This is my third attempt at writing a story but it is the first one to go

	I woke up the next morning feeling unusually upbeat. I racked my
brain to try to remember why. My brain was always foggy in the mornings so
I was having an incredibly difficult time trying figure out the cause of my
sunny disposition. It wasn't until I was halfway through my morning routine
when I remembered. Colby. Geez what an incredibly sexy name. God Oliver,
get a grip, he's probably straight and even if he wasn't what makes you
think he'd be interested in you. I was scolding myself but it did nothing
to wipe the smile from my face.

	The more I mentally pushed him out of my mind, the more prominent
he became in my thoughts. From the short time I've know Colby, everything
was so easy. I was never a social butterfly, and only had a few good
friends, unfortunately all of which went to the University of Winnipeg
halfway across the city. I was incredibly shy when it came to new people
but it was different this time.

	I had breakfast with my parents and sister before I headed down to
the university. I texted Colby on the way there and I told him to meet me
outside his dorm and then we'd head down to Armes Lecture Building since he
didn't know where it was.

	When I reached the dorm, he was sitting on a bench reading a
book. Damn. He looked even better than I remembered from yesterday. I found
my mind wandering to thinking what it would be like to wake up in Colby's
arms. It was only the second day of school and I already felt as though I
was going to be insane by the end of the semester.

	"Hey Oliver! How are you?" he said in an upbeat demeanour. "I got
you a 'double double.' I swear this coffee is so good. I think they
substitute the sugar for crack cocaine."

	"Well I wouldn't doubt it, a lot of people would get the shakes if
they went a day without it."

    	"By a lot of people, you mean you right?" he said with a chuckle.

    	"Maybe." I said before I took a sip of brew. "Mmmmm."

	"I know what you mean."

    	"Well let get going. We have got a whole day of boring
introductions and if I'm being realistic, the profs will probably dive
straight into the course work." With that we walked to Armes. It wasn't
that far from Colby's dorms so we were there about fifteen minutes
early. Even so, there were already a good bunch of the seats filled
up. Damn keeners. We found seats near in the middle section of the isle. We
had to sit on the left side of the isle. Being a lefty, I had to sit where
the desk part of the seat was on the left.

    	"So this weekend, I think maybe you should uh, come to my game." he
said as I got comfortable in my seat. Damn wooden seats, so uncomfortable.

    	"What game?"

    	"Oh! Geez I forgot to mention I'm here on a football
scholarship. Saturday is our first home game and I'm hoping my new friend
will come and cheer me on. I have this thing about having at least one
person I know in the stands. I know that you won't be able to come to all
my away games but I was hoping you'd my designated 'known person' in the
stands. It makes me try harder." Aww. Geez I wish he was my boyfriend. You
just don't hear guys these days say stuff like that. I know he didn't mean
it to be but that was damn romantic!

   	 "Uh yeah sure! I'd be honoured to be your 'known person.'" I
actually do enjoy watching sports. Especially rugby. I think it's cuz I
like seeing muscular boys in short shorts. Boys in football tights are
great too! "So what time is the game?"

   	 "It's at noon. So can count on you being there?"

    	"You bet!"

   	 The rest of the day went rather quickly. Colby and I spent the
entire day together. We did run into one my high school
classmates. Amanda. Man I hated that bitch. She was one of those girls in
high school that all the girls wanted to be and all the guys wanted to be
with. On top of that she was epitome of a Mean girl. God she was a
bitch. If she didn't like you, which was highly likely, you definately
wouldn't know. I hate passive aggressive people. Although she wasn't so
passive with me. I seem to always fluster her feathers. She easily
manipulated people into liking her even though she was mean to them. She
and I have quite the history cuz I was the only one who could see through
her act. I never put up with her shit. I was actually ready to ignore her
as she had done me for the past year. Unfortunately, she saw something that
she wanted. It was something we both wanted.

    	"Oliver! Oh my God! I haven't talked to you in forever." I've never
seen this act but I know what she's up to. Sneeky bitch. "How are you?" she
asked trying hard not to look at Colby.

   	"Uh...I'm go.."

    	"Geez Oliver, aren't you going to introduce me to your friend
here." See, I told you, fake.

    	"Yeah sorry. This is Colby, Colby this is Amanda." I said as Colby
took her hand and shook it.

    	"Nice to meet you Amanda."

    	"It's a pleasure to meet you." the bitch held his hand longer than
needed. "You want to go get a coffee with me?" She doesn't diddle daddle
does she?

    	"Um...well..."

    	"Oh you can come too I guess." she directed at me.

    	"No thanks you go guys go ahead." I said trying to hide my
disappointment. Of course Colby's straight. What straight guy wouldn't fall
for this act.

    	"Sorry Amanda, but Oliver and I have to get to class right away."
My ears perked when he said that.

    	"Ok maybe next time then. See you around Colby." she said
completely ignoring me. She stalked of, clearly disappointed Colby brushed
her off.

    	"She's definitely a piece of work eh?" I asked.

    	"She's not so bad a I guess. But I can tell you guys don't like
each other."

    	"No we definately don't"


    	The rest of the week went by in a snap. Colby and I got to know
each other better. I learned that he had an older brother that went to the
University of British Columbia. I guess his family has a thing for
Canada. We settled into a routine of me meeting him at his dorm and then us
walking to our classes. We studied on Thursday at my house. He told me he
had ran into Amanda a couple of times. Before we knew it, Saturday came
rolling around.

   	 It's not unsual that I wake up happy. But there was a feeling of
something else. I did my morning stuff then decided to do a little bit of
homework before Colby's game. When I remembered why Colby wanted me at his
game, that feeling of something else grew. I was incredibly happy that I
could be his person. When I'm not immersed in my school work, my mind is on
Colby. There was just something about him.

    	I finished my homework at around 11 so I decided to have quick
lunch before heading out. When I was done, I grabbed my keys and headed
out. I got to the University Stadium in no time and headed in to find a
seat. As fate would have it I was late so the stands were already filled
with spectators and fans. I found an empty seat near the front.

    	"God, what the fuck are you doing here?" said a familiar voice to
my right. I turned to look.

    	"I'm here to watch Colby play. You're probably here to whore
yourself out to the football team later I'm guessing." I snapped back at
Amanda.

    	"You're such a faggot you know that Oliver? I guarantee you Colby
isn't gay and I'll make sure I tell you what he's like in bed. So why don't
you run along and find some nice butt queen you can go fuck." Can you
believe the nerve of this slut?

    	"Wow, language. I see all the dicks you've sucked really has
polluted your nasty trap. Why don't you go suck on some moth balls to get
rid of that acrid stench emanating from your mouth."

    	"Whatever, you'll never get a chance with Colby. He and I had
coffee last night and I can tell you that I'm this close to making him
mine. He's not gay so just forget about him."

    	"Honestly Amanda, I know there's no chance in hell he's gay." I
said trying to hide my disappointment. I mean who am I kidding, this always
happens. I always fall for the perfect guy. The perfect guy who is
perfectly straight. "I'm here because he's my friend. You can have him. I
don't waste my time on straight guys."

    	"As long we're clear fag boy. Oh and I took the liberty to mention
to him that you're a homo. I don't think he was very happy. I suggest you
stay away from him. It's for your own good. You don't want him tormenting
you like the guys in high school did now would you? So like I said, run a
long and play with the other little homos like you." She was right. All I
could do was nod my head. With that I stood up and left.

    	I ran to my car as fast as I could before my eyes gave way to the
waterworks. What a fucking idiot I am. I always fall for the straight
jocks. But the feelings I had for Colby were different. They were nothing I
felt before. I'd never fallen this hard for anyone. We hadn't even known
each other a week and it was already over. He knew I was gay.
