The jock and the nerd. Or not

Day 52 (Friday)

"Hey, Rose, I have a question for you," said Oliver.

We were in French class, working in groups. I had ended up with Oliver. I was trying to work, and I was clearly the only one.

"Yes," I sighed.
"Tell me," he started, "at what age do you want to lose your virginity?"

I choked. That was NOT the question I was expecting.

"What?"
"At what age do you want to lose your virginity?" he repeated.
"17" I said without thinking.

The truth is, I had never thought about it until that moment. I didn't think I'd need to. But he had asked me... Could it mean... Could he want to...

No. No, Rose. It's just a stupid and random question. Now get back to work, I told myself.

"I want to lose it this year," he said.

I didn't respond.

Later, I was eating a banana, in the school lobby.

Leo came up to me and asked, "Can I get a bite?"
"Sure."

After that, I had trouble eating the rest of the banana. Maybe it was because I didn't feel any butterflies in my stomach.
