I didn’t think Tauys other than ured she’d been with one or two The way she’d been… just the thought of it irl could be like that the first time around She’d barely flinched as I—

But noas thinking about Lucas, who didn’t exactly talk about his experiences, but didn’t leave a lot to the i out these comments—away froirls were just naturals and didn’t need anyone to teach the pretty well

“I was going to go to the phar,” she blurted out “You know, to stop pregnancy”

For the first ti red’ was all about It was like the world was fading in front of me What the fuck?
