Raising my hand in the air, I flip the three of them off and walk to my first class, ignoring everyone around me.
Ugh…lunch.
It’s too bad Grady and I don’t have the same lunch period. I would’ve happily sat with him. Instead, I’m once again staring at my three former best friends and the very disgruntled girlfriend of one.
God, Britney really seems to have it out for me. I’ve done nothing but show up here. I haven’t attempted to take her man away and have no intentions of doing so either. But if she’s gonna go all classic mean girl, I’ll have to make sure she doesn’t mess with me.
I sit down with people I’ve seen in some of my classes. Today they don’t move away, so that’s a good start.
“Hey, I’m Mila.” I decide to play the new kid and attempt to make a few new friends—hopefully non-asshole ones.
“I’m Sadie. We have World History together.”
I smile over at the girl opposite me, who has a genuine smile on her face. She has purple hair too. Looks wicked. “It’s nice to meet you, Sadie,” I say around a mouthful of fries.
“This is Cadence.” She gestures to the red-haired girl beside her.
The color isn’t natural, but it’s gorgeous. I’ve never attempted to dye my hair. It’s such a light blonde, I’m worried I’ll hate the color and won’t be able to get my natural hair back. A hairdresser told me once that I would need to be one hundred percent confident if I tried color it, as my hair will si=uck that colour it and I wont be able to go back.
“Is it true that you—”
I put my hand up quickly to stop the rest of Cadence’s question. “If it’s about sleeping with anyone, it’s not true.”
She nods and then looks over to the football table. “Sorry, I just always wanted to know what Hunter looks like naked.”
I almost spit my food across the table. Both girls raise their brows at me as they started laughing.
“Sorry, Cadence doesn’t have a filter sometimes,” Sadie says around her giggles.
Shaking my head, I laugh with them. “Nope, I get it. He is hot…a hot asshole. But I get it. I have seen him naked, though.”
Cadence and Sadie swing their heads back to me and move in closer, wanting to know more.
“Seriously? Was he, like, big?”
I laugh again. “He was eight, and I screamed. His mom came running in like someone had been murdered.”
I like sleepovers with Hunter, because his mom has a big bathtub. Every time I stay over, she fills it with bubbles, and it’s the best. Then, she brushes my hair, but I don’t need that today. I’m big enough to brush it myself.
I put my warm pjs on and grab my hairbrush out of the bag Daddy packed for me. I haven’t seen Hunter. He’s probably getting ready in the other bathroom. So, I go back to the one with the big bath.
Hunter is standing naked in the middle of the room.
I can see his penis and his balls. I scream at the top of my lungs because I don’t know what to do. He screams too and hides himself behind his hands. But it’s too late. I saw it all. My hands fly to my eyes, and I try to unsee it. But I can’t.
Boys’ parts are so weird. I know they have different parts to girls, but it’s so freaky how they hang there. I haven’t even seen Jace’s parts, and we sleep over a lot.
“What’s happened, what’s going on…oh, god.”
I open my eyes, and Hunter’s mom freezes in the doorway when she sees us. She gasps and grabs us both by our arms and takes us back to Hunter’s room. She then looks at Hunter and shakes her head. “Mila, love, let’s wait outside for Hunter to change.”
My dad and Hunter’s mom, Angela talk for a while the next day, and afterward, Dad talks to me about sex. He tells me that boys have a penis and girls have a vagina, and together they make a baby. I have soooo many questions on how, and why.
I have to promise Dad I’ll keep what I know a secret. I’m not allowed to tell anyone, because it isn’t my job to do so. Only their parents tell them when it’s right and they’re old enough. That’s a secret I have no issues keeping.
“That’s so weird that you knew them before…like, before they were popular,” Cadence says.
I hadn’t thought of it that way. It’s not weird to me. But, looking back, maybe it was weird that I was the only girl in the group back then. I never had other girl friends to go out with or ask to stay over. It was only the guys.
Over the rest of lunch, we talk about New York, clothes, and the new season of Stranger Things.
The bell rings, and we all get up.
“Same time tomorrow?” Sadie asks.
“Sounds great to me.”
