I posted this in a longer from years ago on the old First Experiences (Raw) blog. I won't try to tell the whole story again, but it does apply to the post about two boys of different races.
When I was in junior high we had very few African-American boys in our school. One of them was in the same PE class with me. Our coach assigned "Jordan" to change and shower in a separate restroom, not the regular locker room.
My guess is that the coach didn't want Jordan to have to put up with all the white boys staring at him. I was sort of impulsive back then, not to mention curious. One day I walked in where Jordan was showering and told him it was too crowded in the big locker room. He said I could share the single shower if I wanted to.
Final outcome: after a few more showers we became frequent jack buddies and good friends as well.

Did your other class mates not feel it was odd you deciding to take regular showers with Jordan? Surely your absence was noted? I'm sure Jordan realised your plan the first time you walked into his shower.
