Joanie needs a date to the senior prom
**
There were a lot of traditions involved with our high school's senior prom. I suppose maybe there are with lots of high school senior proms, but I know only about mine. Our country high school was small, with around 250 students, for grades 9 --12. My senior class had 60 students, and the gender balance was a bit off, with 25 boys and 35 girls. Needless to say, every girl needed a date for the senior prom.
Twenty of the boys had steady girlfriends, and if they valued their heads, and their balls, they were taking their own girlfriend to the senior prom. The remaining five boys had their pick of the rest of us, and we were 15 girls. Ten girls were to be left out. I wasn't particularly worried, because I had Jake. Jake and I had been best friends since elementary school, soul mates, really, and Jake was one of the five without a steady girlfriend. I knew, I just knew, he was going to ask me to the prom.
There was, of course, a complication. The tradition at our high school was that the girls would put out for the guys. This was not a big problem because the twenty girls with steady boyfriends were already putting out for them. Sally, for one, had put out for quite a few of them, by my count. I relied, mind you, on strictly reliable gossip.
It was three weeks until prom and still nobody had asked me. I knew why: Patty and I were the last remaining virgins in the senior class, and no guy probably wanted to take the chance that we would refuse to put out. It wasn't true, I'd put out for any guy who asked me, just to avoid the shame of going dateless the night of the senior prom. Patty felt the same way. Maybe the guys just didn't know that.
Then Jake was picked off. The slut Marybeth had given him a blowjob behind the woodshop building, on the condition she'd be his date. Jake had pointed out that meant she'd have to fuck him after the prom, and after castigating him for being crude, she said, "I believe in traditions, Jake."
My ace in the hole had gone up in smoke. There were only two boys left without dates, Billy, and Billy Bob, and rumors were rife they were both gay, and maybe were going with each other. I was totally screwed, and destined not to be screwed. Melissa and I got together to give each other sympathy.
"You know, there's always Big Mike," Melissa said. Big Mike had already graduated, and he worked at Joe's Garage, over at Joe's Food and Gas, the unfortunately named diner and service station on the State Highway that ran through town.
"I can't possibly go with a grease monkey," I sniffed. "He's all yours."
"Hey, thanks! Betty Smith went with him last year and she said he's great in bed! Good way to have my cherry popped. You're an angel, Joanie," Melissa said. Melissa had already lost her cherry several times, by my count, but I let her own fantasies go undisturbed.
"Don't mention it," I said, now feeling doubly sorry for myself. I needed a miracle. Miracles don't often arrive in Appalachia. I needed to make my own miracle. I borrowed my father's truck and drove five towns over to Cousin Eric's place. I was not about to give my virginity to my cousin, although there was plenty of precedence for that even in my own high school class, and not just with cousins but also with fathers and brothers, but maybe Eric had a friend?
I gave Eric the whole story. I left nothing out.
"Let me get this straight: whoever takes you to prom gets to pop your cherry during the after-party at Sally's place?" he asked.
"Yeah. It'll be an orgy with over fifty high school seniors getting it on," I replied.
"Do the girls get passed around?" Eric asked.
"Eric Williams! Shame on you!" calming down, I reflected and said, "I shouldn't think so. Most of the girls have steady boyfriends. They wouldn't cheat on them, at least, not right in front of them. Maybe behind their backs, but not right there, in front of them!" I said. "Truly, Eric, I don't know what goes on at these things, or what's expected, or what will happen in actuality."
"You're really pretty, Joanie. How come you're both a virgin and don't have a date?" Eric asked.
"I've never been interested in sex, until recently. I guess boys could sense that. There's a lot of pretty girls in my high school, and lots of sexy ones, too," I said. "I just got overlooked."
"Even by Jake? You were always sweet on him," Eric said.
I began to cry. "Yes, even by Jake," and then I began to sob.
"I'll take you, Joanie. I've always had a thing for you, you know," Eric said.
"Eric, you're my first cousin. You can take me, but I'll be the only girl not having sex at the after party," I said. "Thanks for offering, though. You're really sweet."
"Look, Joanie, nobody knows we're cousins. I'll just be your mystery date. Remember when you went to the lake last summer, and you were bored out of your mind?" Eric asked.
"Don't remind me!" I said. "I didn't know a soul there. It was aw....oh!" I said.
"Exactly. We say that you met me there, we fell in love, and you've been keeping me under wraps for fear of Melissa or one of your other little friends stealing me. I'll be all over you at the prom, and fuck you silly at the after party. All your little friends will be jealous. Maybe I'll fuck some of them, too, if the party gets wild," Eric said.
"You don't mind that we're first cousins?" I asked.
"Nope! You have no idea how much I want to fuck you, Joanie! How about you? Do you mind?"
"Not at all," I said. "You're quite handsome, you know, and besides, I've always loved you and Mark." Mark is Eric's older brother.
"Say, since you came all the way out here, want to start now? Get some practice in, before the big show?" Eric asked.
"Tempting, but no. I wouldn't mind a kiss, however," I said.
"A kiss and a blowjob?" Eric asked. I thought about how Marybeth had locked in Jake via a blowjob. I'd never given a guy one, but maybe it was time to learn. Every other senior girl, even Patty, had already mastered the art of blowjobs. Maybe it was time for me to learn, too?
