You won't be seeing Mark around anymore. I broke it off last night." Good riddance to bad news girl," Gloria said turning the kettle on for coffee."Le...t's not talk about him today okay G?" Kelly asked. "I'm not happy with the way things ended, but it is over for good." Kelly watched as G got a mug from the cupboard and grabbed the jar of Blue Mountain instant coffee Kelly stocked just for her friend. Kelly had an espresso machine, a coffee maker and a coffee bean grinder all for those who liked. More silence, turning ever so slowly to sexual tension. She looked at me in the eyes, grabbing me by my shirt after a few seconds. She had the most beautiful face; dark, almond-shaped eyes and soft, pink lips. 'Fuck Andrew', she said quietly, 'What the fuck do you want?' I grabbed her behind her ass and shoved her against my body. 'I don't even care about anything else. All I want is you'. It was a lie, and I was sure I would regret this in the morning, but saying 'All I want is your ass'. As he started to speak to the class, he introduced me as a new transfer student. I made it thru the first few weeks at the new school, with no trouble. But that didn’t last too long. As I was walking to my last class of the day, some black teen pushed me into the wall then laughed at me. I entered the gym, I was tackled by another student, and he started laughing as I fell to the floor. As I entered the locker room, it was completely quiet. I dropped my pants to change into my. Just a little. But now… now that I’m here, happily alive and standing at the genesis of my wildest dreams: now I believe. The countless hours spent quietly and wildly daydreaming of this, of my lover. The wishing on wishes so quixotic I might well have been throwing quarters in the Trevi Fountain and pleading for a taste of the moon. The frustrating silence through all of the missed opportunities neither could foresee, the fleeting moments wondering what in the hell I was thinking. Emotions in.
