nearly deserted hallway as he started to speak. He appeared nervous and with
his brow furrowed, he cleared his throat. “I was thinking,” he started, his
voice soft and low.
“Thinking? About what?”
“The yearbook. You’re a great hand at organizing and
brainstorming. You have a great eye for things.”
Hand. That wasn’t the best choice of words, given their history
together. “Thanks.”
“So, I was thinking that we could get together and chat about
some ideas. I’d like to make this yearbook a memorable one.”
Jace shrugged. He was indifferent to be involved. “Sure, I guess
so. When did you have in mind?”

“Cool.”
rested his hand on Jace’s shoulder, looking more confident. “My parents are

We can order take-out or pick up something on the way.”

of his hands against his jeans. It took everything in him to muster up the
courage to write that note to Jace and actually follow through with giving it
to him. He was glad he did, and he did feel better for doing so. He hoped that
Jace wouldn’t think he was some sort of asshole. At times he hated the way he
came across to others.
His mom kept telling him to straighten up and change his shitty
attitude. Hell, she wasn’t much of a role model herself, but she did have a
point. The only people that ever understood him were his friends. They never
hassled him about anything.
“Hey, man,” Mike said, coming out of the school. He joined
steps. “What’s up?”
“This is it,” he replied. His reason and plan for hanging out
there was to catch Jace alone, but that was all shot to hell now, with Mike’s
unexpected arrival. And while he did say what he wanted to on that little piece
of paper, he still felt the need to speak to Jace in person.
“I forgot to mention earlier that we’re celebrating Jace’s
birthday on Saturday. We’re heading out to the lake for a party. We’ll be
staying overnight. It’s nothing big, just a few beers, girls…that type of shit.
You’re welcome to come along with us.”
“Sounds good. Girls you say?”
“I could hook you up with someone. I’m kinda seeing Shelly
Barter and she has a couple of friends who aren’t half bad.”
“Dogs, eh?”
“Hardly. Anyway, why would you care what they look like? They
put out. It’s a guaranteed lay. The rest isn’t important.” Mike playfully
punched him in the arm. “Consider it done and you can thank me later.”
“Sure, whatever. Sounds like a plan. Listen, I need to ask you a
question and I don’t want you to get pissed or offended. Your cousin, Jace. Is
he, you know…a fag?”
Mike shot him a strange look as he removed his baseball cap.
“What makes you think that?”
“I dunno, man. It was a stupid question to ask and it’s totally
none of my business if he is. For fuck’s sake, don’t tell him I asked you
that.”
Mike shrugged. “He might be. He’s never had a girlfriend or
shown interest in them. Lots of people are gay. It’s no big deal if he is or
isn’t, and I won’t tell him that you asked me about it.”
“Thanks.”
“Jace is a little different. He’s always been that way. His
dad’s death was extremely hard on him and his mom. He’s been more distant since
it happened. I don’t ask him about it much because I figured he’d talk about it
if he wanted to.”
“It sucks about his dad.” He paused. “So, yeah, I’m in for the
weekend.”
“I’ll give you a shout later,” Mike said. “I gotta go. Mom will
be bitching if I’m late getting home today. I have to mow the friggin’ lawn.
It’s like a law around my house.”

“Nice car,” Jace said, as he fastened his seatbelt. He then
opened his backpack and fished for his cell to call his mom, to tell her he
wouldn’t be home straight from school.
“Thanks. It’s my mom’s, but she tends to use the Jeep more.”
lot. “Thanks for agreeing to come over and stuff. I’ve been meaning to ask you
over for a while.”
Jace pointed to his cell. “My mom.” He heard her pick up on the
other end. “Mom, yeah, I won’t be home until later. I’m heading to a friend’s
house. Yup, I’ll grab something to eat…Bye.” He snapped the phone shut. “Done.
You were saying?”
“I’m glad you agreed to come over.”
eyes stayed on the road ahead of them. “I thought you might be mad at me.”
Jace hadn’t been mad, he’d been downright pissed. “Not at all,”
he lied. “I’m cool with everything. Stuff happens.”
“I’m glad to hear you say that. I was a little worried that you
tell me to screw off. We’ll go through the drive thru at Mickey D’s. My treat.”
It was quite the change of heart since their little sexploration together.
“Great, man. I’m starved.” Jace glanced out the passenger’s side window at some
kids playing basketball as they passed a park. “Nice weather.”
“And a fantastic summer, I hope. It would suck if the weather
turned out to be crap since this will be my last here at home for a bit.”
“College?” Jace questioned.
“I think I want to be a doctor. I’m checking it all out and
weighing my options.”
“Like your dad.”

“I guess. That’s one heck of a scary thought, but some say that
we all turn into our parents at some point in our lives. Again, scary thought.”
Jace thought about his dad and how his life ended. “True
enough.”
After they’d picked up food,

driveways that led to rather grand houses. He pulled into one of those driveways
and announced they were there.
and held it open for Jace. “We can eat upstairs in my room,” he directed,
slipping his jacket off and kicking off his sneakers. “Mom has a fit if I wear
them in the house.” He rolled his eyes. “I don’t know why she cares, since the
maid’s in three times a week and does all the work.”
“Moms are hard to figure out. I don’t bother to try anymore.”
Considering how many hours Jace’s mom spent locked in her bedroom, he’d given
up on trying to understand her.
They went upstairs and when they reached
room, they both sat on the edge of the unmade bed and started to eat. “Gotta
love the fries,” Jace said, putting two in his mouth. “Nice and salty.”
I shouldn’t be eating this crap,” protested
“It isn’t good for you. Did you see that documentary where the dude ate it for
a solid month? Man, that was gross!”
“Nope, didn’t see it, but I heard about it.”
“You have to watch it sometime. It’ll turn you off from this
stuff.”
“Says you who is just about to devour it.” Jace smirked at his
cleverness. One up for him.
“I’m not making a good point, am I?”
God, he’s so cute

thought Jace.
When they’d finished,

remember our years together as a class. Do you have any ideas?”
“Not a clue.” Jace was honest. “Most won’t care anyway.”
“True,”
tossed his pen and notebook on the floor. Their eyes locked for a moment.
“Jace, can I ask you something?”
“Yeah…I guess.” A lump formed in the back of Jace’s throat.
“Can I kiss you? It’s okay if you say no, but I really want to.”
Jace nodded. He wanted this to happen.
“Yes?” asked

Jace gasped when

Jace’s cheeks grew warm, both sets of them and he felt like
