Chapter 3; Everyone Has A Story

"I'm a," Leena started but was immediately interrupted by Keith saying "So, What's your story?" The question was certainly addressed to Alice, he seemed impressed by her way of thinking, but in a romantic kind of way, in a thoughtful way, he looked at her like she was all a mind, like a map of thoughts, beautiful but hard to understand, complicated but once you get it, you have the world's most precious treasure. He valued her way of thinking and wanted to get to know her, he wanted to be like her childhood bestfriend Lucas, he wanted to be more of a special friend than he is to her, but that's the way he wanted it to be, a friendship. He knew that the most precious and priceless treasure one can own, is a thoughtful friendship, he liked her, but he didn't want to lose his opportunity of having that treasure.
"What story?" She didn't understand
"I mean everyone has a story, so what's yours?" He answered
"Well my dad's dead, i moved out from my mom's and moved here, i write articles and i wrote two short stories, they were published as books too but didn't get the fuzz and i'm working on my next big thing, if that's what you mean"
"Come on, you know what i mean, your story, an adventure, love, sadness, desire, crushes, recklessness, you're young to stop where you are but you're too old not to have a story,"
"Fine, i'll tell you my story,"
She told them everything about Tim and when she got to telling them about losing her virginity to him she said "well, i lost it, my virginity, but i think it's stupid i get judged for that, a girl does not lose her virginity until she feels it inside her, it's not only blodd dripping out of her vagina, it's something inside her, a part of her she can never be raped of unless she chooses to, unless she's happy she had sex with someone, until that moment you can't call her non-virgin, i'm not happy with what i've done, but i also don't regret it, it made me learn things, and i honestly believe it was for the best."
Everyone just sat quiet because they can never disagree with her, they all agreed, maybe others would disagree, but these people understood, they were the kind of people that don't judge because they've been judged for way too long and too many times in their lives, so they understood what's it like to be judged, and so, they never did it, not even to those who judged them, they were much better than that
