Senior Year

Chapter One

"Promise me senior year will be great. This is our last year in this shit hole of a town and I want it to be our best year here. Let's go to parties and meet boys and do all the things we say we'll do but haven't had the balls to do them. Let's be adventurous!"

It was their annual back to school sleepover-celebrated the Saturday right before the first day of school. It was Allie who had spoken-surprisingly. While the two always joked about doing all of the typical movie teenager stuff, Danni was the only one who had done-albeit not in full-any of that stuff. She'd had a boyfriend (even though he turned out to be a total douche) whom she lost her virginity to, had smoked pot on multiple occasions, and had thrown what some may call a party, but it consisted of only nine people so she didn't think it really counted.
Danni turned to Allie with arched eyebrows.
"If you're down- and I mean really down for that shit, I'm definitely down- you know that. But I don't want this to be like all the other times where you chicken out on me like a little bitch," Danni said bluntly.
"I'm completely serious," Allie insisted. "I want to say I've been to wild house parties and gotten shitfaced drunk and been high and I want to say I had a one night stand with some drunk dude. Hell I want to say I've been kissed. I'm seventeen-never been kissed, never had a boyfriend. It's pathetic- I'm pathetic!"
"Okay, Allie, chill. I get it," Danni paused and glared at her friend, "And you're not pathetic for not having a boyfriend or being kissed. Guys are dicks and not that special."
"Whatever," Allie scoffed. "You can say that because you've had a boyfriend and you've had sex. And made out with a bunch of guys!"
"Go to sleep,Allie." Was the only response Danni gave.
Allie grumbled a bit but rolled on her side and closed her eyes. As stupid as it may sound, she really did want all those high school experiences while she was still in high school. And she may or may not be slightly envious of her best friend being way more experienced than her.
As Danni drifted off to sleep, she was seriously considering what Allie had said. She wanted those same experiences, she decided, and she had a slight idea of how to make it happen. But the way she's have to go about making it happen would be slightly unpleasant and that way's name was Richard Douglas Gates the Fourth. They had had sex once and while it wasn't terrible it wasn't exactly the best sex she'd ever had. She sent him a text, casually telling him to let her know what parties were happening and what she'd have to do to get on the invite list. She knew about the back to school party that was to take place the Friday of their first week back at school. She also knew it was exclusive-jocks only basically- and the only shot she had of getting into it was via Ricky.
