Previously on Bringing it Home……

So, I’m a gay sophmore, albeit very much in the closet. Where does that leave me in the social strata? When I moved here it took me a little while to make friends but now I have a solid core of friends I would do anything for and I know they’ve got my back. That’s something not a lot of people can say and it makes survival here at King that much easier.

So I’ve introduced my friends. Madison. Kyla, Austin and Addy. You need a bit more background info to bring you up to date with my current situation so I’ll continue

Since becoming friends with Madison and Kyla we always sat at the same table together. Austin was a natural addition to the group and we all got on so well it was like we’d been friends for years rather than a few weeks.

For sophomores, as a group we had quite a bit of social leverage. Madison’s rep as an uber bitch, Kyla’s connections and both mine and Austin’s track achievements raised us above the cess pit of sophomore existence. Oh, and of course I was the sister of the star basketball player. And did I mention we’re all hot? Yeah, I think I did! God, I sound such a valley girl…I can assure you I’m not!

A week after I’d met Addy I’d arranged to meet her in the quad for lunch. Anyway, I spotted Addison walking across the quad. She was wearing her trade mark outfit. Today this consisted of a short jean skirt with a studded belt wrapped twice around her waist. White short sleeved button up shirt with a skinny black tie and today the gods were smiling as she’d donned her black leather boots…if I didn’t already know she was taken I’d have been drooling. As it was she took my breath away.

‘Um, guys’ I said to the group. ‘Do you mind if Addison joins us today?’ I had mentioned that we’d talked but not that we’d had coffee over the weekend. We had become pretty close very quickly. I looked round the table seeing the stunned looks as she walked towards us. We had only been friends for a short time so I felt a bit unsure about inviting anyone else into our already close knit group.
