Prologue

	Home, finally. Hell on Earth had ended for the day, thank god.
Aaron sighed as he sat down on his bed. "My life is so fucked up" he said
out loud. Then the phone rang - it was Leah, his current girlfriend.
"Yeah" he answered.  "Oh my god I'm so mad, you didn't come talk to me in
the hall at all today!  I thought you were supposed to love me! If this is
how its going to be, this relationship is over!" she screeched over the
phone. Bitch, Aaron thought.  Why did I ever say yes to her? "Whatever" was
his answer. It was greeted with more screeching and then crying, and ended
in her slamming down the phone. As he sat and listened to the dial tone,
Aaron felt relieved. It wasn't ever real anyway - he knew he didn't like
any girls (especially her). Guys had always been his attraction, but he was
far too afraid to admit that to anyone. Tears began to well up in his eyes
as he thought about it. "I just want to be myself, not to hide who I am
from everyone", he said as he cried into the pillow. Aaron had many
"friends" at school, but he was close to none of them. He had to face life
by himself, all alone. All of that was going to change though. Aaron would
meet Garrett, and both of their lives would be turned upside down. This is
their story.

Chapter I

	"Welcome, back students. We hope you have a great first day" said the voice
over the intercom. The first day of Aaron's senior year of High School. One
more year, he thought. I make it through this, and then I will be free. His
thoughts were interrupted by the tardy bell. As his Physics teacher, Mrs.
Garrison, was getting up to call roll, someone came in late. He was about
5'9" with curly black hair and a golden tan. "What is your name?" the
teacher asked at this late arrival. "Garrett" was his answer. "Find a seat,
and don't be late again" she snapped. He came and sat down next to Aaron, in
the back of the class. Oh god, Aaron thought. He is so hot, please, let me
be able to keep from embarrasing myself. Garrett turned around and asked
Aaron his name. After Aaron told him, he smiled a smile that would make
almost anyone's heart skip a beat. I want to get to know him so much, Aaron
thought to himself. But I can't, because I'll just fuck everything up. The
rest of the day went by fairly fast for Aaron, since he was a little
preoccupied with thoughts about Garrett. All he could think about was
tomorrow's homeroom. When he got home, Aaron sat down on the couch and
started some deep thinking. He knew what he was feeling now was lust, but he
wondered if it could turn to love. "I guess that would depend on Garrett,
wouldn't it?" he thought out loud. "I have to get to know him without making
him think that I'm gay." But how? After a mostly sleepless night, Aaron got
out of bed early to get ready for his second day at school. Instead of
taking the usual 5 minute shower, he took a 20 minute one. Everything had to
be perfect. After he had checked everything to make sure it was just right,
Aaron got in his car and drove off to school. He parked in the senior lot,
and as he was getting out of his car (not paying attention), he stepped into
a puddle of spilled oil. In an instant, he lost his footing and fell face
first onto the parking lot and into the oil. Damn, he thought. I worked so
hard, and now it's all ruined. He started to softly cry, and then he felt
someone try to help him get up. He had no idea who it was until he wiped off
his eyes. When he saw, he almost passed out. It was Garrett. "You ok man?"
he asked. "Yeah, I guess so" was the only response Aaron could muster up.
Great, the one person that matters is the one who had to see me, he thought.
"Hey, well I have some extra clothes in my locker for athletics. I can just
not dress out today. You look about the same size as me, you want to wear
them?" asked Garrett. "Uhh, yeah if it's ok, I guess" said Aaron, just a
little suprised. "Well ok, you wait here and I'll go get them. Be back in a
sec." Garrett gave another one of those great smiles as he walked off
towards the gym. Aaron didn't know what to think. He isn't like the other
people here, that's for sure. While he was thinking, Garrett came back with
some of his clothes. He suggested that Aaron go to the gym to change,
because it was closest. Garrett followed him in, and, because it was so
early in the morning, they were the only ones there.

How sould I continue on? Should there be more introductory, or should they
go ahead and get together? I had it all planned out one way, but the more I
think, the more I like the other. So, you get to choose! Email me
