I was afraid to tell
Reuben that i was
bi, because i thought he wouldn't talk to me. I mean, this is
Northampton, and he shouted out on the streets how much he hated
dykes and
fags. But then he met Carlee, and amazingly, he suddenly acquired a t-shirt proclaiming
Friends and Family
...but strictly straight!
He still seemed
squeamish about anything/one not straight, but she was his "sister," one of his "peeps" -
Crip and
in-your-face. And of course she shattered his image of me as perfect - which i didn't mind, because she was hot and dangerous. And kind of a
flirt.
