Chris's Story

June 2023

Graduation was only two days away and Chris was in a whirlwind of emotions. He thought that he was going to miss going to school as a part of his every day routine. He knew that he was going to miss certain friends from both his grade and from grades below his. He wouldn't have to worry about no longer being in the same place as his younger siblings since he saw them every day. His cousins would also be attending school without him but he wouldn't be about to miss them.

At the same time he was excited and more than ready to leave high school behind. This was the final summer before he would go off to college. He was finally becoming an adult in his mind. High school was one stage of his life that was coming to an end; it was what he had been working for. However he felt that his passage into adulthood was only half over. He thought that most people his age, even some younger, had lost their virginity. This included his brothers Cole and Corey. Knowing this about them made him feel left out.

Chris had been hanging around with Cole at the skate park every day since they had got out of school. He wasn't as much into skating as Cole was but he still enjoyed it. But most of the time he would stand back and watch Cole skate and record it in his notebook. This was a new hobby of his to jot down certain "events" around the skate park and even around their personal skate ramp at home and then turning these into mock news articles. On this day Chris found himself staying away from writing about Cole and his skating and then he began writing more about other people who were there at the park. This one person in particular caught his attention. While he was paying attention to this person he had forgotten all about Cole.

He went over towards her once she stopped skating. He recognized her from the year before. She actually was a couple years older than him having repeated a grade. She happened to have a certain reputation around the school as a girl who was linked with just about any guy in school that one could think of. Most of these links were untrue, or so she has said, but the truth of other links was still uncertain and she certainly was not speaking about them. Chris smirked a little once he knew who she was. That smirk remained upon his face as he approached her.

"Hey, um, Kristen?"

She looked up at him "It's Kirsten actually." She grinned

"Well I was close." He grinned "Funny running into you here."

"Yeah I guess so. Excuse me for sounding rude but who are you?"

Chris laughed "I'm Chris Novak. I, uh, I was a grade below you. Maybe you've seen me around."

She nodded with a slight smirk "Cole Novak's twin brother, right?"

"Triplet actually."

"Oh! Oh yeah. I usually forget about Corey."

"Yeah he tends to go off on his own. We don't see him a whole lot any more."

"Oh shame. Well nice to see you, Chris."

"Yeah nice to see you." He smiled

The two of them continued talking for a while. Soon Chris had forgotten all about Cole and he didn't even realize that he had been left there at the skate park. Kirsten even happily allowed him to document her every move on her skateboard in his notebook. He was going to write a special article about her and was going to make her a copy. Kirsten wound up taking him home. As soon as he stepped in through the door, Jade went up to him with a smirk upon her face.

"What?" He asked

"So who's this girl that Cole says you been spending time with at the skate park?"

"Just some girl. No big deal."

"She gave you a ride home, didn't she?"

"Um yeah. So?"

"It's just been a while since either of us have seen you with a girl."

"It's no big deal." He shrugged and walled past her

Chris acted as though the time he spent with Kirsten really wasn't a big deal like he had said. But the truth of the matter was he couldn't get her or the time they spent together off of his mind. He didn't feel as though he was smitten with her; he just felt good to know that someone like her was around.

The next day there was going to be a big party that the triplets were very excited about. This was officially the last party that they would attend as high school students and the official first party of the summer. Chris didn't expect that she would be there but he had invited Kirsten to meet him there. He had to admit to himself as he got ready for the party that he was more excited about the possibility to see her than he thought he would be. He even fixed his hair just right, picked out the perfect outfit and put on just enough cologne for the occasion. Cole and Corey picked on the fact that he had taken a long time to get ready, primping and perfecting his over all look.

"Looks like someone has one hot date. Huh Cor?"

"Yeah sure does seem that way." Corey smirked right along with Cole "Who is she, Chris?"

"Who is who?"

"This girl you're obviously getting ready for." Cole stated. He paused briefly "It's Kirsten isn't it?"

"It's no one. Can't a guy just make himself look good for a party if he wants to?"

"Sure. But you've never put in this much time and effort on yourself if a girl wasn't involved."

Chris shrugged his shoulders "I wanted to look good for the party. Big fucking deal."

"Mmmhmm." Cole and Corey replied in unison with matching smirks

"Whatever." Chris started to head downstairs "Let's just go to the party all ready."

This party was better than the triplets or anyone else could imagine. Corey met up with Mark and the two of them spent the entire night at each other's side mingling with everyone else. Cole would have had a date at the party but his girlfriend was away in a different country. He found it very easy to stay faithful to Aila no matter how far apart they were. Chris hung around many girls, having an equal amount of fun with each of them. But at the same time he had a particular girl on his mind.

With a beer in his hand Chris made his way through the crowd of people. He nearly spilled his beer after running into the back of someone.

"Oh sorry." He apologized

"It's ok. No damage done. Besides I've been running into people all night." She turned to smile at him

"Kirsten!" He said, not realizing how excited he would get once he saw her "I thought you weren't going to show up."

"I've been here for a while. Kind of blending in with the crowd I guess."

"Yeah." He chuckled "That's easy to do at a party like this." He paused to look at her up and down with a grin "You look nice."

"Thanks. So do you."

Chris realized that he couldn't have been happier to have run into Kirsten. The two of them hung out together for the rest of the party. At one point Kirsten had drug Chris to a secluded and empty room to get away from everyone else. It didn't take a genius to figure out why she had pulled him into that room where they could be alone. The moment that the door closed they began to paw at each other and drown each other in feverishly passionate kisses. Their clothes were quickly stripped and tossed about the room as they made their way over to the nearest piece of furniture, which happened to be a bed. In the midst of their deep and fervent kisses they tumbled about each other on the bed.

Hours later Chris snuck into the house as quietly as possible and headed up to his bedroom. Just like he had hoped Cole and Corey were all ready asleep. He crept into his bed after only taking off his shoes and his pants. There was a satisfied grin upon his mouth as he lay there gazing into the darkness. He knew that it was going to take him a while to fall asleep but he didn't care. The next day was graduation and after what he had experienced at the party he couldn't be any happier. He had lost his virginity and already he was feeling different about himself. He knew that from now on his life was going to be different and he was more than happy to embrace it.
