Not Stupid, Naive (On Hold)

Chapter seven

I can't help but wonder if there's anything more mum and Cyra need to tell me. You know, about this new 'development' and any other things.

If they think I'll be a baby forever, they better stop thinking that. I won't be a mummys 'darling' all my life. I dont want to be. But I don't know anything about the real world.

Cyra isn't much help, either. I mean, yes, we talk, and she's really great, but she doesn't answer any of my important questions.

She just keeps saying mum and dad are the parents, and they should 'educate' their children, and she doesn't want to be doing their work.

That's stupid! I swear if I have any questions to ask and they don't answer, I'm going to ask anybody. And I mean anybody!

"So..." I turn to Cyra as she drives home."Since you said you also menstruate mind telling me if there's other anything I need to know?"

"Other things like what?"

"I don't know. That's why I'm asking you, "

"If you have any questions, tell me, and I'll answer you."

I scoffed. Like she's ever done that before.

"But you've not answered my question about sex," I remind her.

She sighed, like, as if I just said something stupid again. "Chas, I'm gonna say it again. That's - "

"-Mum and dad's job? I know," I cut in." But Cyra, you're my sister. My elder sister and I think normally you're responsible for me, so you're like my mum junior."

She sighed. "Look, um.."

"Something happened in school," I interrupted.

"What?" She asked.

"I'm telling you!" Why was she suddenly so annoying? "I...well. This boy at the cafeteria -"

"He?"

"Do you want me to shut up or continue?" I asked, frustrated. She shook her head "continue"

"Well, his name is Nike, and.."

"Nike? The brand?" She cut in.

"That's what I said, well sort of. Anyway, some girls were talking about him, and then he stood up from where he was, and I saw a red stain on his pants and I thought 'Oh my God' he's stained because he's-"

"Menstruating? Chas, boys don't Menstruate. They kinda do but not like girls."

"Yeah, I figured that out," I told her.

"So, I'm guessing you went up to him and told him he was...you know"

I tilt my head a little to the side. "Well, not really..."

"You didn't,"

I nod. "I did,"

Cyra bursts out laughing, and she sets off the wipers. Wow, I guess the car is wiping its tears of laughter. You see me laughing, too? Ha-ha.

I roll my eyes. "That was the reaction of the whole cafeteria," I said.

"I don't blame them." Cyra says and wipes a few tears from her eyes. Then she stops the wipers of the car. "Chastity, you keep getting more stupid!"

"All thanks to you guys, you're really good, teachers." I say sarcastically.

"Aww. Thanks." She says. "Wait."

Now it's my turn to laugh.

"But, seriously, Cyra," I stop laughing. "Won't you guys sit me down and give me info about things I should know? I mean, I'm sure that babies don't come from storks!"

"You don't know where babies come from?" Cyra asks incredulously.

"I came from mum, right?"

"Babies come from mums with dads help too. A mother and father have sex to have a baby, duh. "

What with the 'duh'? I've been begging you to explain it to me.

"Okay?" I signal her to continue.

"Sex is... let's say input, output there you go! " She says.

"Input what?"

"Yeah, it's a lot more than that. " it's like she's talking to herself now. I'm completely lost. "I mean, there's different styles too."

"Styles of what?" I ask.

"I think I prefer blowjobs anyway,"

Say what? "Cyra! You should be talking to me! Explaining to be precise not speaking gibberish "

But she keeps going on and on, and I actually wish she'd shut up.

"But that was crazy!" Eva said again.

I smiled as I took a bite of my sandwich. I instantly melted. Cyra... I love you!

"I mean, you've got courage. Yeah, it was kinda embarrassing, but you've got guts, "she says again.

I turn to face her.  "You're just saying that to make me feel better,"

"No, I'm not!" She denied, but I knew she was. Everyone was talking about what happened yesterday, and Eva was obviously trying to take my mind off it.

She's trying to take my mind off it. It's not working.

I know I shouldn't listen to what anyone was saying because it was a 'misunderstanding ', but it hurt when they kept pointing and laughing.

"They're laughing at me for something that's not my fault." I say.

"Anyone that's laughing is a moron."

"The twins were laughing," I mumble.

Eva sighs and puts her arm around my shoulder. "You better stop thinking about them, or I'll tickle you again,"

I push her away. "No!"

She laughs. "Hey, you should really come over to my house sometime. How does Saturday sound? " She suggests.

I smile, big! "It's good! Perfect! I mean. Yes!"

Eva smiles back.

I sounded like a fool, but I was more foolish inside. My stomach was doing backflips, and I can't do backflips in real life!

This was amazing! I got invited to a friends house! I need to tell Cyra!
