I took pictures of myself to post on MySpace and exchange with other local boys my age.

Being slim and dark haired and short, I never attracted much attention at school.
The online world of chats and profiles opened up a new world to me, socially.

Every night, late after my family was long asleep, I trolled the internet chat rooms and talked to great guys my age with similar interests.

One in particular, Sam, lived nearby and wanted to meet me.

I was nervous when I looked across the crowded food court mall and saw him.

“Sam,” I said as he approached me.

“Seth,” he said as he lighlty tapped my arm.

We had lunch at McDonald’s and talked like we had known each other since childhood.
He invited me back to his house to play the Wii.
I stayed over night, on the floor in his bedroom.
He got on the floor with me, we talked, kissed and he took me to places I only dreamt of.
I closed my eyes and couldn’t believe what was happening to me. Was this love?
We stayed in each others arms till morning.
