action

joe woke up the next day with an uncertainty in

his stomach. he wandered the school walking from

class to class with a nervousness about what would

happen after school. he played numerous fantasies

throughout his head. would she fall in love with

him? that was the one fantasy that kept reoccuring

in his mind. he didn't know why. not many boys of

joe's age were dreaming of marriage and love, but

joe was. anna woke up with dread fearing that if

the day didn't go as she expected she would be at

a crossroads in her life. she didn't know what she

would do if joe refused her or even worse, tell

everyone about her failed attempts of making an

interactive adult site. that was what she liked to

call it. it sounded professional.

the school day ended and joe went on his bus

without stopping by the front of the school where

his friends would usually share the day's gossip

and happenings with one another. anna walked by

the front of the school and saw joe's group of

friends stare at her as they talked about her and

who she would be with next. she found the 11 bus

and got on, looking for joe. joe saw her, but did

not give eye contact; he waited for her to find

him. anna saw joe looking through the window and

sat down in the empty seat next to him. "hey," she

said. "hey," joe answered back. they sat in

silence while the other kids looked at the odd

couple. joe, who never so much talked to another

girl, sitting next to the girl, anna, who had

talked amongst other things with many boys.

joe's parents weren't home that afternoon. every

friday was a date night; they would go out and

watch a movie, walk around, eat dinner, and go

home late at night. joe had the house to himself

until usually 10 or 11, which was convenient for

anna. joe invited anna up to his room and turned

on his computer. he had no idea what to say, but

remembered that anna said she would tell him what

kind of website she wanted. so as the computer

warmed up joe asked anna, "so, what kind of

website did you want?" anna held her breath and

she had practiced what she was going to say to joe

during the day. it went alright in her head, but

this was real now and the uncertainty rang in her

voice as she choked on her own breath and coughed

to clear her throat.
"um, well it would be a site about me."
"like a blog or something?" joe asked.
"well, i would be selling something."
"like clothes or jewelry?"
"no, like... i would be selling videos and

pictures of me."
"are you famous?"
"haha. no, like it would be like... have you ever

seen those websites that girls have that post

pictures of themselves and videos of themselves

doing stuff."
"like adult stuff?" joe knew exactly what anna was

talking about and tried to play it cool, but felt

his temperature rising.
"yeah."
it was all out in the open now. anna and joe were

at a point of no return. anna put all her hope in

joe at that moment. joe without much hesitation,

but only a pause of silence answered, "ok."
anna rejoiced at joe's answer, but also what that

answer implied. joe was willing to take a risk

with anna and that was enough for her to be happy.

joe built the website whenever anna came over on

fridays. joe did extra "research" for the site in

his spare time. the school was puzzled with this

odd couple wondering when joe would dump anna or

if this was going to last any more than a few

weeks, but this faded with time as they appeared

as any boring couple. joe paid attention to the

rumors because his friends would ask him and joe

would always deny it all with a head shake. anna

didn't care what the school thought, so she

continued on as normal. when girls asked her what

was going on with joe, anna would reply with a

sharp, "why do you care?" and that was that.

anna came over one friday and joe said that the

site was basically done. the only things missing

were the products. this was the tricky part. anna

didn't mention to joe that she wanted and needed

him to be the camera for her. she had no webcam at

home and the computer was a family one, which she

was only allowed to use for schoolwork. and she

gave schoolwork as the reason that she wouldn't be

home on friday until late. her parents thought it

odd, but were relieved that anna spent her fridays

doing schoolwork rather than going out and wasting

money. when joe said that the website was finished

anna gave him a look that said he wasn't finished.
"hey, joe. i'm really glad that you did this for

me. thank you so much."
"yeah, no problem. is there anything else that you

wanted me to do?"
"ha. well, actually there is. and it's kind of a

big thing, but i would pay you for it."
"i mean it's cool. you don't have to pay me. how

big a thing can it be? haha."
"haha. well see i don't have a webcam at home and

i'm only allowed to use the camera for schoolwork,

so..."
"oh, i see."
"yeah."
"you want me to buy you a webcam?"
"haha, no. i was wondering if i could do all that

stuff here and that if you would do that for me."
"oh. um. i..." joe stuttered and mumbled because

of the sudden realization that his fantasy may

soon becoming reality and he wasn't sure if he was

ready for that yet. yet, as he stumbled for words

he knew the answer that he was leaning towards, so

he stuttered back a,"uh, y-y-yeah, sure. i think i

can do that."
anna was happy, but nervous about revealing

herself physically and emotionally to joe. she had

done so before with many other boys, but she had

never met anyone like joe. someone so closed off.

she didn't know anything about joe except that he

seemed nice and wanted to help her for some

unknown reason.

joe was nervous. he had never been alone with a

girl in such an intimate setting. she would be

posing for pictures first to decorate the site.

and joe was pacing back and forth as anna was in

his bathroom changing. what if his parents decided

to come back home early or what if he panicked and

freaked out when anna started taking her clothes

off. what would he do then? he didn't want to be

dirty, he didn't want to feel unclean, like some

sleazy producer. but that's exactly how he felt

right now. he felt guilt pouring over him and as

he was about to tell anna that he couldn't do it,

she stepped out of the bathroom wearing shorts

that could pass as underwear and a white,

strapless, see-through tank top. joe's guilt was

devoured by his lustful desires and he stared at

her as she asked him, "are you ready?"
"yeah," joe managed. he started taking pictures

and made some suggestions for her poses like a

veteran playboy photographer. he caught his breath

as she started taking off her tank top and told

her, "no, wait. stop." anna stopped and looked

concerned as she saw joe look away from her. he

turned around and adjusted his pants to hide his

excitement. he took a deep breath and asked her if

she was sure if she wanted to do this. anna, in

her small voice, said, "yes." joe turned around

and anna began to take more off. joe's heartbeat

raised higher and higher as anna unfolded in front

of him. his lust burned brighter as more fuel was

added to the flame. anna saw that what she was

doing to joe and found comfort in that all boys,

including joe, were the same when it came to their

desires.

samson

His hair was long. Unbelievably long. It went down his chest almost to his belly button. Samson’s hair was never as long as it was since then. When was this? I think it was about three months ago give or take. It was around the end of summer, so maybe it was August or September if you define the end of summer by when you can’t wear shorts anymore. Yeah, I couldn’t believe it either. That long. No, not the length of his hair, the length of his relationship. Yeah, what you don’t know? You can tell if Samson is in a relationship or not by the length of his hair. So if he has a shaved head with little to no hair then he’s a new man, single. If it’s been growing out a bit, maybe three or four weeks then he’s on the hunt, but if you see him with a full head of hair, like Fabio hair, then yeah, it’s on. Who was he with? Well that’s a long story. It goes back into his other relationships, actually it goes back into his name. How much time you got? Alright. Sit down, we’re going to be here for a while.

When Samson was born he was born with a full head of hair. Don’t believe me? I’m not sure if it’s true either, but that’s what he tells everyone. That might explain why his hair grows so fast. That might explain why his parents named him Samson. He grew up with long hair and he said he got his first haircut when he was 12, right around the time he went through puberty. Yeah, that’s what he said. I don’t know if it’s true, but it adds to his legend. Now he started getting trims for his hair, but it grew back within a week or two, so that’s when he started to just have it shaved off altogether. You can call it chance or fate or God, but when he first shaved his head, that’s when he met Joanna.

Joanna was a little older than Samson and she was in a league of her own. She had all the looks of a model, but she didn’t give anything up without a fight. If you asked out this girl you had to ask her out at least a dozen times before she would even think about saying yes. But that’s where it was different with Samson. She actually wanted to hang out with him. She asked him out, basically. And so begins the real story.

Joanna was around 14 while Samson was turning 13, but they were inseparable. She was headstrong and didn’t care what anyone else thought except for Samson. He would listen to her and he did what she told him to do, but not because he was scared. The only reason Samson listened to Joanna was because he wanted to. He wanted to be with her and whenever Joanna would get into one of her moods or rants about how much she hated being told what to do, Samson would stay cool, ask her if she needed anything. That would trip me out if I saw a screaming girl and a boy responding to her like that. But that’s Samson for you. Now his hair was growing out this whole time and he didn’t care much about it. But he figured that it was time for a cut, so he was with Joanna one day and told her that he was going to go get his hair cut. Joanna, unbeknownst that she was about to set off something in Samson that if she knew what were to happen she would’ve taken it back instantly, said, “Good.” Samson says that that was the first time in his life that he ever felt such an intense anger that he didn’t know what to do or how to react. He just stood there, little 12 year old Samson, shaking in fury. He wouldn’t say a word to Joanna after that. He just off and disappeared and refused to see her anymore. Now of course if anyone else did this to Joanna she would be just equally as furious, but because of the mystery and the fact that Samson was angry for the first time with the reason being her, she tried repeatedly to apologize. Samson would hear none of it. Joanna stopped reaching out and Samson moved that year to another state, so that was the end of that, but the beginning of what we now know as the “ritual.”

The “ritual” was begun by Samson after that time when he met another girl, but he didn’t really last long with her, so I can’t recall the name. But what he would do is whenever he started a new relationship he would grow his hair and when the relationship ended he would shave it off to begin again. Yeah that’s what I asked, what happened if he shaved his head and he didn’t get into a relationship for a while. But that’s never been the case with Samson. Sure enough a week or two after shaving his head he would be with another girl. Without fail, he would find a girl before his hair even knew what was going on. It’s been like that for about 10 years. Yeah I know where does he find this many girls to even go out with. I don’t know, but that’s the way it’s always been until about a year ago.
