Through most of high school my best friend was a girl named Katrina. During our sophomore year her parents ended up getting divorced and her mother moved to another city that was about ninety miles away. Katrina or Trina as we all called her chose to stay here with her father and on the weekends often went and visited her mother.
During our senior year of high school Trina ended up having a small alcohol problem that got her in a lot of trouble. She kept it hidden away from most of us even though we noticed the change but couldn't figure out what was causing it. In the end she had to move down with her mother and repeat her senior year of high school.
Trina and I still kept in touch and she often came back to town on the weekends to see her friends and her father. We all did our best to support her and make sure she was happy. She seemed to be doing better and be the Trina we knew before. She told me it was no specific reason that made her start drinking in the first place but once she started she just kept doing it.
When it came time for Trina to graduate she invited me to come watch her walk across the stage. I was really happy to attend and see my friend succeeding again. Her father even approached me saying that I could ride with him down there so I wouldn't have to put extra miles on my older car or spend the gas money since I was supposed to be trying to save up for college.
The day came for her graduation so I got together a nice skirt and top and put them in a bag heading over to Trina's father's. When I got there he was ready to go so all I had to do was put my stuff in his car and we were on the road. The trip down was pretty quiet but I don't think that either of us really minded it.
When we got to Trina's mother's house it was like old times. We talked and laughed about the people we went to school with and filled each other in on all that had been going on. Trina and I often talked on the phone but it was good to see her in person. Trina also came clean to me about hooking up with one of the guys from the college there and gave me some juicy stories. I'll have to admit that I was jealous as my own sexual life had taken a small break as of recent.
Soon it was time to get ready for the graduation. I changed into the khakis skirt and blue top that I had brought with me. After everyone was ready we went over to the school. The ceremony was a little long-winded in my opinion but it wasn't like these things were made to be the party of the century. It was good to see my friend back to herself again and finishing high school.
Afterwards we all went out to dinner at a really nice restaurant. A lot of Trina's family had come to town for the event and I guess a lot of them were staying through the following week. It even looked like Trina's mother and father were getting along better than they had in a long time.
Dinner ended and Trina and I said our goodbyes. She was going to an all-night senior party put on by the school and her father and I were driving back home. We left right from the restaurant so I was still in my skirt and top from the ceremony.
For some reason during the drive home a couple of the stories Trina had told me about her and her boyfriend stuck in my head. I kept playing them out in my imagination and it was exciting me. I guess since it had been a couple of weeks since I have had sex I was worked up. Trina's father helped distract me though as he was more talkative on the ride back. We talked about the ceremony and Trina and how things were going with life in general. It helped to keep my mind off of sex.
About twenty minutes outside of town though we passed under a well-lit section of the highway and I noticed that Trina's father had a hard on. It was easy to see the huge bulge in his pants pressing forward. Once again my mind was back on sex and I could tell I was somewhat nervous because I started going to one word conversations. For some reason I also kept looking down at it. I'm not sure if I was checking to see if it went away or if it was going to get bigger.
About ten minutes out of town and I was looking down and when I looked up he was staring right at me, caught. No idea what to do so I just looked forward and stared out the window at the highway. The conversation had stopped completely now. I guess we were both feeling awkward by this point. Then something unexpected happened as I felt fingers touching my bare leg. I looked down to see his hand gently resting on my leg above my knee. I side glanced at him to see him focused on the road ahead of us. He was breathing slightly harder than normal. He was just as nervous as I was.
