(JOEY’S POINT OF VIEW) Now that I am involved in football and Rifle Team, I barely have anytime on the weekends to rest. I do my homework from Friday during my free time on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday morning I am out rooting for Jacob when he runs in the track meets. I just do not know how much longer I can keep this up. Monday came around way too quickly for my taste. Here I am dragging myself to football practice. I think I am going to have to quit one of the teams. It is just beating me

(TOM’S POINT OF VIEW) As I sat there in the locker room after the game I couldn’t believe I didn’t stand up for Joey tonight. He is such a cool guy and doesn’t deserve what is going on. I am the leader of this team! I need to start to lead. I finished getting dressed and threw my uniform in my locker. As I was walking out the coach stopped me. “Tom I need to talk with you about the team.” The coach had a concerned look on his face. “Look I do not care if Joey is gay or straight, I really don’

(JOEY’S POINT OF VIEW) Between the food flying in the air and throwing punches I was actually winning. I couldn’t believe I was actually winning. When I looked over at the others, they were getting their hits in too. I didn’t see Tom any where in the fights. I heard the whistle blowing and through the corner of my eye, I saw the teachers trying to break the students apart. I threw off one of the linebackers and grabbed David, Chase, Ralph and the guys. We headed out one of the doors that wasn’

(JOEY’S POINT OF VIEW) Finally a week before practice was over I started shooting the way I normally do. It wasn’t because things were getting better at home with Jacob. It was the long hard talk I had with Sgt. Haney. He laid it on thick. If I didn’t find my way through what ever was bothering me. I was not only going to loose the Captain spot, but be off the team all together. He needed shooters he can depend on and don’t allow outside, personal things distract them. At home Jacob was talki

(JOEY’S POINT OF VIEW) When I walked out of the house, I couldn’t believe what happened. I never meant for Jacob to find out about me and David. I was in a bad spot at the time, and David came in, and then it just happened. When the guys came over last night, I told them no at first. I should have stuck to my guns on it. I should have never allowed it to go this far. I know I have been putting the friendship I have with David and Tom over my relationship with Jacob. I was only recording them,

(JOEY’S POINT OF VIEW) “Please open up. It is the police!” I opened the door and the police came rushing through the door and shut it behind them. Is everyone ok in here?’ “Yes sir we are! What is going on out there? Why was there gun fire in the street?” “There was a gunman that was sitting in wait. I understand he went after the guy that just left this house. That is what the gun fire was all about out there.” “Did they get Jacob?” I didn’t even wait for a response from the officer. I j

(ALEJANDRO’S POINT OF VIEW) I was getting very nervous. Not only had I failed getting rid of the rats, I still haven’t finished off Jacob. I need to figure out a way to finish off all three of these guys at once. I am tired of hiding out here in Mexico and living like a dog. I called one of my homeys and found out that Jacob isn’t even living where he was living before. The only good news I got was that the police are no longer protecting Jacob. I figured the cheap State of Texas was going to

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, several police officers pointing their guns at me. Joey’s dad was screaming at the police to shoot me; that I was a dangerous thief. “Just shoot the stupid bastard, look at what he did to my son. I was trying to save my son from him!” I lowered the gun to the ground when more officers walked in. The first officer that came in came up to me and threw me to the ground and handcuffed me. He kept his foot on my back while listening to Joey’s dad. “Look office

(ALJENDRO’S POINT OF VIEW) Those stupid kids screwed it all up. The rug rats not only didn’t kill that S.O.B., but got caught as well. It’s only going to be a matter of time where either they put together that the kids are part of our gang or they sweat them and they give it up. I was able to reach out to a homey that was in lock up and told him what was going on. He promised me he was going to reach out to them in County. Because they are juveniles, they won’t be staying in County for too lon

(JACOB’S POINT OF VIEW) As we approached Christmas, the apartment was completed. It was ready for me and Joey to move in. It took several more days because we suddenly noticed there wasn’t a bathroom. So, we all pitched in, including David, and laid the foundation. We ran the water pipes and the electrical wires. Then we put up the walls and roof. When it came time to get up on the roof, I was afraid of heights. I did what I could, and it surprised me the amount of work I was able to do from t

(JOEY’S PERSPECTIVE) Jacob’s grandfather won the law suit and put the money in Jacob’s name. It was a bittersweet win, simply put, because Jacob isn’t with us. The only good thing is that the trial didn’t drag on for months. As soon as the word got out at school that Jacob’s family had sued the School District and won, everyone wanted to know all the details. They came up to me asking if it was true. I told them yes, but didn’t tell them the amount. At the same time, they asked where Jacob was

As Major Moore was explaining to me what direction he wants to take the newsletter, it kind of hurt me. It was my idea. I told him about it, and at that time he gave no indication that he wanted a junior or senior to be the editor. Who am I to say anything? If I want this newsletter to get off the ground I needed to fall in place with the senior instructor’s desires. I just hope whoever he does decide is to be the first editor, is the right person for the job. I walked out of the building and

(JOEY’S POINT OF VIEW) We all stood there watching the EMT’S try to help this poor guy stay alive. They were able to finally get him on a stretcher then into the ambulance. They sped off down Schuster. The cops started asking if anyone saw anything. Of course no one did. The bell rang, so I headed off to fourth period. When I got to class, I sat down at my desk. Several minutes later David came in and sat at his desk. The bell rang, and still there was no sign of Jacob. I was getting really wo

After hanging up with David, I knew I had to get a hold of Jake. I couldn’t believe one of David’s friends had beaten up Jake. Even more I cannot believe that David allowed it to get as far as it did. Nobody really freezes like that, and for that long, unless, deep inside them, they really wanted this to happen. I kept calling Jake every half hour, but no answer. I kept calling through the day until after nine in the evening. Now I was really getting nervous about the whole thing. First David

As Joey and I were talking, I heard someone yelling my name. It sounded like it was David. I turned, and yes it was David! He was walking towards us from the other side of the sidewalk. ‘Just my luck to have the two of them in the same spot.’ I am really not cheating on Joey, but it feels like it. David finally reached us, which seemed to be eternity to me as he was walking towards us. He looked Joey up and down. I was ready to protect Joey. David looked like he wanted to go to blows with Joe

(MY GRANDFATHER’S POINT OF VIEW) As I drove into the city limits, I was already lost. Since the last time I was here, the town has grown a lot. I could remember this town when the west side was one town, and you had to drive thirty miles or so in order for you to get to the east side of town. Back then, it was different, but now the whole place is just one big city. When I reached the downtown area, I started to recognize where I was. I realized I passed the exit I should have taken. I did the

As I got out of the car, the student body is gathered in front of the school, they started clapping and cheering. I was surprised to say the least, at the same time I felt out of place with the attention I was getting. Trying to get my footing, I placed down my cane in order to walk. I started to walk to the doors in front of the building, through the crowd of students shaking my hand and patting me on my back, I walked at a slow pace. I still wasn’t really used to the cane, walking any distanc

Marie, Ms. Hernandez, and I just sat in the cold, very bright, quiet waiting room on the surgical floor, not speaking a word to one another. Ms. Hernandez finally stopped crying but her face was blank; drained of not only all color but emotion as well. It just seemed as if one of the reasons she was on this earth was being taken away from her. For the first time since we had been on the fifth floor, I saw the television. It was on a news channel, the volume was turned down, I couldn’t hear what

The way yesterday ended, kept me thinking. How can someone who has so much dislike of a group of people, and really never gave them a chance? Don’t get me wrong, just like in every walk in life, we have our bad apples. Still, don’t judge all, by the few. It looks like Brian wants to give Joey and rest of us a chance. At the same time I wonder if the peace among us, is like fools gold. Time can only answer these thoughts. Well, what can be said, nothing more happened during the week. I was thank

When I went to bed Sunday night, I slept like a baby, haven’t done that in a long time. I don’t know why that was, all I know is, I got the guy I wanted, now I need to make it work, and keep him happy. I’m nowhere close to being rich; my family is kind of lower middle class. I don’t even get an allowance. My mother is the only one that works, pays the bills, and gets what me, my sister and brother need. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t get hand me downs, but I don’t get designer label clothes or oth

The second week of school went by quickly. Before we knew it, it was Friday already. Nothing big happened, not like Monday. I am worried, kind of like the calm before the storm. Joey and I agreed not to breathe a word of what happen on Monday to his parents. He didn’t want to worry them at all. But somehow Fran found out on Thursday, and told their parents about it. To say Joey’s parents were angry is an understatement. They were totally pissed. First, we didn’t tell them what had happened, an

I woke up Saturday morning, went to the den, and had breakfast with my mother, sister and brother. It’s my turn to do the dishes, so I got them out of the way. I headed to my room, and sat on my bed about to turn on the television, but I heard a lot of noise coming from next door. There shouldn’t be any noise, that apartment is empty. Glancing out the window I see a family moving in. I want to be snoopy, so I throw on a pair of running pants, socks, and high top sneakers, run my hand through my

A story of a teenager coming to terms with whom he is. As he wrestles with the fact that he is gay, life throws him several curve balls along the way from life threatening diseases, cancer to shootings, Jacob finds his way through the web of his teenage years and hopefully comes out stronger on the other end.

Hello! I’ll start off by introducing myself. My name is Jacob, and I am about to start my freshman year in high school, down far west in Texas. I am your typical Hispanic. I guess; I stand right at 6 feet tall with black hair, brown eyes, a runner’s build, but I never ran a day in my life. I’m kind of a loner and I really have no group of friends to talk about, and I just moved to a different side of town again. Just like any high school in the good old USA, there are the clicks, the popular gr

Dear Reader's, As of today, my stories have been completely removed from the GA site. The issue in the back ground was not resolved and I was left with no other choice but to pull my stories. They are not gone, just no longer being posted on this site. If you want to keep up on the stories, please email me and I will send you to the site where they are posting at. Sorry for this inconsistence, I had hoped to have had this resolved, but it never did. The two sides couldn't come to common ground. I hope to keep you as readers, but if not I will miss you. I never intended to leave the site and leave you readers. Sorry again, take care and hope you keep reading my stories where I am at. Thank you, J.P.G.
