feet but you only kissed one foot. You failed.” Tyler said a grin.

Ben froze. Tyler was right. He’d blown the challenge. Tyler watched as Ben’s face crumbled in defeat.

Tyler grinned as he looked at Ben’s sad expression. He went in for the kill.

“Look dude you’re getting so far behind it’s going to be hard to catch up. You’re at -15 points now and most everyone else is 20 points ahead of you.” Tyler laid it on thick. He placed one large strong hand on Ben’s shoulder and said, “Okay, it’s only fair to give you the same deal. So listen carefully okay? You can work your way back to 0 by getting on your knees and kissing my feet.”

Ben was so mad at himself for screwing up yet another challenge but Tyler was giving him yet another chance. He wasn’t going to mess up again. He couldn’t believe he was going to kiss Tyler’s feet again but he’d already done it once. At least he’d kissed one foot before. How bad could kissing another be? It would be over in a second.

“Okay,” Ben said slowly. “I’ll do it.”

Tyler smiled. “Go for it dude.”

Once again Ben knelt down in front of Tyler. But just before he bent down Tyler said, “Oh and make sure you make it real kiss this time so it counts. You don’t want any more demerits.”

Still on his knees Ben looked up at Tyler. “What do you mean?”

“You have to kiss my feet. Not just a quick peck like before. That’s the whole point dude. If it were easy there’d be no point.”

Ben felt a little sick to his stomach. Of course, he should have realized it couldn’t be easy. Tyler saw the look on Ben’s face and realized he had him right where he wanted.

“Okay Ben, now kiss my feet.” Tyler ordered.

Ben moved almost like a robot. He bent down to Tyler’s right foot and kissed it. Really kissed it. Pressed his lips firmly against the top of Tyler’s foot and kissed with an audible smack. Unlike before when it happened so quick this time he was acutely aware that he was kissing another guy’s feet. He saw Tyler’s foot in detail as he bent down. Saw the way his toes spread in the flip flop. Saw the fine hairs on the tops of his feet. Felt those same hairs brush against his lips. Smelled the unmistakable odor of feet. Tasted the salty tang from Tyler’s skin. It was the exact opposite of the last time. Now it seemed to last forever. As if the whole process was going in slow motion just so he could experience every humiliating detail. And then finally it was over as he pulled his lips away.

And then from above, Tyler’s voice. “Good, now the left foot.” And then Ben went through it all again. When Ben finished he just knelt there for a second thinking about what he’d just done. He still felt sick. “Congrats dude,” Tyler said.

Shakily Ben got to his feet.

“Oh man, I thought you were going to do the whole thing,” Tyler said in a disappointed tone.

Ben just looked at him. “What do you mean? I kissed your feet right? I did it.”

Tyler nodded. “Yeah, I didn’t think you could go through with it but you did. I just thought you do it all.” Still confused, Ben asked, “What do you mean all?”

“All the points,” Tyler said as if that explained everything. Seeing Ben’s continued look of confusion Tyler added, “I said you could work your way back to 0 by getting on your knees and kissing my feet. I just figured if you were going to do it then you might as well do it for all 15 points instead of just 1.”

Ben couldn’t believe it. “One point? You said I would go to 0 if I kissed your feet!”

Tyler shook his head, “No dude, I said you could work your way back to 0. Each time only counts for 1 point. I was just giving you an opportunity to work them all off if you kept kissing my feet. You only did it once so you only get one point. You were at -15 so now you’re at -14. I guess that’s better but I really thought you were going to take advantage of the opportunity to get back in the running.”

Ben just stared at Tyler blankly. One point? He’d kissed Tyler’s feet for one point? He felt like throwing up. He was never going to be a member of TKD like his dad.

Tyler looked at Ben. The dumbass looked like he was going to lose his lunch. Small wonder since he’d been down on the ground kissing his feet. He was kind of amazed he actually did it. Still, with this final setback he had to realize he was never going to get into the frat. Tyler was certain he’d finally pack it in.

“Go home Ben. Maybe tomorrow you’ll win one of the competitions with the guys.” Tyler turned to head back to the house.

“Wait!” Ben pleaded. Ben knew he was never going to win against of those jock pledges. With these private challenges Tyler was giving him his only chance of getting in.

“Give me another chance.” Ben asked.

Tyler couldn’t believe it. Was this idiot really asking for the same thing? “What do you mean?” Tyler asked.

“Let me do it again. I’ll kiss your feet and work off every point I swear.”

Dammit! Tyler thought. The kid just didn’t know when to quit. The little fucker was actually willing to kiss his feet over and over again just to try and get in. Tyler was pissed. Since he couldn’t legitimately wash Ben out he had to get him to quit. He’d have to let him catch up in the points some to make it close again. Fine, he’d let him work his way out of the hole but Tyler wasn’t going to make it easy.

“Ben I’ve already given you two chances.” Tyler said, “If I just keep letting you try over and over again without consequences then it becomes unfair for the other guys.”

Ben understood that Tyler couldn’t break the rules for him. Just maybe bend them a bit. “I understand,” Ben said. “I’ll accept the consequences.”

Tyler thought about it for a second. “Okay then. Tell you what, here’s the new deal. You can buy another chance to work your way to 0 by getting on your knees and kissing my feet but if you even want to take the opportunity then it will cost you 5 points. You have to do it just like before. You have to really kiss each foot. No cheating. I decide if it counts. No do-overs. Each time you kiss my feet earns you 1 point. But this time you have to tell me in advance how many times you’re going to do it. If you don’t meet or exceed that number then you get none of the points and have to take a 20 point penalty. It’s your call but you better be sure dude.”

Ben thought about it. He was already at -14. If he took the challenge it would cost him 5 and put him at - 19. That meant he’d have to kiss each foot 19 times for 38 total. If he succeeded he’d go to 0 and be within 5 points of the others. If he failed he’d go to -29. He didn’t plan on failing but he wanted to understand all the rules.

“If I fail is the challenge still available?” Ben asked.

Tyler thought it over and then nodded. “Sure. Since there’s risk vs. reward you can try as many times as you want.”

“You said I had to meet or exceed the number I tell you I’m going for. Do I get anything for exceeding it?” Ben asked.

Tyler shook his head. “No that wouldn’t be fair. Then you could just pick a low number to beat and then rack up points. So no, if you go over you get nothing for those extras. It’s just an incentive for you to keep track. By the way I will be in charge of counting and I will not be counting out loud and neither can you so if you lose track you better make sure you go over versus under.”

Ben thought about that. That made things trickier. He could really screw this up. If he was going to do it then he should make sure it was worth it.

Tyler seemed to be getting impatient though.

“Just two more questions,” Ben promised. “You said I could take the challenge as many times as I wanted if I failed. What if I succeed?”

Tyler smirked. “Nice try. If I let you do that you could just keep doing it little by little without the risk of screwing up. No dice.”

Damn. Tyler was smart. That was exactly what Ben was hoping for. He wanted to beat the TKDs at their own game.

“You said I could work my way to zero. Is there any way you would let me work my way higher?” Ben asked. This was crucial. If he was only going to get one shot at this he needed to make the most of it.

Tyler mulled that over. “The whole idea was that this was a special opportunity to get you back to a level playing field. Giving you an opportunity the others don’t have to get ahead wouldn’t really be fair.”

Ben sighed.

“However,” Tyler continued, “since you are in last place I’ll amend the offer. You can work your way up to 5 where most everyone is BUT every challenge completion for scores above zero counts as only 1/10 of a point and fractional points will not be awarded. That means if you only get 9 out of 10 you missed it. And I’m through answering questions so either take the deal or not.”

Ben was trying to do all the math in his head. “Yes, I accept the challenge.”
