Chapter 13: The DVD

Date: 15-05-2015

Fifth grade was a weird time for me because everyone was getting in their puberty but I wasn't because I was younger than them. With puberty everyone's conversation topics shifted from what cartoons they watch to girls. I couldn't understand why it was happening. Sometimes a student would come up to me and ask which girls I liked in our class. I didn't answer them properly so they kept asking. One day I made a mistake and said that Keya was easy to get along with. I said that because Keya was pretty much under my control at that point. She did everything I told her to do. So I was getting along well with her. But they didn't know what I was implying so they told everyone I liked Keya. The next day Keya was really quiet. She would answer me nods. I asked what was wrong but she didn't say anything. I was very confused. Finally Rijon cleared up my confusion. The next day I told Keya it was a misunderstanding and that everyone made up whatever she heard. I thought I was fixing the problem but after hearing this she seemed disappointed. I became confused again. The next few days Keya was depressed and it was affecting her work so I had to do something. I called Keya and was honest with her I told her that she was beautiful, kind and easy to get along with. I told her that I liked her a lot but I never thought of her as a girlfriend. I also told her that if she wanted we could try to do that. She didn't say anything for a minute but after that she just said,"Thank you." That's all she said. The next day she was back to her normal self. She didn't respond to my proposal but I didn't care. I was just happy that she was doing her job properly again.

At that point in time I didn't understand what's the point of making a girlfriend. Didn't we already have friends. And friends included both boys and girls so why would I add an extra "girlfriend". I asked Rijon and he was just as clueless as I was. But Andy seemed to know something but didn't share it with us. It would remain a mystery until one fateful day I was hanging out with Shimanto. At some point I found out that Shimanto's house was close to ours so in the afternoon I would often go to his house to play. We did many dumb things together like climbing trees, walking on walls, jumping over fences etc. Shimanto and I stumbled upon a DVD box. We opened it and the DVD was good. It didn't have any scratches at all. I asked Shimanto,"What do you think is in it?" Shimanto said he didn't know but we could find out. I was also curious so I said we had a DVD player. So we went to my house and thankfully no one was home. We inserted the DVD and a video started to play. It was a video of a busty blonde having sex with his boyfriend. Me and Shimanto didn't know what was happening but we were very intrigued by it. We instinctively knew we had to hide it from our parents but I didn't want to part with it so I said I would hide it. Shimanto went back to his house and I watched the entire video and after that I just couldn't look at girls the same way.

That night I didn't sleep properly. The next day I told what I found to Rijon and he wanted to see it. So after our group study we went to Rijon's house and I had the DVD. We went directly to Rijon's room and closed the door. Turned his laptop on and inserted the DVD. Rijon saw the video and threw up on the floor. He didn't like what he saw. Then he said something that hit my head like a hammer. He said,"So that's what a girlfriend and boyfriend do." I thought it made sense now why we needed to add an extra girlfriend. Because none of my friends would do that.

I didn't even know I could do that. The next day at school I looked at Keya and thought how it would feel to do something like that with her. She noticed me staring at her looked back and smiled.
