She knew it wasn’t supposed to feel like this.
Not the fact that it only lasted five minutes, and, aside from the initial pain, didn’t really feel like much of anything-no, that? She expected. What she hadn’t expected was the guilt. She hadn’t expected, after it was over, for him to just drop her off without even a goodbye or a kiss. She felt-used. She didn’t know much about love, or sex-Nora hadn’t exactly been forthcoming about those things when she was living at home-but she knew that it wasn’t supposed to be five minutes in the back seat of a Pontiac and then the guy never speaks to you again.
The first boy you ever kissed was not supposed to treat you like this.
However, she was willing to bet money that if she tried to talk to him tomorrow, he wouldn’t even look at her.
She realized, then and there, that this was basically all high school was. A race to see who could get into who’s pants fastest, and Ricky Hawkins had won when it came to her. It was bad enough everyone already thought she was a slut-girl who just pops up outta nowhere in the middle of freshman year, of course the rumors are going to start flying-but now that Ricky could say that he’d actually gone the distance? It wasn’t going to make things much better. Even though it wasn’t like she had done it on the first date-they’d been going out for six months, almost seven. It was a long time, and she loved him. That meant she was ready, didn’t it?
Apparently not. Hindsight is twenty-twenty, and apparently, it has a mean bitchslap.

Nate, Luke, and Jenny were kneeling on the couch by the window, watching Anna from behind. She had been sitting there since Ricky had dropped her off a half-hour ago, doing a faceplant in her knees and her shoulders heaving slightly. The two boys, with Jenny in the middle, just watched her, occasionally throwing things back and forth at each other.
“What do you think happened?” Nate asked.
“He probably dumped her,” Jenny nodded.
“Good thing-he was an ass.”
“Language, Luke,” Mama scolded from the kitchen.
“Sorry, Mama.”
“What should we do if he did?”
“I dunno,” Jenny shrugged. “What are sibling-like friends supposed to do when stuff like this happens?”
“You know what we should do?” Nate started. “We should TP his house.”
“No-we should egg his house,” Jenny corrected.
“And we should TP it too,” Luke replied. “And we should kidnap his dog.”
“He doesn’t have a dog,” Nate stated.
“Cat?”
“Nope.”
“Bird?”
“Don’t think so.”
“Goldfish?”
“Don’t think he has any pets, man.”
“Loser.”
“And steal his car,” Jenny added as Luke slipped into a pout next to her.
“And crash his car,” Luke corrected, and Jenny nodded.
“Oh, better-”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa,” Seth said, hearing that last idea and shaking his head. “Slow down there, you three. Harmless vandalism I’ll support, but I gotta draw the line at grand theft auto.”
“Someone should go talk to that girl,” Mama said from where she was standing. “See where her head’s at.”
“I’ll go,” Noah began, but Roxanne stopped him.
“Wait, Noah-this might be a woman thing.”
“C’mon Rox, I know her better than you do.”
“Yeah,” Roxanne began, obviously uncomfortable, “but-there’s some things a man should handle, and others that a woman should-”
“Oh, for fuck’s sake,” Gina shook her head, getting up from where she was sitting on a couch, and heading towards the door. “You people can’t ever make up your damn minds-”
“Hey-she said fuck!” Luke looked up from the window.
“Language, Lucas,” Mama scolded from the kitchen.
“Yeah-how come you didn’t tell her that?”
“Cuz no matter what I say, it don’t make no damn difference,” Mama replied giving him an easy smile. “You, I’ve still got some kinda hold on.”
Luke turned back to the window before muttering, “Well, that sucks.”

“So-did you do it?” Gina asked as she walked out into the porch. She plopped down on the porch swing, and waited for Anna to look up at her. A tear stained face looked up at her, and Anna shrugged.
“I’m so stupid.”
“You’re not stupid,” Gina shook her head. “Everybody gets duped like that.”
“Yeah, but I thought I was smarter than that.”
“Everybody does,” Gina sighed. “Seriously, Anna. Trust me. I fuckin’ know.”
“Happened to you?” Anna asked, getting up and walking over to where she was sitting.
“I didn’t get duped necessarily,” Gina shook her head. “But I wasn’t ready.”
“What happened?”
“Well-first of all, it sucked. But then again first times always suck. And we didn’t do it again after that-I definitely didn’t do it again for a while, and then I met a guy who-it didn’t suck with.”
“And it just magically made things all better?” Anna smirked, and Gina gave her a look.
“There’s no magic cure for anything. You just-get over it,” Gina shrugged. “Pick up and move on.”
Anna plopped down on the porch swing next to her, brushing the tears from her eyes. “Still sucks.”
“Yeah, it does.”
“Why are you out here anyway? Figured they would have sent Noah or Rox or something.”
She shrugged. “They were fighting over it. I got fed up.”
Anna rolled her eyes, “Good to know you care, G.”
Gina just smirked, “You know I do.”
