A Learning Affair end of chap 1

Finally the end of the first chapter, sorry it took so long

When I got home Laura was in the kitchen preparing what looked like dinner. I tried to avoid her, which was hard when I wanted a soda and she was in the way.

“Hey Bristol, I’m just trying out this new recipe. Pork and…”

“I don’t eat pork,” I rolled my eyes and grabbed a can of soda.

“Oh. Why?” Laura frowned.

“Um, hello Charlotte’s Web was my favorite book growing up,” I said.

“Uh, okay, I could make you something special,” Laura nodded as she flipped through her book.

“Forget it, you’ve already got pork juice on your hands,” I shrugged.

“Bristol, I’m really trying here. I don’t want to be your enemy,” Laura pleaded. “If you ever need me I’d be there in a second, honest.”

I sighed; I needed someone to talk to about the Logan situation, Jane had been no help and my father wasn’t home.

“Okay, here’s the deal, I’m a virgin and Logan wants to have sex. I promised myself I’d wait till my senior year and now its here. Logan expects me to live up to my promise, which is no big deal, but I don’t want to feel like I’m rushing it. What do I do?” I asked.

Laura set her book down. “Okay, that’s a lot to process. But I’m glad you came to me. Now I don’t want to sound cliché and tell you to wait for marriage, but that’s probably your best bet. You can never undo your first time Bristol. At least in a marriage you’d be with someone you plan on spending the rest of your life with, other than someone you could break up with in a month or so.”

“That’s not what I wanted to hear, but thanks anyway,” I grabbed my soda and turned to go.

“Bristol I’m sor…”

“No, it’s okay. I’m just going to my room now,” I said as I walked away.

I don’t know why I was so harsh with her. She’d said exactly what I needed to hear. But there was no way I could repeat any of it to Logan.

I went and laid down in my room.

First day of school and already I was stressed out. Great.
