It is in every way a fictional story. If it has similarities to your or someone you knows life, it is entirely coincidental. This story will contain sexual acts between two boys under the age of consent. If this is illegal for you to read in your local area, stop now.

After this only 2 more chapters to go. This chapter will be... less interesting to some. This chapter will be more of a push for the final chapter. Basically last chapter was the end of George in this story and his conflicts. So this chapter will be the start of Colby's senior year at highschool. So once again the chapter will be rather boring but if you read Life's Expectations you'll get a little surprise in the chapter. Enough ranting, lets start the chapter! Colby's LE – Chapter 8 – Grade 12 – People Like Us George was expelled from school only a month before graduation. Colby, with the help of Mr. Bells had gotten a restraining order against him. The terms were that they would a) not talk to one another, b) be in the same classroom as one another, and c) not have any form of intended physical contact. The terms were clear and George ignored them not one, not 2 but all three on multiple occasions. When Colby informed Mr. Bells and the office, George was expelled on the spot. Colby had a great big smile on his face when He walked out of the school for the last time. With George out of the way, Colby would fully enjoy the graduation celebrations. He acted as a server at the grad dinner, the only male server there. He even got to watch his sister and Vicky have their walk. The only thought besides, 'wow they look pretty' going through Colby's head was that he would be doing the same thing in a years time. Summer past by fast. The Brown family had made no plans for vacation. Colby though was brought on the Bells family vacation. They only went to Calgary but that was an 18 hour drive between locations. He was very grateful of the Bell's kind offer to include him. When he got back him and Mitch had their second date. Just going to dinner and a show again but to them it was something extra special. The rest of the summer was filled with hangouts and good-byes. Vicky wa heading to Kelowna for school and through scholarships Jessica was going to the collage the next town over. Amongst others who knew the group. When school started Colby could feel something was different. He could feel the 'power' the grade 12s felt last year and all the years before. For Colby and Mitch though it was different. They were the only openly gay kids in school and everyone didn't dare mess with them. Mrs. Bells made it clear when ever she heard any kind of slang term what side she was on. She made sure Colby and Mitch knew that they were always welcome in her classroom. Though the only time they were ever there was for their English class. Even with the minor degree of hate towards them, the general student body loved them. Colby was asked to join many clubs. He only accepted one though, Student Council. Everyone in the Council decided that it was 'Colby's Year' and he would host every event. That meant he was hosting Pep rallies, Talent contest, Dances and more. Colby was flattered at how everyone felt. In Colby's head though there was only two goals he wanted to achieve this year at school. Get straight As and make a lasting impression in the eyes of the teachers and students. This started earlier than Colby thought. Many of the younger students had asked questions to Colby about being gay. Some to be rude, others in honesty. Soon he had become the guy to talk to about it. As a result the gay/bi population of the school grew largely. The principals considered starting a Gay Straight Alliance but not enough students had enough interest. The idea died as it started. That didn't stop one boy from fallowing Colby until he had him alone. When Colby realized he was being fallowed he turned around, "Not to be rude, but what do you want?" The kid blushed and looked at the ground, "Sorry..." Puberty had just hit his voice. The sudden high pitch of his voice made him blush again. "I just... well you know..." "Spill it. Why were you fallowing me? There has to be a good reason." Colby looked at the kid, "Are you gay?" The kid's eyes went wide and he turned and started to walk away. Colby quickly caught up and grabbed his shoulder, "What do you want!?" Tears were running down his face. "Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. Come on." Colby lead him towards a bench nearby. He sat down and invited the kid to sit down. He did so, making more space than necessary between them. "What's your name kid?" "Adam Bruce." he quietly stated, "I'm in Grade 9..." "And you fallowed me cause...?" Adam quickly looked away from him. "I wanted to know... what made you gay..." Colby smiled. "Oh that's easy, Nothing." Adam looked back, confused. "I guess you could say the internet but that wouldn't be fair cause it was my choice. I am gay cause that's who I am." "My dad says that being gay is just a condition and can be cured, though." Colby sighed, "I don't know who your dad is, but in my opinion and many others, he's wrong. Being Gay is part of our genetic make up. Or something along those lines. We can't control it and we can't 'cure' it." "Oh... I didn't know." Adam got up. "Don't tell anyone I'm gay though okay?" "Or that your dad is trying to 'cure' you of it?" Adam blushed, "Your secret is safe with me. I'll see you later kid." With that Adam ran off towards home. What Colby didn't want to think about was what was going through Adam's mind. His dad is trying to 'cure' the kid? How can he even try and do that? He thought to himself. He let it slip away and he continued walking home. At dinner Colby looked over to his dad, "Hey dad?" he looked at his son, "What does 'curing' someone from being gay mean?" "Well son, some religious nuts think that it can be taken from you. That its a sin to be Gay, to lay with another man." His dad sighed, "They believe it has something to do with the devil. They call themselves messengers of god... Disgusting people if you ask me." "I'll just stick to the ten commandments, they seem pretty solid if you ask me." Colby laughed. "I would agree with you son." School progressed forward and Colby was doing better than expected on his second goal. He had decided not to take a spare block like most of his classmates and had 8 classes to complete this year. In each of his mid-term marks they stated 'Best of the Class'. He was baffled. He went to each teacher and asked if it was true. In all four of his current classes it was, indeed, true. He eventually was asked to help some of the younger students in his spare time. He gladly accepted this responsibility. With both of his goals coming along nicely he had one last thing to do before graduating. Something that everyone expected but wasn't sure how it would happen. Something special to him and Mitch. Chapter end. Sorry for the short chapter but the next couple of chapters will be a variate of lengths. On a side note: to you LE readers, There was a bit of a more recently active character in LE, Adam Bruce in this chapter. You guys now know about Adam's dad a bit. In the coming chapters of LE what has been said here will become relevant. I promise. Now that chapter 8 is done only two more to go. Here's a hint about the next two chapters: They are called.... Chapter 9 – Success! – Heaven Chapter 10 – Graduation – Good Old Days Thanks for reading!
