The Leads

There’s a big group of vibrantly different people centered around my college life, and I’ll try my best to touch on them all, but I’m only going to cover three at a time or you would get completely lost.

Liam

My best friend at school. He’s a big computer and anime geek with an intense appreciation for cat girls, and I’m really close to him. Really close. He feels like he’s my little brother. Actually, more like my little sister. Liam has a girlfriend, but she definitely wears the pants in the relationship. Not just emotionally and mentally, but physically, she acts like a man. That’s not a bad thing. It makes Liam and her perfect for each other, because Liam is the girl and he’s most likely bisexual. I asked him once, and he said he didn’t know, which means “I haven’t had the chance yet, but yes.” Which is fine with me. He’s the sweetest, kindest guy I’ve ever met and I’m extremely thankful to have him as my friend.


Sam

Another close friend of mine from school. Our group of friends think that we’re attracted to each other, and I don’t know about him, but I’m not. Remember how great my sense of smell is? Sam smells damn good. He just does. Plus, I love his hair. It’s straight and yet has volume without him doing anything. But there’s no way I could ever be with him. He has a lot of problems to work out in his life, related with anxiety issues, the friends he hangs out with at home… don’t get me wrong. He’s a good kid. And I care about him a lot. But me and him together together? Uh uh, no way.

Elise

My closest girl friend at school. She’s one of those people who kind of floats through life and is never really on top of things, but I love her anyway. She’s socially awkward and that leads to some embarrassing situations on crew team (of which we’re buddy-buddy at). Nevertheless, Elise is a good person who makes me laugh. She’s an anime freak who occasionally squeals too much. I still say that I love her. This year, for the first time, we’ll be room mates. Will I be able to deal with her odd quirks in a small six by ten foot space? Or will her squeals drive me up the anime poster-laden walls?

Next post: John, Brian, and Shawn. Damn straight you’re excited.
