Escaping Virginia

Chapter 1

A/N - Get ready for a wild ride! Featuring some of the best-worst jokes you've ever read, all-around awful characters, witty dialogue and the baddest hallway fights in town!

Also featuring racist parents, homophobic Rainbows and a love triangle that's not unlike a circus performance- it will horrify you beyond belief (the cringe is truly disastrous), but is so compelling that it's hard to take your eyes off it.

Oh, and there's a pale, weird dude who may not be a dude, or even a human for that matter, and a lot of douchy basketball guys, and more closeted characters than the entire Republican Senate.

"So, when's the big night going to be, Mex?" Barbara-Ann asked from across the table with a wink. It was a beautiful day for a conversation about awkward teenage sex, the sky tinted as pink as the hearts on Jeikeh's 'manly' boxers.

Mexico grimaced, slamming her tray of food down on the table with unnecessary force, her face tightening in an expression of discomfort. "I don't know what you're talking about." She muttered. "Hey, did you hear about Bluebell-Rose's new piercing? Apparently she got one on her-"

"Mexico, don't change the subject!" Barbara-Ann exclaimed, grinning at Alisha and RJ conspiratorially . "You know perfectly well what I'm talking about, so spill the beans, gurl."

"The big night isn't going to be anytime soon, Ann, and you know it too, so you might as well shut up about it." Mexico replied stubbornly. "I wish it would. You have no clue how much."

Mexico shifted her weight, glancing lustily over at Jeikeh Dheives, the one and only love of her life and king of mediocrity and bad spray tans.

"What's going on?" RJ leaned over, a curious expression on his face. "What're you talking about, Mex?"

Mexico merely shook her head in a just don't kind of way. Alisha stuck her tongue out sassily "I know what you're talking about", she sang, nudging Mexico and smirking.

"How the heck do you know about this?!" Mexico turned to her in disbelief. "Who told you? Jeez, does the whole school know?"

"Know what?" RJ pressured. Both Barbara-Ann and Mexico ignored him but Alisha leaned over. "Sex!" she hissed in his ear.

"Oh my god! Mexico!" RJ's voice shot up higher and louder than Hillary's shrieks on the 9th November.

"Shhhh!" hissed Mexico and Barbara-Ann at the same time.

RJ lowered his voice. "What happened? Who was it?"

"No one." Mexico sighed. "That's the point. My dear friend here-" she cast Barbara-Ann a look. "Is reminding me of my inability to get laid. Not that I'd even want to!"

She paused, then "Society's pressures have no impact on me." She finished with a sense of superiority.

"Aw, come on, there's only you left!" Barbara-Ann exclaimed. "And then we'll all be impure and ready for college!" She nudged Mexico's shoulder, chuckling. Alisha giggled.

"Yeah..." Barbara-Ann's face lit in hope but fell as Mexico shook her hand with a glimmer of a smirk. "No."

"Come on, Mexico, everyone's done it."

"I actually can't believe my best friends are pressuring me into sex." Mexico shook her head, rolling her eyes.

She knew that everyone had had sex, she'd heard all the details at lunch, Ann didn't need to remind her again that she was the only one who hadn't.
