Excerpt:
A few days later Cruz caught Reese on his way out to the parking lot after school. He appeared so smug and at the same time seemed so debonair as he approached Reese. When he was close enough, he looked around, perhaps to make sure there was no one in ear shot. There was no greeting from Cruz before he asked, “Relationship troubles?”
He responded, “You mean Morgan?” Cruz nodded his head as if telling him duh. “We’re only friends.”
“Oh.” Cruz shrugged, “So he’s not gay then?”
“No he’s not gay.” Reese did not feel it was his place to share Morgan’s bisexuality.
Cruz stared at him, only perpetuating Reese’s discomfort. “You’re gay though?”
“Yes. You’re gay too?” He figured fair was fair.
Nodding in agreement, Cruz asked, “Do you have a boyfriend?”
“No.” Reese was feeling as if he was being sized up added, “I hear you don’t either.” Cruz was silent, glancing away and yawning, appearing disinterested in the conversation. Reese decided that he’d better make his move, “You want to go out sometime?”
Cruz turned toward him and seemed to be thinking over his response. Reese smiled feeling hopeful and then concerned he might be coming off as desperate. Cruz nodded, “That would be fine by me.” Then he turned to walk away without saying another word.

James - The Author
I have a
horrible time when it comes to writing about myself. It is not that I
have low self-esteem, but the fact that I am not comfortable talking about
myself.
For most of my
life, I have been writing and sharing it with my friends. They have
repeatedly told me I needed to publish my writing and share it with the world.
Now that I have, I am amazed at how many people admire it.
My interests
beyond writing include reading a variety of books, watching movies and drawing.
I truly
appreciate all the support and encouragement from my friends, family, and you.
I am so thankful to your support!
Keep on reading!
I am always interested in hearing about what people are reading, especially if
it is something I have written.
Thank you for
reading and letting me know what you think of my writing!
