" We're trapped! " Harrison John exclaimed as he beat on the locked door to The Novak, the affectionatly named girl's bathroom at Kennedy High School.
" Calm down Harrison, Sugar will be back to let us out sometime. " Josh Ford said. He gazed around the red room and noticed a picture of his ex-girlfriend Brooke McQueen on the wall. He looked at her warm smiling face and missed her for a moment.
" Don't you have a cell phone or something? " Harrison asked as he turned and started to walk over to Josh.
" It's in my gym bag back Bio Glass's room. " Josh explained. He sighed and sat down on the comfy red couch in the middle of the bathroom.
" You know this place is much nicer than our bathroom, why is that? " Harrison asked.
" Brooke said that some star who used to go here re-designed it a few years back. " Josh replied.
" Interesting. " Harrison commented and joined Josh on the couch.
Nearly an hour had passed and the two boys were bored out of their skulls. Josh was pacing around the room and making Harrison nervous.
" Dude, don't use up all of the oxygen, just sit down and be patient. " Harrison said.
" I was patient an hour ago, now I'm starting to freak. " Josh said and kept pacing the floor.
Harrison rolled his eyes and scratched his forehead. He honestly could not believe he had tried to befriend Josh Ford, the star quarter back for Kennedy and all around perfect guy. Had he been that dumb to believe that they would have anything in common with the exception of Brooke McQueen?
" Okay we need to talk about something to get our minds off the lack of oxygen. " Josh said. He sat down in front of Harrison, indian style on the couch. Harrison gave him a confused look and sighed.
" And what shall we discuss Josh? " He asked.
" Football? " Josh asked.
" Hate it. " Harrison replied.
" Baseball? " Josh asked.
" Hate it. " Harrison replied again.
" Golf, I know you like golf. " Josh said with a smile.
" Like it, but don't wanna talk about it. " Harrison said.
" God do we have like anything in common? " Josh asked.
" Brooke. " Harrison said softly without realizing he had said it.
" Why would we talk about Brooke? " Josh asked with slight anger in his voice.
" Nothing. " Harrison said trying to brush it off.
" No come on man, let's be honest. You like her don't you? " Josh asked.
" Maybe, but don't you like Sam? She told me that you two made out after the Sadie Hawkins dance. " Harrison said.
" It was a mistake, but McPherson's not too bad. I'm kinda dating somebody else right now. " Josh said.
" So it says on the mirror. " Harrison replied and pointed to six comments written in red lipstick on the mirror.
" Who is They call me Quackers ?" Josh asked. He laughed and then looked back at Harrison.
" Mary Cherry! " They both said in unison.
" I made out with Josh Ford must be Sam. " Harrison said. Josh lowered his head and nodded.
" So then who is I'm Dating Josh Ford ? " He asked.
" It's Carmen. " Josh replied.
" Carmen? " Harrison asked with disbelief.
" Yes Carmen, why is that so hard to believe? " Josh asked.
" Well she's a great girl and all, but I just don't see you two together. " Harrison replied.
" We have alot in common and I like talking to her. " Josh explained.
" Hmm, good luck with that. " Harrison said in an almost taunting voice.
He got up off the red couch and walked over to the mirror to get a closer look at one that caught his eye.
" I've Questioned My Sexuality. " He read outloud.
" Maybe it's Nicole, I'm pretty sure she'd go both ways. " Josh said.
" I don't think so. Maybe it's Brooke? " Harrison said.
" I don't think so, she's not into kinky stuff. " Josh said as he got up and joined Harrison by the mirror.
" Just leaves one more. " Harrison said. They both looked at each other.
" Lily? " They asked.
Another hour dragged on and both boys were now hungry and worried that their next meal would not be until Monday morning. Josh was laying down on the couch looking up at the ceiling while Harrison was washing off the mirrors.
" So what about you Harrison, have you ever questioned your sexuality? " Josh asked out of nowhere.
" That's kinda personal. " Harrison replied and kept wiping down the mirrors.
" I have before. " Josh said.
" You're kidding me right? " Harrison asked. He stopped washing the mirrors and turned around to look at Josh.
" No. One time back last year, me and Sugar got ahold of some adult entertainment and a couple of the videos had guys with other guys. " Josh explained.
" Josh, watching gay porn does not mean you've questioned your sexuality. " Harrison commented.
" I know that, but watching some of them made me wonder if I'd ever be up for guy on guy fun. " Josh finished.
" Why are you telling me this? " Harrison asked.
" I don't know, just feels good to get it off my chest I guess. " Josh said.
" Well then as long as we're sharing secrets, I've wondered about it a few times myself. " Harrison admitted.
" That doesn't surprise me. " Josh mumbled.
" And what does that mean? Just because my mom is gay must mean I'm a fudge packer myself? " Harrison yelled angrily.
" That's not how I meant it Harrison. " Josh snapped.
" Then what did you mean? " Harrison asked. He crossed his arms over his chest and gave Josh a questioning look.
" It's just that you're always hanging out with the females and you're not really one of the guys ya know. " Josh said.
" That's a little insulting Josh, how do you know that I'm not just secretly doing all of them? " Harrison asked.
" Well I'm sure if that was the case then Carmen and Sam wouldn't be hot for me. " Josh said.
" I guess you've got a point, but I'm sure I could have either of them if I wanted, even without your dashing good looks and stomach to die for. " Harrison said.
" Been checking out my stomach Harry? " Josh asked in a flirty tone.
" Well we do shower together on occasion. " Harrison replied.
" Aww it's nice to know you want me. " Josh teased.
" I do not want you Josh, it's just a compliment. " Harrison said. He sat back down on the couch beside Josh and the two looked at each other for a few seconds.
Then something strange happened. Harrison wasn't completly sure, but it seemed like Josh was moving his face in closer to his own like he was going to kiss him or something. He would have found out if not for the sudden jolt of the lock clicking on the door to The Novak.
Both boys jumped away from each other and stood up to see none other than Mary Cherry opening the door.
" Hi Joshie, Hi Joe! " She said cheerfully.
" Are you going to keep us in here all weekend Mary Cherry? " Harrison asked.
" No, me and my new best friend Brookie have desided that you've learned your lesson. Let's go home boys. " Mary Cherry explained. She turned and started to walk off as Harrison and Josh followed after her.
It was nearly midnight when Harrison got home. His mother and Shelia, her lover, were already in bed and there was a note telling him that there was leftovers in the fridge. He went upstairs to his bedroom and laid down on the bed. He was just about to drift off to sleep when the phone beside his bed rang.
" Hello? " He asked as he picked up the reciever.
" Hey Harrison, it's Josh. "
" Oh hey. " Harrison said. He wondered what Josh could possibly be calling him about.
" I just wanted to make things clear that what we said in The Novak stays between us right? " He asked.
" Oh sure, cross my heart. " Harrison replied.
" Good man, I really wouldn't want some of that stuff to get out. " Josh said with relief.
" Me either. " Harrison said.
" Well I guess I'll let you go man. See ya at school on Monday. " Josh said cheerfully and hung up the phone.
Harrison put the phone down and turned off the lamp that was on his night stand. He rolled over onto his side and looked out the window at the McQueen's house. He asked himself before falling asleep, Do I like Josh ?
