Aphrodite // H.S. (Mature)

XVII

A/N- Sorry for taking so long with this chapter, I had writers block and I didn't even edit this. I've planned most of the story out it was just writing it was a little difficult.

After school Tuesday I went over to Lauren's house since it's been a while since we've actually hung out. It's kinda strange being here without Harry being around and that's exactly what I said in a text I sent him. He responded with 'aw baby, I wish I was there so I could see you.'

"Who are you texting?" Lauren asked, I didn't realize I've been smiling at my phone long enough for her to notice. "What? Nobody." I shoved my phone in my pocket without texting back. "Is it Lucas?" She teased making kissy noises. That's right! She thinks I'm with Lucas. "Maybe..." I said looking around the room. "You guys are so cute. You guys have the type of relationship that will last a life time." She tells me almost making me snort. If she only knew.

"Thanks. I think so too." I say in a sarcastically sweet voice that she didn't detect so her reaction was as I expected: a big smile. "I've been wanting to tell you something but I don't want you to freak out." She says after a minute of silence. "Okay, what is it?" I felt my phone go off but didn't check it since I felt it'd be rude with her telling me something seeming important.

"Well, last week a little bit after my party, I was with Eric and we were in my room. My parents went to bed and they thought he left but he was actually with me. In here." I nodded my head, I feel like I already know what she was going to tell me. "And one thing lead to another and that is how I lost my virginity." She smiled and looked as if she was reminiscing on the moment. "Good for you." I say unsure of how she was expecting me to react.

"You can at least show a little more enthusiasm. I'm officially a woman now." She sighed slightly mad. "Sorry... Wow Lauren, I'm so glad your hymen is no longer intact, let's celebrate your new found ticket to womanhood, even if I don't believe losing your virginity makes you more or less of a woman I will still pretend because I'm a good friend." I say annoyingly taking my phone back out since it vibrated three more times.

From H: Babe?

From H: Text me back :(

From H: Babyyyyy

From H: Are you okay???

"Aphrodite, are you jealous?" Lauren doesn't usually use my whole name but since she has I know she's being serious. "Really? Jealous?" I looked at her as if she was stupid. Our friendship is the best I swear. "We'd always talk about who would lose it first when we were younger and we always said it was going to be me. And it was. Maybe if you got laid you wouldn't seem so uptight and bitchy." She looked at herself in the mirror while brushing her hair. I honestly wasn't sure how to react to what she said.

She thinks I'm uptight and bitchy? I mean I know I'm not the greatest when it comes to talking about stuff like this but there is seriously no need to sound so condescending just because she thinks she lost her virginity first. I didn't even know it was a race.

"Oh my god Lauren, shut up." I groaned while looking at my phone to text Harry back.

To H: It hasn't even been 5 minutes! Lol someone's being a bit clingy.

From H: I was just worried something happened to you...

To H: I know babe I was just teasing

From H: Soo do you wanna come over when I get done with work?

To H: Sure, I'm at Lauren's though

From H: Want me to pick you up?

To H: Yes please

From H: No problem baby, I'll see you in a half an hour.

"You're ditching me?!" Lauren shrieked in my ear making me jump. "What?" I looked at her as if she was crazy because right now I believe she just might be. "Who is H?" She asked. I felt my face get hot and I wasn't sure what to say. "Does H stand for Henry?!" Lauren asked like she was mad. "Are you cheating on Lucas?" She wouldn't stop asking questions. It's not like I would answer her if I got the time in between questions to actually talk.
