I had my first "real" girlfriend, who I will call Rachel, when I was 18. We'd been seeing each other for a bit, and I'd had a couple really intense make-out sessions with her, including one that wound up with her on top of me in the driver's seat of my car, dry humping the shit out of me in her parent's driveway. One night, we're out for a drive and she asks if I want to stop by her friend Monica's (nod) house. I knew Monica from the biology class we took together, and I liked her because she was weird and unashamed, so I had no issues agreeing to saying hi. We were at Monica's house for about five minutes when Rachel asked Monica what her friend Pete was up to. Apparently Pete had a long-standing crush on Monica, and she had zero interest in Pete. She said he called about hanging out earlier, then admitted she wanted to get out of the house, "even if it means hanging out with Pete." So I drove the three of us over to Pete's house.
Pete had exclusive rights to the entire downstairs of a split-level house, complete with a padlock on the door. It was a little strange to be locked in a basement (albeit finished) with and by somebody I'd just meant, but I just wanted to go where Rachel went, so I shuffled in without a word. We sat for a while and shot the shit, and I immediately understood Monica's reluctance with Pete. He was a little off, kind of short and the embodiment of a napoleon complex. But he had really good taste in music, so I could focus on that and ignore everything else.
