Maybe it came with the territory. I was shoved into an all-male camp,
after being bullied by a younger, smaller male. I was big, ((not fat,
muscle)) and slow, and had a kind disposition. I had no siblings, and
little male influence ((father always working.)) My mom was so nice
((helped her cook.)) I played with stuffed animals for a long time ((had
no friends.)) Then I spent that time in CGL. With him. ((With Zero.))
Zero was the sweetest kid I had ever met. Real little ((underfed.)) Wild, crazy hair ((curly and black.)) Sweet, round face ((baby fat.)) Big, doe eyes ((pretty brown.)) Such a cute kid ((adorable.))
But there was hardness behind those pretty brown eyes. He had grown up on the streets ((the mean streets.)) He wasn't a sheltered kid like me ((not sheltered, no momma kissin' bruises.)) Well, not too sheltered ((momma kissin' 'til he was a kid.)) Zero was not always alone. His mother had been there for some time. Before that, there was a house ((with a yella' room.))
Zero and his mom have a house again. It's right next to mine ((with a yella' room.))
Zero and I have been best friends for two years. Maybe it came with the territory ((bein' a big, nice kid)) that I was not quite normal. That I only had one or two friends, now anyway. Most of D-Tent moved on, 'cept Zero. Well, and Zigzag and Magnet.
Maybe it came with the territory. Two of my friends were gay. Zigs and Mags weren't obvious, but we knew. They knew me 'n Zero knew ((how could we not?)) They were okay, we were okay. Then it made me wonder ((thinkin' again, thinkin' of him.)) Zigs and Mags made me think, what if I'm gay? What if the reason I don't look at girls ((like X-Ray)) and go, "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn" was because that was how I looked at guys? Made me think about Zigs and Mags a little more ((Zigs ain't bad lookin'. Hispanic's kinda sexy.))
Made me think about Zero a little more too.
Real little ((underfed.))Wild crazy hair ((curly and black.)) Sweet, round face ((baby fat.)) Big doe eyes ((pretty brown.)) Such a cute kid ((adorable.))
