I’m Not Your Jock by Romeo Alexander

It’s spring break, time to party! What happens at the beach, stays at the beach, right? Thrown together as roommates, Benjamin and Derrick are about to find out that’s not always the case.
Benjamin
I know I look like a typical jock, but my dream is very different. I’m studying business and I want to be a game designer, despite what my parents think. I know who I am and what I want…or do I?
I catch sight of the new guy on the flight to Miami and now I can’t get Derrick out of my head, or my fantasies. I try, I really do—I’m not gay…am I? But when he makes a move I panic and ruin everything.
Derrick
I’m new to the lacrosse team and this vacation is my first chance to get to know my teammates and show them who I am. Well, maybe not everything…even I’m not sure about some things.
When I’m left babysitting him after a drunken night out, Benjamin immediately stirs the protective streak in me. He’s so…uncoordinated, it’s kind of cute. I thought I read the signs right but then I have to go and ruin everything.
