iv. Of The Birds & The Bees
"So, guys, can we like make this quick? I'm kinda meeting Atticus at the movies in about five." Dan said, glancing at his watch.
"Actually;" Nellie said. "You might wanna sit down for this. It's gonna take a bit more than a couple of minutes to get this done."
"But, Nelz! This is like a special screening! Do you have any idea how many nerds in Attleboro are dying to see Man of Steel?!"
"Sit down, Dan." Amy said sternly. Dan stuck out his tongue at her, but quickly sat down when he saw that glare in her eyes.
"OK, so what do you want?"
"Well, I was going through your backpack..." Nellie started awkwardly.
"You were going through my backpack?!"
"...I'm not done. And I found something in it."
"What?"
"Condoms, Dan. She found condoms." Amy finished for Nellie. Dan's eyes widened.
"You wanna tell us something about that?" Nellie said, folding her arms.
"See, Dan." Amy said quietly, taking Dan's hands in hers. She sat down near him.
"You are in tenth grade. School is not the time or place for you to be thinking about...it. You gotta learn properly, get a steady job, find a good girlfriend, and then..."
Dan just stared at his sister, then at Nellie. Than at Amy again. Finally, he burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha! Y-you guys actually thought I was gonna hook up with a chick?! Wow, I can't believe you guys. Like, seriously...?"
"What's so funny?" Nellie said sternly.
"Those don't belong to me!"
"Oh, yeah?"
"Yeah! Derek told me to put those in my bag cause he didn't want his girlfriend to find them or something."
"Well,"
"This is awkward." Nellie said.
"Yeah. Um, Dan, you may go now."
"Finally. Att will be wondering what the hell's keeping me." Dan grabbed his backpack from the nearby chair. He was soon out the door, and Amy and Nellie looked at each other.
"I can't believe we thought Dan was going to..."
"Totally. Hey, Amy...?"
"When are you and Ian going to have sex?"
Amy threw a pillow at her.
Wow, I cringed after reading this. So not proud.
