Tim and Bjorn Ch 01
Tim hosts a Swedish transfer student
You're going to have to "suspend your disbelief" big time for this one, written last year and filed away until a recent edit This is a very different genre for me--so comments would be appreciated. All characters engaged in sexual activity are over 18. No AI was used in the composition of this story. Š 2023, all rights reserved, Brunosden.
I parked the F-150 in the street in front of the ranch style house because a large moving van occupied the driveway. It looked like they were almost finished loading the van. Mom has asked me to pick-up an exchange student who will be spending the rest of the school year with us. I'm not entirely happy with the situation. She had made the decision to host without discussing it with me a few days ago. Christmas break is almost over, and my world is about to be upended for next year.
Bjorn Sonneborg had been at our school since September. He's a full year exchange student. The Coopers, owners of the house in front of me, had agreed to host. They had a son, my age and in my class who was his "foster bro." But Bill Cooper had been transferredâand would start his new job several states away on January 4. Another "host" was needed for Bjorn. Guess who was volunteered?
We are all seniors at the Dawson School in exurban Boulder, COâactually in Gunbarrel County. (Yes, that is not a misspelling. It really does exist. And we're all accustomed to the jokes.)
Obviously Bjorn is, duh, Swedish. He had graduated with a baccalaureate (a college-bound secondary school degree) in Gothenburg. He's a rising hockey player, and plans to attend university in Boulder, about 25 miles away. But, they strongly suggested that he spend a year perfecting his English before enrolling. They didn't want to risk academic disqualification for a potential star, and they wanted to extend his ability to play. Thus, we are both seniors. I'm 18; he's 19. He's been in several of my classes. So, I do know him. We've talked a few times and run into each other in the gym lockers and showers. He's a nice guy.
So why was I "not entirely pleased"? First of all, I'm an only child. Dad died when I was young, just after Mom got her graduate degree in Education Administration. She's actually the dean of the Middle School at Dawson. We're not wealthy, but we're comfortable. Because of her position, I get free tuition at this exclusive place. I'm quiet, a loner, an introvert and I really like my privacy. I've had a pretty good situationâup to now: two rooms and a bath to my own on the upper level of our Cape Cod. I've had total privacy for anything I wanted, including viewing internet porn and stroking. I'm about to lose that.
But, there's more. I've discovered in the last year or so that I'm sometimes attracted to boys as well as girls. It's really confusing. It scares me. I don't think anyone, certainly not Mom, suspects thisâalthough she is always on me about my infrequent dates. And, you guessed it, Bjorn is a handsome blond hunk. I've been perving on him since last September. Now he's going to be sharing my house and my bathroom. I don't need that kind of challenge in my last year at home. I was hoping to keep things under wraps until I am away at college. Then I could begin to experiment and maybe confirm my sexuality. But, I could do it anonymously, not in a small town where everyone knows everyone.
I'm pretty sure Bjorn is straight. His good looks, hockey ability, and foreign cache have made him a chick magnet. I think he's been through most of the girls in our class and is now reaching down to the junior class where there are a few who've celebrated their eighteenth birthday already. Essentially, he gets whomever he wants. Girls are hanging on his wordsâand his shoulders, all the time. I've even caught a few of the younger teachers eying his butt as he leaves the classroom for a little longer than typical. He doesn't seem to mind at all.
Mom didn't ask my opinion. In fact, she announced the decision at breakfast on Christmas morningâassuming I would be delighted to have a "brother"âparticularly since I've got only one more year at home, and she has been elected President of the local teachers' union. She's been traveling most weekends around the State. I've been aloneâand frankly I've liked it. Apparently, she hasn't noticed. She assumes I'm lonely.
My name is Tim Granger. I'm a good student (lots of AP science credits) and an All-State track team member. I will have my choice of various collegesâin fact four are recruiting me right now. All, except UColo, are far away. I'll need to decide in a few months or less. I'm inclined to go far away.
My Dad was an Army Captain, killed in action at the beginning of Desert Storm when I was a little boy. I never knew himâand he didn't have other brothersâso there are no extended family or proxy father-figures. But, I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with my interest in guys.
I'm tall, about 6-4, rangy and slim with modest muscles (good guns, thighs, and glutesâall presumably related to my track training) and a flat belly, lightly cut. I have shaggy black hairâMom, of course thinks it's too long. I've been on the track team for four yearsâlong jump, pole vault, long distance runner. I've also tried a bit of lacrosse, but never made varsity. Mom has commented that I like solo "cerebral" athletics, not team sports. I do like to settle into my head and zone out before competing. But, it works.
My dress (when not in the required school uniform of khakis, white polos, navy V-neck sweaters or blazers) consists of tight dark jeans, a dark hoodie worn over dark, usually black tees. I don't like calling attention to myself. Oh, I wear contacts, but often I find that my black-rimmed glasses are more comfortable. They definitely convey the nerdy, don't-bother-with-me look I've practiced.
I've dated some, but many seniors now have steadiesânot me. And there aren't a lot of available girls at this point. Shamefully, I'm an "almost" virgin. (By "almost", I mean that since my last birthday, I've fondled a few bare breasts, pinched a few nipples, and shot in my pants when she touched me there.) Girls seem to like my serious, chiseled face, square jaw and bright green eyes, but I'm obviously not running for Mr. Personality or Mr. America. Some of them love my quiet, gentlemanly demeanor. But, more of them seem to be attracted to the bad boys.
Like me, my cock is long and fairly thin and cut. I haven't dared any grooming, but I'm not particularly hairyâdespite the black mop on top.
