"Tori, Tori!"

I look up to see Cat racing to our lunch table and internally sigh. It was so peaceful with just me and my French fries. But, conversations with Cat are always interesting so why don't we give this one a try? "Yes, Cat?"

The utter joy on her face kinda scares me. When Cat's this happy, be prepared to have a crazy day. "I looked it up! There are condoms for girls, the teacher was wrong!"

I can't restrain myself from face palming, already expecting the next sentence that comes out of her mouth. "So, Tor-Tor. Why would you want to use something like that? Just putting it...in sounds icky."

"Well, you see, Cat. I—" My nervous explanation is cut off by Jade joining us at the table, saving me from further embarrassment. Or so I thought.

"So what're we talking about?"

Cat perks up immediately. "The atrocity of female condoms."

Jade gasps. "Cat. You said atrocity. It's such a big word for you."

I slap her arm. "Don't be mean."

Cat shrugs off Jade's comment, most likely not understanding it was supposed to be an insult, and continues her line of questioning. "Toro, you haven't answered my question. Why do you need a female condom in your lady bits?"

Jade spits out her water and starts cackling. At that moment, Beck slumps into the seat next to Jade. He shoots her a curious glance and looks over to me. My face is burning with embarrassment but I answer his silent inquisition. "Cat's wondering why I need female condoms." I send him a pointed look but he doesn't get my message.

He looks over at Cat and fixes her with the bluntest stare I've ever seen him have. "Tori doesn't need female condoms. She has a dick."

Cat's eyebrows furrow as Jade's laughing intensifies. "She does?"

Beck nods his head. Cat turns to me. "Can I see it?"

I didn't think it was possible, but my blush deepened. Jade and I answer in unison. "No!"

I look at Jade curiously. I know why I said no, but her? Jade actually gets flustered when she realizes what she said. She clears her throat and gets up to leave. "I forgot. I have a 10:30 appointment with Burk and a pair of scissors. Fucking peeping tom..."

I watch as she stalks away, wondering why she's so concerned with my penis. I don't notice Beck tapping my shoulder until Cat yells my name. I snap my head towards the two other people left at the table. "Huh?"

Beck raises an eyebrow. "We were asking if you're going to Andre's party tonight but you were too distracted with Jade's ass to be listening."

Is that where my eyes were? Oops. "Yeah, I'm going. How about you two?"

Both of them nod their heads. Beck has a wistful smile on his face. "I have a feeling that tonight's gonna be fun."

I wonder what he's talking about. Cat looks down at her phone and suddenly giggles, jumping up from her seat. Beck looks at her questioningly. Cat grabs her stuff before explaining herself. "I have to go. Sam's picking me up so we can try out some female condoms."

Beck and I stare at her as she bounds away. "I feel sorry for their neighbors."

...

I let out an exhausted sigh as I exit the school. Thank god it's finally over. I make my way to Trina's car but turn around when I hear someone call my name. "Hey, Vega! Commere."

I hesitantly make my way over to Jade. "What do you need?"

Jade rolls her eyes. "I don't need anything. When I want something, I demand it and I get it. What I'm demanding now is that you get into my car. I'm driving you to Andre's party."

I nervously take a step away from her. "This isn't going to be another desert incident, is it?"

Jade puts on a fake smile and grabs my hand. Electricity shoots through my body at her touch. "No. I'm doing this out of the kindness of my heart."

Even though every instinct in me is telling me to say no, I say yes. "Sure. But we've got a few hours to kill before the party starts. Why don't we go to my house?"

The evil grin makes it's way back onto her face as she drags me into her car. Awww, man. What have I gotten myself into?
