"Mother-fucker," I muttered. "Why the FUCK do you do this to me, Lahna? I try so Goddamned hard to please you... everything I do is for you. You do or say nothing back. Why?" The buzz of an angry girl's voice rings through the earpiece on the telephone. "Yeah well FUCK YOU TOO! I'm tired of this, of you, of our engagement! It's OVER! Peace." I hung up the phone, jovial at the fact that I was finally able to dump the bitch. I leaned back in my chair, pulled a Camel wide out of the pack and lit it up. Smoke curled from the tip of the cigarette and then from my lips and nose. I was stressed. I had just turned 19, and was about to graduate from High school. Emotions were running high, and I needed to get laid. Alas, not tonight, however. It would take time. Who knew how long? Or with who? And most important, HOW? All these questions troubled me through a pack and a half of Camels, and a joint, and a couple shots of Two Finger's Gold Tequila I jacked from my dad's bottle. "Mother fucker," I sighed, exhaling sweet smoke. I drifted to sleep, the last cigarette burning away in my hand.
A couple weeks later, I was at lunch, watching the freshman stoners try and smoke a joint in the courtyard at U.S. Grant High. High. Fitting that they call them High schools. Everyone's High... oh, well. That's another story. On the other side of the closely bunched circle of dumb ass pot smokers was a girl. Imagine... 18 years old High school senior, 5'3". 120 lbs., maybe. 34 c. Red, black and dark brown hair that brushed the top of the swell that became her sweet, young breasts. Jessica. I'd wanted her the whole 3 years I went to Grant. She was always out of my league, sort of like a supermodel, the kind you fantasize about, maybe jack off to a memory of seeing them straightening their bras. But hardly ever do you talk to them. I decided. I needed to get laid and it wouldn't hurt. I casually strolled around the circle, smelled the sweet smoke I so closely knew, and right up to Jessica. "Dumb asses, " I muttered to no one in particular, hoping Jessica would hear me. "Don't they know that mother-fucking teachers watch through the windows? They are going to get caught and I'm going to laugh."
"I know. If they want to smoke weed, shit, do it after school and at parties. You must be STUPID to smoke weed OUTSIDE at LUNCH. Now fucking, on the other hand⦠THAT sounds like a bit of fun," she said, licking her lips. Her voice... more beautiful than I had imagined. So refined, sexy. It had that slight scratchiness that told me she drank, smoked, and screamed her perfect ass off during sex. And the best part... She had been talking to ME. Those social 75,000 miles between us had just shortened considerably.
"Oh, really? You've fucked someone out here?"
"Well, no, but it sounds like it would be worth it. Especially now. I'm horny as hell." My attention sprang to life.
"Horny? Really, now?"
"Yeah, I am. My boyfriend and I haven't had the chance in over 3 months."
"Boyfriend? Oh. Well good luck with him. It's been like a year or more for me. And I'm single." I just blurted that line out as a last desperate attempt to spark her interest. But when she said "boyfriend," the social distance bounced up to at least 30,000 miles...
