Practice Kissing with the Bad Boy by Author aflyingwhale

Chapter 1

"I do not want to spill all the beans girl, you need to hear this straight from the horse's mouth. But let me just say new discoveries have been made." One of my two best friends, Shanley spoke the words in an enthusiastic tone. Ever since she and Paige got here they've been acting suspiciously excited and I was just ready to know what it was they were yet to delight me with.

"And who is the horse then?" I inquired, making Shanley eye Paige knowingly before pointing her index finger towards her to confirm what the first action suggested.

"Okay fine!! I'll tell you! But don't look at me so much, you're making me anxious" Paige mumbled the last part and kept us waiting before continuing as she blushed like a shy little girl.

"Okay. Straight to the point. Frank and I did it." She said, blushing again and hiding her face.

"Did what?" So much for being straight to the point, I was still confused.

"You know...the thing..the deeds." Her hands made weird fast movements as she tried to demonstrate and make me understand.

"I still don't get it." If I was to know what they were talking about, they needed to be direct.

"Just tell me." I pleaded, getting a little jealous of how I was in the dark and the way they kept exchanging squeals without me.

" since you won't say it, I will say it. Frank and Paige had sex. You're officially the only virgin in the trio and probably the whole school."

My jaw dropped as the words left Shanley's lips. My mind was thinking way far from sex, I was shocked. Sure I was the most shy among the three but Paige was only slightly better. I couldn't imagine how she would take such a thing seriously. She was even scared by a penis outline on a guy's pants.

"The only virgin for sure!" Paige declared and both of them shared a seemingly enjoyable laugh.

"That's not true!" I pouted, trying to defend myself.

"Well who else could possibly still be a virgin in our grade Riley?" Shanley gave me a smug face as she waited for my reply.

"I'm sure Zoe is still a virgin, she also has never had a boyfriend." Zoe was the emo, the depressed kid, who'd been that way since she transferred two years ago. I was pretty sure my defence was solid.

"Nope! Try again. I think Trevor took her virginity last year because of that bet, remember?"

Ughh! My face showed defeat and both of them laughed again. It's not like it was such a big deal that I was still a virgin in my senior year. That's not why I was at school and it shouldn't matter. Though I was feeling a bit insecure at the moment.

"Whatever, let's stop talking about sex and boys, it's disturbing." I pleaded before we were all startled by a loud thud coming from outside.

We all walked over to my bedroom window to search for the source of the noise. There was a big moving truck outside that had boxes in it and it looked like the sound came from one of the large boxes falling from the back of the car. Someone was moving into the house next door? It had been up for sale for over seven months now since the old lady that used to stay in there died from cancer. It was probably one of her kids that decided to sell the house.

I only prayed that whoever was taking the old lady's house would be just like the rest of my neighbours-peaceful, not bothersome and not nosy. That was one of the things that made me love my neighbourhood.

"I wish it was my family moving into such a big house." Shanley sighed as she stared at the busy people outside.

"You're also wasting a pretty nice house Riley. If I were you, I'd be throwing insane parties in here, I mean your parents are barely around anyway." She added while looking away from the window to the ceiling as though she were fantasizing.

"And everyone would know that this was my house, I'd keep bringing them over to show off and-"

"Okay. Stop. You're making me feel uncomfortable." I cut her off with a quiet voice. I didn't like when my friends or anyone at that felt envious of my riches. My parents were the owners of an oil company that had branches in other continents but I did not want people to know. Only my two bestfriends knew because I did not want that attention that came with being of a higher 'class'.

The rest of the day was spent with us eating our lungs out and watching sad romantic movies. At 5pm both of them had finally left and I decided I'd get ready for my jog, which I regularly took at 5:15.

The weather was very hot and dry so I needed an outfit that would allow my skin to breath and prevent me from overheating. A black sports bra and short black biker shorts to complement it seemed appropriate so I decided I'd wear that.

I took a quick look at myself in the mirror and couldn't help but remember how Paige and Shanley always begged me to wear more tight, revealing clothes. Sometimes they would even go to the extent of buying me the clothes they wanted me to wear but I never put them on my body for school. Apparently I had "nice, juicy curves that were too good to be hidden from the world."
