Oh My Groin!

Before I continue with this post, I would like to stress that technically I'm still a virgin, and that what I'm about to write can be quite shocking to the prude.

It all begins in Primary School. As innocent pupils, we play games. Sometimes, the game can be normal, like Jump rope, Hopscotch, or the simple Hide and seek.

The game can be downright stupid, like making the longest string-like residue by rubbing the rubber slowly on the table.

Or unsavoury, like playing Rock, Paper, Scissors and having the loser undo a button one by one. Of course only the boys would play that game as we were wearing dress shirt.



Another questionable game that is exclusive to the boys is um...
Groin-touching.

Popularly played among the boys, the objective of the game is to touch the others' groin while protecting your own groin from being touched.

Don't ask me how this game came about, might have been invented by a lecherous gay boy, but we sure had a lot of fun playing that game, and I sort of mastered the game. Okay, that's not the point.

You see, as fate would have it, I was sitting next to a guy, to whom I shall name as Lecherous Lex. One day I playfully touched his groin, and he reciprocated by putting a hold on mine.

Me: Hey, you touched too long.

LL: Hehe, then you can touch mine again.

Me: Ok.

Soon, the touching turned into fondling...... and I shall spare you the gory details. Mind you, all these happened during class, while the teacher was teaching. However, as we sat close to each other, we managed to "touch" each other surreptitiously. It was fun at first, but soon I began to feel disgusted. I do realized something is wrong about this but I don't know why. Probably it felt like having promiscuous sex without love. Unfortunately, day by day, LL began to be a bit more aggressive. He started to request for more "touching", especially during breaks. I just refused and not long after that, we brushed the whole thing aside as we had to concentrate for a major exam.

LL isn't a bad person ( in fact he's a smart ass and we've been competing with each other for the top spot in school), but I can't help but to think, in retrospect, that all he wanted was sex, and I do not like that. Nevertheless, he's the first person that I've had sexual contact with and I could not forget that.

We did not keep in touch after leaving promary school. Yesterday night, I contacted him with the number on the year book as I really wondered how he is doing now, after so many years.

Me: Hello, LL, guess who I am.

LL: Huh? XXX? YYY?... (wrong guesses)

Me: What? How can you forget me? I'm Harvey!

LL: Oh... I didn't expect you to call me, especially not at a time like this.....after so long...

Me: So, how are you doing?

LL: Fine. You?

Me: Same here. Holidaying. Where are you going to study?

LL: XXX university.

Me: What? Oh, my! That's the same university I'm going to. WOW!

(I was so shocked.)

LL: Really? What course are you doing?

Me: Chemical Engineering.

LL: Same here.

(I was even more shocked)

We chatted for a while but we did not talk about that "thing" we did in school. According to him, he was applying to further his studies in Singapore, but he didn't go as there was no scholarship for him. XXX University, however, offered him full scholarship, and so he decided to go there instead.

Apparently, we'll most probably end up in the same class again, as fate would have it. I don't know how I should feel about this. Don't tell me we're gonna end up as roomates like the case in Notroh Woods.

No, I don't really like that. It'll be so awkward.
