There's Perks to Being Me, I Suppose

October 1, 2006
Dear Friend,

I was referred to the school counselor. My roommate referred me because I kept having flashbacks, and supposedly they continue to get worse. I do not remember most of them. I am confused when I pull out of one and look at my roommate. Oh, his name is Caleb. He is really nice. He is gay. It is weird. Most of the people I know at this school at least have interest in both genders. I have only met one guy, a friend of Daniel’s, John, who is interested in girls, and only girls. It is almost a shame. Because he is attractive.

Caleb’s boyfriend is a year older, and goes to the same school. He has a minor in psychology. He continually tells me that I would be a great person for him to do a research paper on. He asks if it is okay. I do not know what to say.

I feel like a freak.

Love always,
Declan
