Warning: Sexual references made....

I stayed up super late that night, hanging out with Dustin. So when l finally came home, I just crashed on the living room couch.
That had been happening a lot abd I really pissed my dad off when I came home late. I do keep telling him that I'm not a little kid anymore, that I'm sixteen and I'll be going into eleventh grade next year, but he doesn't listen. I woke up at 7:00am, feeling groggy and unfocused, when suddenly I heard a knock at the door.
I got up, groaning and went to the door. I looked through the peep hole, it was Tabitha. What the hell was she doing here this early?
I sighed and opened the door, there was my bob haired friend standing there, smiling. "Hey Zoe!",she said excitedly. I was much too tired for this, my eyes drooping. "Yeah, hey" I said running a hand through my messy red hair.
"You will never guess what went down last night" she said, walking into my house and sitting herself down on my couch. "Uh, come in?"I said, confused and still very tired. I closed the door and sat down next to her. Tabitha placed her hands on my knees excitedly, "Well, go on! Guess!"
"Umm.....uh",I stammered, "You quit smoking?"
As a good friend would be, I was concerned about her tobacco and drug addictions. What I was more worried about was the fact that she didn't seem worried.
"No, but I quit being single. I got a boyfriend!"
"Oh, that's great Tabitha, but-" I started, but she cut me off. "And I.......quit being a virgin". My eyes widened and my tone changed as it I were her mother. "Tabitha! You can't have sex the first time you meet someone!",I shouted. Her facial expressions suddenly changed from surprised to confused and finally laughter. "Oh Zoe",she managed to gasp, "I was only kidding".
I sighed with relief. Until she said, "I quit being a virgin at thirteen".
My jaw dropped so low that I could probably fit a football in it.
"Thirteen?!" She nodded, "What? It's not like you haven't had sex with Dustin". I glared at her, "Actually, I haven't". She looked surprised again.
Seriously? Is that supposed to be a thing or something? Having sex before the first date?
I have never REALLY thought about it before though. Dustin and I had only been dating for about six months now. Starting in late September, still going in late April.
"Well then who was the first person you did it with?", Tabitha asked. "Actually no one", I said, rubbing my hand on th back of my neck.
"What?! So you're a virgin?",She asked, loudly. I had just suddenly realized that my dad was asleep upstairs and might hear our "private" conversation.
"Shh! Tabitha, don't say that so loud",I whispered. Tabitha didn't seem like she cared if anyone heard us. She simply says what she wants an does things her way, not really giving anyone a choice. It was her way or no way. That's how it has always been with Tabitha.
"Pssh! Sorry Zoe, but you gotta get out there", she whispered. I shifted uncomfortably. I had never really talked about sex before. Not even with my best friend, Cleo. Not her, not my mom because she was never around much, and certainly not my dad.
It had to be a female though, and that female just happened to be Tabitha.
"Anyways, you should come meet him today. He's soooo hot!", she said, eyes fluttering. "How about I meet you guys at the park this afternoon", I suggested. "Good idea", she said, getting up and heading for the door. "Oh! And bring Cleo and Dustin. I want them to meet him too".
"Alright, alright, see you later Tabitha", I said, hoping she would leave and let me get some shut eye. "Bye, Zoe!",she said, waving excitedly. As soon as I heard that door close, I was out again. An earthquake couldn't awaken me now, let alone a teenage girl.
