".........there either is or is not a way things are. The color of the day, the way it felt to be a child.......the feeling of saltwater on your sunburned legs......sometimes the water is yellow.....sometimes it's red........but what color it may be in memory..........depends on the day. ......i'm not going to tell the story the way that it happened...... ...............i'm going to tell it the way I remember it...." Great Expectations...1999 Chapter I: In The Beginning....... This all started when I was about 13 years old. My older sister Martha and her boyfriend Jake owned a CD shop in The City. We didn't make a lot of money, but we made enough to keep clothing on our backs and food on the table. All things considered I was pretty happy. My name is Seth. My parents had died about 5 years ago in a car accident coming home from a party at a friend's house. It was so sudden, and me being only 8 years old at the time, I took it pretty hard. I miss them terribly, but I am getting by now. My sister who was already in her 20s took care of me. Now 13 years old....black hair, blue eyes the color of the sky on a clear and beautiful day, with little brown freckles around my nose and cheeks. My sister was always telling me how much of a cutie I was, but god it's my sister. Some of the girls in school thought I was cute, but I just wasn't interested. Even though I showed no interest in girls, I didn't exactly catch a boner every time I thought a guy that was cute either. My sister said that I was late bloomer. She showed that she loved me and told me no matter what happened, her feelings wouldn`t change. She said that I would always be her little "ankle-bitter". Like I said I was pretty much indifferent to girls and guys....I just wanted to have fun. That was until the day that he walked in. It all started off innocently enough. When he walked into the shop with a few of his friends. I was just sweeping up when all of a sudden a squeaky voice just sort of said "....excuse me....". When I looked up it was like WHAM!!! His eyes caught a hold of me and wouldn't let me go. I just stared at him and couldn't take my eyes off of him. He was the most beautiful thing that I had ever seen. Green eyes, brown hair with kind of a reddish hue to it. Fair skin, nice full lips, and the cutest little button nose that you ever would have wanted to see. We just stared at each other for the longest time. I had never seen him before, but in that instance....I knew that I wanted to know him forever. One of his friends was laughing at a joke that must have been passed around amongst the others and just put his hands around his shoulder and ask him if he found out where the CD was. He called him Shane. His friend jarred him out of the daze, but I was hooked. All I could muster is to point my finger in a direction, I don't even know what CD they were looking for. But his friend pulled him away with him and they just kept talking and laughing while I just looked at him. From the first time since I saw him I finally got a chance to see his whole body. He looked to be about my age. Even though he had baggy clothes on you could see that he was slim by the way that the clothes hung off of his body. He was trying not to stare at me, but he kept on sneaking peaks back at me. I didn't have that problem, as I couldn't take my eyes off of him for one second. The rest of the store didn't get swept up because I only stood in one spot. I stared at him as he laughed at whatever his friends were laughing at. When they left, I was still floored by this kids beauty. I knew his name was Shane, and I was determined if anything to meet this kid. Hell I would have given my left foot just to know what kind of soap he used. I still had to do my work at the shop. I was scheduled to be there for another 3 hours. After I was done I decided that I would look around the neighborhood and see if I could find him or his friends. No such luck, I couldn't find him. Even though I wanted to see the guy again, I didn't. Life went on. I didn't think that my life was gonna end if I didn`t see him again. Even though he was hands down the most beautiful boy I have ever seen. But what could I do, the only thing that I knew about this kid was his first name. I wanted to see him again, but I guess fate had other plans, so I just chalked it up as a lose, and figured never to see this guy again. About a week and a half later I was working the CD shop on a Saturday while my sister stepped out to do some shopping. I had just finished ringing up a customer when all of a sudden in walked the kid....Shane, with about 4 other customers. I saw that he was sneaking peeks at me while pretending to look for some CD's. I figured that I was not gonna let this chance slip away. I was gonna meet him even if I was gonna make a fool of myself. I was the only one in the shop and decided that I would help the consumers out. I made a straight line over to Shane. Walking over to Shane I was so nervous. My palms were sweating and I was getting pretty warm under the collar. But it was now or never. "hi....." "hello..." "can I help you with something...?" "oh.....no.....I think I have it......" he said with a weak smile holding up a CD "Liza Maneli's Greatest Hits?" I smiled.. "oh....no.....sorry..." He fidgeted as he nervously put the CD back on the rack to pick up the Limp Bizkut CD. "this one....." he smiled at me while he showed me the new CD. "my names' Seth..." as I stuck my hand out to shake his. "Shane...." I was shaking so bad I thought I would have shaken all of the loose change that he had in his pockets. His hand was so warm and soft. I almost melted right there. I just stared in his eyes and smiled. He did the same. Just then the phone rang. Waking me from my daydream. I ran to the front of the store to answer the phone. While I was talking Shane had left the store. I was disappointed that I had missed him leave, but on the register was a slip of paper that read...."nice to meet you Seth..." I just looked at the paper and smiled. Shane came back to the store a few more times. Each time we talked to each other a little more. I found out that he lived in the heart of the city. That he went to Bedford Academy. A prep school in the country. This school was known for it's members families being the richest in the whole country. Why he came downtown to slum it out with a poor kid like me I didn't know. I wanted it to be for obvious other reasons. I mean I knew that I liked Shane. He was gorgeous. But I was still not sure about what that meant for me. Whether I wanted to do something with him, or if I just wanted to be near him. I know that I was happier when he was around. That it felt good when he would laugh at something that I had said. But I still didn't know if I wanted something more. Over the course of time I guess that we started to get pretty familiar with each other. Not friends mind you, but I did notice that he started to come to the shop a lot more than he used to. Then one Friday while walking past a building, he was just coming home from school. He was in a uniform. We greeted each other and he asked me if I wanted to come up. I of course said yes even though I had to be to work at the shop in about a half hour. The door man greeted both me and him as he held the door for us to enter. On the ride up the elevator to his apartment, the conversation was casual. When we walked into the apartment, my jaw was floored. The only thing that I could say was wow. The place looked more like a museum than an apartment, and it was huge. He said that there were only two apartments to each floor. He lead me to his room and asked me if I wanted to look at TV, play some video games, or just listen to music. I opted the video game. He started the video game while he went to get changed into some more comfortable clothes. His uniform wasn't as baggy as his regular clothes. You could actually see his body. He had the cutest little butt. That put me a little on the defensive. Here the guy just invited me up to his place, and the only thing that I could do is check him out. I had to cool it. When he returned he was wearing a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. He had no hair on his legs and they looked firm. Not too muscular, but firm. I saw a little of his stomach as he was pulling his shirt down, just a tease of flesh, but enough to know that he didn't have any hair on his stomach. I was sitting on the floor just playing some fighting game. He could have sat on the bed or in one of the chairs in his room, but he sat down next to me on the floor. As we played the game you could tell that he was getting into it. Moving his body all around and getting closer to me with every movement and jerk of his body. Soon enough we were touching with every movement that we made with the game. After about 15 or so games we put the controllers down and just talked a little. You know the usual......school.....friends...parents. He told me about when his father died when he was 9 years old , and I told him about my parents. We both talked about how hard it was when his dad died, and my parents died. When he asked me if I had a girlfriend...I just looked down at the floor and said no. I looked up at him to return to question to him and meet his eyes. He just continued to look at me and shook his head no. We stared at each other for I don't know how long. There was no one there to stop us from staring at each other either. Just then my cell phone went off. As I answered it was my sister. She wanted to know where I was, since I was supposed to be at the shop about 20 minutes ago. She said that she had to go to the bank and buy some food for dinner tonight, and that Jake wouldn't be back from his job for about another hour. She wanted to get to the bank before it closed. ".........ummm.....I gotta get to work......." "okay, I will talk to you later." "Okay...see you later." "...Seth, do you want to come back by later maybe?" "Maybe...I will ask my sister if I can....call me later tonight." "It's a deal..." I collected my things and was on my way to the door. I almost knocked over a woman on my way out of the building. I muttered some type of apology and just kept going. To say the least that my mind was elsewhere was an understatement. On the home....I just thought. I mean I knew at this point that I liked Shane more than anyone that I had ever met in my entire life. But I was scared beyond anything that I had ever felt in my life. What did this mean? Was I gay? Did I want to have sex with him? I know that me and Shane didn't do anything, and I know that all we did was stare at each other, but it was weird. I know that I wanted to do more than stare at that moment. When we touched as we moved when we were playing the game. It was like electricity going through my body with each touch. I didn't exactly know what I was feeling, but I know that I wanted to do more than just touch him, but what, and more importantly, did he feel the same way? What would he think of me if he knew what I was thinking? I thought of doing something like that with a guy. I never even knew that I could feel that way about another person. But it is wrong to feel this way, right? I mean last month I remember a kid, named Greg got beat up. It was after school and a rumor had been going around the school that he had sucked off another kid during a basketball game. It was about 3 guys that just beat that kid. I felt that it was wrong what they did, but didn't he deserve it??? Of course he didn't deserve it. But this image freaked me out. This is what I saw happening to me. The kids that did it were caught and charges were brought against them. The principal even called an assembly for the school. Telling everyone that that type of behavior would not be tolerated at his school. Not only would you be suspended, but charges would be filed against you. Even after all of that, the kid was called names and outcaste by everyone. He had his friends, and by what I saw, all of them didn't stick with him. The word "fag" was painted on his locker numerous times. He has been called every bad thing in the book. But the saddest thing about the whole situation is that it was only a rumor that started this whole thing, and it is still a rumor that hasn't been confirmed. It's unknown whether or not the kid actually did this. No one even knew if the kid was gay or not. Not that it really mattered anyway. No human being should be treated like that. I can't take that type of thing happening to me. Plus the fact that I wasn't ready for anything to happen. I mean I was so confused about what I was feeling. What next.....would we have sex.....and even if by some means we did do something with each other, what would we do? All this was just me thinking to myself. Because I didn't even know how he felt for me. I know that there was some interest on both of our parts. The looks that were given were made by both of us, not just me. I had no idea that it would be this hard. What would I do. I had to contain these feelings. Make them go away. I mean to feel this way about another boy is wrong right? I couldn't take being treated like Greg was. I couldn't take being beaten up. Especially since I knew that I had feeling for Shane. Plus think of how this would affect Martha. What would she think of having a "fag" for a little brother. Wanting to borrow her make-up and everything. Just what she needed, a little sister! I could hear her now...."mom and dad would have been so disappointed....." I couldn't do this to myself. I especially couldn't do this to her! By the time that I reached the CD shop, my sister was behind the counter and the part time employee, a local college student named Laura was at the store. She just tapped her wrist signaling that I was late. I went to the back to change when I just sat down and started to shake uncontrollably. Martha came in back to see why I was late when she saw me. She immediately came to my side and hugged me. Asking me what happened. I couldn't tell her anything. Me and my sister kept few secrets from each other, but I couldn't tell her this one. I told her that nothing was wrong, but she wouldn't let up. She could always tell when I was lying to her. I don't know how, but she could always tell. She just said okay. But at some point I would have to talk to her about what happened. She told me to go up stairs and get some rest. She and Laura could handle the shop until closing by themselves. I went straight to my room. I just lay on my bed and stared at the ceiling. What was going on. I couldn't figure it out. I thought that by me just getting out of there I would start to feel better, but that didn't help. I still felt like crap. I still had no idea of what to do. I don't know. What should I do? This is how me and Shane started out. We didn't discover that we loved each other and had mad passionate sex. It started out with us just staring at each other every chance we got. I was just a scared little boy. I didn't know if he liked me too. Not all little 13 year old boys want to hop in the sack with the first thing that comes along. Programmed by society to be a certain way....that if you don't follow the same path or practices that everyone else around you is following you should be an outcaste. Made an example of what happens to those that don't fit in with what the status quos is. Thinking that everyone that you love...your friends....family would disown you. Mock you. And in the most extreme cases (which happens a little too often for comfort) mame you. The fact that, at that age....even when we put up the facade that we don't need the approval of anyone to be what we want to be. That we can be individuals...not following a certain pattern.....that we are stronger than our parents were at our age. Being more aware of what is going on in the world today, and showing that we are dealing with it. That we can handle it......we still live our lives in fear....fear that if someone sees us and calls us out apart from everyone else....that they will call us freaks. Trying our hardest to live the fantasy lives that the music industry has made for us. We are not skinny enough, we don't have the right skin. My body is not defined enough. These aren't the right type of jeans to wear. Funny huh........ I hope that you enjoyed the first installment of "Little Rich Boy"....don't worry there is more to come. I think that I should state this here and now. This is a story about self discovery for the two main characters in the story. It will not be a story driven by sex, though it will have it's fair share of that also. No, I just wanted to write a story about a boy coming to terms with his sexuality, and the effects that it has on all those around him. Like I said before, I hope that you enjoyed this chapter and if you have any comments....(please say that you do!)..feel free to email me at the above email addy. (and for you guys are just too damn lazy to hit the home key on your keyboard: sagekelly_11@yahoo.com) I will answer every email in prompt and due time, even the ones that say that they hated it, but if you did hate it, please tell me why! Okay see ya next time!
