CHAPTER 1
Roseanne and I were astonished when Violet told us that she'd never been properly fucked before. The three of us were having a quiet cigarette on the benches outside school and Violet was reflecting on her latest breakup.
"I mean, I've had a lot of sex that was good, you know? But nothing that was just, like, mind blowing. At least I don't think I have." Violet took a drag of her cigarette while Rosanne and I shot each other a glance.
"If you're not sure, then you probably haven't," said Roseanne.
"Yeah, you're right," said Violet. I didn't say anything because I was still pondering the implications of this.
Violet's a good friend but it can be challenging to hang around with her. When the three of us walk down the street, every guy is looking at Violet, and only at Violet. She's all curves, practically every contour of her body is an exaggeration of the female form. She's got a big round ass but it's proportionately perfect; I've seen her literally stop traffic with it. Her hair is long and lustrous, red-tinted with copper highlights. She has luminous emerald-green eyes that will stop you dead in your tracks, even if you've known her for years.
Men don't stand a chance; they're drawn to Violet like moths to a flame. They flutter around her, laugh at her jokes, and are endlessly fascinated by everything she does. They pay just the minimal amount of attention to me and Roseanne to avoid seeming like total assholes. Am I a little jealous? Of course I am. But Violet is a sweetheart, and it's not really her fault that every guy wants to fuck her. I imagine that gets exhausting, after a while.
All of this is to say that, to look at Violet, you would just assume that she's having great sex all the time. There's seemingly nothing stopping her from getting it whenever she wants, however she wants, from whomever she wants. So hearing her complaint was particularly disturbing -- if Violet can't get a proper fuck, then what hope is there for everyone else?
"It's not just you," said Roseanne. "For me it's always been . . . adequate. Nothing earth-shattering." Roseanne was lying, of course, but she would never actually admit that some guy had rocked her world.
"Am I expecting too much or am I just meeting the wrong guys?" Violet asked. Neither of us responded. "What about you?" she asked me. I stared down at the ash forming on my cigarette, wishing I could avoid this conversation. Roseanne laughed derisively.
"Oh, Jessa's mind has been blown," she said.
Violet's eyes lit up. "Details!" she demanded. "When did this happen?" I shot Roseanne a dirty look.
"Recently. Maybe a week ago," I said, reluctantly.
"Someone at school?"
"Yeah."
"Can you tell me who? I shook my head. "Pretty please?" she pleaded, irresistibly, thick eyelashes fluttering.
"Just tell her," said Roseanne. "What difference does it make?" We all knew Violet would get it out of me eventually, it was useless to resist her.
"Lars Parsons," I said at last. Violet looked shocked and incredulous, like I'd just told her the aliens had landed.
"Oh my God!" She turned to Roseanne. "You knew about this?"
"Apparently he fucked Jessa so good she passed out," said Roseanne.
"Just for a moment," I said.
"For real? Lars?" Violet stared at me, glassy-eyed. Her voice lowered to a whisper. "I had no idea. Is he seriously packing, or what?"
"That wasn't it. It was more like, I dunno. We fit together the right way, I guess."
"Jessa thinks she had a near-death experience," said Roseanne, sniffing and blowing out a giant cloud of smoke.
"I'm pretty sure I did," I said.
Violet looked perplexed and slightly horrified. "You almost died?"
"No. It's hard to explain. Like an orgasm so intense that it seems like dying."
I had Violet's complete and total attention now. "How so?" she asked.
