The High School Years
(Tween to Teen)

Chapter Thirty Four

New Year's 1970

Johnny was only gone a few minutes, but that was long enough for me to imagine every scenario possible. Was this Becky a cheerleader that had her eye on Johnny? Or perhaps the sister of one of his buddies on the football team, or...?

"Sorry, I had to take that. Becky is on the committee for the Junior Senior prom and I sort of promised to help with the decorations. The art class helps out every year and I sort of got drafted."

"Do I know this girl?"

"Dunno, she's a senior, Becky Williams."

"Is she cute?" I asked trying not to sound as pissy as I felt.

Johnny laughed, "Oh Robert. I wish you could see your face. You are practically green with envy. But you know, I should be pissed off that you still don't trust me when it comes to anyone outside our gang."

What could I say? Of course he was right. I was being an idiot, and unfair to Johnny who was obviously being honest with me."

"Kidding," I said grinning, "No girl can compete with me, right?"

"If I didn't love you so much..." he said shaking his head.

"I'm sorry," I said, "you're right. I have no reason to be jealous, and what you do in your personal time is your business, but...I just wonder, why didn't you mention this before?"

"Because so far we'd only talked about it, but today she called to firm things up. Don't worry, she has a boyfriend anyway and she's not trying to find a new one."

"I feel about this tall," I said holding two fingers an inch or so apart, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"So you can check up on me?" Johnny chuckled.

"No, of course not, but if you don't want my help."

"I'm sure we can find something for you to do. There's a lot of work to do, and the worst part is, the Juniors do most of the work and the seniors get to enjoy it the most."

"Then sign me up," I said grinning, "that's the least I can do."

He chuckled, "Man oh man, come on let's hop in the bus and drive to DQ, I need some ice cream."

"Can't, I said leaning in and giving him a peck on the cheek, gotta get home. It's meatloaf night and I don't wanna be late."

"Okay, but tomorrow don't make any plans, I want you all to myself for the day."

"Oh, okay. I'd like that. Well, see ya' tomorrow then," I said wishing I could stay longer, but knowing that I shouldn't.

"I'll walk you out front."

"Where are you boys going?" his mom asked as we appeared in the hall.

"Robert's going home, just walking him out," Johnny said, "don't worry I'm not going anywhere."

"All right, goodbye Robert."

"Goodbye Mrs. Williams."

Out front I sat aside my motorcycle while Johnny and I talked a bit more, then I rode off, leaving Johnny behind. I passed by Caleb's house on the way home, but he was nowhere to be seen, and by the time I got home I was okay and ready to spend some time with my family.

*******************************************

The day of the party I arrived at Johnny's house about 5 and pretty soon Caleb showed up and helped us get things set up. Around 6 Johnny's folks left for the movies, then later they were going to the Elk's club for dinner and dancing and bringing in the New Year. They wouldn't be home till at least 2am, and we figured by then we'd be partied out and asleep or...at least in bed.

After Johnny's folks left, Johnny and I drove over to pick up Walter and Donnie, then swung by and got Gerald. Since Whitaker State Home, where Tony lived was so close, he walked over to Johnny's house and arrived a few minutes after we got back.

There were seven of us now and the night was ours. New Year's Eve 1970, and it would turn out to be one of the most memorable of my life.

"Okay, who wants to help me bring the beer in?" Johnny said grinning.

"Beer, you got beer?" Tony said looking interested.

"Yeah, I have a friend who bought it for me. There's enough for each of us to have at least three, not enough to get drunk, and I figure we can save the last one for our toast at midnight."

"Where is it?"  I asked, this being the first I'd heard of the beer.

"Out in the storage shed in a cooler. I been hiding it since yesterday, and I added another bag of ice earlier, so it should be plenty cold."

I volunteered to help Johnny bring in the cooler, a nice metal Coleman, one that I recognized from our camping trips ages ago, and we carried it into the kitchen and sat it on the floor by the sink.

"What's wrong?" Johnny asked, reading me like a book.

"Nothing, it's just you never said anything about beer or getting drunk."

"We're not gonna get drunk on three beers," he scoffed, "just have some fun and loosen up, that's all."

"What would your folks say if they knew you had beer?"

"Well, I don't think my dad would be that upset, my mom, maybe."

"They trust us," I said trying not to sound too wimpy, "what are you going to do with all the empty cans?"

"Got it covered," he said grinning, "first we'll crush em' flat, then put em' in a gunny sack and throw them in the back of the bug. In a couple of days I'll throw them in the dumpster out back of one of the stores downtown and no one will be the wiser."

"Sounds like you thought of everything," I said relaxing some. Maybe I did need to loosen up some. After all we would soon be 17 and almost men, a few beers wouldn't hurt us."

"Okay, now...help me get the snacks ready. I bought a bucket of chicken and some fish too, and there's coleslaw, potato salad, baked beans, chips, and some other stuff. Mom made a batch of cookies for us and there's some fruit if anyone wants to eat healthy," he added chuckling.

"This is gonna be fun," I said forgetting all my worries for once and following Johnny's lead.

Pretty soon we had everything ready, and we called the others in, and we filled our plates and grabbed our first beer. There was only room for six at the dining room table, but Johnny grabbed his desk chair out of the bedroom and squeezed in between me and Gerald.

Caleb sat at the head of the table with Tony to his left, then Donnie, and Walter sat at the far end. I couldn't help but notice the looks Caleb was giving Tony and that Tony didn't seem to mind the attention. I didn't know a lot about Tony except that he was a good guy and funny, but teenage boys were always horny, and I decided that if the opportunity arose Tony might be open for some fun with another boy, especially one as cute as Caleb.

We laughed and joked, and ate, and drank our beer, and as I looked around the room at the boys I'd known almost all my life, and those that had come into my life recently I smiled. They were like family to me, even Tony now that I'd gotten to know him better, and I was happy just to be with them as we finished out the year and rang in the new one.

I worried about Donnie since he seemed to be a little concerned about Tony joining us, but as far as I could see he was just as polite and friendly to the black boy as he was to us white boys. I was glad, because I loved Donnie like a brother and it would have hurt me to think he was one of those people who could hate someone because of the color of their skin.

By the time we had finished eating, our second beer was gone, and we were feeling pretty good, but like Johnny said, two or three beers wasn't enough to get anyone drunk. We'd agreed to save our third can for toasting in the New Year, and that was almost 4 hours away, and in the meantime there was iced tea and cans of pop to keep us from getting too dry.

"What are we gonna do now?" Donnie wanted to know as he burped, causing everyone to laugh.

"Play pin the tail on the donkey," I joked.

"Or pin the dick on the ass," Gerald laughed.

I saw Tony's eye brows raise and he gave Gerald a toothy smile, but didn't say anything.

"You  just got ass on your mind," I sniggered, "How about we go out into the backyard and toss the football around?" I suggested. I knew Johnny loved doing that, and after all, he had that new football I'd bought him for Christmas.

Everyone but Gerald seemed fine with that, so he sat on the patio and watched us for a while, then finally seeing how much fun we were having he ran out and intercepted a pass and the game got more competitive.

After that, guys started tackling each other, and when I saw Tony take Caleb down I wondered if it was all in the spirit of the game or if he just wanted some body contact. It was apparent Tony was trying to be gentle with Caleb, and afterwards he even offered Caleb a hand and pulled him up. 

Caleb flashed him a smile and thanked him and I chuckled to myself. It looked like things were headed in the right direction without any help from me or Johnny.

When we were worn out and hot and sweaty, we retired to the patio and plopped down and rested as we talked about school, cars, my bike, and a dozen other things that interested us. I fully expected Gerald or Tony to bring up girls as a subject of appreciation, but when neither one did, I thought about how different our little group was than your average teen boy growing up back then.

We finally went inside as our sweat evaporated and we started feeling the chill of the night air. It was 9:30 by then, and after everyone had a turn at draining their bladder we decided to play some cards. I was never really much of a card player, but I liked board games, so while Johnny, Tony, Gerald, and Caleb played cards, Donnie, Walter, and I played Sorry.

Sorry can be a cut throat game, and we got pretty loud, and pretty soon we'd drawn the attention of the other boys and they wanted to play too. Since only four players can play at once, we let the card players go next while we found other things to interest us.

Donnie switched on the TV (a color one that Johnny's dad had bought shortly after they moved into the new house) and we sat down staring at flickering images on the screen.  Guy Lombardo was hosting a New Year's Eve countdown and we watched that for a bit before switching to another channel, but the TV really didn't hold much interest for us.

I really haven't written much about what was going on in the world in this story, but as I look back I realize that the reason was that most of it didn't affect us, or at least that's the way it seemed. Elvis was alive and well, the Beatles had broken up earlier that year, and the Vietnam Conflict was still in the news almost daily. Over 6000 of our soldiers died that year, but none from our sleepy town, so somehow it didn't seem real to us. Sure kids we knew had gone off to serve in the military, but so far none of them had come home in a flag-draped casket, however that would soon change.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that we were insulated from most of the world and it's worries, as were many small towns across the country. We had our own concerns, our own priorities, and they didn't include thinking about the bigger picture. However as we got older our world began to expand, and with it our perception of how things really were. 

"Have you heard from Larry lately?" I asked suddenly.

"Yeah, he's in Louisiana. He says he hates it, and he's hoping to get moved pretty soon."

"I hope not to Vietnam," I said with concern.

Donnie shrugged, "Yeah, mom is crazy with worry about him. Virgil thought he was going to get sent over there, but he got lucky and wound up in California." 

Virgil was Donnie's older brother who was the same age as my uncle Joe. He had enlisted right out of high school and planned on making a career of the service.

"Think we'll have to worry about that stuff?" Walter said looking glum.

"You and me maybe, but Johnny and Robert will be going off to college and will get a deferment or something," Donnie sighed.

"I'm hoping the war will be over soon," I said frowning, "I don't want any of my friends having to go over there and risk their lives for nothing. The war is bullshit," I said using my dad's own words. Unlike us boys, our parents were more involved with current events and had their own opinions, which we boys picked up on at times.

"Yeah, I used to think I might go into the Army or something, but lately I'm not sure that's a good idea."

"Donnie, two sons in the Army are enough. Why don't you stay home and find a job or something."

"I might, daddy says he might be able to get me and Walter on with the city this summer, and if we do a good job we could go full time after we graduate."

"That sounds good, really good," I said.

"Yeah, if we don't get drafted," Walter said shaking his head.

"Do you think that could happen?" I said gnawing on a finger nail.

Walter shrugged, "Who knows, Uncle Sam needs bodies, and they're scooping up kids right out of high school as fast as they can."

I felt sick thinking about the possibility of my buddies having to go to a country on the other side of the world and risk their life for a war that made no sense. I was thankful that my folks and Johnny's could afford to send us to college, because I was sure I could never become a soldier and go off to war and be expected to kill someone.

Time passed slowly as we sat there discussing our future and remembering our past, and only when Johnny came in and told us it was our turn to play did we finally move from our perches.

We teamed up for the next game of Sorry, Johnny and I, Donnie and Walter, and somehow Tony and Caleb wound up together leaving Gerald to play solo. I really think Caleb and Tony maneuvered that match up, but I don't think Gerald cared one way or the other. He and his girlfriend had broken up just after Thanksgiving and he was hanging around with the group more these days, and I for one was glad to see him back.

We had a great time playing Sorry that night, and I can almost hear the laughter and groans, and see the evil smiles on some of their faces as they sent another player back home. It was fun, but we were ruthless, and the game lasted a long time, with Gerald finally beating Donnie and Walter by one move.

It was nearing 11 by the time we broke up the game and everyone took a pee break and got up to stretch their legs. Tony and Caleb disappeared and when I asked Johnny where they'd gotten off to, he said they stepped outside. Being the nosy busy body and matchmaker that I was, I just had to peak out the kitchen window to see what they were up to.

At first I wasn't sure what I was seeing, then I recognized the red glow of a cigarette and I learned something new about Tony. Apparently he was a smoker. Now, most of us boys had tried tobacco at one time or another, but as far as I knew none of the others used it regularly, and I personally hated the stuff. I remembered once Donnie had brought a half empty pouch of Big Red chewing tobacco to Johnny's house and we'd snuck out to the shed out back and tried it. Boy you never saw three sicker boys in your whole life. I can still remember the green faces of my two friends and I'm sure I was just as green.

"I didn't know Tony smoked," I said when I found Johnny again.

"Yeah, not all the time, but a couple times at practice I saw him sneak off and light one up."

"I wonder what else I don't know about him," I pondered.

"Like what, how big his dick is?" Johnny laughed.

"Oh, I know that," I said mysteriously.

"How would you know that?" He said pushing me against the kitchen counter and encircling my waist with his arms. I could feel his hardness against my leg, and I was ready to drag him off someplace private and have my way with him.

"You told me," I chuckled.

"Oh, yeah...I did, didn't I?" He cackled, "How bout' a kiss?" he said forgetting all about Tony for the moment.

"Okay, but make it fast. Don't want Tony to catch us, he might not be as cool with us being lovers as our other friends."

"Screw him," Johnny joked, "he's busy with Caleb anyway."

Without replying I leaned in and kissed Johnny, and as the kiss progressed we became more engaged. Our arms were locked around each other and we were pressing together almost desperately when the back door flew open and Tony came in, followed closely behind by Caleb.

I tried to jerk away, but Johnny seemed unaware of Tony's entrance, or maybe he just didn't care. 

"Johnny..." I muttered.

Only then did Johnny see to notice the two had returned, but still he did not release his hold on me. I was red-faced and sweating by now, but I'd quit struggling. What was done was done, and now we just had to deal with the fallout.

"Don't mind them," Caleb laughed, "they're just good friends."

"Yeah, I see. You sure they're not kissin' cousins?" Tony joked.

I grinned and Johnny burst out laughing, "Oh, by the way Robert...Tony knows."

"What, but how?" I stammered.

"I ain't blind," Tony sniggered, "don't take a scientist to figure that one out."

"Ass," I said pushing Johnny away, "I thought I was gonna get my ass beat."

"Hey," Tony protested, "I ain't like that. I don't judge nobody. Sides, in the home they ain't no girls, and some of the boys be a lot of fun."

I laughed, "Good to know, now...after I had my heart attack."

The others had watched the whole thing go down and everyone was laughing now, but we soon settled down and began to prepare for the countdown and the downing of our last beer.

There were chips and dip, peanuts, and cookies to snack on as we gathered around Johnny's 25" color TV to watch the countdown. We laughed and carried on as we watched the TV and ate our snacks, waiting for the New Year to roll in, and as I looked around at the smiling faces of my friends I had a really good feeling.

We were approaching the final years of our childhood, some closer than others, and soon most of us would be leaving home and starting lives of our own. For Caleb this was his last year and I knew we would miss him, but next year Johnny and I would join him at college and even share a house with him. 

Sadly we'd be leaving Gerald, Donnie, Walter, and Tony behind, but we still had one more year with them to make memories. Gerald had already decided to go into the military and was trying to decide which branch, while Donnie and Walter planned on finding a job, and Tony talked about leaving the state altogether.

"I wanna' fly a copter," Gerald said for the thousandth time since I'd met him back when we were just kids starting into puberty.

"I hope you know what you're getting into," Johnny said, "those chopper pilots live a dangerous life, going into enemy fire and pulling wounded soldiers out and stuff."

"I know, but that's what makes it so important," Gerald said shaking his head, "I ain't good for much else, maybe I can save some lives and make up for all the shit I done as a kid."

"You're not a bad kid," I said quickly, coming to his defense, "I think you're actually a pretty good kid, and I'm glad you're my friend."

"Yeah, well...I changed some after I met you and Johnny. I used to be a rotten little shit," he said looking sad.

"Well, you were just a kid back then, you've grown up some since then."

"Yeah, well...I got my heart set on being a chopper pilot, so we'll see how that works out."

"I'm sure if you try hard enough you can do whatever you want," I said leaning in to give him a quick hug.

"Do all you guys kiss and hug?" Tony laughed.

"Yeah," I said leaning over Johnny toward Tony who was on his right, "You want a hug too?"

"Yeah," he laughed, "everyone needs a hug now and then," he said meeting me halfway.

"Let me get out of the way," Johnny laughed, "you're crushing me."

"Oh I'm not that heavy," I said allowing Johnny to swap places with me. Then leaning in toward Tony I gave him the same kind of hug I'd given Gerald, only Tony held on a long time and the way he was shaking made me think he was about ready to cry or something.

Caleb watched us with interest and I gave him a wink, "I think Caleb wants a hug too, Tony."

"OH, sure...the more the merrier," he chuckled.

"You sure, you ain't gonna' beat me up for trying to hug you are you?" he teased.

"Nope, I swear," Tony said holding his hands up in surrender.

"What about kissing? You like kissing?" I asked boldly now that Tony was easing up some.

"I...I ain't never kissed anyone to tell ya' the truth," Tony said pausing a moment to gage our reactions.

"Never? I figured a good looking guy like you would have the girls all over him," I chuckled.

"Man, ain't no girls at school interested in a kid from Whitaker, and the ones at the home are younger and besides, we ain't allowed to go near em'."

"Well, Caleb is a pretty good kisser, not as good as Johnny," I joked, "but passable."

"That right?" Tony said giving Caleb a toothy smile.

Caleb was blushing, but I could see he was excited at this new prospect, "Maybe when the ball drops," Caleb said sounding shy.

"Okay, how bout' at the stroke of midnight we hug and kiss?" Tony offered.

"Yeah," I said grinning, "That's what me and Johnny are gonna do, right sugar?" I said in a crazy voice, causing everyone to crack up.

"Sugar?" Gerald mocked, doubling over with laughter, "More like salt."

"Hey, how would you know, you ain't tasted him?" I protested.

"I've tasted parts of him," Gerald laughed, and I saw Tony give him an inquiring look.

"Yeah, well...I guess all of us have tasted one another at one time or another," I said, hoping I wasn't saying too much, but Tony didn't seem offended.

"Damn, you boys help each other out a lot?" Tony wondered.

"That's what friends do," I laughed.

"Man, wish I was a friend."

"Oh Tony, you are, and tonight we are going to bring you into the brotherhood of P-Creek Boys," Johnny laughed.

"P-Creek Boys?" I quarried.

"Remember that stupid club we started at Larry's?" Donnie asked grinning. I guess what Johnny had said had stirred up that memory in Donnie.

"B.A.D Boys Club," I mused, "stood for butt and dick, right?"

"Yeah, that didn't last long," Johnny reminded us, "we moved on to bigger and better things."

"Ah...the good old days," Donnie sighed.

"I wonder what Larry is up to these days?"

"He's got a car now and he's dating a Freshman girl named Betty," Walter offered.

"I wonder if he misses us?" I mused.

"Naw, unless this Betty girl ain't puttin' out," Johnny laughed.

"Girls ain't like boys," Gerald offered, "they want to kiss and hold hands and stuff, but they don't want to do the fun stuff."

"Some do, so I heard," Tony said, then looked down at his feet. 

"Well, where are they all at?" Gerald said imploringly and we all laughed.

It was five minutes till midnight when Johnny handed out the last beer for each of us, and we stood to bring in the New Year. I had Johnny, Walter had Donnie, and now Tony had Caleb, which left poor Gerald all alone, but Johnny and I would take care of him.

Three...two...one, Happy New Year!!! 1970 was finally here.

As the streamers fell in New York City we jumped up and down in Pryor Creek Oklahoma and hugged each other and delivered those promised kisses. I couldn't help but watch out of the corner of my eye as Caleb delivered his kiss to Tony who seemed to hesitate at first, then as he got into it, he took over and kissed Caleb quite properly.

As soon as Johnny and I broke our kiss we attacked Gerald and was hugging and smooching him up, and though he made a half hearted attempt to resist us, we knew he loved it.

"Wow, we made it guys, 1970. I wonder what neat stuff this new year will bring for us."

"Maybe I'll find a girlfriend who puts out," Gerald laughed.

"Or a boyfriend?" I offered, and Gerald laughed harder, as everyone joined in.

"I know what it's gonna bring me," Tony said somberly, "more of the same."

"Maybe not," Caleb said soothingly, "You got new friends now, and well...you can hang out with us, if you want."

Tony looked into Caleb's eyes and smiled, "Yeah, maybe it will be better. Well, I gots to go drain some of this beer," he said starting for the bathroom.

"I need to go too," Caleb said softly, "mind if I join you?"

Tony shrugged, but his smile said he was all for it, and as the two disappeared down the hallway Johnny nudged me, "Probably gonna hold each others pecker while they pee."

"Lucky Caleb," I teased.

"Oh? You wanting to hold Tony's snake too? Well, I gotta feelin' that before the night is over, we're all gonna get a chance."

Caleb and Tony were gone about ten minutes, not long enough to get off, but maybe long enough to check each other out or maybe kiss some more. I envied Tony in a way, this was all new to him, and with a sweet boy like Caleb he was in for some real fun. I didn't know if it would be anything more than two horny teens getting each other off, but sometimes that was enough.

By the time they returned to the living room we had the lights dimmed and Johnny and I were cuddled up, while Donnie and Walter shared a big over-stuffed chair across from us. Donnie wasn't quite sitting on Walter's lap, but that was the impression I got. Gerald was laying in the floor watching TV and the five of us were talking quietly.

"What happened to the lights?" Tony asked grinning.

"Got to save electricity," Johnny joked, "it's better like this, too much light hurts our eyes."

"And it's more romantic," I offered, then blushed.

"I been wonderin'," Tony said as he and Caleb sat down on the couch beside us, "where are we all sleepin'?"

"Well, Johnny and I will be sleeping in his bed. There's a spare bedroom and I guess a couple of you guys can sleep in there and we'll make a bed in the floor for the losers of the coin toss," I chuckled.

We quickly worked out the sleeping arrangements and it was decided that since Tony was the new guy he could have the spare bed, and of course Caleb would be joining him. Gerald would bunk in the floor in their room, and Walter and Donnie would share a pallet in Johnny's room.

But before we settled down to sleep we would all go to Johnny's room and hang out till we got sleepy.

I helped Johnny get rid of the beer cans, and with the help of the others we tidied up the place, threw our trash, and put away the left overs and snacks. By the time we were finished it was after 1am and we decided to head to Johnny's room in case his folks came  home early.

Johnny's room was big, but seven teenagers was a tight squeeze, though we managed somehow, and no one seemed to mind the tight quarters. There was the smell of teenage funk and a slight smell of beer, and I suggested that we might want to shower and brush our teeth before his folks got home.

Johnny and I went first, taking a quick shower, then Donnie and Walter, Gerald and Caleb, and Tony showered alone. I guess he wasn't quite ready to expose himself totally to anyone at that point, but that would soon change.

We finished our showers just in time, because around 2am we heard the front door open and soft voices as Johnny's folks headed off to their room. We heard the door close, then it was quiet, and we didn't see them till morning.

Everyone knew about Johnny's artwork, but except for the few things they'd seen at school or at the library, no one except me knew of the depth of his work. 

"You guys will be sleeping in Johnny's studio," I teased, "so don't get anything on any of his paintings."

"Is there a lot of em'?" Tony wanted to know.

"Yeah, a lot, want to see guys?"

Everyone did, and though Johnny protested mildly, I could tell he was happy to have his talent on display. The spare bedroom was about the same size as Johnny's room and held a bed and a dresser in addition to Johnny's easels, a table, and shelves with his paint and stuff. He had put most of his paintings in the closet to make room for his overnight guests, but there was quite a few hanging on the walls and leaning against the wall.

"You did all these?" Tony said in awe.

"Yeah," Johnny said smiling, "It's the one thing I'm really good at."

"What do you mean?" I said coming up behind him and encircling his waist with my arms and hugging him to me, "You're good at everything you do. You're the football captain and a star player, and you're a decent person, and the best boyfriend anyone could ever find."

Donnie laughed, "Yeah, if I had half your talent I wouldn't be looking at a job with the city, I'd be going off to college."

"These are really good," Tony said looking around, then suddenly he spotted one that Johnny had only completed recently, "Can I pick it up?"

Johnny nodded, "You might recognize some of the guys in there," Johnny chuckled. 

The painting was of their football team, The Tigers, in a huddle, and Tony was featured prominently in the background, his face clearly visible as the team joined hands and joined in a cheer.

"That's...that's me," Tony said in wonder, "boy oh boy, this is something. When did you do this?"

"Actually I drew it from a photo the school newspaper took, then added the color later. It turned out pretty good."

"Pretty good? It's perfect. Are you gonna go to school and study art and become a famous painter someday?"

"Well, I'm going to study art, but I'm not kidding myself about making a living with my paintings. I'll probably become a teacher or something to pay the bills."

"He's always selling himself short," I said squeezing him tighter, "he's good enough to make a fortune with his art, and besides, I can support us while he paints."

"What are you going to study?" Tony wondered.

"Journalism is going to be my major, but I'm going to get a teaching degree too, just to have something to fall back on."

"Wow, you guys got it all figured out," Gerald said, "hope it all works out for you."

"You got it figured out too," I reminded him, "you're gonna be a chopper pilot."

"Yeah, if I pass the physical and don't die during basic training," he chuckled.

"You'll do fine," I assured him, "you're a winner Gerald, you just got to believe in yourself."

"Thanks," Gerald said blushing.

Everyone was impressed with Johnny's paintings and drawings, and even our old friends were surprised at how good they were. 

We eventually returned to Johnny's room where the mood was somewhat subdued as we thought about what the future held for each of us. I was happy that Johnny and I would be going off to college and joining Caleb there, but it was a little sad to think about leaving our other friends behind. I guess the reality of growing up and leaving my childhood behind was finally catching up with me, and I supposed the others were having similar feelings.

"This party is starting to be a real drag," Johnny said finally, "Let's see if we can liven things up. How about we play truth or dare?"

Everyone groaned, but no one protested, and Johnny went first. Of course he picked me, and since I really didn't have that many secrets, I chose dare. The dare was an easy one, I had to go to the kitchen in my underwear and bring sodas back for all of us. I knew his parents were sleeping, and I was quiet as a mouse, and soon returned with the sodas.

I chose Caleb, and he chose to take the dare.

"I dare you to...kiss everyone in the room for five seconds, with tongue." I had chosen this dare mainly to get Caleb to kiss Tony again, but this seemed like a good way to loosen both of them up. As expected Caleb groaned, but he quickly began fulfilling his obligation, kissing me first, then making his way around the room till he got to Tony.

"You okay with this?" Caleb asked, still not sure of Tony I guessed.

"Yeah, do it," he chuckled, "ain't like we haven't already swapped some spit."

I didn't time him, but I suspect that Caleb kissed Tony a bit longer than five seconds, and the tent in both their jeans said they enjoyed it. Now to get rid of those jeans and any inhibitions still lingering.

Caleb chose Donnie and Donnie chose truth which surprised us all.

"Who was the first boy you ever messed with?" Caleb asked, of course we all knew the answer and I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Robert," he said quickly, and I held up my hand and waved it around.

"I should have known, that was an easy one," Caleb chuckled.

Donnie chose Johnny, and Johnny chose dare. "Johnny I dare you to strip to your underwear..."

"Easy one."

"Wait, I'm not done yet, then...strip everyone else down to their underwear."

"Okay, easy enough," Johnny said tugging his shirt off. When he was down to his sexy white briefs, he turned to me and I held up my arms to make it easy for him to rid me of my tee shirt. 

From me, Johnny moved on to Gerald, then Donnie and Walter, Caleb next, then that left only Tony.

"You okay with this?" Johnny asked just to be sure.

"Yeah, I done told you guys I'm okay with this stuff," he chuckled, "you all act like you afraid I'm gonna beat you up or somethin'."

"No, it's just that I'm used to our usual bunch and I know they don't care what we do, but you're new so I was just making sure," Johnny said as he began to unbutton the long sleeve shirt Tony was wearing.

When Johnny had it unbuttoned, he reached down and undid the button on Tony's pants so he could pull the shirt tail out and free Tony of it. His upper body was muscular and tight, and he had a six pack, way before I ever knew what that was. But there was something else that I noticed and it had me wondering, and later when I got a good look at his back it all became clear to me. Tony showed the scars of being beaten, not recently, but probably at a young age before he was shipped off to the Children's Home. This gave me a new respect for Tony, and of course I felt pity for him, but I knew Tony was a proud person and I didn't want to mention his scars unless he brought it up first.

His scars aside though, Tony was beautiful, and very sexy and I'm sure I wasn't the only one who thought so from the tent in everyone's underwear.

"Okay, my turn again," Johnny said, "Hmmm...Walter, truth or dare?"

"Dare I guess," Walter mumbled, not sure which was worse.

"Okay, good. Hmmm...okay I dare you to...to, pull Donnie's underwear down and hold his pecker in your hand for...a whole minute."

This was easy stuff, except no one was really sure how Tony felt about all this fooling around, despite what he had said.

"That all?" Walter said, thinking he was getting off easy.

"Yeah, for now."

Walter was more familiar with Donnie's pecker than any of us, well except maybe me, and he seemed perfectly comfortable holding, fondling, and actually jacking it a bit as everyone looked on. I was the official time keeper since I was the only one wearing a watch, and when the minute was up I let it go another ten seconds before announcing the time was up.

"Okay, Walter your turn," I said.

"Okay, Tony, truth or dare?"

"Truth I reckon," he said after thinking about it for a minute or two.

"Okay, have you ever had another boy's pecker in your mouth?"

"Oh, man...I knew I should've said dare," Tony groaned, but by saying that he had practically answered the question already, "Yeah, once...maybe twice."

"Welcome to the club," I hooted, and Johnny had to quiet everyone down as they joined in.

"Enough of this game," Johnny finally said, "everyone's got a hardon, so it's time to play."

This was it, the moment of truth. Would Tony join us, or was this too much for him?

"How does this work?" Tony asked looking around.

"Well, as you may have guessed, all of us have messed around at one time or another, and as a group."

"Even you and Robert?"

"Who do you think started all this stuff?" Johnny laughed.

Tony seemed to be thinking for a minute, then he spoke again, "So, what all do you guys do?"

"Pretty much everything, but don't worry, you don't have to do anything you don't want to. Mostly it's just about having fun and getting our jollies."

"Been awhile," Tony admitted, "but I think I remember how."

"Just relax, I'm gonna go pee, and if you guys need to do that too, now's the time."

I went with Johnny and as we were draining our bladders side by side we talked.

"Think Tony is into this or is he just trying to fit in?"

"I think he's okay with it, but we'll take it slow and let Caleb do most of the work," Johnny said, "the way those two been acting all night tells me they want to do something naughty."

"Yeah, I got that feeling too, but maybe they need some privacy."

"They'll get that later, well...except for Gerald, but for now we need to initiate him into our little club."

I laughed, "You and the club stuff. Okay, well if he seems to be having problems with all this then we'll figure out what to do."

Everyone took a turn at the toilet and soon we were back in Johnny's room, everyone looking at one another and waiting for what came next. Johnny turned off the overhead light and that left only a small bedside lamp, but even that seemed too bright. Johnny had a solution though. From somewhere he produced two fat candles on plates and lit them, then turned off the lamp. Now that was more like it.

As the flames flickered causing ripples of light across the room, Johnny started things off by leaning in and kissing me. I watched from the corner of my eye as Walter and Donnie kissed briefly, then began to fondle each other through their briefs. 

Gerald eyed all of us as he rubbed his hardon through his briefs and I motioned him over to play with me and Johnny. Soon the briefs came off, and now only Tony and Caleb were still dressed.

"You guys just gonna watch, or are you gonna play?" Johnny asked with a devilish smile.

Caleb looked at Tony, shrugged, then pulled off his briefs exposing his 7" of hard pecker. Tony looked it over and seemed impressed, but when he removed his own briefs a few seconds later it was our time to be impressed.

Of course Johnny had seen him in the showers at school, but never completely hard, and even he was surprised at the 8 inches of ebony flesh that Tony was sporting.

"Oh man, that's huge," Caleb said, his eyes wide open, "I thought I was big..."

"You are man," Tony said, "for a white boy," he added, causing all of us to crack up. 

Johnny and I were both about the same size these days, around 6.5 inches and were comfortable with what we had. It all fit in the right places and brought us great pleasure, so we never really wished for more.

"Looks tasty," Johnny said to Caleb, "better try it out Caleb, so you can tell us how good it is."

Caleb looked at Tony who swallowed hard and nodded, and Caleb was on the thing like a dog on a pork chop. He was noisy as he slurped and sucked and attempted to take all of it, but at first he had trouble doing that. He'd get about 5 or 6 inches in his mouth, then when it hit his throat he'd gag on it. However, Caleb was not a quitter, and eventually he was able to control his gag reflex, and when he finally got all of it in his throat, Tony cried out and bucked up like he'd been electrocuted and began to fire off his load down Caleb's throat.

Caleb eventually pulled up some to breathe, and that's when he got a good taste of Tony's sperm and he gobbled the rest down greedily, then smacked his lips and licked Tony clean.

"Oh man, that was good," Tony panted, "better than I ever got from any of those boys at the home."

"Glad you liked it, you taste good and you make a lot of sperm."

"Yeah, us black guys can make lots of babies, that's for sure," he chuckled.

"Oh no," I joked, "Is Caleb pregnant now?"

"Naw, got to get it up the butt for that to happen," Caleb teased back.

I saw Tony's cock throb as he thought about that, but I don't suppose at this point that he thought he had a chance of that happening.

I was curious to see what Tony would do now that he had gotten his rocks off, but I didn't have to wait long. Leaning in he kissed Caleb, then slid down his body, licking and sucking his way down to his pecker, where he gave him as good a blowjob as he had gotten.

I could see Caleb's toes curling and I knew it was a big one, then he exploded in Tony's mouth and Tony swallowed every drop. When Tony had cleaned Caleb's pecker up with his tongue, he moved up and sat by Caleb and threw his arm around him, almost as if he was claiming him. I thought it was cute and I nudged Johnny who had been giving me a hickie on my shoulder.

"Damn, I hope mom and dad don't see that," I complained.

"Oh, just tell them some girl gave it to ya'," he laughed.

"Yeah, right."

"Well, I'm tired," Tony announced suddenly, "is it okay if I go on to bed?"

"Sure, you know the way," Johnny said, "the bed's made and all you gotta do is slide in."

"I'm pretty tired too," Caleb said, yawning suddenly.

"Well, you two go on and get some sleep," I said rolling my eyes.

"What? You think we gonna' go have sex or something?" Tony asked grinning.

"I sure the hell hope so," Johnny laughed, "If you don't you're crazy. May be your last chance for a while Tony."

"Yeah, not many chances at the home."

When they had gone, Gerald sat down at our feet and stroked our legs as he talked, "I'll stay in here for a while and give em' some privacy."

"Good idea, but damn I wish I could watch those two fuck," I said lustily.

"You think that's what they're gonna do?"

"Hell yeah, wouldn't you?"

"Yeah, I would, but I wonder if Caleb can handle that monster."

"Yeah, trust me, he can, and he's had his eye on it all night. He's had it down his throat and now he's gonna want it up his butt."

"God, that's making me so horny," Johnny said attacking me.

"Okay, okay...I'm all yours lover boy. How you want me?"

He wanted me doggie style and I decided that I might as well help Gerald out as I was being fucked. As Gerald knelt in front of me I took his cock in my mouth and Johnny's in my ass, and eventually I was filled at both ends with hot teenage spunk and loving every minute of it.

After they rested they teamed up on me and gave me a good tonguing and an intense orgasm as Walter and Donnie fucked on the bed beside us.  When everyone had got their rocks off we piled down in a tangle of arms and legs and rested for awhile. 

We were young and could go more than once, but as we got older it took longer for us to recharge. We actually slept a little, then woke up and emptied our bladders and started again, this time swapping around and sharing our bodies with one another. Today I read about how hung up people are with their bodies, but back then me and my buddies had no such hang ups. We'd heard the slogan Free Love, and all that, and had seen the Hippie movement on TV, but we had our own idea of what free love was, and that night we certainly lived that idea.

Walter and Donnie eventually moved to the floor and Gerald laid down with them, leaving Tony and Caleb alone to enjoy each other. Once I awoke needing to pee and untangled myself from Johnny, slipped on my underwear, and went off to the bathroom. The door was closed and I figured it had to be either Caleb or Tony since everyone else was accounted for, and Johnny's folks had their own bathroom.

I tried the door and found it was unlocked and walked in to find both Tony and Caleb there, but they weren't peeing.

"Oh, sorry," I said taking in the scene and liking what I saw.

Tony had Caleb bent over the vanity and was pounding him hard, and my interruption hadn't slowed him down one bit.

"It's okay, thought we locked the door," Caleb said grinning, "Will you lock it for us."

"Oh, okay...but I really need to pee."

"So, lock the door, then pee, and you can watch the show," he giggled.

"You okay with that Tony?"

"Uh huh," he said, his eyes glazed over as he continued breeding Caleb.

I somehow managed to empty my bladder through my erection, but I stayed hard even after I shook off the last few drops, and I began to stroke my pecker as I watched Tony fuck my friend.

Tony's ass was a thing of beauty, just like the rest of his body, and I was glad to see that it had escaped the whippings that dotted his arms and back. The scars were more pronounced beneath the sheen of his sweat, and I had this urge to reach out and touch them, to make sure they were real, and to somehow comfort him. But Tony didn't need any comforting at the moment. He was lost in his lust as he pounded Caleb relentlessly, and I was fascinated by the way his body moved.

I moved closer and watched the black tube of flesh enter Caleb's ass and then pull out almost all the way before driving back in again. I could smell their sweat and the fragrant aroma of butt sex and I found myself pounding my pecker even harder. 

"Come over here," Caleb said in a dreamy voice, and when I did, he grabbed my pecker and took over for me. I leaned down and instinctively kissed him as he jacked my pecker faster, and soon I cried out and began to unload on Caleb's thigh. 

Tony reached out and touched me gently as I continued to come, and then he stiffened, moaned, and began to fill Caleb with his seed. I took one look at Tony's cute face in the throws of his orgasm and moved against him and began kissing him as he panted like a dog in the sunshine.

"Wow, that was really, really good," he said, finally breaking the kiss and letting his now spent pecker slide out of Caleb with a plopping sound.

"Damn, it's messy back there," Caleb chuckled, feeling the spunk run down  his leg.

"I'll clean you up," Tony said grabbing one of the towels we'd used to dry off with.

"Wait," I said quickly, "Let's use a washcloth first, then we can rinse it out and there won't be any evidence left behind," I chuckled.

"Oh, yeah...good idea."

I wetted a washcloth and handed it to Tony, and went over to the toilet and grabbed some toilet paper and cleaned up as best I could, then flushed it down and pulled my briefs back up.

"Well, I'll leave you two to clean up and find your way back to bed. See ya' tomorrow," I offered.

"Yeah, night," Tony said.

"Goodnight Robert, and thanks," Caleb said beaming.

I just smiled and headed out the door. I couldn't wait to tell Johnny what had just happened, but unfortunately he was still asleep when I got back. I snuggled in beside him and soon I was asleep too.

************************************************

Come morning I awoke to find Johnny gone, and Gerald in bed with me. I frowned, wondering how that had happened, but Johnny soon returned and laid down between the two of us.

"Morning," I said kissing his cheek.

"Morning, had to pee. I peeked in on Tony and Caleb and they were fucking under the covers," he chuckled.

"No way. I caught them fucking in the bathroom last night and they let me watch, and Caleb jacked me off and I came all over his thigh," I said quickly.

"Oh man, wish you had come and got me. We should go over now and rip the covers off them and join in," he laughed.

"Probably done by now, maybe we can figure out a way to get the two of them alone sometime soon. I think Tony would be cool with that, and I know Caleb would be."

"Yeah, we'll work on it," Johnny yawned, then settled down against me and soon we were both sleeping.

When we awoke next it was almost noon. We'd slept through breakfast, if there was any, but lunch was being cooked even as we yawned and stretched. We emptied our bladders and got dressed and walked in to the Heavenly aroma of ham and black eyed peas cooking. It was a tradition in both our families to serve those dishes on New Year's Day, but there was other stuff as well in case someone didn't like those things.

Tony and Caleb acted as if nothing had happened and I'd begun to think I'd dreamed the whole bathroom thing. We ate with Johnny's folks and they treated Tony just like they treated the rest of Johnny's friends, and I was happy to know that my second set of folks were almost as cool as my own.

After we ate, we helped clean up a little, but my other mom soon ran us off, and we decided to go for a ride in the Bug Bus. Fortunately there was plenty of room for all of us, and Tony and Caleb seemed perfectly happy in the far back all by themselves. I kept looking back to see if they were getting frisky, but I couldn't really see anything but there shoulders and their heads. I could only guess where their hands were.

"Let's go to the river," Donnie suggested.

"Okay, everyone okay with that? Tony what time you gotta be home?"

"Five or six. I got time."

"Okay, off we go," Johnny said, and as we listened to the Beatles on the radio, we headed down Elliott Street. 

Soon we arrived at the river and Johnny turned down the main trail and drove slowly as we looked around. There were a few cars there, guys fishing most likely, but once we got past them we didn't see another car the whole time we were there.

We drove along the trails for a while then Johnny pulled up near the river bank and we all got out. There was a natural low water damn here built of accumulated rocks and it helped to slow the water down and offered some refuge for fish there. Usually there was a fisherman or two out there on the rocks but that day we were all alone.

The rest of us had been here before but for Tony it was all brand new and from the look on his face he was impressed.

"Look at that old river, just rolling on down pretty as you please. Probably rolls right on down to the Mississippi then out to the ocean. Ever wish you could just jump in a boat and float on down the river and just see where it took ya'?" he said softly.

"I want to see the ocean some day," Gerald said looking out at the rushing water beyond the end of the damn, "Hopefully when I sign up for the army."

I could sense there was more to this than just a wish to see the ocean for Tony, it was about his life, not being in control, not having a family, and not feeling like he belonged anywhere.

I stepped up behind him and laid a hand on his shoulder, "Might be a bumpy ride buddy. Maybe you should wait till you can afford a yacht or something," I teased.

"Huh, like that's gonna happen," he said smiling, the spell broken, "I might drive down to the ocean sometime though. Texas ain't that far."

Suddenly I had a amazing idea, but I wasn't about to reveal it till I talked to Johnny and our folks.

"Come on guys, let's get out of here, it smells fishy here," I said after a few more minutes.

"That's cause this is where the little fishies live," Johnny laughed, "come on Cinderella let's go."

"Cinderella?" I barked, "So who are you? Prince Charming."

"Yeah, and Donnie and Walter and Gerald and Tony are four of the dwarfs."

"That's Snow White, Dumbo," I laughed.

"Wasn't Dumbo the elephant? Now I'm really confused."

We piled into the bus and Johnny drove us back to town and we wound up at DQ where we went inside to place our orders. While we waited for our treats we talked up the girl at the counter, a Senior named Jessie, and I noticed Gerald seemed to be giving her a lot of attention.

Back in the bus with our ice cream I teased Gerald about his flirting, "So, Gerald do you think Jessie might be interested in going on a date?"

"With who?" he asked looking stricken.

"With you dummy. You were sure looking her over, and she didn't seem to mind."

"Aww...I don't know, she's a senior, probably be going away to college next year, and she sure ain't gonna be interested in a guy like me."

"Don't sell yourself short Gerald. You're a good guy and any girl would be lucky to have you for a boyfriend."

"You're prejudiced though," Gerald chuckled, "cause you've seen my pecker."

"We all have, and we still like you," Johnny joked, "but seriously, Robert is right, you're okay, and you don't ever have to feel like you're not as good as anyone else."

"Thanks guys," Gerald said, then he fell quiet and didn't say much the rest of the day. I think he was touched by our support and maybe reflecting on his life as most of us were that year.

Eventually we dropped Tony off, then Walter, Gerald, and Donnie, and Johnny drove us to my house to check in with my folks. Tonight Johnny was spending the night with me and we had a lot to talk about.

1970 lay ahead of us, new and wondrous, with more adventures and drama to unfold. We were nearing the end of our childhood, but we still had the joy of a child as we went forward, loving and living, and finding our way in a world that was shiny and brand new to us.
