MY STEPDAD LAUGHED WHEN I SAID I HAD A PROM DATE - THEN 50 BIKERS ROLLED UP
I stood in the driveway in my rented tux, palms sweaty, waiting for my date. My stepdad Kurt smirked from the porch. "No ride for losers like you. Go back to your room, Darren." Stepmom Brenda cackled beside him. "No girl wants a nobody."
I'd invited Stacy from class, and she said yes. But they locked the car keys away. I was crushed, tears stinging my eyes.
That's when the ground shook. A thunderous roar - 50 Harleys, engines snarling, tearing down the street. Leather-clad giants on massive bikes, skulls on their jackets, beards whipping in the wind. They screeched to a halt right in front of me.
The leader, a mountain of a man with a scarred face and gray-streaked beard—Earl—killed his engine and strode over. "Hop on, kid. You're riding in style tonight."
My jaw hit the asphalt. They handed me a helmet, a custom leather vest with my name stitched on it. Revved up like an army. Police sirens wailed in the distance, but they didn't care. They escorted me straight to the school gym, blocking traffic, horns blaring.
Stacy's eyes went wide when I rolled up like a rockstar. Bullies parted like the Red Sea. We danced, everyone staring.
Then Kurt and Brenda burst in, furious. "This ends now!" Kurt yelled, lunging toward me.
Earl stepped between us, grabbed the DJ mic. The music cut. The whole gym froze.
"This boy's no loser," Earl boomed, voice like gravel. "He's my blood. My grandson. And that DNA test in my pocket? It proves Kurt ain't his dad—"
Kurt's face drained of color. Brenda gasped. But when Earl pulled out the envelope and read the next line, my heart stopped...
