Subject: Life at a Private School 22

The next day after Tim and I woke up, in separate beds for the sake of his
mother who was home the entire weekend before heading off to Melbourne
early next week, we got up and had a fabulous breakfast prepared by Sally.

Tim really liked Sally and I could tell why, instead of fussing around and
acting difficult with us, she sat down and had some coffee with us chatting
about her life, her studies and what it was like to work for people like
Tim and his family.  It was strange really having someone in the house who
wasn't a member or your family or a friend in the strict sense of the word.
I had always felt that Sally was like a friend and did not see her at all
as Tim's parents employee.

Tim explained that all of his life he had had people around him in the
house like Sally, but he had never really felt comfortable with them
because they were always so scared around him, but Sally was different and
was only a few years older than us.

We told her about the night out we all had planed and she gave us a huge
smile and asked if she could tag along too because she had heard that the
drag shows were the best in town.  Tim and I looked at each shrugging our
shoulders and readily agreed.  She then said that she would drive us so we
could drink if we wanted.  We both laughed at that because we had been
trying to work out who was going to be the designated driver, but since
Sally would come and drive we could both really have some fun!

After breakfast Tim and I decided that we would spend most of the day
lazing around the house and swimming and getting some sun in the early
spring day.  We both agreed that for the next few days neither of were
going to bring up school or the problems I was having.  The only thing that
I had to do that morning was ring my mother to tell her I was OK and see
what was happening at home.

Tim stood with me as I spoke to my mother on my phone who was trying to
whisper since my father was in the house.  I could hear him through the
phone asking my mother who was on the phone.  I was hoping that he would
just take her word that it was someone trying to sell her something but he
worked out it was me and grabbed the phone at her.

I didn't even bother to listen the tirade of abuse that streamed through
the phone after the first few words of "Get back home right now".  I hung
up and Tim and I embraced for a few moments before we headed out to the
pool.  Tim noticed the glum expression on my face and solemn expression so
he suggested that he give me a quick shoulder massage.

I could see the horny gleam in his eyes and knew what he really wanted, but
I wasn't in the mood for sex, so after a wonderfully relaxing massage I
jumped into the pool and grinned at him through the water droplets all over
my face.

We had a great couple of hours chasing each other round the pool, laughing
while dunking each other under the water.  Then once we were really tired
we lounged out on the chairs and went to sleep in the sun.

I was getting more and more excited all afternoon about going out later
that night.  I really had no idea what to expect after all I had never
really been to a gay bar before.  So many thoughts were running through my
head, would anyone stop us going in, we were not yet 18 and not really
supposed to be in a bar.

What were the people like, would there be other guys young like us or would
they all be old guys wearing leather.  I knew that was a bit silly thinking
that all older gay mean wore leather. I had seen a TV show on the Mardi
Gras and the only bit that I had caught before my father turned it off
mumbling something about bloody queers, was the bit showing a whole lot of
guys wearing leather walking up the street.

I also remembered that I was supposed to ring Sam up that afternoon because
I had promised o tell her if we were going out.  Sam already had plans so
it was just going to be Dan, Nick, Tim, Sally and myself.  While we were
talking about our plans I asked Tim whether he thought that Dan had more
experience with guys and stuff than he was letting on.  Tim though about it
for a while and asked why did I ask.

I explained that I just had a feeling about it because he seemed to be very
knowledgeable about the Albury where we were going tonight and the whole
gay scene.  Tim didn't really think so although I still sensed that there
was more to Dan than we knew about.

We still had to go to the school musical tonight, although I had decided
that after last night's run in with McAllister I was going to sit with the
rest of the orchestra.  I hadn't mentioned to Tim that McAllister had come
up to me last night because I just didn't want him getting even more
worried about me or the whole situation.

Luckily the night at school was very uneventful and I managed to get
through it without anyone saying or doing anything nasty.  I saw the
headmaster form a distance but as soon as he saw me he turned and walked
quickly the other way.  The only shock of the night was seeing my father at
the steps of the music centre obviously waiting for me at the end of the
night.

I had no intention of seeing him or having a stand up screaming match with
him.  I had purposely not told my mother Tim's address so there was no way
she could accidentally give it to him so I knew that once I was away from
the school he could not just turn up on Tim's doorstep looking to drag me
back home.

I reflected for a moment that the whole situation was all so silly.  I
hadn't come out or anything and yet I was being abused to the ends of the
earth by my father, just because I dared to stand up against the bigoted
and stupid school.  I knew though deep down that the school would have
asked my father about sexuality and probably inferred that I was "not a
mans' man" as I had once been told by the headmaster.  I think that my
family knew that I was gay but like so many parents choose to pretend they
don't or cling to some vain hope that their child is not gay.

Instead of going out the front of the music centre, Tim and I went out the
back way of the hall.  We met up with Nick and Dan who were coming back to
Tim's before we all went out tonight.  We almost ran all the way to car and
all of us were laughing and carrying on just like little kids.

Sally was waiting for us when we got in the house and really surprised us
by flashing a really tight top at us with he breasts almost hanging out.
We laughed and whistled at her even though none of us were straight and we
all preferred guys.

"Sally, you aint gonna have much luck picking up a guy tonight even dressed
like that!" Dan laughed as well joined in.

During the afternoon Tim and I had decided that we were really going dress
up the night out and have some real fun.  We had chosen to wear similar
clothes in fact.  Tight black T shirts and blue 501 levis, which would just
show the very top of our matching CK underwear.  I always preferred to wear
white CKs and Tim preferred black.  I grinned at the thought that later on
when we moved in together we would always know whose was whose underwear
just by the colour.

By the time we came back downstairs with our hair all spiked up in a really
sex way Dan gave a little whistle and said we were sure in for a good time
tonight.  As we were walking out of the house I caught a glimpse of the
five of us in the mirror.  Four very good looking athletic boys all dressed
in clothes that accentuated and pronounced the young male bodies.  I
grinned at my reflection and realized that the four of us looked damn hot
even if I did say so myself!

Dan had put on a blue wife beater with the slogan "Lick me till I scream"
that seemed to make his hard pert nipples stand out even more than normal.
For a moment I am imagined myself licking those nipples but shook my head
and reminded myself that I had stunning boyfriend who was standing right
next to me.

I still had a few butterflies in my stomach about what we were going to do,
I accepted the fact that I was gay, that wasn't an issue, but going to a
gay bar felt like a huge step for us!  It was that whole thing of not just
being gay but also it was a bit like standing from a street corner and
shouting I'm gay, I'm gay!

Dan took control and directed Sally where she could park that would be safe
and not too far a walk to the bar.  The area seemed a bit dark and dingy
but we were all there so I didn't feel all that unsafe.  Dan explained that
we were down a back street from Oxford Street, about a five minute walk,
but the car would be safe there and it was perfectly safe to walk around.

I took Tim's hand in mine and squeezed as if to reassure both him and me
that we were alright and doing the right thing.  As we got closer I could
hear the steady beat of dance music and say a few people standing outside
the club smoking.  I was instantly nervous as we approached worried that
they might stop us and ask for ID, but instead we just walked in a side
entrance and up some stairs to the source of the music.

My heart was beating and my eyes were wide open as we walked through a
lounge type area with a few pool tables.  A few of the boys around them
gave us an up and down look as we passed but most just ignored us.  I
looked around at the guys there expecting to see something, but not sure
what I was supposed to see or look at.

I felt slightly light headed from all the excitement of actually being in
the Albury and grasped Tim closer to me.  We passed lots of people and went
into small cocktail lounge where a drag queen was singing next to a piano.
Dan waved at various people and as he passed someone he knew gave them a
quick kiss on the lips or the cheek.

I craned my head around as we passed a few very hot looking guys and was
shocked when they looked directly back at me and smiled.  I quickly looked
away and pulled Tim even closer until we were almost on top of each other.
Dan stopped us all and asked us whether we wanted drinks, we all nodded our
heads and he shouted above the noise that since it was our first time he
would buy us all a round.  After he took our orders Dan scampered off still
saying hi to different people including a lot of very hot guys to get us
drinks.

The drag queen that had been singing had now stopped and was telling
dreadful jokes to the audience who were laughing very hard.  Tim and I
leaned against the wall watching everything going on trying not appear to
green or fresh while still trying to remain calm and collected.  Nick was
standing with us grinning from ear to ear and wildly chattering in Sally's
ear about something that we could not hear.  She was definitely excited and
I could see her eyes following the ass of a very cute guy as he walked by.
As he went past me Sally looked up and caught me perving too and she
motioned for me to look at Tim who almost had his mouth open and tongue
dragging on the floor.

You would think that we had never been surrounded by attractive guys before
but I think that it was more the novelty of seeing lots of gay guys all
being so open about their sexuality in public that just made it even more
exciting.

Dan came back with our drinks and explained that we were in the piano bar
of the hotel where every night they had on live singers. Tonight's singer
was a drag queen named Hugh Monroe.  Apparently he was extremely popular
judging by the number of people that were crammed into every available spot
there was.  I noticed that lots of guys old, young and in between would
slow down as they passed by us and look just a little more than was
necessary and I felt quite uncomfortable by all the attention.  We almost
downed our beer in one go out of nerves I think and then decided to get
some more.  Tim offered to buy the next round and wandered off to do so
leaving me with the gang.

As Tim wandered off I watched him walking up the steps and realized just
how attractive my boyfriend was.  His youthful body was bulging with
muscles in all the right spots and his ass was tight and round almost
depicting the perfect idea of a bubble butt!  I grinned as he turned around
and winked at me and I realized that he had caught me checking out his ass
in the mirror by the stairs.  I didn't mind after all he was my boyfriend
and I can have him naked whenever I want!

I wasn't really paying attention to the drag queen on stage and was
surprised when I looked up and she was sitting in Dan's lap singing a song
that I recognized.  However I didn't think that the words she was singing
were quite right as they were rather rude.  She looked up and I panicked
for a moment as I though she was going to come up to me but she instead
went back to her little stage.  I breathed a sigh of relief and at that
moment Tim came back with his hands and arms full of drinks.

Tim and I chatted in between the noise all around us, talking about the
place and the people that we could see around us.  As the night wore on we
had more and more drinks until we were feeling a bit drunk.

Dan had been talking to some friends and he then interrupted us and said
for us to follow him next door to the main bar as the proper drag show was
starting.  Up until this point we thought that this was the drag show that
we had been watching so we were really surprised that there was more.

We walked around the cocktail bar and through a door into a new bar with
even more people than we had seen before.  To move through we had to
squeeze our way past all sorts of young guys and older guys.  Some were
really attractive while others were just normal, but a lot seemed to be
really weird looking.  I made sure that Tim's hand was very firmly in mine
as we were dragged around the front of the bar by Dan, almost into the
middle of most people.

Once there Dan shouted in our ears that the show would start in about five
minutes and would blow our minds.  We ordered some more drinks battling to
the bar and back and just as we made our way back the lights in the bar
went down.  Different music started playing from the pervious heavy dance
music and spot lights went on in the middle of the bar.

I could just hear the opening bars of Joseph and his Technicolor Dream Coat
as a drag queen all dressed up in an Egyptian costume came out.  The show
was amazing with three drag queens and two very attractive boys dancing and
miming to about half a dozen of the songs form the musical.  It was very
well down in a funny sort of way watching men dressed as women mime to
songs and dance around behind the bar.  At the end of the show the crowd
went wild with applause including us!

Dan and Nick seemed to know every one of the drag queens names as they gave
us a running commentary on who they were and what they did which we thought
was highly amusing.  The funniest part was when Dan told us that one of
them was a very good looking attractive guy when not in drag.  But for the
life of me I just couldn't see it at all!

So far Tim and I had had an amazing night and we were quite drunk by the
time the show was over and we thought that the night was over since it was
about 1 am by this time.  But Dan had other ideas in store for us and told
us that we were going to have coffee in California and then go to Flinders.

I looked at him blankly as we walked out and said California?  He laughed
and said No the Californian it's a coffee shop down the road and we are
meeting some of my friends.  I shrugged my shoulders looking at Tim and had
a quick chat to see whether we were both ok to go out still.  I was
starting to get a bit weary, but it sounded like fun and I was really
curious about meeting Dan's friends.

We half wandered and staggered down the street chatting and talking about
the night so far and how much fun we had had.  Poor Sally had pretty much
been ignored the entire night apart from a few girls who had come up to her
in hope that she was a lesbian.  She had flirted with the girls but
admitted that she wasn't actually gay or even bisexual and they had lost
interest really quickly.

Nick and Dan walked in front of us talking and holding hands, even though
it was a main street and anyone driving by could see.  Thinking about it I
decided that we could be this bold as well, after all Tim was my boyfriend
and we were on Oxford Street which is supposed to be the most gay street in
the country!

I took Tim's hand in mine and for the first time with people all around us
in the middle of the street we held hands to show that we were together and
a real true couple.

For the first time in my entire life I felt complete and whole as Tim and I
were being honest with the world.  I turned to Tim while waiting for the
traffic lights to change and kissed him full on the lips.
