1. Prologue - Darren tells it like it is…
Hi! I'm Darren Criss. I'm 18 years old, and I'm madly in love with my best friend. This is the story of how it all happened.
Please bear with me if I seem to get a little over-enthusiastic in the telling. My friends tend to compare me to an overgrown puppy. Well, most of my friends do. My new roommate, Joey, says I'm too short to be described as overgrown, so I'm just a puppy. I'd take offense, but he's actually totally awesome. I'm sure we're going to be the best of friends. Or, at least, the second-best of friends. 'Cause no one will ever be my best best friend except Chris.
It all started when I was 8 years old. My parents signed me up for a week at a place down near Santa Cruz called Ride 'Em Cowboy Ranch Camp. My older brother, Chuck, was off at some sort of sleep-away camp of his own, and looking back at it, I think Mom and Dad just wanted me out of the house for a week. So they could do, you know, grown-up things.
Anyway, the first person I met when we arrived was Chris. I instantly got a crush on him. No – of course I didn't know it was a crush at the time. I was 8 years old. Give me a break. But I knew right away that I was drawn to him.
… To be continued?...
