MELISSA

YEAH, YEAH, SHE’S TOO old for the swings, but swinging feels good. She’s loose and happy and far, far away from here. Somewhere better, like Disney World. Or a desert island.

“What's your name?”

Her feet hit concrete. The swing jerks to a stop. There’s a girl about her age straddling the other swing. She’s snapping gum and her hair is plum. And – of course – she’s wearing shitloads more makeup than Melissa.

It’s not fair.

Mom would flip if she wore that much makeup.

“Who wants to know?” Melissa asks.

The girl pops a sticky bubble. “Olivia.”

“Melissa Tyler. You don’t sound Greek.”

“Canadian.”

“Cool. American.”

“Cool.” Olivia nods at her wrist. “What happened? Your wrist looks all weird, like the time I fell off the roof and broke my ulna. It hurt like a fucking bitch.”

Mom is going to hate her.

“It’s nothing. Just a cut.”

They both start swinging. “Are you in school?”

“Not yet,” Melissa says. “Are you?”

“Negative. Do you have a boyfriend? Mine is pretty hot, but he only calls when he wants a blowjob. It sucks. I’m dumping him tomorrow.”

Melissa can feel herself going all red. “We only just got here but I guess I'll be going to school in the fall.”

“So that’s a “No” on the boyfriend then?”

“Nope.”

“Shit. We need to find us a couple so we can double date. What do you like? Blond? Tall? Older men? You don't want to go younger, trust me.”

“Why not?”

“Because you want someone experienced, not a little boy.”

Melissa’s suddenly full up with hot and cold butterflies. She’s a virgin, and it’s been forever since she kissed anyone. Not since Matt Riley took her behind the garden shed at his fourteenth birthday party.

“But not too old,” Olivia continues. “Anything past twenty is way geriatric. I'd be surprised if a guy could even get it up without porn and a fistful of Viagra after twenty-one. Although, I suppose we had to come from somewhere, right? I mean it's not like our parents were teenagers when they did it with each other.”

Melissa can’t help thinking about her folks. They weren’t much older when she was born. “My parents are separated. What about yours?”

Olivia shrugs, the tops of her shoes grazing the concrete as she slows the swing.

“Sure, I mean they live together. But you should hear them fight. We've been here for three months and they argue every single night. Dad yells, Mom screams. Dad walks out, and Mom goes to sleep crying. By the time I go down for breakfast they're pretending it never happened. I wish they'd just be honest and admit they're screwing other people.”

“My dad was screwing someone else.”

“Did you ever see her?”

“Him. Yeah.”

Olivia whistles. “Wow, your dad was screwing another man?”

“Yeah.” It’s weird the way she’s almost proud of having something scandalous to share.

“Is he gay?”

“Duh, he had sex with a man. That totally means he's gay.”

“Maybe he’s bi. Lots of people are.”

Going both ways seems to be trendy, these days. Girls kissing girls to get a guy’s interest. Yeah, there are the kids who genuinely want both, but in high school they’re overshadowed by the girls who like putting on a show.
