Chapter 6
'You want anymore?'
'Nah!'
Jeanie shoved the paper plate of French fries back into the greasy brown bag and then crinkled the bag up. 'Yuk!'
'Want more soda?' Tessie offered the can of grape soda to her friend.
'Okay. Want to split a dex?'
'Mmmmm. I could use something to perk me up.'
Jeanie broke the small green pill in half and they each swallowed a piece, washing it down with soda. The two girls met every morning at 7:30, picked up some breakfast at Nick's and brought it up to their homeroom class. Usually there'd be no one in the room, and they'd put on the make-up that their mothers didn't know they wore, do the homework they'd skipped the night before, and they'd talk, mostly about boys and clothes.
'What's the matter?' Jeanie stood a small round mirror on her desk and leaned into it, gingerly applying a light green line along her eyelid, her large, brown eye staring back at her from the magnified mirror.
'I'm tired… up late last night.'
'You sound depressed.' Jeanie applied the make-up to her other eyelid then sat back and admired her reflection. She made a funny face at herself. 'I know you better, Tessie Matheson.' Jeanie said, practicing a seductive expression. 'What's up?'
'I think I'm going to quit school.'
Jeanie turned to her friend, startled. 'You can't do that. Why, anyhow'
'I'm bored. The year is almost up and it has been a total waste of time. I can't think of anything I learned that was worth knowing or that I didn't know before. I thought school was for learning. So, I cut up a frog, learned some number games in algebra, went on a school boat ride, and I can say aunt, school, and girl in French. So, Jeanie, so what?
'And… and the boys are boring, the parties are boring, the pills, the grass, the wine, the whole trip is boring. Jeanie, it's all a crock of shit.'
'Oh, and working will be better, right?' Jeanie, argued. 'Or are you going to sit home and help your mother clean all day long? At least school is a free ride.'
'I figured I could get a job… doing something… and make some money.' Tessie sat back in the chair and gazed out of the window. It was a sunny day and the sky was a crisp, very clear blue. It would be more faded by the time school ended. 'Just being here is a drag.'
A few students entered the classroom and sat down. Jeanie cleaned off her desk and brought the garbage up to the rusting trash pail next to the teacher's desk. When she returned, Tessie was brushing her hair and flirting with three boys leering in at her from the back door. One of them stuck his tongue out at her and she licked her lips and blew him a kiss. The three youths slapped each other on the back, laughed, and yelled a lot of 'yeh-heys' as they did a mock jive-walk away.
'Jesus, Tessie!' Jeanie, her hands on her hips, shook her head back and forth. 'You flirt with anybody.'
'Why not?' Tessie laughed. Male attention, any kind of male attention, always elated her. 'That's one of the things I do best.' She finished her soda, sipping it noisily through the straw, slurping up the last bit of it.
'Jeanie, are you really a virgin?'
Jeanie sat down, turning away from Tessie, towards the window. 'Why?'
'You aren't, are you?'
'No.'
'You really aren't?' Tessie hadn't expected that. 'Who? When? Why didn't you tell me?' She was genuinely hurt; they always told each other everything. Everything!
'I was going to tell you, but I was embarrassed.' She looked like she was remembering something, and then Jeanie smiled. 'Besides, I knew you were cherry and you'd be jealous as hell.'
'I am not.'' Tessie sure was. 'Who?'
'Some guy you don't know. Someone I met over the summer.'
'And that's the only time?' Tessie hoped so, but she didn't believe it.
'Yes, the only time. It just happened. We were out with a lot of kids, at the beach, late at night, all very drunk. In fact, I hardly remember it or how it happened. Sometimes I'm not even sure it did, except that I did hurt for days afterwards, especially when I peed.'
Tessie looked depressed again, and Jeanie felt sorry for her friend She cupped a hand under Tessie's chin and placed a gentle kiss on the pouting girl's nose. 'So, that's what's bothering you. You decided you were going to do anything and everything this year, and did. Now you need to get laid, good, hard and real.'
'Well; god, I'm trying. Almost made it with Jack last night'
'Jack? That gorgeous, hairy-cheated bus driver?' It was Jeanie's turn to be jealous.
'Yeah,' Tessie answered rather smugly. 'He stopped the bus up on that big hill. You know, the one almost near the end of the run. He stopped there, turned off all the lights, and we went to the back seat. He had a twenty-six minute break and then the bus had to go back to the garage.'
'Weren't you scared to be alone with him?'
'Scared?' Tessie laughed at Jeanie who looked back at' her in awe. 'I couldn't wait, I was so excited'
'But, he's so gorgeous, and big, and old'
'Thirty-four!' Tessie revealed, superiority dripping from her voice. 'Do you want to hear about it?'
Of course, Jeanie wanted to hear about it, every dirty detail, and Tessie couldn't wait to tell her. The class had filled up quite a bit, so the two girls huddled their heads together, giggling while they got comfortable.
'I had told Jack that I was a virgin and that I didn't want to be. It really jolted him… seems young cherries are turn-ons to him. So, last night – we had planned it all – he parks the bus and we go to the back.'
'And you weren't nervous at all?'
'Well, I guess I was… a little. But first he lights up a cigarette and passes it to me. Then he sits me down and just stands there, his crotch in front of my face, grinning down at me. He told me how pretty I was, and how he liked the nice convenient green dress I wore. You know, Jeanie, the one with the zipper down the front.'
'You couldn't have made it easier for him if you had gone naked.'
'I told you I was trying.' Tessie went on with the story; both girls enjoying talking about sex.
'I know we talked for a while, but I can't remember what about. I kept looking at his fly, my panties getting wet. He must have known that I didn't need any more relaxing, 'cause he saw me staring directly at his crotch, watching his prick rising up and pushing his pants towards my mouth. I had to fight back this compulsion to kiss him there.'
'Wow!' Jeanie said, squirming.
'He laid me down, real gentle and slow, coming down on top of me. Really, it was like in slow motion; and he undid his pants as he came towards me. I'll tell you, he really knew what he was doing. By the time he was right on top of me, he had undone his pants, taken out his cock and opened. the zipper on my dress. He did that all while laying me down… imagine that! I felt him on top of my naked body, my dress opened to my sides. All that was between me and his cock was a pair of wet panties, and he had them down and off of me in about three seconds, his cock wedging between my thighs, shoving up tight against my slit. It felt so big and hard that my lips just squished open around it, and I got so wet that his cock must have been covered with my discharge.
'Then he started to slide his prick up and down between my pussylips and, it felt so good Oh, Jeanie, he was so big you wouldn't believe it. Honestly, and I think that frightened me a little… a lot… yeah, a lot. But I still wanted him to fuck me, probably more than before.'
'Hurry up and tell me what happened.' Jeanie was all flushed, her brown eyes glassy and wide. 'Come on, before class starts and I don't get to hear it all.'
'Okay. He didn't try to fuck me right away. First he licked my tits, all over them, till they were supersensitive. Then he licked me all over, down my stomach, all the way down till he was licking my pussy. I came when he did that… and when I was coming, before I even finished, he climbs back on top of me, comes down hard and buries his cock in my nest, its head pushing at my hole. He wasn't being gentle anymore, and I didn't want him to be. I
