Of course it did! Mwahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!11

I knew at some point they had to go there. Of course, it has to happen in the one moment when Jake has is otherwise committed rather than Danny. Not sure they got it out of their system, though.
-
Yeah, the foreshadowing is a little harder with this one because even I don't know where it might go sometimes. It came together pretty well in this chapter at least. (heh heh... came together...) (sorry, I reverted into a teenage boy for a second there...) I'm not sure where it will all end up, but it should be fun!

You can say it! lol

It was always boiling below the surface. It's fun to play with these characters. I could never have had a cheating scene with Billy or Brett, although Billy came close with Dustin. With these boys I can play more. And really, B&B are the exception, not the rule when it comes to young love.
-
That Brett is as well adjusted as he is is quite the miracle, actually.
-
Talking about what a cad his dad has been came back to bite him just a little bit.
-
Part of Jake's emerging identity is how he is not like his father, like how he would say things about his dad's sex life. How will he react now that his self identity has been thrown for a loop?
-
Oh, it had to go there at some point. I would say they both instigated it.

“Oh my god… What did we do?” I awoke with the morning light shining through the dorm window. We were still naked, and Danny still had his arm draped around my chest. The arm that had brought me such comfort… The warmth of his body… I slid out from under his grip and sat up on the edge of the bed. I put my head in my hands. It had to have been some kind of dream. I hurried to the shared restroom between our room and the one next door to ours. I cleaned myself up and returned to fi

Every time I promise no sequels I end up writing one, so... Sure, it'll be in the sequel. 🙃
-
Jake's dad might need to be fixed, but that's another story. (snip snip...)
-
This went in so many directions I don't even know where to start.... So I won't! See ya 'yeeter!' ☺️

Getting too close could come back to haunt Jake eventually.

We had a Drive-In in my hometown. I only went a few times. They would play two movies each on two opposite-facing screens. If you didn't like the movie you were watching, you could just turn the other direction and watch the other movie. I thought every neighborhood had one and never realized how unique it was.

He knows about people, that's for sure!
-
Don't give away all my secrets! 😄 Hell, the "string" could be my sanity at this point!

When you get so used to saying awful things about someone who hurt your friend, you might not think about who else is around when you say them.
-
Ouch!!! My bleeding heart. Am I really that old? (Don't answer that!) Kids these days...

This is the answer. Jake doesn't live in Donora, he lives in Mon City. The two are close to each other along the river. Aiden also lived in Mon City, which is why he rode his bike along the road to get back and forth between the towns. Danny lives in the same wealthy neighborhood the Taylors did where Dustin got arrested. They'd all be in the same fictional school district. (They're in the same district in real life too, but "Mon Valley High" is like "California University" in that it might resemble a place but it's fictionalized to protect the innocent.)

"My temper was nothing compared to some of the epic explosions Brett had been known to unleash. There was a reason he’d been kicked out of private school. If I was a firecracker, he was a nuclear bomb when he got mad. He was especially known for throwing things when he lost his temper. But while I would stay mad Brett would get over it fairly quickly. He always felt terrible about it afterward." - WAR 1.3 Morning at Grandma's House Young Brett could be a vicious little brat.

One person's "slut" is another person's "player."
-
I agree in a way, sure. A label applied to another vs. a label claimed for oneself... Interesting.
-
Are you saying the boys tend to dislike anyone who becomes a challenge to their relationship with the other?
-
We haven't even scratched the surface on what sexuality, attraction, and gender truly are. We're at the level of looking at the sun and saying it revolves around the Earth kind of understanding. I'm a continuum thinker myself, which probably comes through my writing. My characters tend to be "heteronormative acting." We're all on that scale somewhere, and few of us stay fixed in one place. Resistance to labels is kind of a Gen X (of which I'm a part) specialty.
