Wolf Like Me - Prologue. Locker Staring Contest
I thought I’d left my days of staring into gym lockers back in high school. I picked up the habit in middle school the one time I caught the wrong asshole’s attention and got the shit beat out of me. I’d kept it up for six years, and thought my senior year would be the last time. University was supposed to be the liberal bastion of sodomy and sin, and I’d left my homophobic Texas hometown for Virginia (which if you ask any Southerner isn’t technically in the South, even if it is below the Mason-Dixon). I am in a much better place, I shouldn’t have to stare at my locker while changing for practice.
It’s not that I want to stay in the closet, I don’t hide that I’m bi, I just can’t find a less awkward time to come out. I don’t really brag about conquests, male or female, and I’m not in a relationship either. Plus, the places I pick up men and the places I pick up women aren’t the same, and there is only one place I seem to run into my teammates. So I can’t really blame them for not figuring out that Cory Card, freshman linebacker, plays for both teams.
And, to be honest, most of them seem like they wouldn’t care, nor would they read anything into stray looks. I’ve managed to break the locker-staring habit, and do well enough to look at whoever is talking to me, but I still have reason enough to keep my eyes fixed where they’d been for most of my teens –
Fucking Efrain fucking Garza.
