Kevin had just arrived in Africa and finally got to his living quarters. He was confused not even about why he was sent to Africa. No in Kevin's mind he didn't care much about not going to Orlando like he always sung. He was confused as to why HE was there. Kevin was fine with Elder Cunningham as his mission companion. He never really cared about the church that much anyways it was just a distraction something to make him forget about that kid. Kevin layed in bed after Arnold's amusing lullaby thinking back to why he was so upset.
It was back in 5th grade. Kevin and his best friend Connor were going camping in the local park. This was perfectly safe as they were across the street from their parents house and they lived in a safe Suburb outside of Salt Lake City.
"Hey Connor" I (Kevin) whispered.
"What" Connor whispered back.
"This is soo cool right, staying in the wilderness." I said excitedly
"Yeah I know I feel so…. I dunno Wild!" He says back
*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*
"It's 8 O'clock" I say
"Bedtime!" Connor says back.
We climb into our sleeping bags and I tried to sleep but that night I heard Connor whispered almost silently something that made my heart, will, flutter "I love you Steve" He said. It took a moment for this to sink in he loves me. But being gay is bad I thought. But I really like Connor and don't want to hurt his feelings. I never got to sleep that night but pretended had a great night sleep.
Later that year my father died. Mom made us move to Salt Lake City to live with some relatives. Two years later Mom remarried to John Price. When I got to highschool I decided to reinvent myself with my stage name Kevin. I never thought I would see the one person in the world who knew my identity as Steve Blade.
