3rd Floor Common Room, Thursday Night

[ultimatehottie]

Johnny didn't see what the big deal was with today. Oooh, people told the truth. So what? He liked telling the truth! He did it all the time! He was awesome. Reed was a douche. Gwen was cool. Alana was hot. He didn't have many male friends because he never truly felt deep down that he really belonged after spending his entire youth out of place. He

Hanna had spent most of the day in her room, or out in the Preserve. But she could smell the pizza from the Fourth Floor Common Room, and it seemed like a good time to practice socializing.

"That smells delicious."

[hexentotchen]

"Do you enjoy that? It sounds admirable." Hanna's dubious tone might indicate it wasn't for her, though. "Or possibly very dangerous and rather foolhardy."

[ultimatehottie]

"Dude, I love it. It's what I want to do for the rest of my hopefully very long life," Johnny said. "It's the coolest thing. And sure, it's dangerous, which is why it's a good thing I'm so great."

[hexentotchen]

That provoked some very quiet giggling, and a smile. "I am glad you like yourself so much. I sometimes am not sure if I like myself or not." Her smile faded a little. "Not that it's relevant if I do."

[ultimatehottie]

"You seem fine as far as I can tell," Johnny said. "And it helps to like yourself. I legitimately wouldn't be who I am if I didn't love myself so much."

You don't know how glad he was that he stopped that sentence there. Dirty joke to the new girl avoided!

[hexentotchen]

It would have sailed right over the new girl's head anyway. Even with the reading of Our Bodies, Our Selves.

"So who is your girlfriend?" Hanna asked, curious now.

[ultimatehottie]

"Alana," Johnny said. "We've been banging for months, but we realized that neither one of us was trying to hook up with anyone else anymore and that we were kind of a couple. It's sweet, kind of."

[hexentotchen]

"I know her!" Hanna gave him a pleased look. "She's very nice. And also pretty. Is banging slang for coitus?"

[ultimatehottie]

"Is coitus the same thing as having sex?" Johnny asked. "If so, then yes."

[hexentotchen]

"'Physical union of male and female genitalia accompanied by rhythmic movements usually leading to the ejaculation of semen from the penis into the vagina,'" Hanna clarified, quoting the dictionary definition in her book. Then looked mildly uncomfortable. "I am not going to ask about positions or any particular activities. So you do not need to share that information."

[ultimatehottie]

"Good, because that would have gotten really uncomfortable for both of us," Johnny said. "I would have gone on in detail."

[hexentotchen]

Hanna started to ask another question... then realized that Johnny would be unable *not* to answer.

So, pizza. In the mouth. It was very good.

"This is very good pizza."

[ultimatehottie]

"Do I want to know what you were about to ask?" Johnny asked with a laugh.

[hexentotchen]

Good question, because Hanna could honestly say, "No, you do not," without having to say why or what it had been. Good. "People are easily embarrassed by sexual facts and too much information too process out of contest," she observed.

[ultimatehottie]

"I have way less shame than most people," Johnny said. "But you're probably right, I probably don't want to know."

[hexentotchen]

"I am reading about sex-- coitus and other activities-- from a book which Alana sold me. It's been very informative," Hanna told him, since this wasn't something that embarrassed her, and she didn't see how it could embarrass Johnny. "Someday I think I'd like to try some of those things. Just not ... quite yet."
