I've known Julie Kent forever, or so it seems. Our friendship goes back to the era when we were seniors at East Sayville high school 10 years ago. Back in the day before I came out my so-called friends didn't get that I wasn't attracted sexually to girls. So what if she had "killer boobs." So what if she was "smoking hot".
Despite being gay I still regard her as pretty. Julie if you had been born with a dick you'd be perfect. If I liked vagina I'd jump on your bones in a heartbeat. Straight guys are turned on by her body. She's slim with a long torso and gentle curve, a vase shape.
She stands 5 6. Her dark-Mahogany brown hair touches her nipples. Full coral-pink lips, a slightly upturned nose, high cheekbones and brown eyes are very attractive features.
A hot summer late afternoon finds us sitting on a bench by the pond gazing at the rippled highlights. A few walkers were out for exercise, some with their dogs. The sun sat low on the horizon. Shadows had lengthened.
"The 10 year reunion is coming up."
"Yup," she replied. "Are you planning to go?"
"I'll go if you go."
"We can be a pretend couple."
"Julie you're the best friend I've ever had."
"You're a good friend as well Steven."
She had moved into town just in time to start senior year with the rest of us. We hit it off. In mid January I fessed up to being gay after keeping up the charade since September.
Back in the day I played 2nd line left winger on the varsity hockey team for two years. Being a jock helped me keep up the charade. Gays were seen as dancers and I didn't fit the mold. I didn't want to be stereotyped.
"Tedd Renolds and Billy Townes were my line mates. We used to hang out after school. When you and I started hanging out they knew we were not a couple, that we were not dating."
" I told Lisa McCall that you and I were not fucking. She no doubt told someone else, who told someone else. Next thing anyone knows it's all over school that we're not a couple."
"What happened to Lisa? Do you guys stay in touch?"
"She got married. Her hubby didn't go to school with us. I understand he's older."
I asked, "what about Holly West."
"Holly likes girls."
"Really?" I asked. "There's a surprise."
The quintessential lipstick lesbian, Holly was another girl who could have her pick of boys.
"She went to the senior prom with Michael Lennon."
Julie gave me the latest on Holly. "I saw her at the grocery store holding hands with her lady."
