“I wanna have sex.” Those four words left Colleen's mouth and we all went quite, staring at her in shock. Her cheeks blushed up as she continued to slowly slice the knife down the cucumber. It was Colleen, me, Haley, and Victoria. We were making lunch for everyone when she suddenly came out and said that.

“What?” Victoria asked.

Colleen snorted, “Don’t sound like that, Tori. You heard me, I want to have sex, but I need both of your guy's advice.” she said.

“Are you sure, Col?” Haley asked. “I mean, look at the results of having sex.” she said, waving around her stomach four month stomach.

“Haley, I’m being serious.” Colleen said. “Yes, I’m sure. I’ve been thinking about this for a while now and no, Tristan has not been pressuring me. When we’re kissing, I can’t help but feel so turned on by it and I want to go further, but I was never sure before, but now I do. I want to. But since I don’t have my mom here to talk to, I need your guy’s help since ya’ll already had sex.”

“Okay,” Victoria said, leaning on the counter. “Shoot, ask us anything.”

Colleen put the knife down and turned, “How bad does it hurt down there?”

“Like sand paper is being rubbed down there.” Victoria quickly said. Colleen face turned to horror, Haley gave her a disbelief look and shook her head, and my nose scrunched up at the thought.

“Don’t listen to her,” Haley said. “It hurts, yes. But just make your he goes slow and if it gets to a point where you can’t do it no more, tell him to get out. It’ll hurt a few more times after, but then before you know, it’s like pure heaven.”

“Would I start to cry?” she asked.

“Depends.”, Victoria said. “I didn’t, I was more cursing my head off and letting all the pain Shay gave me onto his back by scratching him.” All of us gave her a disbelief look and she grinned, “What? If I had to be in pain, so did he.”

“Next,” Haley said. “Protection, make sure he wears a glove. Like that saying, no glove, no love. And birth control must be a must!” Haley and Victoria went on and on about having sex for the first time.

I pretty much zoned out as I made grilled cheeses.

{}                

I held a piece of grilled cheese out for Tyler and he took it. He laid down on my side as he ate the piece. I smiled and patted the top of his head. Scott had his arm around me and I laid on his side on the couch. Pretty tight space, but I didn’t mind at all.

We heard running down the stairs and a jump, “Sky, can you take me to the mall?” Jaime asked as he walked over behind the chair Skyler and Haley were at. He crossed his arms over it and leaned down, “I need a ride down there because I’m meeting up with some of the guys and this chick name Sophia. Woo, man, you should see her.”

“Sorry, but I don’t go after middle scholar.” Skyler said in boredom and didn’t take his eyes off the TV. “Go ask dad or mom.”

“They're…busy.” he said, making a face and shudder. “Come on, please. I already told them I’ll be there in twenty. Please, please, please! I think this chick could be the one.”

Skyler rolled his eyes, “School is tomorrow, relax.”

“Pleeeaaassse!” Jaime whined. “Haley, please! Talk to him!”

I raised an eyebrow at how desperate Jaime is sounding right now to see one girl. I mean, I thought it was sweet and cute, but he didn’t need to go that far out.

“Come on, Sky, he’s right.” Haley said. “Even I want to go to the store Baby R Us and see all the cute little shoes they have and see how much everything is that we’ll need so we can start saving up.”

Skyler groaned and threw his head back, “Fine, but if we have to go, all of you do too!”

After getting dressed and cramming into Skyler's jeep, we made our way to the mall that was in the next town over. I left Tyler in the care of Lena.

Scott was behind me as he helped me show the way to go in the arcade. Scott’s hands were on top of mine and he kept quickly turning left or right.

“No, Scott, it’s right there!” I said, showing him where the monsters was. He quickly pressed the blue button to shot the green horn monsters and it died.

Big letters flashed on the screen and said, Winner! Winner!

Fifty tickets came out of the machine and I rounded them all up.

“That should make seven hundred now.” he happily said. “Get five hundred more and I can finally beat Shay's ass.”

“What is it with boys and competition?” I asked, giggling.

“Hey, when we were younger, he beats me out of this blue robot I wanted and he knew it, but of course he cheated and had help from dad. Ever since then it’s been a grudge.” he said.

“A blue robot, really?” I questioned, raising an eyebrow

“The eyes lit up like a flash light!” he defended himself.

“Oh, okay,” I sarcastically said as I nodded. “What are you, seven?”

“No, eight.” he said before slamming his lips down on mine. I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck as his arms went around my waist. Jeez, I couldn’t get enough of his kisses.

He pressed my back against the game and I groaned in pain when the control hit my back. He pulled back and gave me an apologetic look, “Sorry,” he said as he pecked me.

I smiled, “It’s okay, it didn’t hurt that much.” I said, leaning up and kissed him.

He ran one of his hands threw my hair and I was aware we were in a public place kissing with kids and other teenagers were around and but I like kissing him.

We heard someone clear their throat and Scott lifted his head up and turned his head around. I turned my head to the side and saw Mina and her little wanna-bees.

“There’s children around.” she said, even though I knew if she was in my position, she wouldn’t give a rat’s ass. She flipped her hair back. “Scott, can I talk to you for a second?”

My hands clenched Scott’s jean jacket, not liking the idea of Scott being alone with Mina. I hated how I got jealous of the thought.

“About?” he asked.

Mina looked at me nastily before turning back at him, “Like I said, alone. Please,”

Scott sighed and ran his hand down his face. “Yeah, sure, I guess.” He pecked me one more time, but before he could step back, I pulled him back and shook my head. “It’s just a moment,” he said, kissing the tip of my nose before turning around and fallowed Mina out of the arcade.

I leaned back against the game with my arms crossed my chest. I felt Mina’s wanna-bees eyes on me and I looked at them and saw their look like they were disgusted. I rolled my eyes and ignored them, keeping my eyes on Scott and Mina.

Scott:

We stopped at the entrance of the arcade room and I looked down at Mina, “What do you want?”

“To make you understand you’re mistaken about being with Abigail.” she said and looked at me like I was crazy.

I snorted, “Nothing you can say will make me listen to you about her.” I said. “Listen, Mina, I’m going to say this nicely as I can: I do not want to be with you, I love Abigail. I would like to be friends though.” I said, but I’m pretty sure I lied about the last part. I don’t think I can be friends with someone as crazy as her.

I turned to go back in, but she grabbed my arm and turned me back to her, “Scott, please, I have been in love with you since seventh grade.” she said, her eyes looking sad. “And I will not let some broken low class little bitch take what should have been mine.”

My eyes darken at her comment about Abigail being a broken class bitch and it almost made me shift right here, but I kept my cool the best I can. I held my finger up to her face. “Mina, I swear to god, ever speak about Abigail like that and I don’t hit girls, but I won't hesitate to get Abigail to kick your ass again. Leave me alone and get over your stupid crush and obsession.”

“Please, Scott, I love you.” she pleaded with me. “If you just give me a chance, I promise I’ll make you really happy.” she said, taking a step closer to me where her body was practically touching mine. I put my hands on her shoulder and pushed her back, but she fought back by stepping back.

“Mina, stop—”

She put her hands on each sides of my neck, “Just one kiss,” she said before slamming her lips down on mine.

Abigail:

I straightened up when I saw Mina put her to sticky glossy lips on Scott! At first I gasp, in complete shock. Then a fire burned in me and I was not just going to stand here and be upset!

I wasn’t going to be one of those girls in those stupid romance novels or movie where the girl runs away. No, I’m going to punch the living day lights out of Mina for kissing Scott!

I started my way towards them. “Take your nasty cover lip gloss lips,” I started and I heard Mina’s wanna-bees gasp and Mina pulled back and looked at me in shock as I was only inches away from her, “Off my boyfriend.” I said before punching her across the face. “You stupid little tramp!” I yelled and Scott wrapped his arms around me, holding me back.

“Why are you trying!?” I screamed as I tried getting out of Scott’s arms. It was one thing to think I’m muted and shit, but it was a whole another thing if she places her lips on what’s mine! Mina stared up at me in complete shock as she placed her hand over her cheek I hit. “What? Do you have too much hair spray in that mess you call hair and no sense of logic gets in that head of yours? Here it is! Scott doesn’t want you, he’ll never want you, he can’t stand you! So leave my boyfriend alone!”

Scott covered my mouth with his hand, “Okay, time to go.” he said, dragging me out of the mall.

When we got outside, he finally let go of me and I breathed out my nose heavily, trying to calm myself. Ugh, Mina pushed my buttons over the edge and she’s lucky Scott was there again to hold me back or I would have beat her ass again! Her nose is still broken, is she trying to get her teeth knock out this time!?

I paced back and forth, “Who does she think she is?” I said loudly. “Jeez, I have never felt this angry before.” I said to myself as I ran one of my hands threw my hair.

The door to the mall slammed opened and Mina walked out. “You little bitch! He’s mine!” she yelled before punching me across the face.

I cried in pain, but I wasn’t about to cry. I grew up learning how to be tough and defend myself from others. I couldn’t do that with my dad because he was always bigger, but Mina is all nothing but hundred and ten pounds of bones. I grabbed a hold of her hair and she did the same things.

This is some major déjà vu right now.

I felt someone come in between us and I smelt Scott’s cologne, “Stop it!” he yelled. He held me back when I went to punch her, “Abby, stop!”

“You better watch your back, bitch!” Mina yelled.

“And I’ll be ready!” I yelled back. “And that time Scott won’t be here to hold me back!”

“Stop!” Scott yelled. “Mina, leave us alone! Go home! And if you ever kiss me again, just like Abigail said, I won’t hold her back!”

“You know what, Scott! Fuck you!” Mina yelled, stepping back. “If you’re going to pick someone like her over me, someone who can make your dreams come true and give you everything you always wanted, fine! Fuck you!” she said, walking into the parking lot over to a sliver car.

I breathed out my nose heavily as I watched her. Scott put his hands on my shoulders and I jerked, feeling myself tensed and worked up.

I hit his chest and he gave me a shock look. “What was that for?”

“Not taking her off quickly enough.” I said before leaning up and kissed him hard. I didn’t like the idea of Mina’s nasty germs on him. He pressed my body up against him and I took out off my anger by kissing him.

“I don’t think we should go back in there.” Scott said when he pulled away. “I think you’re going to be kicked out if we do.” he chuckled.

I brought my arms up around his neck and kissed him. His arms went around me my waist tightly and I felt safe in a way. Something about being in Scott’s arms made me feel safe and I knew getting into a fight with Mina was a bad idea, but I guess I’m like my father a little bit. When we’re angry, we have to take our frustration out.

I took mine out on Mina.

Haley was showing me some stuff they had got from the mall when Scott took my hand and we walked up the steps of his house front porch. He opened the door for me and I went in, feeling everyone eyes on me. I looked at the couch when I felt a pair of eyes and was taken back to find my father sitting at the couch next to Scott’s dad. He looked right back at me emotionless as he got up from the seat.

I heard Scott growl from behind me.
