Chapter Twenty-Nine

-Kennedy-

Have you ever had one of those moments in your life where you wish you would’ve reacted differently? Maybe you would have yelled louder or fought harder. Maybe you wouldn’t have held back the tears that are threatening to pool over in your eyes or maybe you would have jumped over a crowd of your peers and ripped a dumb girls platinum hair straight out of her head. Ugh…where did that come from?

That’s what I should have done. That’s what I wanted to do, but because I’m me I bit back the urge. Instead I threw it back in Graham’s face by blatantly flirting with Craig in front of him. It was childish. I just never thought that it would cause such harm.

Clearly, I was wrong.

Using Craig to get back at Graham was the wrong thing to do in the beginning. I knew that now. I liked the way Graham’s face twisted with rage when I winked at Craig after the game or ran my hand down his chest showing him a hint of attention. It was unlikely behavior for me. I felt comfortable being like that with Graham, but with anyone else it felt too foreign, too forced.

Right after that girl, who shall not be named from this point on except by her true name “Skank”, admitted to a crowd of people her and Graham’s dirty little secret I turned the flirting on overdrive. The plan was flawed from the beginning.

Being bitter and infuriated, just plain old frustrated is what got me in this mess. A handful of shots that could take down a stocky teenage boy, a six pack of beer and nearly three watermelon Jell-O shots is why I’m staring up at a blank white ceiling with a fan slowly circling around overhead hypnotizing me into a trance. I’m just staring at this fan attempting at my best to forget the way I feel right now.

This is how most high school girls get over heartache, right? Violet said it best freshman year, to get over someone you have to get under someone else. I know, I know. She’s super “philosophical” and all that, but at the time it sort of made sense. That theory doesn’t really work for me though because I’ve never been underneath anyone in the biblical sense at least. Oh well.

I’m lying here listening to the wind break through the window from the lake with the sound of heavy panting from Craig who is now attempting to mount me. I begin to realize that Violet was wrong. Oh boy was she wrong and it didn’t take me more than a few minutes of making out with a horny teenage boy to come to that conclusion.

“Craig, you need to slow down,” I demand pushing on his right shoulder to try to coax his heavy body from on top of me. His hand is up my top trying to unhook my bra unsuccessfully. Thankfully he listens, sitting up next to me.

“What’s wrong?” he pants out in between breaths annoyed by my persistence to halt him stealing my virtue.
