Marine Park: Stories
“He had a little room to himself and his own door with a lock on it, and he never put posters up. This was during the period of us-learning-to-be-better-communicators, which was something he felt strongly about.
Hayden had become good at talking about his feelings, even though that was something we hadn’t done when we were first friends. He broke his wrist and was in a cast before high school and I helped him with that, but it doesn’t count. I didn’t talk about feelings with anyone, because Lorris was too young. Hayden lost his virginity to his girlfriend at the same time I did with mine, and we didn’t talk about it until two months after. And even then I didn’t bring it up, just said, me too, after he said his piece—I’ve got something to tell you, man. That was in the stands at Icahn Stadium in the spring, right after Hayden got knocked out of medaling at Cities in the 800-meter run. I’d done the mile, and broke 4:40 for the first time. He had long hair that season, and he was beg...inning to lose interest in track because of his girlfriend.MoreLess
