My Life From The Beginning – Part II – Teenager II

A continued look back at my life in relation to being gay.
WARNING: Might contain blatant sexual references and encounters.



Continued from the previous "My Life" post.


I awoke the next morning and knew I needed to do damage control from what happened between JW and I. I began with telling the other guys in the room I have a weird fog over what happened the night before. "I was so out of it last night" I would tell them. When JW sat at the breakfast table with all of us, I mentioned it one more time. He said I seemed pretty unusual anyways so he figured I was sleepy. That was it. That is all that JW and I ever talked about what happened that night, for the time being. 


That summer my dad got a new job that would move me and my family to Oregon. I was excited for something new in my life, but also sad at all the awesome opportunities I had going for me in my junior year of high school. 


I had been looking around an old website geared towards gay teens like myself. XY.com. It was a early version of myspace, but for gay teens. I started looking at guys from the new area I would be living in and found a guy who was my age and going to the same school I would be attending. He didn't give me a picture and I didn't give him one, since we were both not "out". 


On my first visit down to my new high school I walked past a guy with girls on either arm. I didn't know him of course but something inside of me said I did. 


I went to church the sunday before school started and met all the youth my age. There was one girl in particular who I had noticed and who had noticed me during sacrament meeting. After church she came up to me and said, "Hey I have to get going, but I wanted to introduce myself. I'm S. I hear you're in choir, so I'll see you there." I managed to get out a simple hello before she darted off. 


The first day of school, I got my classes aligned and went to my first class, choir. When I walked in the door immediately two people came up to me to introduce themselves. A girl and that guy I had seen previously. They asked me where I moved from, why, and what my dad's job was. 


S came up to me right after choir ended and asked how my first day was going. She invited me to eat lunch with her and her friends. Luckily for me, S was quite popular and I was introduced to more people than I could remember on the first day. Including D, the same guy I saw before school and who introduced himself to me before choir. D and S were best friends, but not dating.


Later on that week I logged on to XY.com again and began chatting with the guy. We made small chit chat and he had to get going. A few weeks later we chatted again, and we both said we think we know who the other person is. Though neither of us wanted to say each others name, I asked if his name was D—it was. He asked mine, and he was right. We had finally made the connection. D said we should hang out sometime and get to know one another, and I said I would like that. We made plans to meet the first weekend in October, as my parents would be gone all day Saturday at general conference.


That Saturday rolled around and I put on my favorite shirt and put on my cologne, and awaited for D to come over. We started to watch "I Know What You Did Last Summer", but five minuets in, D turned to me and said, "Well, are we going to do anything?" We turned off the movie and we went into my room. I told him I have never really kissed a guy before. He said he would show me, and he leaned in and kissed me on the lips.  

1 Points of View:

  1. I always enjoy reading of youthful encounters. It is such a wonderful but challenging time in anyone's life but especially for gay and bisexual people. Keep writing. It opens windows of understanding for those who have in the past or are now having similar experiences.
