I'm pretty much unaware how things, like studying, go at this stage. Yet, I am very much excited. I can start new here since I am the only one, as far as I know, who applied and admitted at this University. I can forget my past and face the future. By the way I haven't introduced myself. I am Jericho. I am skinny, with tanned skin. Some students in our school said I was cute, and I believe them, especially when I look myself into the mirror. I stand 5 feet inches tall. I am not muscular `cause I am not the athletic type. I enjoyed most of my high school days in reading and math. Yes! I am a geek or nerd. But I would rather call myself a math wizard. I was once regional champion in a Mathematics Competition. I may say that I was popular at my previous school. I was part of the Student Council and school paper. Yet, there is one thing that even though I hide, the whole school still knew that I was gay. I don't know how did they find out but I have never had a friend whom I can fully entrust my secret. Neither I talk or walk or move like gay. Maybe It's because I can never get along with the guys in our class. But I can't also go with the girls. I was a loner. But I was thinking maybe they were just intimidated by my academic prowess. But everything is going to change now in college. At our freshman orientation, where we will the chance to meet our classmates, and choose our interest clubs, I tried to act like as straight as I can be. But I can already act one so maybe I will try to befriend some guys in our class. And I think it worked. When students assembled in the gymnasium, there were assigned chairs for each class. I'm sorry but I forgot to tell that I want to be a teacher, a Math teacher of course. Anyway, since I am taking education most of our classmates are girls, though there are some boys, I tried to seat with a boy. He is kinda cute. SNAP! I need to focus and I cant forget my plan to act straight as much as possible. But I am some kind of introvert. I can live my day without talking to my classmates. But thank God, he is the one who started a conversation with me. He is sitting with some of our guy classmates, so there are a lot of introduction. They seemed so nice. So I just try my best to give some comments to their jokes to keep the conversation flowing. We seem kinda enjoyed each other's company; we eat altogether in one table. I said to myself "Finally, I have a place and friends to belong with." The orientation went by and ended around evening so before we set apart, we traded our cellphone numbers in case there will be further announcements. Then we said goodbyes to each other. That is just chapter 1. Sorry if there were no sex yet, but wait for the next chapters. IF you have questions, suggestions or comments, I would be willing to be in touch with you.
