I sat down at the table with my friends. To think, in a month, I'd be graduating from JFK High and going to the local college, also JFK. I looked over, and saw her walking by. Her name was Ali Wilson. Her small ass, her large breasts, walking with all of her friends in a pair of cutoff jeans and a tube top. I looked back at my friends.
"Yo, man, if you like her so much, ask her out! She's only a month younger than you." said Cory, taking a bite of his mashed potatoes. "It's not that easy, man. She's popular. Popular girls don't go out with unpopular guys. She's beautiful, and I'm just..." I started, not able to finish the sentence. It was true. She was tall and hot. I was tall, but not good-looking. She had a head of long, brown hair. Mine was short and black. She had friends, but I just hung with Cory, Jon, and Gary. It wouldn't work.
"Not that I wouldn't love to be with her. That would be great." I said a few minutes later. "Okay, whatever you say." said Gary, as the bell rang. We headed for gym class.

At least I had something good going for me: I was good at basketball and dodge ball. I stood at my side of the court, waiting to run for the dodge ball in the center. As the whistle blew, I ran from the line, my ball in my hand. Someone had beat me to the ball, but was bent over getting it. I threw and hit him in the chest as he stood up. The ball bounced from his chest, as I kicked the ball back.
We won, 4 games to 1. I had just got out of the shower, and headed to get my stuff. I dried my hair and got my clothes on. I sat against the wall talking to Cory and Gary until the bell rang, like I usually did. This time, however, Ali sat closer. I raised my head in a hello as she glanced at me, and she waved her fingers. Then the bell rang.
As I left, she cornered me in the hallway, next to the soda machines. "Hey, Joey, I was wondering, if...If you'd like to get some pizza later." she ask. I was shocked. She was asking me out? "Sure. I'll pick you up at seven?" I replied.
"Okay." she said, winking, and sprinting off to her next class. I headed for Computer Apps, right after Cory and Gary, who stood outside the door.

That evening, I was getting ready to go pick her up. I took a shower and some Binaca, and gelled my hair. I put a couple twenties and some fives in my wallet, and climbed into my Ford Mercury and drove to her apartment. She came out in another pair of shortcut jeans and a tube top, both different from today's.
"Hey, you look nice." she said, looking at my leather jacket and blue shirt.
"You too." I said, helping her into the car. We had a good time, talking until we got to the pizza place. We talked, and laughed, and left.
"Hey, uh, Joey, you wanna go back to my place? Maybe get us a couple sodas and watch a movie?" she asked. My heart skipped a beat. Luckily for me (and trust me, I am very lucky) that I had slipped a condom into my wallet, hidden where it couldn't be seen. "Sure." I said, heading towards her place. My heart was beating a little faster. I'd always wanted to go with her, but I didn't know it'd turn out like this. We pulled into the parking lot, and took the elevator to her apartment.

Ali came back from the kitchen, a bowl of popcorn and a couple cans of soda in her hands. She sat the popcorn on the coffee table, and handed me a soda. She took the DVD player remote and pressed a button, bringing up a movie, probably '
