I am sorry that these chapters are coming out more slowly than usual. I have been experiencing a number of problems in my life recently which have impacted on both time and energy. Hopefully these will be resolved soon and the writing will get back up to speed.

Chapter 120 ended
As the film came to an end, J gave Max a little squeeze on the leg in encouragement, and then he got up and walked down to the front. "Ok, there is a little time left before the next coach of campers gets here, so what I want is for you to go and talk to someone you don't know and get to know them a little bit. You are going to be on camp for another ten days and you will be in close company with lots of other people. It helps to know some and have some friendly allies to bounce things off of. And while you are doing that, I will be getting to know some of you a bit better as well. So to begin with, I want Mr. Timothy Dalton and Mr. Oswald Bhule to come and talk to me first.
Chapter 121
J led the two boys over to a corner in the theatre where they were unlikely to be overheard. "Ok, Which one is Timothy and which one of you is Oswald?" J asked, although he was pretty sure from the surnames that Oswald was the mixed race boy. When the two boys answered J's question, it proved his assumption was right. "Okay, now I asked to speak to you two first because I see you are both from London and as your names are listed together, I think you probably know each other. Am I right?" J Asked.
"Yeah we live near each other and go to the same school." Oswald answered.
"I'm guessing you probably have the same social worker as well then?" J continued.
"Yeah, she always sees both of us on the same visit." Timothy said.
"Right you are both going to be in my dorm and so I hope we can be friends and that you will be friends with all the others in the dorm as well. Are there any problems that you have that you think I should know about?" J asked.
"The only problem we'll have is if that squirt is also in our dorm." Timothy said.
"Ah, you must be the ones who tried to warn me when I sat down with Max, then?" J said.
"Well we thought it would be our duty." Oswald said.
"Yeah, we can't have our dorm leader pounced on by Squirt." Timothy added.
"Why do you call Max Squirt?" J asked.
"Haven't you got it in your notes there?" Timothy asked.
"Haven't I got what in my notes?" J returned.
"That he is a gay with no control of his cock." Oswald said.
"No that is not in my notes and I would wonder how you have such personal information about someone. After all I doubt you know that sort of thing about each other." J questioned.
"Well we know that he just has to look at cock to get hard so that makes him gay doesn't it?" Timothy told J.
"Yeah and if you happen to touch him there when he is hard, which is most of the time, he will shoot his load." Oswald continued.
"Okay. I am going to tell you two this once and once only. That sort of attitude is not welcome on this camp and especially amongst the people in my dorm. Max's problem does not make him any more gay than the wall behind you is gay. And telling others that he is gay when you do not actually know for sure is totally out. And while you are in my charge, you will be kind and friendly toward Max or you will have me to deal with. And let me tell you, I will not tolerate that sort of behaviour from anyone in my dorm. And if it should persist, I will have no problem in getting you sent home early in disgrace. I want us all to have fun on this camp and enjoy it, so some gently teasing is one thing, but picking on someone's weakness and hurting them with the words you use is another thing altogether. Now you are going to hear this all again, but with different wording when we are all in the dorm together and believe me, if I find someone making another person's life hell, I will take action. Not just with you two, but with anyone who does not follow the rules of the dorm. Got it?" J spoke very sternly and even though he was only a couple of years older than these two boys, they knew he meant what he said.
Both boys looked suitably chagrined by the warning advice and said they understood what he meant.
"Now, with that out of the way, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourselves? Nothing personal, just what you do and what you like." J continued in a friendly tone.
"Well, apart from our colour we are pretty similar." Timothy began. "We're both about the same age, we both like football and skateboarding. We like McDonalds and Burger King but really like KFC."
"And we like girls, but they don't seem to like us much yet." Oswald added.
"We like porn and jerking off though." Timothy added with a grin.
"How do you know Oswald likes jerking off and looking at porn?" J countered. "Do you do it together?"
"We have a couple of times." Oswald admitted.
"So by your own reasoning, then, both of you are gay." J suggested.
"No! No fucking way! I'm seriously not gay!" Timothy almost shouted.
"Neither am I." Oswald agreed.
"But you say that Max is gay just because he gets hard around guys. You two have not only got hard, but have seen each other jerk. Surely that is even more gay?" J argued.
Both boys opened their mouths to protest and then saw the truth behind J's reasoning and so closed their mouths and just nodded.
"Will that help you to be a bit more friendly towards Max now?" he asked.
Another couple of head nods gave J the answer he wanted. J had not thought about trying to bring the conversation to that point, but was glad the opportunity had come up. "Good. I knew you would understand. I think we can have a good time this camp now because you are pretty decent guys underneath all that outside armour you put on." J said with a smile showing he understood where they had come from and that he was not going to hold it against them. "Now you had better go back and join the mixing together so that I can speak to some others also." J sent them back into the group.
J was just looking down his list to select some other camper to talk to when Spiro came back into the theatre and told them they could get their bags and head off back to where the coach dropped them off as the next ones would be in shortly and then they would be shown to their dorms and introduced to their leaders. There was a collective cheer and a scramble to get to their gear and out the door. J was pleased to see that the groups had changed a bit as the campers were walking back to the coach point. J saw Timothy and Oswald heading to catch up with Max and so he sped up a bit also to be on hand should the two try to get in more jabs.
"Hey Max, I just want to say that I'm sorry. J was just talking to us and made us see that we had been wrong in being mean to you." Timothy said.
"Yeah. Me too. I'm also sorry." Oswald added.
Max just turned slightly and looked at the two on total disbelief. He did not know how to take this turn in the two boys. If truth be told he was scared to believe them as he did not know how long this sudden change would last for. But also he knew what it was like to not be believed even when telling the truth and so did not want to call their bluff on it either.
"Hey. It's alright. Don't believe us yet. We will show you that you can believe us." Oswald said. He had hit the nail right on the head and come out with the right answer.
"Yeah. We will show you, and not just on this camp either. When we get back home we will still show you." Timothy added.
"I hope so. I would really like that." Max said, still a little uncertain, but willing to give them the benefit of the doubt at this time; without committing himself to anything that might come back to bite him later.
J was both shocked and overjoyed because he had expected a much harder fight from the two boys. There must have been something in what he said that struck a chord with them which he could not hear yet. Like Max, J was also still a bit sceptical and hoped this was not just a flash in a pan which would get Max's hopes up and then dash them as the flash died down. But he also thought it best not to intervene yet and in so doing possibly destroy any thing he had built with the three boys and so he adopted a close watching brief.
While they were waiting back at the coach stop, Timothy and Oswald stayed chatting with Max and once he looked over toward J and gave a big smile and a thumbs up sign to J. But then the first of a line of coaches arrived and more campers began to mill around waiting to be told and shown what to do. In the end, another ten coaches arrived and disgorged their passengers making quite a crowd moving around and trying to find space to put their luggage down while they waited to be sorted into their dormitory groupings. Spiro waited till the noise of the last coach to leave had moved out of the campus before he called out loudly enough to get everyone's attention. Then he explained how he was going to call out a dorm leader's name, and then the names of the people who were in that dorm. Once the dorm leader had all of his or her charges, the group was free to leave to go to their dorm. The first dorm leader he called was J and so it was not much longer before J had a crocodile of boys following him to their dorm. Spear heading that crocodile were the three London boys and now they were talking together, but their voices were somewhat subdued so that the others behind could not hear what they were saying.
"Max. I know it is hard to believe. But we really want to try and make it up to you for all the shit we have given to you. If you choose a bed next to ours, we will try to cover for you and protect you from the rest of the guys so that they don't find out about your problem." Timothy suggested to him.
"How are you going to do that?" Max asked.
"We're not too sure yet actually as we have not had any time to think this through. But Tim is right, we have a lot of shit to make up for and this is one way we can maybe begin to do it. If you will let us, that is." Oswald continued. "And asking you to trust us is not yet an option, but we will show you that you can trust us."
"I don't know what to say. I am a bit gobsmacked, and this is what makes it hard to believe; there is such a change in character here and I am reminded of the saying that a leopard cannot change it spots." Max answered.
"Look, give us a chance on this camp at least, please. One thing is that I do not want to be sent home early. If that were to happen I would be kicked out again by the fosters and there would little chance of getting placed again; so we have a lot at stake here as well." Timothy explained.
By this time they had got to the dorm and before they entered, J stopped and told them they could pick their own beds, and then if something did not work out they could come and see J to see if some beds could be swapped around. "So once you have found your bed, do not start to unpack right away because you might be moving. Instead make yourself known to your neighbour on either side if you do not already know them and then wait. I will give a bit of a chance for things to settle and then I will come and we will try to resolve any placement issues. After that I will tell you what is expected of you in the dorm and out of it also and then if we are all happy we will be able to unpack and get ready to take a shower before going for a tour of the campus and some food. So go in now and try and sort out your choice of bed." J turned and opened the door and then went straight to his room where he opened a coke and sat down to drink it while listening to the sounds from the dorm to make sure there was no fighting.
J finished his drink and then went back out to the dorm and found the boys all sitting on the beds talking to each other. "Ok. Do we have any problems with the beds?" J inquired and was met with silence and a few shaking of the heads to back that up. "Good, now I would like you all to come up here and sit on the floor in the middle bit so that I don't have to shout when telling you what I expect of you."
As they were making their way along the centre section of the dorm to gather around J, there was a knock on the door. J went to answer it and discovered Spiro who asked if he could come in.
"Guys, for those of you who do not know, this man here is Spiro and he is the camp warden which means he is the head honcho and when he talks now, you had better not only listen but also take it all in." J introduced Spiro.
I'm not sure how many more chapters we will go through before any more sex comes into the story, but I hope you will find the wait was worth it.
