5: Strawberry Shower

"You're coming to the beach with us tonight right, James?" Stanly asked, pulling off his boxing gloves.

"As promised," I said with a chuckle, picking up my clothes to change.

"Great," Stan said. "Ford always has more fun when you come around. I think he feels more comfortable knowing he's not the only one who's different from everyone else since you have that hetero-whatever."

"Heterochromia. Maybe," I said turning on the shower to warm the water. My relationship with his twin brother wasn't something Stan knew about. It wasn't exactly a legal one, after all. And the heterochromia was the only hetero thing about it.

"Don't get distracted out there on Monday night," Stan said, changing the subject suddenly.

"Worry about yourself, man," I said, throwing my towel over the bar. "I'm coming for your rank."

"As if!" Stan laughed.

The door swung open. "Hey, Stanly," said the voice of another classmate, Robert. "Good job out there, man!"

I stepped into the shower and quickly washed myself. It was only while I was already washing that I realized I'd grabbed my mother's strawberry shampoo rather than my own. I swallowed as I stared at the bottle that may have just ruined my life. Robert was going to murder me before I managed to get out of the locker room. Maybe if I just wait until he's in the shower I'll be able to sneak out...

"Who's the fucking fairy?" Robert's voice asked.

"It's mine," Stan said quickly, his voice closer to the shower. "Actually it's my mom's but I'm outta soap and they won't let me in the car smelling like this." The other shower started and I heard the curtain close. His Head and Shoulders shampoo slid under the stall and he flexed his fingers in a "give me" gesture.

I set the bottle of strawberry shampoo in his hand and picked his up. I washed my hair again and turned off the shower. The smell of the women's shampoo hung in the air. I dried myself and pulled on my clean shorts and shirt. Taking Stan's soap with me, I threw my dirty shorts and towel into my locker, and quickly left the room, not looking at the others.

"Hey, James," Ford's voice said. "Is Stan almost ready to go?"

"He should be out soon," I sighed sitting on the bench beside him but not close. I passed him the soap bottle. "Thank Stan for me."

Ford raised his eyebrow as he looked at the shampoo. "What? What happened in there?"

"I grabbed the wrong-"

Suddenly, Stan burst through the door in just his pants, his shirt and shoes in his hand. "Fuck you, guys!" He looked at us and offered me the strawberry shampoo. "You owe me big time, asshole."

"Thanks, Stan," I said taking the shampoo and hanging my head.

Stan sighed. "Yeah, yeah." He pulled on his shirt. "I'll see you at the beach later."

"You are coming?" Ford said, excitement written across his face.

I smiled. I could have melted at his excitement. "Wouldn't miss a chance to hang with you guys at the beach."

"Great." Ford stood up. "We'll see you then." The nearly identical twins left.
