Old Friends, New Lovers (Regular Sex Issue 7) - Plot & Excerpts
My name’s actually Mabel, thank you mother, but anyone who knows me knows better than to use it. His name’s actually Luke Foxton, but he’s gone as Fox for so long now that I doubt many people could actually recall his first name if asked. Mabes and Fox. Fox and Mabes. We’ve been best friends since we were seven years old and forced to sit together because the register was ordered by date of birth; although to be honest, neither of us was much impressed by the other at the time. Even back then he knew how to make his dark eyes drip with sarcasm, and I knew enough about boys to make me hate him on principle. I have three older brothers who farted their way loudly through their childhoods. I don’t think they ever read a book between them. Fox, though... yeah, he was sarcastic, and it was an undeniable fact that he was male, but the straps of his army rucksack were always frayed by the weight of the haul of books he heaved around. On the morning of our ninth birthdays, he pushed a dog-eared copy of Swallows and Amazons across our shared wooden desk.
