I was hunched over my wooden desk, typing my first blog post after discovering my asexuality. Inspired by my inner muse, my fingers flew across the keyboard. No struggle at all. I was completely in the Zone.

Brrrrrrring.
Incessant, annoying, piece of --
Brrrrrrring.
Freaking bring yourself!
Brrrrrrring.
Fine!
"Hello?"
"Oh, hey, Jess! It's Nicky."
*cue sigh*
"Oh, hey. How are you?"
"Coo, coo, coo..."
What are you, a bird?
"So, prom! Are you excited? It's only a few weeks away!"
You gotta be joking...
"So excited..."
"Have you got a date yet?"
"Come on, girl. My breakup with Bryan is old news."
"Oh, yeah, sorry... No new prospects?"
Way to make me feel better.
"Nope."
"Well, guess who asked me?"
"Who?"
"Jack Kowalski!"
Jack the Jock was the hottest and most popular guy according to the senior lists. No wonder. His spiky, dark hair and gorgeous brown eyes made him the local heartthrob, not to mention his athletic physique. He was the head of the Fabulous Four, the most popular clique at St. Stephen's. Thanks to Nicky's popularity, money, and good looks, she was also a member. Of course.
