Chapter 6
Later that night, Jake and Red sat around on
some benches near the dormitories.
A few minutes later, Mindy walked up to Jake
and Red. “What‟s going on with this urgent meeting?
I have a test tomorrow,” she asked while she sat
down on the bench.
Jake and Red looked at each other to see who
would be the one to break the news.
“You should since he‟s your roommate,” Red
told Jake.
Jake looked at Mindy who looked irriated.
“What's going on?”
“Well, Rocky has been acting a little strange
today,” Jake said.
“Strange? What the hell does strange mean?”
Mindy said getting more irriated.
“Well,” Jake said then hesitated to finish his
sentence.
“He‟s been acting gay,” Red blurted out.
Mindy looked at Red and Jake unsure as to
what she heard. “Did you say gay?”
Jake and Red both nodded in agreement.
“You expect me to believe that Rocky is gay?”
she asked a little pissed.
They both nodded in agreement again.
“Why are you doing this?” Mindy asked, and was
getting a little pissed.
“Mindy, he felt up my crotch during practice,”
Jake told her.
“And he had a hard-on in the shower after
practice,” Red told her.
Mindy shot up from the bench and glared at Red
and Jake. “I don‟t have time for your fucking jokes.

Assholes!” she yelled at them then stormed off
furious.
“That didn‟t go like I hoped,” Jake said while
they watched Mindy storm off into the darkness of
the campus.
“What if we are wrong?” Red said having his
doubts.
“I hope we are,” Jake said while they walked off
toward their dorm building.
“I wonder where Rocky is now?” Red asked.
“I heard he headed off campus,” Jake said.
“Let‟s go get some beers,” Red offered.
“I could use a beer right now,” Jake replied.
They turned around and headed toward the front
entrance of the campus.
Meanwhile, Rocky pranced around the Bellwood
Mall. He just came out of the Pretty Curls hairstylist
where he had his hair styled and dyed to a bleach
blonde color. He also bought some new clothes at a
fancy men‟s clothing store. He now wore tight black
leather pants, a purple silk shirt and purple sneakers.
He walked down the mall and stopped outside
the Fancy Shoes store. Rocky smiled and liked the
shoes they offered. “That‟s exactly what I need,” he
said then walked into the store.
He entered the store and checked out the
designer shoes.
He picked up and admired a pair of wooden
men‟s clogs.
A salesman with a “Rick” nametag walked up
Rocky. “Those are very comfortable shoes,” Rick
told Rocky.
“They do look comfy,” Rocky replied. Do you
have this in a size twelve?” he said.
