The Previous September
“Hey, look. There he goes,” Brad Corbin jeered as the students spilled out
onto the quad. I glanced up from my phone, preemptively annoyed, because
frankly, I didn’t like Brad. He was the biggest jerk I knew, followed closely
by his two best friends. He said he wasn’t racist or homophobic, but he was
both to a strong degree. He was one of those guys who thought they were
better than everyone, and he really needed to be taken down a peg or ten.
The only reason I ever allowed him in my presence was because I was
forced to, since we were both on the hockey team. I had no idea who he was
talking about, but I could already tell that whatever he was about to say was
going to be uncalled for. He had the attention of our whole group as we
headed to practice, so I looked to where he was not-at-all-subtly pointing.
My heart dropped a little when I saw who he was pointing at, and I
really hoped Brad wouldn’t cause any problems. I knew that guy. Well, kind
of. He was in my calculus class, and I’d been seeing him around for the past
three years. It was obvious he didn’t care if he attracted attention. He wore
whatever he wanted on any given day. He didn’t care if something was
labeled for a male or female, if he wanted to wear it, he did. He was pretty
good with make-up, too, even though he didn’t always wear it. The way he
dressed seemed to be dependent on his mood, or maybe it was all on a
whim.
He was wearing a pair of skinny jeans and a white tank top that rode
up enough as he moved to show a strip of skin above his waistline. He had
on the pearl choker that he wore nearly every day. He was looking down at
the ground, one hand on the backpack he’d slung over a shoulder, but he
glanced up as though he could sense he was being watched. He eyed our
little group with a look that wasn’t particularly friendly, then looked away
again. He wouldn’t have just outright challenged us if he perceived us as a
threat. He was greatly outnumbered by our group, and while he was bold,
he wasn’t stupid, and I knew that just from watching him in the class we
shared.
I’d seen him around in previous years, but not as much as I had my
third year sharing a class with him. And yeah, ok, I’d watched him before.
Something about him fascinated me. I’d never met anyone like him. I
wasn’t like, staring or anything. I just couldn’t imagine being so bold about
who I was, not caring about what anyone thought or said. There were things
in my past I’d done nothing but try to tamp down and hide, to fit in the box
with pretty wrapping that no one would ever dare unwrap. Things I never
wanted anyone to find out.
