“How understanding of you,” I comment dryly

“Seriously though,” She says, “you need to chill” Having sex is not as big of a deal as you’reit”

I throw my covers back over my head

“I’e says loudly so I can hear her, “because you’re way prettier and cooler thanyou for years now I just want to see it solved I’m the one who’s messed up, remember?”

My deter, I peek out an eye at her

“Stop it”

“What?” She says “It’s true My parents are one fight away froood I failed out of university, and you’re the only friend who hasn’t told o to hell because I’ve driven them to it”

Her dark eyes are bulging out slightly as she says all this Irab her hand

“I’ to leave you, okay? We’re best friends We’ve been there for each other and we’re going to keep on being there for each other”

“Promise?” She asks, an evil twinkle in her eye

“Why…” I say, glaring at her now

She bats her doe eyes with an innocent expression

When I’d originally bought the to be using the new boyfriend, the handsooing all the way But then, the night after the Caribbean dance, he’d tried pushing me too far in the park I’d turned him down and he’d stor on a mutual friend That was it

And the rest has been history, a series of fu than the last Most of the time, I chicken out before we even make it to second base
