Jameson (Face-Off 4)

“You’re such a prude,” I counter. “And for someone so prudish, I can’t believe you want to give up your V card at a football party.”

She shrugs, her eyes focused on the game in front of us. “It’s an important night for Clay, and this is an important night for me. I don’t know. I just thought it would make it special for us.”

“I don’t know how special it will be with music thumping through the house and drunk people humping each other’s legs in the living room.”

Jessica rolls her eyes at me. “Easy for you to say. Bash made your first time something from a fairy tale.”

I can’t deny it. Bash went all out, made me believe he was my Prince Charming. Turns out he was more like a toad.

“But look what he did after. That’s all that matters anymore.”

Jessica doesn’t respond because she knows the story better than anyone. It’s a shame Bash has his own version. That’s the story everyone on campus heard. It’s also the story that turned him into a legendary ladies man. And made me an outcast.

As much as I’d love to use the pulse throbbing in my head as an excuse to go back to the dorm, eat junk food, and binge watch Netflix, I have to support my friend. So, I have no choice but to suck it up and deal with Bash and his stupid friends. It’s only a few hours. How much damage can he do?
