PERSONALITY:

Dustin is everything an all-American boy should be- upbeat, athletic, smart, funny, and constantly seeing the bright side in all situations. He’s one of the best friends you can have, because he will always stick by you no matter what. He’s trustworthy, honest, and hardworking. By first impression, you would never think that there was anything wrong in Dustin Gabriel’s life, because his personality simply shines above those imperfections.

However, beneath his joyful, somewhat perfect appearance, Dustin hides a lot of pain. He doesn’t like to show any negative emotion, because he doesn’t want other people to worry about him. He gets depressed just like everyone else sometimes, but he feels that if he shows it, people won’t view him the same way. He is always optimistic, sometimes annoyingly so, and he uses this cheerfulness as a way to cover up his true feelings.

Dustin is a good guy, but he’s a very, very confused guy. Not many people can see inside him far enough to know that.

PAST:

Dustin was born to Lucille and Jack Gabriel in the sunniest part of Hollywood, California. He was a typical kid, although his parents sometimes expected too much from him. As an only child, he was spoiled and deprived at the same time. But did you see him complaining? Never. He was happy.

He became even happier when he met Chloe Ashford, his next door neighbor and best friend for life. They were incredibly close, and it was rare that you’d ever see one of them without the other. They relied on each other for everything, and promised that they’d always be friends forever, never letting anything come between them.

And then everything changed.

It all happened in an instant. Chloe moved away, middle school was fast approaching, and the pressure was on. Dustin was terrified, and thrown into a world he knew nothing about. His parents had dominated middle school and high school…and as a result, expected Dustin to do the same. He began training six hours each day in football, and became a member of the soccer, track, and basketball teams soon after. His natural ability was obvious, and before long he was the captain of most of the school sports teams.

Not to mention the fact that he had ladies lining up at his door in swarms.

Dustin had his first girlfriend when he was twelve years old, although you could barely call it a relationship, and before long, the girlfriend craze spun out of control. He switched girls every month or so, and occasionally had two at the same time. He felt absolutely horrible, but for some reason, he just couldn’t stop. This went on for about three solid years.

When Dustin was fifteen, he saw a flyer for free ballet lessons. Immediately, he was captivated. His parents would not allow him to sign up, for fear that it would ruin his reputation, but Dustin began attending the classes in secret. He worked harder than ever before- maintaining his talent in football, soccer, track, and basketball, while mastering his art of ballet on the side. And he did a pretty good job of keeping that secret.

During junior year, however, the secret broke loose. And that secret seemed to inspire other rumors, until no one knew what to believe. ..and many people accused him of being gay. Dustin fiercely denied the accusations, scared out of his mind. He began getting more girlfriends than ever before- and being more of a manwhore- in order to prove that he could never be…that. But as time went on, he began noticing some of the other guys in that ballet class…and realizing that perhaps being gay wasn’t such a bad thing.

Before long, Dustin Gabriel had a boyfriend. And he was proud of it.

The school was shocked. How could Dustin, one of the most popular guys in school, ruin himself this way? They asked him questions, whispering about him in the hallways. Was it true? Was this some kind of joke? Was he bisexual, or had all those girlfriends been a lie to begin with? Dustin was getting sick of all these labels, and when asked, he simply said he didn’t know. He did like girls, but he liked guys more, and he didn’t know if that would ever change. When he and his boyfriend broke up, many thought Dustin had decided to be straight again….but he calmly explained that it had fizzled out, just like any other relationship can. The hype died down a little bit, and finally, Dustin felt like he might be on his way to discovering himself.

Senior year seemed like it would be an easy ride. He was getting good grades, doing all his sports, and freely attending his ballet classes.

And then…Chloe moved back.

PRESENT:

Of course, Dustin is absolutely thrilled that his best friend is here for him again. But seven years have whizzed by and she is…different. Certainly not different in a bad way, but different in a way that makes Dustin reconsider this whole “gay” thing. After all, Chloe has always been pretty- but there’s a huge difference between a pretty 4th grader and a tall, gorgeous seventeen year old girl.

And then, there’s Chris, Chloe’s older brother…who is suddenly also looking pretty awesome. Dustin has never been more confused in his entire life.

There is no doubt that he likes them both…but he cannot decide which one he likes more. And how he suddenly feels this way out of nowhere. His life is about to get pretty complicated.
