Subject: Reconnecting with Marc

The usual disclaimers apply.  If you are much younger than 18....etc

This is a true story that happened less than a year ago.  It happened to 
Kevin.

Kevin was 17 when he unexpectedly encountered Marc...a 15 year old, muscular 
'man' who was the eye candy of every female (and male) in his school.  
Towering over even the senior students that were two years his senior, Marc 
knew he was the object of many a gaze.  It was difficult to tell from 
observation if he was gay or hetero.  He spent his time with all groups, 
displaying great comfortableness wth all genders and all age groups.  He was 
and is, still highly esteemed by all members of his school staff...a natural 
leader one might say, or one who others would look to for leadership.  After 
all, he had an IQ that was above most peoples', so they say.

Kevin (and that's me) on the other hand, is one of those kids who no one 
looks at.  At 5 ft.6in in height, with no muscular development to talk 
about, non-sporting, not a complete book-worm, not an academic by any 
standard...just an ordinary kid.

That is why it came as a complete surprise that Marc would initiate a warm 
and comforting contact with Kevin.  Kevin never even considered himself in 
the same league despite being two years Marc's senior at the time.  Marc was 
over 6 foot...probably about 6 foot 2 inches and as handsome as they come.  
Kevin was at his computer when Marc made contact, sending him an internal 
email.  Kevin looked around, and there he was...the school stud, just 
looking at him.  It was the content of that message that blew Kevin away.  
"Do you want to spend a couple of hours together?...you pick the day and 
time!"

"Are you talking to me?' enquired Kevin. "None other..little brother" came 
the reply.  What did he mean by 'little brother?' Kevin mused.  "Is he 
having a shot at my height or lack of it?  How dare this 10th. grader talk 
to a senior in this manner!!.  Admitttedly, as our school does not have that 
large a student population, I guess there is a degree of friendliness 
between students.

"Well...I am free this afternoon" said Kevin. "What do you intend?"

"Well.....we might go for a drive somewhere...I've just got my
wheels...unless you mind sitting in the passenger seat and have a
10th. grader drive you."

"No...I don't mind" replied Kevin.  "Good...see you in the car park" replied 
Marc as he gathered up his gear and logged off.

Kevin was somewhat suspicious, wondering why the school stud would want to 
even associate with him.  Prank, he thought...but he went to the car park 
after school, to see what might develop.

And there he was, sitting in his new car...waiting.  Kevin got in and the 
trip began.  Kevin noticed how slowly Marc drove, like he was not keen to 
arrive at whatever the destination was.  Eventually, Kevin was be dropped 
off home.

A wonderful relationship developed that meant a great deal to Kevin.  To be 
selected by the stud of the school, lifted his status in his own eyes, as 
well as in the eyes of his peers.  It was nearing summer, and as the car 
trips home increased, Marc's attire began to expose his manliness in the 
form of chest hairs, bushy armpit hair, and of course, the stubble on his 
chin if he decided not to shave that morning.  Kevin, on the other hand was 
still a few years away from shaving, and chest hairs would probably not be a 
reality for him, even in future years.

Like every teenage situation, conversations tend to drift to sex and related 
matters.  These conversations were never initiated by Kevin.  Marc had this 
knack of leading conversations to the point where a sexual question would be 
asked...questions such as: "how much has yours grown in recent years?"  
"Huh!..." replied Kevin.  "You know..your BIG one !...how big does it get?"
That was the fateful day, as Kevin had nothing much to boast about with his 
4 and a half incher.  Being a late bloomer, nature had been slow in taking 
its course...and Kevin knew it.  Kevin also knew that this man of a boy, 
would have had some meat down there...and he just couldn't believe that this 
conversation was being had.

"You have a small one, don't you?' asked Marc.  "Guess so," replied Kevin, 
looking at his friend's crotch. "Mine is huge...too huge for a guy who is 
only 15...not that I am complaining though."

"And just how big is that?" enquired Kevin...rather sheepishly.

"I'll tell you if you tell me yours" teased Marc.

"Well, seeing you started this conversation, you should tell me first"
countered Kevin.

"That's fair"...and with that Marc revealed his 8.8 incher.   While Kevin 
was transfixed, Marc's hand reached for Kevin's equivalent...and the 
comparisons were made.

That was the beginning of a relationship that lasted just over a year...a 
relationship that ended as abruptly as it began...with an email that 
announced that further contact would cease.

Since then, Kevin goes to his email daily with anticipation...hoping for a 
reconnection....
