SEXUAL ENCOUTER 2 novel Chapter 2

I am what everyone will call a nerd, being seventeen years old and I am yet to experience my first kiss.

My basic teenage life is all about going to school, avoid the jocks and popular crowd, don't get shoved against the wall, and do everything that will not attract any attention to me.

Well, that's how it started at first until I met Courtney who is now my best friend.

I met her in our sophomore when she moved to our town. I don't know what drew her attention towards me when the teacher was introducing her but anyway, after the introduction, she sat beside me and we have been inseparable since then.

Courtney is very much my opposite, she is beautiful, social,  few days in the school she was already popular with people saying hi to her, smiling in her direction boys clamoring for her attention, cheerleaders wanting her to join them.

She will make a great addition to the team because she has a superb body.

By my association with Courtney, my years of being invisible in school became a thing of the past. People started noticing me talking to me, I can no longer come to take my studies and go home with no one being the wiser. Now people say hi, smile at me on the walkway. They knew if they wanted to be close to Courtney they have to be nice to me.

Since my friendship with Courtney, I started getting invited to parties but I always turn them down to the disappointment of my best friend but the idea of going to a party always terrifies me, and I can't say what terrifies me more, the idea of being made to leave my comfort zone or the idea of interacting with boys, I think is the later. Whenever a boy tries to or speaks to me I become a stammering idiot to the amusement of Courtney who teases me mercilessly because of it.

There was also something new that started happening to me since Courtney came into my life. I started noticing some little changes in me, for example, the way my heart beats faster when she smiles at me or touches me or the way I miss her so much when she is not with me. If Courtney wasn't a girl I will think I was having a crush on her but that's impossible yes, yes I assured myself and tried to carry on with my life, pushing the thoughts away.

It was Friday, the school have dismissed I was waiting for Courtney who had a different class from me.

"Hi," she greeted with a smile when she caught up with me in the hallway.

"Hi," I responded smiling back at her.

"So.... she began and I couldn't help making a face I already knew what she was going to ask, I mean is Friday, and she did while wiggling her eyebrows at me trying to look like a little puppy asking for a treat.

I thought about saying no like I always did but instead I found myself nodding my head. Her whoop of joy didn't drown out the doubt that immediately clouded my mind.

what have I done, I thought in panic.

*Don't look so scared, is just a party" she teases, seeing the look on my face.

"Easy for you to say, you are beautiful, popular and everyone likes you what am I?"

"Beautiful" she supplied given me a look, but I ignored her. Her opinion didn't matter, she is my best friend she is biased.

Before you knew it, it was time for the party. I dressed up in my normal wear, a T-shirt, Jeans, and my black and white sneakers packing my hair in a rough ponytail and I was ready for my first high school party.

The sound of horn disturbing the whole neighborhood let me know that Courtney has arrived.

I ran downstairs saying bye to my parents whose only response was to be home by Eleven.

"Hi," I said to Courtney as I entered the car.

Courtney flashed a look at my dressing.

"what?!" I asked noticing her look. "Nothing" was her casual response before she drove off.

When we came out from the car and Courtney stepped out my jaw dropped, she looked gorgeous, I looked down at myself already regretting putting on plain jeans and all around me the girls arriving at the party all looked hot in one gown or the other.

"Damn!," am going to stick out like a sore thumb in there, I thought with mortification glancing around me.

"Are you coming?" Courtney asked seeing as I wasn't following her. I sighed since am already here I might as well brave the whole thing out.

The whole place was packed with teenagers and the music so loud I wanted to cover my ears. Is it the party that everyone talks about, why would anybody wants to be here that could cause serious problems to one's ears I muttered to myself in wonder.
