The next couple months brought quite a few changes for our boys in the story. Jacob apologized and moved back in with his Mom. He also linked up with Dani's people through Angie and he and Hari were both doing some low-key modeling. Things were good and Jacob decided not to date anyone else until after high school.

Troye once again postponed the release of his album and became a new constant member of Eric's crew. It was ridiculous, at least Jacob thought it was, a tiny twink, surrounded by much taller, stronger, and all around larger athletes. Troye seemed to eat up his new found role. Rumor had it that he was sleeping with at least three of the guys, but no one ever confirmed or denyed anything, so who knows what the truth was. Perhaps, some of the biggest changes occurred with his appearance. One day he walked into school with bleached blonde hair and Jacob refused to notice it. The next day Troye walked in wearing a t-shirt tucked into a mini skirt, with knee high stockings and platform converse. Jacob could not not look at him. And that sort of became routine for Troye. People talked about it, of course, but Eric and his boys were sure to shut down anyone who gave their "baby boy" a hard time, and that's exactly how they referred to him, as their baby boy or their princess. Jacob joked to Hari, Adam and Jed that Troye seemed to be more like a mascot than anything else to the jocks, but Hari accused him of just being jealous and while he'd never admit it, he sort of was.

And so a couple months made a huge difference for a couple of boys and that's where we'll pick up with this story.

Winter track season was starting, well as close to winter as one could get in LA, and it was one sport that Jacob didn't mind participating in. He had just come home from school when his Mom called out, "Jacob, get ready, we have to go to that track meeting."

Jacob groaned, "can't you just go?"

"No- the other mums said their kids were coming so you're coming too!"

Jacob sighed, "Well, where is it being held?"

"At the Miller residence."

"Wait- as in Eric Miller?" Jacob asked.

"Yes."

"Mum, I can't go there! I hate that prick!"

"Language, Jacob. And there will be plenty of others so it will be fine."

Jacob realized it was no use fighting his Mom and soon found himself in her car headed to Eric's.

Of course Eric lived in a too big gorgeous home. And of course his beautiful mother answered the door and had a whole perfect spread of drinks and snacks set up. "Ugh, she's definitely a stay at home mom," Jacob said to his mother who laughed and shushed him.

Jacob took a seat next to his friend Cory and hesitantly scanned the room. He was both relieved and curious when he noticed that Eric was not there.

That didn't last long, of course. No- only a few minutes later Jacob heard the front door open and close and Eric's mom called out, "Hun- come here please!"

Jacob cringed and looked to the entryway. And if things couldn't get any worse, Jacob noticed Eric wasn't alone.

"Oh! Hi Troye!" Mrs. Miller said when she noticed as well. "Are you running track too?"

Eric barked out a laugh and wrapped an arm around Troye's waist pulling him closer. Troye giggled as well.

"Mum, that's totally not Troye's scene."

At that point most eyes in the room were on Troye and Eric and Jacob couldn't help but to notice the disgusted looks of the mothers as they looked at Troye.

Jacob looked back at Troye and noticed he was wearing the same outfit he wore to school that day. A light denim short skirt, a tight red top, and his white converse high tops. His blonde curls were styled perfectly and his nails were painted white.
