Furiends:
Chapter 1: Tommy
College, the next chapter in my life. A new environment, new friends, new experiences, and I'm hoping this will turn my life around for the better. My name is Tommy, Tommy The Wolf and I'm a pretty shy, nervous guy who doesn't really have many friends. My only true friend is Duke. Duke is also a wolf and we go way back to the days of elementary school where we met on the playground when I tried to jump from a swing set thinking I was Superwolf. Yeah I know what you're thinking, Duke swooped in and caught me right? Nope the truth is that I actually landed on him breaking his arm and my leg.
We then shared a hospital room where we started to chat, after I apologized of course. From then on we would hangout every day during and after school, practicing photography and writing stories. We stuck together throughout middle and high school promising to be friends for life. Duke and I are like brothers so it's awesome that we are now also roommates in college. Duke is the only person I ever let in so having him with me through this college journey is really reassuring. I'm so excited to start! Maybe now I can crack the wall I built around myself and experience so many things I missed out on in life, but most of all I'm hoping to be able to come out and tell Duke how I feel. Yeah a few years ago I discovered that I'm actually gay and that I maybe in love with my best friend. I'm not sure if he feels the same so I've kept it to myself all this time, but maybe…just maybe here in college I can finally tell him my secret.
