"Becoming One of The Boys"

By R. Anthony

Chapter One: Just wanting to know . . .

As they all went to the bedroom, Tony wondered how he could
get Steven to touch him.

It was nothing weird or anything, he just wanted to see if
Steven would do it.

He looked around the room.

We're sleeping in sleeping bags on the ground, he thought.
That makes it so much easier to sleep right next to Steven.

But the eight elementary school students certainly had
nothing more on their minds that night than the scary stories
that Matt and Steven's dad had told the boys as they were
roasting -- well, mainly burning -- marshmallows on the bonfire
the boys had spent all evening gathering wood for.

But as the boys heading into the room that Matt and Steven
shared, Tony just needed to know.

Tony threw he sleeping bag down, after waiting for Steven
to lie his down, right next to his best friend.

"This party is great Steven. Your dad is the best!" Tony
said.

"Yeah, he's rad," Steven replied as he was beaned in the
head by his brother's flying pillow.

As the boys, one by one, went to the bathroom to change
into their chosen bed gear -- mainly an odd assortment of
monster truck and Pac-Man T-shirts and Bengals, Browns and
Steelers shorts, Tony changed into his favorite orange Atari T-
shirt and a plain pair of light gray gym shorts and headed to
his Transformers sleeping bag.

Ten minutes later, the requisite wrestling and pillow-
fighting ended, and the boys settled down and headed to bed.

After the lights were out, Tony lay there, in all of his
nine years, wondering what this whole Steven-touching-me thing
was all about.

Well, he thought to himself, I just want to know . . .

*	*	*

As Tony headed down the hall, he didn't know quite what to
expect. He knew that he was skinny and not really into sports.
He walked with his gym bag in one hand and his book bag in the
other, making his was down the first-day crowd as he headed to
his first day of gym class.

The bell rang just as Tony headed into the locker room,
after he crossed the basketball court from the hallway. The
other fifth-graders had already started changing and he noticed
that almost all were taller than him, and had more muscle than
Tony's small frame.

He found a locker on the side, against the wall, away from
most of the loud commotion from the Little Ravens football
players. Tony hung his striped polo shirt from the hanger in the
locker as he changed into one of his soccer T-shirts. He hadn't
played soccer in two years, but the shirts still fit his
slightly awkward frame. He glanced around the room, and seeing
that most people were already clearing out, he quickly removed
his jeans and replaced them with a pair of Ohio State Buckeyes
sweatshorts.

Walking into the large gym, he saw the Marine-like figure
at the front of the gym, Mr. Todd. Mr. Todd was the boys
wrestling coach and was one of the more highly regarded teachers
at the school of 800 students. He was a former Marine, without
the edge in personality that traditionally comes with the
rigorous military background. Although not exactly pleasant, Mr.
Todd had a way of knowing just the point to which he could take
his students in their gym classes before they would rebel. And
when it got to that point, he'd lighten up.

That lightening up factor worked well for Tony, who rarely
kept up with his more athletic classmates. As the years went by,
the Little Ravens -- the Pee-Wee football league -- became the
Troy Middle School Titans as seventh grade junior varsity
football began.

Entering the locker room by then was, for Tony, becoming an
all-out depressing experience. One day, as Tony slowly changed
from the T-shirt he was wearing into his gym T-shirt, he saw
something. Rob, the expectant quarterback for the Titans, was in
his row of lockers, and as he pulled up his long-sleeved T-shirt
over his face to take it off, Tony noticed the hair. It was just
a second before Tony shifted his gaze back to deep inside his
locker, but Tony's mind was racing. Just the night before, when
he was taking a shower, Tony examined the small hairs starting
to grow down around his penis -- but he knew he certainly didn't
have any hair under his armpits!

Huh, Tony thought, as he headed out to the track for
another tortuous class with Mr. Todd. . .

*	*	*

They sat at lunch discussing who would be the next
president, not fully understanding the depth of Dukakis' poll
numbers in the final days before the '88 election. But for high
school freshman determined to be brains, this was the day of
reckoning. Tony was thrilled. He had finally found a group.
After seven years of relative loneliness, the 5'6", 110#
freshman sat his skinny ass down next to Dawn and Tara, across
from the two Toms and Chris.

As they rambled on about topic of which they knew
relatively little, Tony looked out across the huge cafeteria.
They had been Ravens -- as everyone at the high school was
called, regardless of whether you played a sport or not -- for
exactly two months now, and Tony was still amazed by the size of
the high school. With the medium-sized towns three middle
schools combining to form one high school, the 500 students in
their class were almost as many students as had gone to Troy.
Tony liked all the people. It just seemed so exciting to
him that there were that many new people for him to meet. People
who didn't know the third-grade him or the fifth- or seventh-
grade Tony DePascale. They only knew Anthony, the short, skinny,
and goofy-grinned kid that he was today.

And he liked that.

*	*	*

In his first days at Francis High School, Tony had met
Brian Chambers, a popular junior who both played baseball and
was in the drama club. Everybody knew "Chambers," from what Tony
could tell. And if they didn't like him, they sure weren't
telling Tony. At the second drama club meeting Brian said
"hi" to Tony as he walked back to sit with the juniors and
seniors in the back of the room. Tony was unusually speechless.

After the meeting, as Chambers and two of his friends were
leaving, Tony caught his eye and returned his earlier greeting
with a slight wave.

"See ya 'round, kid. And welcome to Francis!" Chambers
called back as he headed out the door, leaving Tony even more
lost. . .

*	*	*

"So, guys, do you know Brian Chambers?" Tony asked some of
his crew after lunch two days after the election.

"Well, duh, yeah, he's like Mr. Hottie," Dawn shot back,
eager as ever to prove to Tony how much smarter and how much
more on top of things she was than he.

"Whatever, Dawn. I mean, like, do you know him, know him --
not just 'Have you drooled near him?'" Tony fought back, hopeful
to push Dawn back a step in their never-ending race to out-do
the other.

"She has drooled near him, Tony. Last Friday, at the game,
we passed him by as we were leaving to go to Denny's," Tara
generously responded. "She just, like, stopped, and turned to
watch him -- until I knocked her on the back of the head to get
a move on."

"Ya, okay, thanks all," Tony replied, anxious to be done
with Tara and Dawn so he could go back to thinking about his new
problem.

"Why you ask?" Tara queried.

"No reason, he's in drama club and I saw him at the meeting
a couple weeks ago. He's in the play that they're doing this
weekend. It's supposed to be good -- some comedy. We should go
see it," Tony over-justified.

"Okay then, we will," Dawn declared, anxious to get a
longer look at Brian Chambers in any way she could.

"It's settled then," Tara added.

Ha, settled, Tony thought, and he headed off to algebra
class.

*	*	*

Tony lay in bed that night, thinking about going to see
Brian in the play. He didn't know why he wanted to see him so
bad. Maybe it was because of the fact that Brian had said "hi"
to him, Tony thought. Maybe, he considered, it was because Brian
seemed like a really nice guy. He supposed maybe it was because
Brian has such a nice ass --

Whoa, Tony thought, What? Was? That?

Tony lay there that night, realizing how good jerking off
could feel once you knew why you were doing it.

*	*	*

Tony came in from mowing the lawn, his shirt off and tucked
into his pants waist, and entering the air-conditioned house
realized just how hot it was outside. After grabbing a cup of
cold water, he went into the bathroom to splash some water on
his face and get some of the grass out of his hair. As he did
so, he heard the phone ring.

Ah, shit, he thought, sandy blond hair dripping in the
sink, they can leave a message.

"Hi you've reached the DePascales," Tony's metallic
answering-machine voice called out. "We're not in right now, but
if you leave us a message -- including the time and a number
where we can reach you -- we'll call you back soon. Thanks.
Bye."

Beep.

"Hey, uh, Tony. This is Brian Chambers, you know, from
school, uh, yeah, drama club. I was just calling because I know
you're an officer next year, and I, uh, thought you might know,
uh, what play we're doing in the fall. . ." Brian said through
the machine.

As drops of water periodically hit the floor, the wet-
headed Tony had been standing a half-foot from the machine since
about a second after Brian identified himself. Tony, however,
had still not picked up the phone, curiously anxious as to
whether the Francis "Hottie" would leave his phone number on
Tony's machine. He could always pick up the phone at the last
minute if Brian didn't sound like he was going to leave his
number, Tony reasoned.

"Anyway," Brian's voice continued. "If you do happen to
know . . ."

Shit, Tony thought, I don't know. Can I -- should I call
him back later or pick up now?

". . . why don't you, uh, give me a call. 690-2222. Bye."

After the machine hung up, and rewound itself, Tony pressed
the "Play" button and listened to his jerk-off fantasy for the
past nine months speak to him. As he sat there in the kitchen,
his right hand found its way around his tanned chest, down
across his navel and down under the waistband of his shorts,
pulling out a five-inch boner.

As Tony's body tensed that afternoon, something felt
different. As he twitched with a heightened climax, a single
splurge of clear water-like cum found its way out of Tony's
cock.

Tony got up and took a shower, then played the message again to
write down Brian's number -- although he had, in reality, already
had it memorized in the 20 minutes since Brian had left it on the
machine -- and finally took the answering machine tape, put it
in his desk drawer in his room and found a new tape for the
machine from the hallway closet.

To Be Continued . . .
