Fast Times at Hillridge High

Okay, this is where the story turns PG-13, so for those who are faint of heart, don't read if you get upset over little things:)

"""------------------------------"""

MIRANDA'S POV

So far, high school has been pretty much okay for me. I mean, I'm sure anyone else would say that it had been great for me. I mean, I get a lot of attention from guys now. That used to be all I'd pray for in middle school. Well, that and bigger boobs. But now, I don't care about either of those things, really. I finally developed, and although I don't have a huge chest like Parker McKenzie does, they're okay. In middle school, I mainly prayed for one guy to notice me, and that was Ethan Craft. Now more than one guy has noticed me, and even Ethan did. It was really early on in the year, but that's when I was sure I was in love with Ashland Davis. I had known Ash since the middle of seventh grade, when he first moved to Hillridge. We weren't really friends, but we'd say 'hi' to each other as we passed in the hallway.

I fell in 'love' earlier this school year, on the third day after school started, actually. I don't know why, maybe I got prettier when I was staying with my aunts and over the summer or something, but almost immediately on the first day of school, I noticed guys regarding me differently. Before, I'd always been like 'one of the guys'. I wasn't a huge tomboy or anything, but I have been a little bit more girly lately, after visiting my family in México. In México, I stayed with my Tia Luisa and my Tio Ramon. My cousin Josefina is a SAP, Spanish American Princess, which basically means that she is so girly that she acts like a princess. I spent the last half of eighth grade living with my aunt and uncle, and some of Josefina's girliness rubbed off on me. But that doesn't explain why I had guys fawning over me all of a sudden.

I liked Ash because, although he did like me, he didn't act stupid around me like the other guys did. He told me he had liked me since he had met me last year, but didn't say anything because he, like everyone else, knew about my huge crush on Ethan Craft. That was sooo embarrassing, but I got over it and started liking Ash even more. A week after school had started Miranda Sanchez and Ash Davis were officially a couple. About two weeks into our relationship, I began to wonder why people make such a big deal out of having a boyfriend. I liked Ash, but strictly as a friend. When we kissed, it was nice, but it wasn't the absolute fireworks I thought that it would be.

I thought there had to be something wrong with me, because out of all the guys I'd met, I'd liked Ash the most. But I guess that wasn't enough. What I did next I'm not too proud of, because it was kind of foolish. I thought that in order for me to feel closer to Ash, we needed to connect on a higher level. So after only a month of going out together, I had sex with him. Even Ash was surprised. We were at his house, making out, when I took it further than I had ever before, with him or any other guy. We were sitting on Ash's bed, making out as usual, and I had my arms around his neck. I kept one arm around his neck, and let the other drop down to his pants. I didn't really know what to do down there, since Ash was my first real boyfriend. At first I just let it sit there, and then I began kind of massaging it. Ash pulled back from me for a second, looking surprised, and then he went back to kissing me. We continued like that for maybe three minutes, and then I went further. I took my other arm from around Ash, and started to fumblingly unbutton his pants and pull down the zipper. I tugged his pants down a bit, but didn't pull them down all the way to his ankles. Ash just sat there, staring at me. I went back to kissing him, and we got right back into it. I put one arm around his neck, and let the other one stay at my side. When I thought the time was right, I reached down to his boxers, and took him in my hand.

That time Ash looked more than surprised, he looked a bit angry. He practically jumped away from me, and stood up off of his bed.

"Don't start things you can't finish, Miranda!" He said quietly but forcefully, his eyes flashing angrily.

"Who said I wasn't planning on finishing it?" I said, sounding sexier and surer of myself than I actually was.

"What?" He said softer this time, his eyes questioning.

"I want you." I said, simply but seductively.

"Miranda, I want you too," Ash said, sitting back down beside me. I could see the bulge in his boxers. "But we really just got to know each other. You don't think this is too fast? Because I'll do it if you're sure, but I'd be willing to wait a bit longer. I mean, I really want to, but I don't want you to do this because you just want to make me happy. I'll only do it if you want to too."

"I want you." I repeated, with a small sexy smile on my face.

""------------------""

It's pretty easy to figure out what happened next. Ash and I slept together, and I felt a real amazing rush, but I didn't have feelings of love shooting throughout my body like I think there should be.

I broke up with Ash a week later. I tried to do it nicely, I told him it really wasn't him, it was me. But there's no nice way to break up with someone, especially since when we broke up, Ash let me know he liked me even more than I had thought. We still see each other, in the hallways between classes, in the cafeteria, and in the parking lot waiting for the buses after school. But he won't talk to me, or even look at me. But I really can't blame him, after what I did. A lot of people think that you can't use a guy for sex, but you can, and that's kind of what I did with Ash. We only did it that one time, and then afterwards, I acted kind of funny and tried to keep my distance. But I wasn't fair or nice of me to make Ash think I liked him more than I did, and then break up with him so soon afterwards. Now whenever he sees me, he quickly averts his gaze. The few times he accidentally makes eye contact with me for longer than he means to he has sort of hurt look in his eyes that then turns into a look of disdain. I can't blame him. I wouldn't like me too much either.

So I guess Ash wasn't the right guy for me. The problem is, neither is any of the other guys I know now. To find that guy, he'll probably have to be some guy who moves to Hillridge from some other place, because no one in Hillridge makes my heart race like it should. So I guess I'll just have to wait until I find my prince, my knight in shining armor. They guy who's right for me. He's out there, somewhere. He has to be.

Wow! That was a bit more…. PG-13 than I had planned, but that's okay! Did you like it? I'm not going to update until I get some REVIEWS!
