Chapter Two

Jo had him meet her at a Thai place downtown, which turned out to be about a block away from more gay bars and clubs than he had even visited in his life let alone seen in one place. Another reason he could add to the list of why he had made the right decision. He planned to take an obnoxious number of selfies to send to that best friend of his. That would definitely make him regret not moving with him.

Over dinner he brought up Lionel, partially because he knew keeping things like this to himself tended to make him a little obsessive about them and partially because he wanted to milk her for information.

Unfortunately, she only knew of Lionel from seeing him around campus. The only information she could provide on the matter was, devastatingly, that she was fairly certain he was dating the obviously jealous guy Gregory had seen him with twice.

“He didn’t seem happy to see him,” Gregory said, loathing the optimism in his voice.

Jo shook her head, tsk-tsking. “Well, it sounds like a lot of drama to me, whatever it is. Is that what you’re looking for?”

He already loved her for her bluntness.

“No,” he responded emphatically though his sigh told them both that he didn’t actually want to let it go. He stared at the wall behind her head, letting the artwork bleed together as his eyes unfocused momentarily. He had been involved with drama and it was no fun and never worth it. He nodded as if responding to the thoughts in his head. Jo smiled, as if this were perfectly normal behavior and stood up abruptly, a huge grin on her face.

“This means that we have to go out and find you some cute guys to grind on and make out with!” she said, demonstrating the grinding in a comedically awkward way.

“And what about you m’dear?” He affected a posh-sounding accent and offered his hand like a gentleman to a lady as he stood.

“Let’s focus on you tonight and maybe you can owe me a trip to the lesbian bar? How’s that sound?” she responded, letting him kiss her hand and then tucking his arm under hers and dragging him out of the restaurant and down the street.

“The good ones are always taken.”

“Someone was in gay boy heaven last night. Ugh, why wasn’t it me?

“Wake up and pop some pain pills. I want to tell you what I think of Prince Smirking and Lady Joanna.”

Gregory’s head didn’t feel too bad, for which he was grateful. He mostly felt sleepy despite having gotten home by eleven and sleeping until nine. The three messages from Wilson were waiting for him when he checked his phone for the time. He was distracted by them and halfway through his response when he realized he had a class that very minute.

He leapt out of bed, which his head did not thank him for, scrolling at lightning speed through his phone’s photos. He and Jo had taken nearly one hundred last night so it took forever before he reached the one of his class schedule.
