PROLOGUE

Paul Poe wrapped a towel around his waist after turning off the shower and
began walked back toward the lockers, not even bothering to towel down.  As
he walked toward me, I tried not to look.

I have known Paul all my life.  He was a year younger then Troy, my older
brother, which meant he was a senior this year.  Paul was devastatingly
handsome in that bad-boy kind of way.  Bad-boy was an apt description of
him.  Paul was a bully, but he didn't have Troy's charisma, so unlike my
brother, who was also a bully, Paul wasn't particularly popular.  Luckily
Paul hadn't been around as much since Troy had started college this fall.

He and Troy had been friends growing up, and he had the same penchant for
real meanness as Troy, which meant that small animals and smaller kids
weren't safe in our neighborhood.  Paul always found ways to fuck with me,
so I found ways to avoid him, even if he was my neighbor and one of my
older brother's best friends.  There's a story I've been told about how
Paul tied up his cousin and branded him with a wood-burning tool.  My mom
said the rumor was true, but that Troy hadn't had anything to do with it.
She always added that last part when she told the story.  The fact that she
felt she needed to spoke volumes.

I was still embarrassed about the fact that Paul had watched me run around
naked in the backyard and shoot my load onto the lawn last night.

I would never have gone through with such an exhibitionistic performance if
Billy hadn't dared me to.  Even though I sort of enjoyed the game I was
playing with Billy on the phone, it had gone too far.  Billy had forced me
to get naked and leave my clothes on the lawn, then shout out that the
truth about having a small dick.  Hell I hadn't ever even said that out
loud to myself before!  The worst thing about it was that Paul had heard it
all.  Now, just being in the same room with him caused me to blush. My
cheeks were burning, and I knew they were already red, but then I felt the
blush travel down my throat onto my chest.

Paul's penis made a substantial bulge in the towel that bobbed heftily as
he walked toward me.  I was changing out of my workout clothes.  I had my
head down, but curiosity compelled me to try stealing a couple of glances
at the generous basket Paul had between his legs.  I didn't like him, but
that didn't mean I hadn't noticed his physique.

As Paul walked past me, I couldn't resist checking him out. The generous
spray of dark brown hair on Paul's chest was pasted wet to his skin. There
was a narrow trial of hair that started halfway down Paul's abs until it
disappeared beneath his white towel. Paul caught my eyes with his own, and
I know saw him look down to check out my own small erection straining hard
against my sweaty gym shorts.

"You changin' or watchin', faggot?" he challenged me as he walked past.

My own diminutive erection always curves straight up when free of the
entanglement of clothing.  But when wearing pants or shorts my unfolding
erection always seems to get caught up in a fold somehow and instead of
pointing less noticeably upward, ends up making a slightly painful
90-degree tent pole that sticks straight out.  Watching Paul had brought my
boyhood to full attention.  I was glad that Paul and I were alone in the
locker room and that there were no other boys to notice my reaction. No
doubt they would have given me a hard time about my hard on, and even more
about the size of it.  It had happened before.

I turned so he wouldn't see my erection as I finished stripping off my gym
clothes.

My woody snapped free of the waistband of my shorts as I slipped them down,
thumping up against his pubes with an audible "smack".

I busied myself with my backpack for a few minutes, trying to work math
problems in my head, which was about the only cure for an erection that I
had discovered to be effective so far.  I looked across at Paul, now
sitting on the bench across from me in his underwear.

I was so nervous I decided to skip a shower and just get dressed even
though I was pretty sweated up.  I fished around in my backpack looking for
my boxers in an effort to cover up my woody, but they were nowhere to be
found.  Paul watched.  I took my t-shirt out of my backpack and started to
slip it on.

"Ain't you gonna shower?"  He asked.  There was a distinctly derisive tone
in his voice.

"Naa" I said, trying to seem casual, though I felt anything but casual at
the moment.  I just wanted to put as much space between Paul and me as
possible.  Its best to keep a distance from some people, and Paul was one
of them.  I kept my eyes on my backpack, and fished out my jeans, laying
them across my lap to conceal my erection while I continued to search,
desperately for my boxers.

I looked up to see Paul was sauntering towards me with that distinctive
cocky stride that characterized his walk. He pulled the backpack out of my
hands and tossed it behind him, then grabbed for the jeans I had lying
across my lap.  I started to grab for my jeans, but he seized my wrist and
twisted.

"Stand up," he ordered, and almost without thinking about it I found myself
standing in reaction to his command.  "Now put your arms out to your side
like you did last night."

"What?"

"You heard me." He said menacingly.  "Hold 'em out to your sides."

I stood there, unsure of what to say or do, and slowly lifted my arms
straight out to my sides the way Billy had told me to last night when he
had made me spin around in circles naked in the backyard.  Paul flicked his
forefinger with a bit of force against my erection.

"Dude, you got the smallest dick I ever seen on a guy, always have!" he
announced, "But Pee Wee, it hasn't grown any!"  Suddenly I felt weaker than
ever before. He was only a few years older, but next to Paul I looked like
a little boy.  "Now start spinning," he instructed.

I must have given him with a look of surprise that he found hysterically
funny, because he almost doubled over laughing at my reaction.  When I was
smaller, Paul used to love to spin me around in the yard by grabbing my arm
with one hand and putting his other hand between my legs and grabbing my
privates, sort of as a handle and then spinning me around and around.  It
kind of felt good in a way, but it always hurt too, especially when he
grabbed my balls real hard, which he always did.  I thought at first that's
what he was talking about.

"Start spinning just like you did last night," he repeated.  He pointed
over to the area in front of the showers where there was more floor space,
"and count to fifty."

"C'mon Paul," I argued.

"Let's just make it an even one hundred." He said, and I knew that arguing
any further with him would only accomplish digging myself in even deeper.

I started turning, slowly at first then a bit faster, counting silently,
keeping my arms spread out wide.

"Out loud," he said.

"One," I started counting, "Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
nine, ten . . ."

"Louder," he repeated.

I upped my volume a bit and continued my count.

"Louder," he repeated again.

I feared that if I upped my volume any more, the guys would hear me outside
in the gym.

He snapped a towel at my ass as I turned in circles.  "Louder," he demanded
again.  Paul was anything but patient.

"Eleven," I raised my volume even louder, continuing my count, "twelve,
thirteen, fourteen . . ." He kept snapping the towel at my ass as I
continued to spin around.

At about seventy-five all the spinning that I was doing was making me more
than a little lightheaded and I lost my balance, falling down on the wet
tile.  He walked up next to me and stood over me, as I pushed myself up
onto my knees and started to stand.  Paul put a hand on my shoulder and
pushed me back down onto my knees.

"So you still queer for me?" Paul asked.

I hesitated for a long time.  I wasn't.  Not at all.  But form some reason
the words came out all wrong.  Paul had a great body and a killer dick, but
I hated him.  Always have.  And with reason.  But then it was like the
whole encounter was just an echo or something from my game with Billy.  I
took a deep breath and said, "Yeah, Paul.  I am."  I wasn't what I wanted
to say, but I couldn't stop it.

"I knew you were queer," he said, then dropped his towel. Then Paul looked
down at me and said, "Okay Petey-boy, get down there on your knees and kiss
my boner.  I know you know how, only this time I ain't got no chocolate for
you to lick off of it.  Suck it!"

I looked at his cock.  He said it was eight inches, but it didn't look as
long as Billy's to me, and he was only seven.  But Paul had this ability to
make it flex up and down.  Even now, all these years later in my life, I
can't think of another guy who could make his dick dance as vigorously as
Paul could.  Never mind the size, that one trick alone could have earned
him a place in porn history!  And right then he was making it bounce pretty
radically.  He kept inching closer so it started thumping my nose and mouth
when he flexed.  He had a lot of curly dark hair on his pubic area. Finally
I grabbed his cock and licked the tip tasting the pre cum that had gathered
at the there. As I licked up toward the tip I tasted the momentary tang of
urine that dissolved into a pungent, slightly salty, taste.

"Yeah!" he said, "Make it wet."

I went back down and licked the mushroom head of his long dick; took his
head in my mouth. I was so warm and I loved it. I went down and back up
slowly.  I was getting in to it and he was responding. I could tell he
loved it. I was on my knees, sucking him like crazy, and he was moaning a
lot. I still heard the door open and stopped. I wanted to get up but he
held my head down on him.

"Suck it," he whispered.

I did as he said and started to suck him again.

I could hear the other boys from the gym were now in the locker room all
around us, talking and showering and changing as I sucked Paul's cock in
the center of the shower room.  None of them seemed to even notice we were
there.  Paul was getting close and was breathing harder.

Just then I heard Paul say, "Hey watch this, guys, he's gonna eat my cum."

Then another boy said, "Look!" and started laughing.  They got closer and
started to circle up around us and I heard another one shout, "Paul's about
to shoot his load."

I grasped hold of Paul's penis, now fully erect, and licked the underside
of his shaft and felt his balls brush against his chin. I swirled my tongue
around the circumcised tip then and back down to his balls. His balls
smelled slightly musky.  Paul exhaled like he had been holding his breath a
while.

"That feels great," he whispered.

I ran my tongue up the length of Paul's shaft again and positioned my lips
snugly around the mushroom tip, then leaned forward and gently too the head
of his cock into my mouth.  I was warm and velvety. I could taste droplets
of precum as they formed at the tip.  Slowly I tried taking in more of his
shaft, then continued until I had managed to get about two thirds of Paul's
manhood into my mouth, then pulled back. Paul moaned, and I tightened my
lips into a ring and watched the length of his spit-slicked shaft sliding
in and out of my mouth, disappearing and reappearing below my nose as I
bobbed up and down on it.

I closed my eyes and concentrated on Paul's scent, trying to block out the
fact that a gathering circle of boys were watching.  Then suddenly Paul
grabbed my head in both hands and forced me against his crotch.  Less than
ninety seconds after I had begun, I felt Paul's cock swell and twitch as he
began blasting out load after load.  I hated the taste of Paul's cum, and
tried to spit it out, but he forced my face against his crotch, forcing his
shaft all the way down my throat until I had no choice but to swallow the
bitter load flooding my mouth. I started to gag.  Paul's spunk had an
intensely bitter odor that was almost overpowering. His was nothing like
Billy's. When he pulled free I fell forward retching and coughing.  I was
pretty sure I was going to throw up, but I didn't.

After he finished unloading Paul grabbed up my shirt and wiped the cum
still clinging to his dick onto it, then tossed it over to me laughing,
"Here you go," he laughed, "a souvenir!"  He turned and started to walk
away.  Then he hesitated like he'd suddenly thought of something.

"Hey Petey, tell these guys what you told me last night," he smirked.  I
wasn't sure just what he meant, but then he asked me, "How long is your
dick?"

"It's almost four," I stammered in almost a whisper.  It was the same
answer I had given Billy the first time he'd asked me.

"You sure?" He asked, "I think you're lying."

I paused.  Of course I was lying. How could he ask me that will all these
guys standing around?

I could feel myself blushing as the circle of guys stared down at me.
There was no way I could say it out loud like this.

"Say it in a full sentence," he demanded.  "Say it loud enough that I can
hear you," he ordered as he started walking away from me.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck," I repeated under my breath. There was no way I
could say what he wanted me to say.

"I didn't hear anything," Paul said impatiently, "I'm still waiting!"  This
time he reappeared with his sweatpants on and started out the door into the
gym.  He stopped and held it open, "You say it or I will!"  Everyone in the
gym would hear it.

But I couldn't do it.  Saying it in my little game with Billy was one
thing, but here, like this, where everyone would hear.  No.  I just
couldn't.  I could feel my skin burning in shame and I was starting to
sweat.  I felt nauseous, and now, for some fucked up reason I needed to pee
like a racehorse all of a sudden.

The boys surrounding us rolled with laughter.  Two of them grabbed my arms,
and I knew that were going to toss me naked out into the gym.  A third guy
grabbed up a wet towel and gave it a twist and snapped it again my
woody. As the corner of the towel connected, it felt like something was
about to tear off my dick and explode my bladder, and then I woke up.



CHAPTER 5: THE LITTLE DOG LAUGHED TO SEE SUCH SPORT

I was hard as a nail when I woke up and my cock would not go down. On top
of all that I had to pee with a painful intensity that would not allow me
to linger in my bedroom until my erection softened, I really needed to go.
It was damn hard to piss with a boner but I had already learned that there
did come a point where my valves would give way even if it meant I had to
piss straight up.

Mark was still in bed, which meant I could get the restroom first if I
hurried.

I rolled over and as my feet hit the floor Mark yawned and stretched and
turned over onto his side to look at me sitting at the side of my twin bed.
Without thinking I pulled my sheets up over my lap to keep my morning woody
from being so obvious.

"You don't think I don't already know what you got?" Mark said, starting
out the morning with a sneer.

I could tell it was going to be one hell of a wonderful day!

I sat there on the edge of the bed, not wanting to get up and walk past his
bed, which was on my way to the door of our room.  My woody was showing no
signs of abating.  I needed to go pee, but getting up meant letting him get
a look at my woody, which would only assure another heavy dose of teasing
from my younger brother.

"You definitely got a Vienna sausage there, Petey," he continued, "Mine's
bigger soft that yours is hard." Mark shook his head in mock consolation.
I had heard it all before, and I would hear it again.

Mark had been teasing me about me having a dick smaller than his for a
couple of years.  It had started when our older brother Troy had told Mark
that his penis was already much larger than mine, even though I was almost
three years older.  Paul had been there, and I think maybe Jimmy too.  That
had ended up in the inevitable wrestling match where Mark established that
truth for himself while Troy pinned me down.

Nothing had been the same since then.

The fraternal pecking order had shifted and somehow, my younger brother
managed to usurp my position as "middle" child. Little dick meant little
brother.  Age had nothing to do with it.  I was taller than Mark, but he
was stockier, which came from playing football and basketball instead of
swimming, which was my sport.

That whole experience had been my first lesson in the importance of dick
size in the male pecking order.  A man can be smart and rich and powerful,
but the alpha male will always be the guy with the largest muscles and the
biggest dick.  And that is just the way it is, rationalize it however you
want to!

Mark stood up.  Back then he had light brown hair, almost blonde with a
very short haircut and bright blue eyes.  He was also pitching a
substantial tent.  I tried not to look, but it was hard not to notice how
grown-up Mark was. I sat there pretending not to notice as my urge to piss
just got stronger and stronger until I was sure my bladder was on a
countdown to exploding soon.

"Jealous?" He smirked again.

He had noticed me glancing at his boner.  Mark wrinkled his nose in disgust
and walked over towards me so that his boner was straining against his
briefs right in front of my face as I sat on the bed.  He was almost as
close as Paul had gotten in my dream.  He even made a couple of vulgar
pelvic thrusts in the direction of my face and flexed his arms like a
wrestler.  "Face it, Pee Wee.  I'm bigger.  Always have been.  Always will
be."

"Don't call me that," I argued back, feeling the last of my dignity begin
to fray, "Don't call me I!"

Mark grinned and grabbed the sheet I was holding across my lap and started
a tug of war with it, trying to pull it out of my hands.  I tried to keep
my lap covered, but his first tug had wrenched about half the sheet out of
my grip before I could stop him.

"There's your little pee pee," he announced way too loudly, as my small pup
tent came into view.  The door to our room was standing open and I worried
that mom might have heard him.

Both Troy and Mark used to tease me by calling my penis a "pee pee".  It
was a silly little word my mom had used for "penis" when we were little
kids.  Then just before he graduated and went off to college Troy had told
me that I had a "pee pee" and not a "dick", cause mine was still a "baby
peter", not a man's penis.  I reacted (big mistake) and the die was cast.

Mark had caught on to my elder brother's joke, and started jumping up and
down on Troy's bed repeating over and over, "Petey's got a pee pee," until
at last he messed up and said, "Pee Wee's got a pee pee," which Troy
thought was snot snorting hysterical, which was how I ended up getting the
nickname "Pee Wee".  Luckily it never caught on, Paul and Troy used to use
it a lot, maybe Jimmy, but now it was mostly Mark who wielded it like a
weapon against me.

I'd had enough, and let go of the sheet, then tried to push past him to get
to the door.  I really needed to get to the toilet.  But Mark caught me
with one arm around my upper chest as I tried to push by him.

"Where you going in such a hurry?" my younger brother asked.

"I gotta go," I said, trying to pull myself free, which only made Mark
tighten his hold.

We fell back onto my bed, and he rolled more or less on top of me, then
pinned me with his legs.  Suddenly I was back down on my bed with Mark
straddling my chest.  He had on a pair of tighty whiteys, and there was his
prick proudly bouncing around inside his briefs.  I tried with all my might
to push him off me, and almost did, but before I could give it a another
thought, Mark had me on my stomach, sitting across my back, with his arms
around my head cinching me in a headlock.  I could feel his boner digging
into my lower back.

I struggled again and all of a sudden felt a single spurt of urine manage
to break through all my efforts to hold it in, squirting right into my
underwear.  Desperately I tightened up to stop the flow, but I could feel
the warm wet spot around my dick where it was digging into the mattress of
my bed.

"I really gotta go!" I said, desperately trying to pry Mark's arm free.  I
could feel his muscles get taught as he continued to grapple with me.

"You gotta go?"  Mark asked, "Real bad, huh?"  Mark let go of my neck
quickly with his left arm to reach down and tickle me in the ribs.

"No, stop!" I hated being tickled. I've always hated it. It was the one
thing that turned me from easy going into a hitting, kicking, flailing
maniac. I had no control over my actions to protect myself again my
attacker when I got tickled.  He also, I'm sure, remembered a couple of
times I'd pissed myself getting tickled by Troy.

But with me on my stomach, pinned to my mattress Mark had the advantage,
and he knew it.  All he had to do to win was delay me just a few more
seconds.  I was wriggling, trying to get away, trying to stop it, trying to
escape his fingers as he tickled relentlessly. I squirted again, and
intensified my struggle to break free.

"Mark, you ass hole."  I exclaimed.

With my loose t-shirt shirt pulled up to my neck, Mark managed to reach
down and tickle my ribs just below my armpits, sending the into convulsions
once again.  I was thrashing and straining to get loose.  The tickling
intensified and I felt another squirt of urine jet into my briefs and I
used everything I had to clamp the flow shut.  Even so it had lasted too
long, there'd be a big wet spot for sure.  And I knew I'd never be able to
stop the next stream.  My legs were trembling, and Mark still had me in a
headlock.

I was getting really angry at that point, and starting to cry.  I still cry
when I get really angry. I've always been that way, and now the tears were
starting. I reached back with my hands and tried to grab hold of his legs
and pull him off me as I kicked. I got a good hold of one leg, and started
pulling him sideways when one of his hands came down immediately, picked up
my hand and twisted my arm.  He moved it away until he had me pinned
impotently to my mattress.

"You have to stop." I had tears streaming down my cheeks now, and my sides
were hurting. "I'm pissing myself." I said, and realized I was begging,
which was exactly what he wanted.

I was in a panic. Even when I felt his fingers stop tickling me, the panic
didn't go away. I was wriggling and flailing with everything I had to try
to get away.

"I gotta go now," I pleaded, "Mark, you gotta lemme go or I'm gonna pee all
over my bed," which I guess, in retrospect, was the wrong thing to say
'cause he reached down and started tickling me hard again, and this time
when the flow started, and there was no stopping it.  About the time Mark
realized I was pissing myself he jumped off me and looked down at me
shaking his head in mock disappointment.  I may forgive Mark for a lot of
things, but the look of delight he had watching me piss myself in complete
humiliation, that I will never forgive, or forget!

I peed for what seemed like five minutes. My sheets and underwear were
awash with warm urine.  I managed to pull the saturated sheets off the bed,
only to see that the pad underneath, and even my mattress was soaked too.

This was like a nightmare coming back to me.

I had wet the bed almost every night until I was around seven.  Then when
the stuff had started up with Troy, it had started all over again, and my
mom had made me put this mattress protector on my bed again.  But then
things got better and I had finally been given permission to take the
mattress protector off.  I hated the mattress protector.  It was like a
symbol of shame.  It meant I pissed the bed like a little boy.  Along with
my little boy dick, wetting the bed somehow reinforced the idea that I was
not what I should be, that I was not becoming a man, and probably never
would.

As if on cue mom shouted up from the bottom of the stairwell asking,
"What's going on?  Are you two arguing again?"

Mark's sardonic smile unnerved me. "I guess I really should tell mom how
you've started wetting the bed again."  He looked at me and knew that he
had me.

"Please, no." I whispered repeatedly, "no, no!"  The situation was so
frustrating I could feel both eyes welling up again.

A decidedly evil grin spread across Mark's face, he gathered up a pair of
shorts off the floor next to his bed and crossed our bedroom to the
doorway.  He stood there looking down the stair where I knew she was
standing, "Mom, Petey's wet the bed again!"

I felt myself blushing in anger, not just embarrassment.

"Did you wet the bed last night, Peter?"  She asked from below.  It was a
rhetorical question.

I knew what was coming next, managed to lip sync the words as she said
them.  "You'll need to carry your mattress outside and lean it against the
garage to air out."

My parents had always done that when I wet the bed, had me carry the
mattress outside to lean against the garage.  Left outside all day to air
out, for everyone in the neighborhood to see. And I know they noticed.  I
remember several times when Mary came over for coffee and asked my mom if I
had started wetting the bed again.  They might as well have posted a sign
in the front yard that read, "Peter wet the bed last night," as put the
mattress outside to air out.

Mark saw the misery on my face and snickered, and something inside me
snapped.

I leapt off my urine soaked mattress and tackled him against the wall. He
let out a yelp that let me know I'd gotten him good, but then landed a
punch into my gut and I grunted and fell.  I grabbed Mark by the hair and
pulled him down with me.  He decided to hit me in the stomach again and
connected once more, but I was too enraged to notice.

As we struggled, Mark got the upper hand and tried to punch me in the
groin.  He missed, but was thrown off balance.  I shoved him into the wall
and grabbed his t-shirt by the collar.  It tore.  I struggled back up, then
slammed my right knee sharply up into his meaty balls and nailed them into
the wall.  I could actually feel one of them pop as I drove my knee home.
Mark fell back against the wall clutching his nuts as the wave of pain and
nausea hit him, but the tough little motherfucker refused to drop to the
floor.

While he was paying attention to his tender nuggets I landed a solid punch
targeting his nose.  Mark screamed out in pain, suddenly grabbing his nose
and trying to protect his face as he fell back against the bookshelf next
to the doorway.  Snorting blood out of his nose, Mark threw more wild
punches at my gut but he was so distracted by his nose bleeding he couldn't
land a good punch.  I was too pissed off to care even if he had.  I
followed up with a second solid kick to his crotch.

Mark's mouth dropped open in surprise and he clamped his hands between his
legs as he doubled up.  His breath whooshed out of him as he hit the floor
and curled up in agony, coughing and gasping as the waves of pain swept up
from his balls into his guts. Mark turned white and doubled up retching.
He'd started this fight, but I was so goddamned angry I was going to finish
it even if it killed him.

By that time my mom had made her way up the stairs, rushing to our room,
and stood there staring wide-eyed looking like she had just glimpsed the
Armageddon.  Mark whimpered while I stood over him in my urine soaked
boxers, still bawling, and wearing an expression of genuine fury. I had a
hold of the stretched and torn neck of his t-shirt, and was getting ready
to punch him in the face again, but then realized that mom was standing
there.  I let him go instead.  He slumped down into a fetal position
cradling his balls and blubbering.

It was one of the few times I remember my mom actually being speechless.  I
couldn't tell if she was angry at the fact we were fighting, or surprised
at the fact that I had just won this round for a change.

She opened her mouth to say something when Mark yelled out in anger "Fuck
you, you dickless faggot!" which turned her attention back to him.  There
was a look of shock on her face I had never seen before.  I don't think
she'd every heard Mark use such language.

As I walked over to my bed, I could feel Mark staring into my back, and I
hated him.  At that moment I wished he were dead.  I suspect he was having
similar thoughts.  I grabbed the mattress, and hefted it off the box
springs, dragging it toward the stairs, then realized that I was still in
my underwear.

"Fuck all," I said to myself, mumbling.

No one heard it.

I wanted to explain to her what had happened, that things were not what
they seemed.  That I hadn't wet the bed like a little boy, that Mark had
held me down and tickled me until . . . and then realized that getting so
defeated by my little brother was just as bad.  I looked down at Mark still
clutching at his scrambled eggs and realized that at least, this time, I
had evened the score just a bit.

Instead I quietly and slowly drug my wet mattress past them, still in my
underwear, and then walked it down the stairs, stopping every few steps to
catch my breath and regain my grip.  It was a symbol of my shame.

Then I hefted the mattress back up and finished sliding it through the
kitchen to the back door.  I carried it over to the garage where I leaned
it on its side.  Being in my underwear out in the backyard didn't seem like
much after last night.  I looked across at the neighbor's yard, over to the
back porch where I had seen Paul standing watching me from the shadows.

No one was there.

Then I went back inside, took the stairs up to my bedroom.  I still had a
chip on my shoulder.  It seemed right then like everything was going in
slow motion around me. I could hear Mark in the shower, and knew by the
time he finished there'd be no hot water left.  He was always selfish that
way.

More than anything I wanted to be somewhere else, someone else, a member of
a different family maybe.  I pulled off my wet underwear and then couldn't
find any clean ones so I threw on a clean t-shirt and some shorts, then
went back outside and grabbed my bike.

I got halfway to school before my anger finally faded.  Then I started to
think about Billy, and sucking his cock, and got hard as I rode.  My dick
may be small, but straining against the front of my shorts it was totally
visible. And my shirt was too short to cover it.

So I just rode.

"Fucking faggot!" a voice shouted from a car that passed me rather slowly
on the intersecting street.

I turned to look and saw my mom's car.  She was scolding Mark for yelling
at me out the window, cursing at me, especially in a place where the
neighbors might see it.  I stopped my bike on the shoulder of the road as
they drove by.  Mark still looked pissed and reached out the window to flip
me off as they passed.

It was certainly promising to be one turdfest of a day!
