NO ONE WOULD HAVE KNOWN ANY OF THIS WAS going on if they’d seen our vicious ongoing battle in the hallways of North Potomac Middle School. Perhaps as a foreshadowing of his starring role as Tango on the highway so many years later, Michael loved to assume the role of a policeman who would bust me for an infraction, from suspected prostitution to carrying a concealed weapon. Of course, the fact that I was resisting arrest goes without saying. If I had had a car, perhaps I would have gotten into it and led him on a one-hundred-mile-per-hour car chase like he did to the county police in West Virginia so many years later. My arrest usually led to a very vigorous frisking.

Our prepubescent sex life was dangerous and exciting. This combination of attraction and revulsion was extremely confusing. I really did hate him but there was something irresistible about our ongoing physical relationship. I felt what we were doing was wrong and I’m pretty sure he did too, but between us, we found ways of acting out fantasies and exploring identities we never would have gotten to discover otherwise. It drove me crazy that he still had to assert himself, or I should say impose himself, into my life in other ways by harassing me, teasing me, and calling attention to himself when we were at school. I hated him so much for setting up this dynamic in which he was the tough “straight” boy and I was a faggot at school, while we were both complete sex pigs in private. It didn’t seem fair, and I felt powerless to do anything about it.
