“That doesn’t mean she hasn’t been all over this school, telling anyone who will listen that she thinks you’re hot.Literally everyone knows this except you cause you can’t get over pen pal chick.”Dane said and both he and Ezra snickered, high fiving over my desk.
“Don’t call her that.”I said, pushing their hands out of my face.
“Touchy, touchy.”Ezra teased, pulling his hand back dramatically just as the bell rang and the teacher walked into the room.

I don’t have a car, so Dane picked me and Ezra up at my house at 6:45 before driving us over to Maggie’s.When we got there, Dane honked the horn and Maggie came bouncing down the front steps wearing a skirt so short that she had to hold it down when she walked.That doesn’t leave much to the imaginationI thought to myself and hopped into the back seat to sit next to her on the way to the movies.
“I didn’t realize you would be bringing friends.”Maggie said, closing the door.
“Well, I don’t have a car, so Dane is my personal taxi driver.”I slapped his shoulder from my spot behind the driver’s seat.
“That’s me, Driver Dane, at your service.”He tipped his hat and smiled at her in the review mirror.She sneered at his reflection and turned back to me.Why is she so mean?
“We’re meeting the group at Buckey’s for shakes before the movie.”
“Okay.”I said.“Dane, you know where Buckey’s is right?”
“Yeah.”He said, then looked at Maggie again in the mirror.“So, Maggie, will Liz be there tonight?”
“Of course she will!Why?”
“I thought maybe you would want to introduce me to her?”She raised her eyebrows at him.
“And why would I want to do that?”
“I mean, seeing how I had to drag Lee out tonight for you and all.”I huffed a laugh under my breath at that.
“Yeah okay.”She said to Dane then turned back to me again, “I’m really glad you came out tonight.I’ve been dying to talk to you.”She tapped my nose on the “you” like you would do to a little kid.
“Oh.I didn’t know, you never really showed any interest in talking to me before.”I said.
“That’s cause I thought you were unavailable.”She nudged me with her shoulder playfully.
“And who says I’m not?”
“Everyone knows you broke up with Stacy and haven’t been dating anyone since.”
“Lee’s been saving himself for a girl that lives all the way across the country.”Ezra said matter-of-factly.
“Oh.You’ve beensavingyourself?”She runs her finger up my thigh.“That’s just … so selfish of her.We’ll have to change that, I guess.”She finishes and tugs my hand, dragging me out of the car once we stop at Buckey’s.

Maggie was an easy distraction.I didn’t particularly enjoy hanging out with her and her preppy friends, but it did give me something to do outside of school and that made my mom ease up on the after-graduation talks.But, man, if she wasn’t straightforward with putting herself in my face.It was a bit of a turn off for me, honestly.I’ve never been one to go for the showy girls and Maggie was pretty damn showy.
I didn’t really make us an official “thing”, but I guess it was implied.We casually dated for a couple weeks before she invited me over to her house for a Friday night movie.It wasn’t until I got there that I realized it was just the two of us and her parents had gone out of town for the weekend.
We sat on giant bean bags in her basement, watchingScream 2on the big screen TV.I had my hands in my lap, and I was enjoying the flick because I hadn’t seen it before, when she grabbed my arm and brought it around her and laid her head on my lap.
“What are you doing?”I asked, jerking away awkwardly.She had a hand on the zipper of my jeans.
“Just a little something.”She said with a grin.“Sit back and enjoy.”She proceeded to unzip my pants and her mouth was on me before I could object.
I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it, but I closed my eyes and imagined it was Ellie there kneeling between my legs and that was enough for me to sit still and let my head roll back.
Before I was even done, she wiped her mouth and stood up smiling, “Hope that helped to loosen you up cause I’m about to really blow your mind now.”And she climbed right onto my lap, taking me in and finishing me off.I managed to push her up and off of me before I actually came and shoved my shirt into my lap to catch the shoot-off.
