Yes, Lisa, the GSA is a great idea. I wonder where that idea came from.

Thanks Lisa, Your comments always uplift my spirit.

Knots 3 Chapter 21 Andy My heart was racing as we walked down to talk to the student activities director about forming an LGBT club. My first thought was, how in the hell did you get yourself into this situation. You should have listened to Matt. After all, who knew how the kids at school would react when they found out it was my idea. But then Emily and Gina weren’t lesbians and as far as I knew Ollie could be bisexual or gay, and he’d fit right in. If they were willing

Knots 3 Chapter 20 Matt Our date didn’t go too well. Andy got pissed off when I told him I didn’t want to get involved in forming an LGBT club. He called me a coward, and even though he was right, I went off on him and said a bunch of things I shouldn’t have. He got up and left me sitting there by myself. There wasn’t any way I was going to let him think I cared. The waiter and manager left while I sat sipping water and waiting for my dinner. The waiter set

We never know what will happen in life do we?

Glad you liked it.

Knots 3 Chapter 19 Matt It seemed strange being on a date with Thomas. I knew all along we’d end it by having sex, but it was fun acting like we wouldn’t. As you know, he played along. I didn’t get the same relaxed feeling when I was with Gina. I always felt tense. Looking back on it, I realize it was because I wanted sex and she was not ready. I was tempted to talk her into have sex but didn’t. Gina and I talked and had a few laughs, but it wasn’t like when I was with Tho

Knots 3 Chapter 18 Matt Andy and I talked and decided maybe we should move ahead a little in our telling of our story. We’re in Knots 3 and we’re only in the middle of February. Thomas was operated on and was on the injured reserves until June. Dillon was sentenced to five years in jail for raping me, with a chance of parole at the end of two years provided there was documented proof that he fully participated in the required counseling to end his desire for young boys. I’m

I wanted the decision to be as realistic as possible. It would have been nice if he'd have been found guilty of all of them, but it wasn't likely. He wasn't 18. I watched a great movie called Flipped. It's a movie about a boy and girl who just couldn't get together because they misunderstand each other. I had this in the back of my mind as I wrote this.

Lisa As you probably know by now, Dillon was found guilty, but not guilty of everything. But at least he was found guilty of something and won't be out on the streets. I write under the name UpliftedSpirit because while I know conflict is necessary to make a story interesting, I also think it's important to have positive role models. That's why Matt's parents are so great. Andy's have been coming along and as they have, so has Andy. I think I may be a mix of both characters. I don't think I realized it until the last couple chapters.

Knots 3 Chapter 17 Matt All of us went to court to listen to the closing arguments. Wheeler was awesome and the defense didn’t seem to have much of a case, but who knew what the jury would decide. We got back to school just before lunch so I didn’t bother to go to class. I went directly to the elm tree. The bell rang and I stood there by myself feeling stupid. If Gina didn’t show, I was going to look like a fool for the second time. I began to pace while watching the fro

Louis, thanks for your vote.

Bjorde You bring up a good point about the victims having a say. I have of course decided what the outcome will be already, but thought readers might like to take a jab at it. He does need help. Thanks for commenting.
-
They are deliberating now. What would your verdict be?
-
Thanks as usual Lisa for taking the time to write a comment. For some being young doesn't keep them from looking for love. The young sometimes fail to realize they have about 60 years ahead of them to find one or more loves.

Knots 3 Chapter 16 Matt Gina’s talking to me. I can’t believe it. She’s only been on my mind over the last few months because Andy, Thomas, and I were having sex. Girls are a puzzle to me now that I’ve been having sex with guys. I’m not sure she was ever someone I lusted after. For that matter, I don’t think I ever lusted after anyone. After all, lust is one of the seven deadly sins. That had nothing to do with it, but it just seemed like it wasn’t the right way to look

Knots 3 Chapter 15 Matt We had a basketball game that Friday. All the basketball players wore their jerseys to class. I looked at myself in the mirror that morning and there was someone else staring back at me. It wasn’t the Matt Spence I used to know, but someone else. Something in my eyes looked different. Confidence used to show in those eyes, and suddenly they were filled with fear and doubt. I had no idea what I was afraid of. Looking back on it now, I think it’s bec

Knots 3 Chapter 14 Andy Thomas and I laid there on the old rug after we had sex. I held him in my arms and he snuggled in close. It made me think there was hope after all until he said, “Andy, I really like you. The sex was hot. But it’s only sex. I don’t have the same feelings about you that you have toward me. Sorry.” “You mean all this hot sex has nothing to do with love?” “It can I suppose, but now what?” “But I love you.”

Knots Chapter 13 Dillon’s Testimony Banta called Dillon Burke to the stand. Dillon was dressed in a tailored dark blue suit with a red, white, and blue striped tie. He walked up to the witness stand looking every bit like a businessman. He stood erect and walked with confidence. It was hard to tell if it had been rehearsed, but Dillon fit the part perfectly. Dillon was sworn in and sat in the witness chair, moving around a little in the chair until he was comf

Thanks Astro. It's always nice when someone takes the time to write. I wonder what everyone will think after I post chapter 13.

I liked the coaches speech a lot. I was a coach and have seen all the things that go on in locker rooms and sometimes guys are just very up front and crazy without thinking sometimes. So the coach sometimes gets a hint of what might be going on from listening to the kids talk.

Lisa, I'm glad you found Randy so funny. It was fun writing it because I wanted to make sure his personality came out in his testimony and you prove that it did. Thanks.
-
Yes, for some reason the whole chapter didn't get posted. I'm not sure why. Must have been a glitch when I uploaded it. It's fixed now.

I guess we'll never know. But at least we can hope Jackass Barnes learned something.

Knots 3 Chapter 12 Andy Matt and I walked to the bus stop that morning and all I had on my mind was sex. “Matt, we gotta get together and fuck. Aren’t you horny?” He grinned. “Yeah, thanks to you I’m always horny, but what can we do. I’m grounded and so are you.” Let’s go out for a run tonight and we can stop at the vacant house. Let’s invite Thomas.” “Why Thomas?” Obviously I wasn’t being too subtle. “Well, we could ha
