She lets out a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness.”

“I’m so glad you’re relieved.” My voice lacks enthusiasm.

“Oh, V, I didn’t mean it like that.” She reaches out and grabs my arm. “I’ve been worried since the whole Voldemort thing.”

I burst out laughing. “Voldemort?”

“Yeah, you know, fromHarry Potter.He who shall not be named. Evil as fuck.”

At this point, I’m bent over laughing so hard I can hardly breath. “You….” I try again. “You call Sterling…” Crossing my legs to keep all my fluids in, I finish my sentence. “Voldemort?”

She joins me in laughing while shrugging.

After we calm down, I give her a hug. “I’m good, S. Thank you for worrying, but I’m fine. I will continue to be fine. I’m focused on school and will worry about that part of my life later.”

“All right, but I get veto power on the next asshole you date.” She shoots me a “you know what I mean” look.

“Sure. Why not? It’s not like you didn’t end up shacking up with the biggest asshole of all,” I deadpan.

That sets off another laughing bout.

Day 62

I finally see light again.

???

Rebecca Horne, senior, pale white with bleached blonde hair.

Rebecca looks as fake as she sounds. I swear that both her breasts and nose are fake. Unfortunately, on paper she looked perfect.

I let the girls choose where we meet so they’re more comfortable.

Rebecca chose her house, next to her pool, with a pool boy serving us drinks. Alcoholic drinks.

“So, Rebecca, are you a virgin?” I’ve wanted to ask this all afternoon. As judgmental as it sounds, I can’t believe someone like her is still intact.

“Of course I am. Daddy demands it. He says the only way I will land me a rich one is if I keep my virginity intact. Actually, he’s hoping that, by being chosen, I will find him. He says a virgin boy gets attached to his first. So, once I fuck this kid, he will be eating out of my palm.”

I cringe, this girl is not the right one. Instead of getting up and leaving, I give her a fair shot though.

“I see. So, you’re saving yourself?”

“Well, I mean I’ve sucked cock. Who hasn’t right? Plus, anal doesn’t count, and it doesn’t hurt like most people think. As long as you stay relaxed, it can actually feel quite good. You should try it sometime.”

I try not to gag at the images she conjured. “How many times have you done that?”

She giggles. “At least five times now. Only if I can’t get what I want with my mouth. You know how it is.”

I most certainly don’t.

“Sure. Yeah.” I look away from her, horrified by how unbothered she is by this. “What makes you do it?”

I don’t know why I ask it, but I know the answer I get is what I expected.

“For the money of course. Oh shit, that isn’t how it sounds. I’m not a prostitute. I know that’s the way it sounds, but women like us who are attractive should use every tool we have. Especially our bodies. You can legit get anything you want from a man if you know how to use your body right. I haven’t even touched a dime of my dad’s money since I was fifteen. I save all of that in case something happens. Instead, I use the boys at our school. You don’t realize how dumb they can be. Or maybe you do. Didn’t you date Sterling Brooks for a while?”

At the mention of his name, I tense. “No. We never dated.”
