Chapter 1

Matt walked in through the front door of his house, relieved to find his parents gone. His little sisters sat in the living room watching cartoons, still in their pajamas. Tired, and happier than he could ever remember being, he went up to his bedroom and lay on his bed, still in the clothes he had worn yesterday to school.

Yesterday seemed so long ago. Laying on his stomach, he tried to remember last night. He tried to remember what it felt like, his dick in her, her mouth around it. His dick throbbed against the bed. He closed his eyes and smiled. He had made her cum. She had told him to come over tonight too. He wanted her so bad, not just to have sex with, but really wanted her. He needed her.

He thought about her constantly, had from the first moment he had laid eyes on her. She wasn't with Ryan anymore. She had told him she hated him. He had also seen it in her eyes last night when Ryan came over to the party, trying to convince her to come back to him. She threw his ring away. She flushed it down the toilet in front of everyone. Could this really be happening? Was she finally his? he wondered sleepily, still smiling.

He woke up that afternoon around three, sweaty around his collar, the sun pouring into his room. The phone--the phone was ringing. Why wasn't anybody answering it? he thought in annoyance, then, What if it was Jen? He leapt out of his bed and went running into his parents' room. The machine in the kitchen had already gone on by the time he had picked it up. "Hold on a second," he said, waiting for the announcement to finish. He heard his friend Erik's voice.

The machine went off and he repeated, "Hello?"

"What's up?" said Erik.

"Nuthin'," answered Matt, disappointed that it wasn't her.

"What are you doin'?"

"Nuthin'!"

"Oh."

"What are you doing?" Matt asked.

"Oh--nuthin'," he answered. "Just ate lunch."

"So, what did you do last night?" Matt asked, feeling superior. He knew Erik's night couldn't have topped his.

"Oh, nuthin' much. Was going to go to some party I heard about but my parents wouldn't let me go out y' know."

"Suck."

"Yeah. Cuffy and Rick--you know Rick Jackson, from PE? Anyway, they came over and we watched some porno. It was theirs," he added.

Matt laughed, feeling extremely superior. He laughed again.

"Shut up dude," said Erik, annoyed. "Like you're so much better."

"Maybe I am," Matt replied, matter-of-factly. He felt a twinge of regret in his heart after he said that, for he knew he was going to tell, and he knew she might not like that. She hadn't said he couldn't tell anybody though.

"Oh yeah right," replied Erik haughtily. "You ain't never had a girl or nuthin."

Matt paused, for effect.

"Fuck you," said Erik, noting the pause and what it was supposed to insinuate.

"I got laid last night," said Matt.

"Fuckin' liar. You did not."

"I did too."

"You fuckin' liar! Who, then?"

"She's a senior."

"Oh you fuckin liar!" Erik repeated again. "What the hell kinda crack are you on?"

"I swear!" Matt laughed.

"What's her name then? I bet she's a hella dog."

"No way, she's fine as hell. You know Jen Halleran? The one with the long brown hair?"

"Oh, you're such a liar. The one you love. I don't think so Matt."

"Fine, don't believe me. I don't care."

"Sure. Where did you do it then?" Erik asked.

"Her house. Her bed." he answered.

"Man. Was that at that party last night?" Erik demanded, starting to believe Matt.

"Yeah. Well, after."

"My fuckin' parents. God, I'm gonna kill them!" snorted Erik, pissed.

"Yeah... " Matt laughed. "Well, it's not like you would've gotten any anyway."

"Fuck you. What the hell happened? I thought she had some boyfriend? Mike said they were hella serious."

"They broke up. He's a total dick you know."

"So what happened?" Erik demanded.
