A Boy And His Bike - Chapter 7

He lived about 10 mins away by bike so today was the day, time to ride through his neighborhood and see if he would notice me or if I could catch a bit of him working in his yard.
I would take whatever I could get at this point.
As I pull into his neighborhood my gut sinks, can't turn back now!
Then I see it, in the driveway I see his truck!
YESSSSSSSS!

His front door is shut and no one is in the yard but this is his house.
A cool two story home that looked like it was straight out of the 70's.
So now that I knew where he lived, this is where I would be every weekend until I caught him in his front yard.
Yes, I was determined!

For the next couple of weeks everytime I was there I would see women and kids and wonder if any of them were his family.
I never mentioned to him that I had been to his neighborhood and he never mentioned it so I assumed he just hadn't seen me.
Oddly enough during this time I made friends with other kids in this neighborhood around my age, so it made it less strange when I was there as I would go there and hang out with the kids for a few hours during the day HOWEVER, I always had one eye on his house to make sure I wouldn't miss him coming out of his house and heading somewhere...
I was smitten...

Math! - Chapter 8

So even with the knowledge of his home and the after school time with Mr. X, I still wasn't getting enough time with him. Luckily for me, the stars saw fit to find a way to make us come together. Math, you see I was never great with numbers, I was more of an artistic kid who focused on the imagination... numbers were outside of my wheelhouse. After school one day I was talking to Mr. X and told him I was going to have to spend more time on math since it was the one class I was failing.. then all of a sudden, he says to me.. "You know I'm a math tutor right?" OMG OMG OMG. No.. I didn't know, but how can we make this happen.. how soon and where do we meet? All of these thoughts were running through my head. This was it, this was the big break I needed, something outside of what we are doing at the school to get to know him better. He says he could just teach me at the end of the day after school but he thought it might be against some policies, so he says ...

The Plan To Get The Man - Chapter 5

As I have gotten older I have found myself to be very good in the art of information gathering. The age of the internet has made it a lot easier but it all started with my desire to be with Mr. X. Like I said I knew he had a family, he had mentioned them before and even had photos of his wife and kids on his desk, so this wasn't a big deal. However I needed to find out where he lived, I wanted to know if he was close to my house or on the other side of town. I wanted to know more about his life outside of the school, it was obsessive yes, but with the intent to just try and get around him and maybe entice him to want to get to know me. All my life I had felt like an old soul, a kid at heart but with the sensibilities of an older man. So what I needed to do was to convince him that I wasn't like the average kid at school, that I had something to offer that would allow him to let his guard down and let me in. This sounds very crazy to me now, but at this age and the situa...

High School & The Man Of My Dreams - Chapter 2

So the year is 1991 and I am in my sophomore year of high school. My parents had recently divorced and I was a comic book kid who loved art and music. I spent my entire middle school career as an introvert, however I had learned to hip hop dance and on the final school dance of my 8th grade year I actually danced in front of everyone. This became my legacy going into my freshman year as the "dancing kid". To be very honest I looked like Harry Potter but danced like MC Hammer, it was pretty wild. So coming into high school I had a reputation and this made my HS years much easier even with my struggles with sexuality. We will skip over my freshman year as it wasn't as eventful as my 10th and 11th grade years. Going into the 10th grade I was already slightly older than most of the other kids as my mom had decided to keep me an extra year in the 5th grade which caused me to lose all of my friends at that young age. Although I don't remember too many details I do ...
