Subject: Loving Demetrius

Chapter 1
Trip to San Antonio

I honestly don't know if I can write this story from beginning to end. I
will try to remember all the events as they happened, and illustrate them
as best I can. This story is a true one, and happened Summer of 2009 in
Southern Texas. His name was Demetrius, and I called him Demetri. And we
loved each other.

My Junior year I worked at Pizza Hut. I was involved in Orchestra,
Mariachi, Guitar Choir, Swimming, worked Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays,
Sundays, and Mondays, and took three college classes, so I guess you can
say I had a lot on my shoulders. I was Vice President of Mariachi and
Section leader of the Viola Section in the Varsity Orchestra. I'm 5'10 and
weigh 135 pounds, so I'm relatively thin. I have curly/wavy light brown
hair. I have honey colored eyes, and am fit from swimming.

The whole year I had been making payments to go on a trip to San Antonio
with Orchestra at the end of the year, the total amount coming out to
around six hundred dollars. It was scheduled in late May, and I love to
travel, so I couldn't wait to go on the trip. I wouldn't say I was popular,
but people at school looked up to me. I was talented musically and rather
smart, so people thought highly of me. Everyone in Orchestra knew me, so
when the trip finally came, I was excited to have fun with all my Orchestra
friends.

We went on a Charter Bus, the whole trip taking about six hours. When I
first got on the bus after I loaded my luggage underneath the bus, I saw
this cute young guy sitting alone towards the entrance of the bus. I had
never seen him before, and this surprised me. I thought I had known
virtually everyone in both Orchestras, but I found out I didn't. I passed
by him to go sit with my friends in the back, and asked some of them who
the heck that guy was. "Oh, that's Demetri" said my friend Wendy. "He
doesn't talk much; he goes to IB, that school for G.T. kids, but comes here
for Orchestra. Even there he doesn't have many friends."

I found that strange, because really he was the cutest thing, and seemed
polite and nice whenever he had to speak to anyone. I pushed it out of my
mind though, because I paid lots of money to have fun on the trip, not to
be sidetracked by this guy who I didn't even know. The bust trip took
forever, and we watched movies and played games on our DS's. We made
several stops for food breaks and such, and before I knew it we were
approaching the city limits of San Antonio. We did several activities
before checking into our hotel, one of them was going up to the top of this
tower and looking down at the whole city. Demetri was there by himself,
looking at this oracle coin machine curiously. I went up to it while he was
looking at it, put in a quarter, and got my fortune. I read it aloud, and
Demetri laughed after I finished reading it. I looked at him and said
"These things are funny huh?" "They're shams obviously, and are pointless"
he replied. I looked at
 him more closely then, and saw his beautiful dark brown eyes, his straight
brown hair, his perfect white smile, and his slender frame. He was a few
inches shorter than I was, so I had to look a bit lower than eye level. I
think I stared at him to long, because he then nervously turned from my
gaze and walked away.

I then went back to my friends to look at the amazing view below, took
loads of pictures, and headed back for the bus. We checked into our hotel,
and then a friend and I went to the pool. This friend was a year older than
I, and extremely built and cute, but straight, so I didn't even bother. I
still checked him out of course. As we were getting out of the pool,
Demetri came with his trunks and shirt into the pool room. I had my shirt
off, showing my slight four pack, and he looked at it and shyly turned away
to get ready to get into the pool. I said to him "You should've came with
us; we had a blast in the pool and Jacuzzi" I slyly said. He responded
"Maybe we can come together later" and smiled at me. I nodded, and went
back to my room.

After the hotel, we went to do various activities in downtown San
Antonio. We went to play a lazer maze game, and a mirror maze as well. I
did all this with my friends, and when we were about to leave it started to
rain. Demetri was stuck with us in that "fun-house" location as well, all
by himself. For some reason I have this thing for talking to people who are
shy or don't have anyone else to talk to, probably because I used to be
like that myself when I was younger. I went up to him and asked him if he
was having fun that day, and he nervously replied "Yeah, it was okay I
guess. I'm not really good much at physical activities, and my mom kinda
made me come to this trip, but it's going fine I suppose." "Really? You
were FORCED to come? I paid all this money just to be here, and I'm having
a blast" I happily replied to him. We started talking about the games we
had played, and our best times in both mazes. Then it finally stopped
raining, and we were
 able to get back on the bus a few streets down. The teacher scolded us for
being so late, but we weren't in any trouble really.

Demetri got back on the bus first, by himself again. I decided to sit next
to him, for I found him interesting and above all cute. He looked shocked
that I sat next to him, and he asked "Um... Why are you sitting next to ME?
Nobody ever really wants to talk to me." "I do" I replied, and busted out
my DS to show him a game I had. He smiled when I told him that I wanted to
sit next to him because I found him interesting and funny, and he seemed
overjoyed by my words. I could tell that he liked me, at least in a
friendly way. At that point in my head, I decided that we would be close
friends, and I would be sure to make that happen.

Starting from that day on, we spent as much time together as possible. My
friends were a bit upset with me for abandoning them, but at the same time
were amazed that I got Demetri to talk at all. The last day at San Antonio
we went to Six Flags. At first it was Demetri, myself, Wendy, and a few
other people who stuck together. Eventually it was just Demetri and I, and
I wanted it that way. We went on all the rides together, and as we finally
decided to go to the Waterpark, it started to rain, thus closing down the
entire amusement park. But we had changed into our swimming gear before it
started to rain, and I was amazed at Demetri's smooth torso. He wasn't fat
or muscular, but rather beautifully curved. I learned that he was a
Freshman as we talked, so he was even thinner than I was, but it turned me
on all the more. When it started to pour, we found refuge in the bathroom
near where we were. We were alone in the bathroom, and I felt his eyes on
my body
 as my eyes were on his. When we both noticed this, we looked away
pretending as if we were looking at something else. As I was about to make
a move, a man in his twenties came in with his young son. We all waited
there for the rain to subside before venturing out again.

Finally on the way back to McAllen, I was glad to almost be home. The trip
had exhausted me, but I had the greatest time there. I had never been to
San Antonio before, and was glad that I paid the money to have such an
incredible experience with my friends and Demetri. Before we left back for
our houses after being dropped off by the bus, Demetri gave me his cell
phone number so we could keep in touch. I smiled and hugged him goodbye,
and hopped into my car as my dad rolled around the curb to pick me up. I
couldn't wait to get home to text him.

At this point, I wasn't sure if he was gay or not, or even if he liked
me. He wasn't one of those obvious gay guys who you could tell by their
movements or voices, which I kind of am at points. I liked him, maybe more
than I should've, but I still did nothing to show him that I was gay or
liked him, so I felt that we could be friends at least.

Little did I know of the amazing summer that was to come: my first love, my
first sexual experience, and my first heartbreak. Looking back I wouldn't
do anything differently, except to appreciate the love that I had for him,
my Demetri.
