Prodigal

~4.4~

The next morning, I was looking for a book in the school library. I knew the librarian was in the front, but other than that, I thought I might be alone.

Jeffery walked up to me in the library.

“Hey.” He said to me.

“Hey.” I responded.

“Are…we okay?” Jeffery asked.

“Yeah. Why wouldn’t we be?”

“Last night, you seemed, you left suddenly, and…”

“Yeah, sorry about that, it was because, um-“ I was trying to come up with a lie.

“Was it because I felt your erection?” Jeffery asked.

“OH MY GOD!” I squealed. “SHHH!”

“What?” Jeffery responded. “It’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”

“Oh my God be quiet and yes it is!”

“No it’s not! It kinda got me excited too.”

“What? Feeling an…erection…got you excited?”

Jeffery suddenly seemed embarrassed or ashamed. “Well, kinda, yeah.”

“So are you not straight? Are you gay? Do you want dick?” I responded. “Cuz news flash Jeffery I’m not going to have a penis forever. It’s getting chopped the second I’m old enough.”

“Why are you getting pissed at me?” Jeffery asked, defensive. “Obviously this is confusing for me too, but it’s really crappy of you to get mad at me for wanting to talk about it. I let you talk about your confusions and concerns all the time!”

I was so upset by what he said. Partially because he was right, but partially because it was embarrassing me.

“You know what?” I said. “If you like the feeling of touching an erection, you should be dating a boy, not me.”
