this one might explain why i was a prude until i was seventeen. really…i know you might have your own personal thoughts about how skanky i am and appear to be, but seriously, this story is painfully true and embarrassing.
so, there i was, in sixth grade, twelve years old, and i had a “boyfriend.” now, i put that term in quotes because when you’re twelve, a “boyfriend” really isn’t a “boyfriend.” well, at least when i was twelve…in 1996. now, twelve-year-olds are putting some college girls to shame with their sexual shenanigans. one more reason that i hope i never have little girls of my own…and if i do, well, i am going to feed them butter. and tie their knees together.
anyway, i was on the school bus, on my way home from school, sitting in the same seat as my “boyfriend.” we had been “dating” for two weeks by this point and barely held hands or talked to one another. one of my friends was sitting behind me and popped up over the seat to whisper something in my ear.
“you have to kiss him before he gets off at his stop,” she says.
“huh?!?” i retort with a look of complete terror on my face.
“don’t be a wuss. you don’t want to be a prude.”
“i’m twelve.”
“just do it. his stop is coming up. you have to.”
effing peer pressure. so, not wanting to back out of this somewhat dare/demand, i thought, “well, i might as well give it a shot. what’s the worst that can happen?”
my hands were getting sweaty and my heart was about to pound out of my chest. his bus stop was approaching rapidly and i was about to experience the first kiss of my almost teen-aged life. (my actual first kiss was in kindergarten, but i don’t count that one, because i kind of physically abused my way in to his heart. i beat his ass and threw him down on the playground and jumped on top of him. some may call it sexual assault, i call it “i wish i had a roofie.”)
the bus stopped at his house. he grabbed his book bag off the floor of the bus and was about to get up when i turned to him and said, “wait, sit back down.” (talk about setting the romantic mood. what the eff was i thinking?!?)
“okay, why?” he said.
“just do it.”
so, he sat back down and that’s when i went for it. i, without any grace or sexual appeal, launched my puckered lips in his direction, hoping he would reciprocate.
he screamed like a bitch.
i opened my eyes and was completely embarrassed. i buried my face in my hands and told him to get off the bus.
“wait, i thought you were going to bite me. i was scared. just try it again,” he said.
“no way. go home,” i replied.
he stood up and exited. my friend popped up over the seat and said, “what a pussy.”
i broke up with him the next day.
and this, my friends, is why reneecarol.com was scarred for years to come and never tried to put the moves on anyone again. until college.
