Chapter 1

1984

 

Thirteen-year-old, handsome Curtis sat next to his best friend, Brian, also thirteen, on the school bus on the ride home. In a week, seventh grade would be out for the summer.

He’s so cute.Brian knew he was bisexual. Brian had fallen in love. His chest tingled, and his stomach quivered with delight. He felt lighter than air. Curtis’s blue eyes were so beautiful, and he was so cute, even cuter than Robbie, the handsome muscular boy Brian had been admiring in the gym locker room. Brian wanted to hug and kiss Curtis right now, but how could he, with the kids on the bus? And he didn't even know if Curtis was gay. 

He smiled as he glanced at Curtis, revealing his braces. Brian couldn’t wait to see Curtis’s feet this summer—he had seen them when they'd swum at Curtis’s house in the past, but he hadn't been attracted to Curtis then.

"In Octopussy," Curtis explained as the bus reached a stoplight, "James Bond is in Cuba in the beginning, and there’s even someone who plays Castro, you know."
