When Jessie entered his new room, he met his roommate. He was a tall, 6-2, man who was very muscular and ripped, as he had a chiseled
physique. The man came out to meet Jessie, who was nervous, and was trying his best to hide his excitement.
The man looked up and down Jessie , as Jessie stared at the man back nervously. The man could see that Jessie was fairly little for a guy, and
had shiny blonde hair, but his muscular physique across his small, slim body prevented the man from feeling much attraction towards him.
He said to Jesse, “”Sup bro? My name is John. Roderick John Barnwell. I go by John. I play on the school basketball team.”
Jesse looked awkwardly at his roommate as he held out his hand and said blankly, “Hello, John. My name’s Jessie. I’m new here.”
John said coolly, “Cool, cool. It’s good to meet you, bro. We’re gonna be having a good time. We’re gonna chillaxing, and hanging out, and
we’ll be having a grand ole’ time. You’ll be my partner in crime as we’ll be scoring lots of ladies.”
Jesse laughed nervously as he said, “Yup. We’ll be scoring…lots of ladies.”
John laughed surely as he said, “That’s no joke, Jesse. Be on your A-game. Want some beers?”
Jesse replied, “Sure.”
John replied coolly, "Alright, cool. Have some."
John gave him a couple of beers from the fridge from them to swig on, to swill down, before popping on the tele.
While they were on the couch, he asked Jesse, “So Jesse, tell me about yourself. Were you cool in high school? Were you a geek? Let me know!”
Jesse thought to himself, ‘Well, technically, I’m a transguy, since the RA performed magic on me, and turned me from a girl into a boy. But I
can’t tell him that, since I’m here mostly because this was the only room left.’
John asked him again, “Jesse, I’ve asked you a question.”
Jesse replied nervously, “I was kind of average. You know, just a regular guy.”
John replied coolly, “I get it. You were a geek. You don’t want others to know, because you were bullied a lot, right?”
Jesse laughed nervously as he lied, “Yeah, I guess. But I’m just trying to find my way through school right now.”
John responded, “Cool. Well, if you need anything, I’ll be your muscle. Like muscle for the don. Have you seen any mafia movies? The
Godfather is a good movie. One and two.”
Jesse replied, “I’m sure. Haven’t seen it, but it sounds interesting.”
John did a belly laugh as he said, “You haven’t seen the Godfather! You’re in for a treat! All manly men need to see this movie at least once in
their lifetime! We’re gonna have movie night, and it’s gonna be good, bro!”
Jesse laughed, as he said nervously, “Fo’ sho’.”
John pondered about this Jesse fellow. Something semed a bit strange about him, but he figured he didn’t need to know. He decided to
continue on conversing regardless.
John said, “So, what were your favorite interests? Were you a sports guy, a Harley Davidson dude, or a Star Trek geek?”
Jesse thought hard, and lied, “All three? Although, I kept most of those interests to myself.”
John asked, “So what did you talk about to your friends most of the time?”
Jesse laughed nervously, as he nervously belched, before saying, “Just girl….girlzzz. Guy stuff. Talking about girls. Ladies.”
John asked Jesse, “Wait, you just paused right there. You’re not…um, queer, are you?”
Jesse lied again, as he blurted out, “Oh no. Gay? That’s absurd. I am into the…ladies.”
John replied, “Okay. Just askin,’ that’s all.”
After watching television for a while, John thought of another idea.
John asked, “Have you played sports in school?”
Jesse replied, “Uh no, why?”
John replied, “You look like a fit young fellow. There’s walk-on tryouts at the practice facility. It’s this Wednedsay, at 7 pm. If you’re not
taking any classes then, you should try out. I hear people get all sorts of internships from being on the basketball team. You should come out
with us.”
Jesse responded happily, “Alright. I’ll look into that.”
John said as he bumped Jesse’s fist, “Cool. Do that.”
Jesse spent most of the afternoon warding off his attraction to John, as he was bothered by John’s attractiveness, as it’s been bubbling
underneath the surface. Jesse has been playing it coolly, but feels a desperate to find another way to hide it, as he doesn’t find most girls to be
attractive at all. Going to his section of the room inside the dorm, Jesse decides to study, while trying to figure out how best to avoid his homo
erotic feelings around John.
