after-school special
the first time i saw a penis belonged to brian f. at the time i had a crush on him and to this day i still have no idea how i ended up in that bathroom at my friends'' new years eve party with him, but i did... and what seemed sudden and out of the blue, he unzipped his pants to show me his weiner. i sat and stared for what seemed like forever, it was as though i had just seen a car crash with peoples' heads having just gotten decaptiated before my very eyes- that was the utter shock i was experiencing. so many racing thoughts: how do you have sex?! how do you have a baby!?!?! OH MY GOD i never want to have sex, ever. this was also the first time i had drank alcohol. and with a huge smile on his face and bud light bottle in hand with it all hanging out he said, "i showed you mine, now you show me yours!" it was like a bad after school special and had been quite sheltered. i was 16. sitting in this bathroom, so small, not even a shower, it truly just had a toilet and sink, terrified of being "date" raped from my "friend" just like mom warned me of all those years. without skipping a beat i got up, unlocked the door and flew out of there. his drunken bobble head followed where i was going with a very confused look on his face as i ran. i ran for safety.
did i mention this was the first time i'd drank alcohol. jack daniels down home punch country coolers. and i was drunk.
