“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
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.
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.
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.
"Some of my best friends are gay/black." Yep.
Ironic that a kid who once peed on a teacher's desk in front of the whole class has now become the teacher.
That's my red flag right there .Jake and Danny had two sexual encounters and in both cases Danny has a GF within a week after it happens.Not a coincidence
Nope, not a coincidence at all!
