Chapter 1 - New Starts

My name is CJ (or Charles John!) Gordon. I am 17 years old and I am
starting university this week, this is my first time on my own away from my
loving family. I have my mum, dad and 2 younger brothers. I didn't have
many friends growing up at school and I was quiet in class. I excelled at a
few subjects and kept myself to myself. I have my family and they are much
more of friends than family really. The other thing about me is that I am
gay and have known this since I was about 12, that is when my parents told
me they loved me without exception and I am thankful and happy that I was
lucky enough to have them. This story is one of my first opportunities to
really start to discover who I really am and to have the freedom to meet
new guys. My previous attempts in my home town were really unsuccessful; my
ability to find complete assholes is amazing. Anyway......

Walking through the dorm room I was nervous, this was the first time I was
going to be away from home on my own. I opened the door to the bedroom and
stared into the barren room, my dad put his hand on my shoulder and
squeezed.  I surveyed the two desks and the two beds and grimaced.

"It will be fine son, hopefully you will find yourself a nice guy here and
then I can rent your room out!!"

I smiled and rolled my eyes at his attempt at humour, "You would miss me
too much, besides you can't give a tenant the abuse you give me!!" I
laughed as he growled at me in mock anger.

"CJ you know we are all going to miss you and you can come back every
weekend if you want to anyway, it's not that far."

"Thanks Dad, I know that and I might but I want to try this on my own
first. I need to be a grown up for once!"

"You already are son, you have made me and your mum proud, not to mention
the rest of the family, you will be the first of the family to go to
university and you will be a good role model to your other two brothers."

I smiled at the words and started to pile my boxes in my room, I had loads
and by the time we both got them in we both needed a coffee. I set up the
coffee machine quickly and told my dad I was going to shower quickly and to
watch the coffee brewer for me.

Stepping into the shower I was amazed by how big the bathroom was for being
in a dorm room, the whole place was huge considering it was only for two
people. I was nervous about meeting my room mate though. I quickly finished
up and joined my dad who was already on his second cup.

"I am going to have to get going in a minute Ceej. Need to get home before
your mum starts to call my mobile every five minutes!" Dad rolled his eyes
and got up to leave; pulling me in for a big hug he whispered to me, "I
will miss you."

"I love you dad, but get out of here before I get into trouble for holding
you up!"

I watched my dad pull out of the car park in the van and waved as I closed
the door. I turned around and stared at the walls. "Well let's hope the
other guy is nice," I thought to myself.

I would describe myself as kind of average build not having made the effort
to do any weight training but I have no extra weight on me, which is good
for me really being a footballer! I have short cropped blond hair which is
usually spiked; blue eyes which I am told sparkle in the light. I would not
say I am great looking but I am not the judge. Anyway I was sitting on the
couch in the common area of the dorm room when I heard a key being put into
the door, I got up just in time to see this blond haired hottie opening the
door and literally falling over his boxes.

"A little help, please!" I laughed a little as I moved to help him up.

He stood up and straightened out his clothing, which had pulled up
revealing a hint of a six pack and a gorgeous treasure trail leading down
his belly. He stuck his hand out and I shook it whilst still staring at his
midriff.

"Umm....Hi, my name is Scott." He looked at me and I realised my eyes
hadn't moved, "CJ," I cleared my throat and let go of his hand, looking up
at him and hoping he didn't think I was retarded or something.

"Let me help you with your boxes into the room. Do you not have anybody
with you to help?"

He shook his head no and just started lifting more boxes in so I didn't ask
anything else.

"Wow" he said after we had finished, "You have loads of stuff."

"Yeah sorry I wasn't sure if you would have kitchen stuff so I bought loads
of stuff and brought it with me, sorry to assume...."

"No it's fine honestly, I totally hadn't even thought about that yet!
Thanks CJ."

"Just call me Ceej all my friends....usually do. Well anyway, let's get you
all set up in the room, which bed would you like?"

Once we had sorted all our stuff and cleaned everything up it was late on
in the day and we were both starved, I asked Scott if he wanted to go for
pizza and he nodded. We grabbed our coats and headed out the door. I headed
to my Jeep and he hesitated.

"Is that yours?" he asked with a funny look on his face.

"Yup, it was an early 18th birthday present; I passed my test faster than
my folks thought I would!"

"Wow that is so cool." He jumped in the passenger seat and buckled up as I
started the car and headed to the nearest place I could think for pizza.

Driving in silence I couldn't think of anything to say so I stuck the radio
on and a good tune pumped out of the speakers, something by Jimmy Eat
World. My hand tapped on the wheel and I could see Scott's hands going on
his knees. I stared across at him noticing the lines of his face and stared
at his perfect features wishing I was a pretty as he was.

"So," I started, "Do you have any preferences to where to go?" He shrugged
his shoulders so I said "We can go to Pizza Hut if you want? My treat to
say thanks for being my new roomie!" I laughed as he tried to protest.

"I can't let you pay for me that's not fair." He tried to convince me that
he would pay his way, but I just said "No I want to please." So he just
went quiet and I hoped I hadn't upset him.

We got to the pizza place minutes after and we went in. We both ordered and
sat down waiting for them to be made up. I felt another awkward silence and
was trying to think of something to say. I wanted to say not to worry about
the cost of the pizza but didn't want to upset him more.

He turned to see me staring at him again and he smiled for the first
time. I melted as I saw the smile; it made his beautiful face more
striking. I smiled back and blushed brightly.

The pizza's came and we went out to sit in my Jeep, sitting eating I kept
noticing Scott looking at me when he thought I wasn't looking. I kept
noticing him studying me and wondered to myself what was up with him. I
just continued to eat the pizza and catching glimpse of him as often as I
could.

I kept thinking to my self, "Stop fancying him, you have to live with him."
But I just couldn't help myself and I smiled as I thought of what this next
year was going to be like.
