It was Friday, the day before spring break. Billy jumped out of bed before his alarm clock rang. He looked around his room to make sure it was clean. He wanted everything to be in order for when his best friend Tommy arrived this evening. This would be the second weekend he spent with the boy and Billy was a bundle of nerves.

There he is again I thought to myself. He looks at me everytime he walks past, maybe its just me. Hes so cute. I hope he likes me.I bet he just wants to kick my ass. He has beautiful brown eyes,brown hair, hes tall for his age like me I bet. Everybody likes him, maybe they are scared of him. I heard he was crazy. I overheard some kids sayin he killed a kid. Thats heavy.

At last Tommy arrived and Billy greeted him as nonchalantly as possible. His mother and father left and the boys were once again left alone to do as they wished. Tommy would be staying the night and then tomorrow evening, Billys parents would take him home. "Surely he can handle one night with me right?" Billy thought to himself as he led the boy to his room to deposit his clothing.

When they were in the bedroom and Billy had grabbed his shorts, he was amused at how Parker stood nervously as if waiting to be instructed as to where to change his clothes. "You can change here if you want." Billy said as he took off his shirt and shoes. He watched the expression on Parkers face change from joy to horror. "Or you can use the bathroom." Parker smiled briefly as he turned and left the room. Billy sat on his bed and removed his socks and then his shorts and finally his underwear. "How do I always manage to find the shy kind?" Billy thought to himself

Billys parents had decided that he could go with them on their trip to Chicago. He was excited, if for no other reason than he would not be left alone for the next two days. His sleepover with Parker had ended strangely with the boy getting up early and going home before Billy had even woke up. He figured that he had freaked the boy out with his nightly activities, but he really did not care.

I was , id already been driving about a year illegally of course, and i always had access to a car, if i couldnt get a ride i could always borrow one and if that didnt work i would just steal one. Bill was a "horn dog"he was about six months younger than me.His girlfriend was down right hot and she kissed his ass,but for some reason he always felt the need to he was forever trying to get me to do the same but i wouldnt, there was only one time i cheated on my girlfriend and he knew nothing about that. that night we drove out to meet T.J. and hung out a bit, i liked him instantly and we quickly became friends.

It was still relatively early so the boys were able to spend several hours playing the video game; they had created a crazy looking character that made them both laugh. But they were all business as they took turns fighting their way through the ranks in hopes of winning a title. They did well until they reached the top twenty and Billy lost their first fight. Tommy gave him a hard time about it but he was barely able to beat his next opponent and Billy made the observation that

The next morning Billy was awakened by the sound of his parents scurrying about and packing. They had decided to grab some breakfast and then wonder around Chicago for a bit before coming back and checking out and heading to the airport. Billy told them he had had enough of the Chicago wind and wanted to sleep in. They agreed and told him they would be back by ten or ten-thirty and that he needed to be ready so as to not make them late.

When the boys had changed clothes they ran down the stairs and out the door. On the way to the store Tommy had spotted a few kids in the neighborhood and asked if Billy knew them. Billy replied that they were younger and that he had no desire to be a baby sitter. Tommy suggested that it would be a good way to make extra money and Billy pointed out that his parents were using money to compensate for their absence as it were, he didnt need money.

After that dream i became even more attracted to T.J. i spent all my free time with him and less with my girlfriend. i wanted to be his protector. one day when we were playin ball at his house;T.J. myself,Bill, and his step-brother. I picked a fight with his step-brother, just to get back at him for T.J. but T.J. one night at a show we were all slammin when this dude pushed T.J. down, so i walked up kneed him in the gut then broke his nose. T.J. freeked i then figured that as feerless as he was, he was not mean not an ounce. i learned that in reality he was feerless on the outside but a very frightened boy on the inside. he was afraid to be hurt by someone else.
