tenth graders part 3

[the fun days of recuperating will be told later, skip to get to the school story now]
Josh was beginning his new life. he was done with his old life. now for the first time in his life, he went to public school. he wore his newly bought clothes and ignored the loud rowdy students around him.
josh sat impatiently through the math class, feeling despair that he could not comprehend the math Miss O'Conner taught. he stared dazed at those crazy shaped notations which he had never seen in his life. he also was impatient for recess, hoping to talk to a girl for the first time in his life of course, not counting mother.
as soon as the bell rang josh hurried to the nearest student with long hair and said "Hi my name is josh." the girl sneered snobbishly. josh needed to talk to a girl! "I really had difficulty with the math class" the girls eyebrows jumped in surprise. josh continued desperately, I hope you can assist me with the work during breaks or something.
the girl shut her eyes and asked what color are my eyes? josh stammered uh I am sorry id din not pay attention. the crowd watching began to laugh at his embarrassment and another girl took the first one by the arm to lead her out of the disaster zone. "My name is Stacy meet me at lunch" she called over her shoulder.
josh stood there stunned. two big guys came really close and said "you think you can just take our girls" one shoved josh in the shoulder. josh dropped his books and the crowd laughed. "I am a homosexual" blurted out josh in desperation "gross" shouted the two jocks. Josh reached toward a hand of one of them and he leaped away. josh continued reaching toward each person and they soon got bored and left the room. finally josh bent over and gathered his books.
another boy with short black curly hair approached his skin was the same color as his dark brown eyes. "You are tough" the boy said and explained that he would never tell those strong bullies he was a homo. if they knew they would keep away and no friends.
josh knew better than to say that he found the sight of the brown skin revolting and instead asked "my name is josh wjat is your name?" "Bert" responded the new friend. josh asked bert to tell him what led him to his first gay experience. bert told his story that ever since fifth grade while others were all interested in girls he just was not interested. soon other students were laughing at him and calling him a virgin and ridiculing him as if that was a bad thing. however he would not try to meet a girl who he was not attracted to. finally one day in the sevnth grade he saw a boy that he wanted to be near. that boy was kevin and we started hanging out after school. at first he was very shy about his attraction but one day he had laid his arm on kevin's shoulder. kevin looked nervous but had put his hand on bert's knee. bert had slid kevins hand along his thigh. bert paused in the story but was encouraged by josh's smile continued that kevin had asked if he wanted a hug we then stood and pressed against each other you know. "cool" responded josh, "is kevin in this school now?" yeah we can go and meet him. in those days students didnot have mobile phones yet. josh and bert went to kevins class room. kevin was sitting alone in the empty classroom writing. kevin had light brown hair cut veryu short except for those bangs hanging down his forehead similar to josh's haircut except that josh had dark brown hair. josh took notice of the eyecolor this time. kevins blue eyes were surrounded by the usual white of the eye and the pinkish white skin of the majority race in the US. josh imagined this bi-racial couple and considered that he had only seen parents of the same color together but love "knows" no such distinctions. josh asked why kevin was in the room instead of playing? kevin smiled and said with confidence I am a homosexual. bert shook his head and whispered "I dont know how you crackers are so open." to be continued.
