My First Time
This is a hard paper for me to write, Mr. Marshall. But here goes; oh sorry about the, But. Now, as per your request. My name is Evan Darling Stop Laughing. You know it’s true. My stupid mother married my stupid father who has the stupidest last name in the world. The only other horrible last name in this town is Enos. You know what they call Michael, don’t you? Mike Enos the P…I get goo-goo eyes and people making kissy faces at me. Then they tell me what darling blue eyes I have and what a darling sweet smile and oooh, how the girls must love me to pieces. More on that later
Anyhow he moved on and I never see him, but my stepfather who has raised me much longer than I would like, is named Miller which as you probably know is the name of a beer, which, he claims, was named in his honor.
If you don’t remember, you asked us to write about My Weekend, My First Time, How I Spent my Summer Vacation, or the ever popular, What Were the Major Turning Points in the Boer War?You said you wanted honesty and depth. Ha-ha, I said depth
How I Spent My Weekend
close enough
You may have noticed I was out of school this past week. Pretty quiet in class, huh? No tacks on your seat, no spit-wads,
I learned about them from my dad
, no whispering/yelling/flirting or anything. Did you miss me? Well, I’m back. Sorry.
Now I’ll tell you where I was. I was in the hospital. Yes, I have a note from my doctor. The principal has it. He’s checking with my mother and my doctor to make sure it’s legit. It’s not as if it’s signed, Evan’s Dockter, or anything. It’s legit. I was only there for three days but they wouldn’t let me leave the house until today. Anyhow, it could have been worse. I could have been in the nut house—or homeless, or dead. Anyhow, this is why my paper is late.
It was like this. You know that new kid, Jamison? The one with the curly blond hair and the sea-green eyes? Yeah, that one you had sit next to me and asked me to “help out.” Oh boy, did I help him out. As soon as he sat down next to me, he looked up at me with those eyes, and I melted into a puddle of goo or something. Right then I would have helped him out of the room and into the boys’ room if he’d asked. Or even if you’d only turned your head. We wouldn’t have been very long. But no. At that very moment you had to open your mouth and say, and I quote, “Now remember. These papers are important. They need to be over a thousand words and I want detail and I mean detail. And an introduction, and background. I want to be able to see what you’re writing about, to be there at the scene of the action.”
Please remember those were your orders as you read my paper, okay? Maybe next time you should be more careful about what you ask for.
Or maybe not, hey, what do I really know about your personal life? Is there a Mrs. Marshall? Or is there perhaps a partner, or even a husband? What do I know?
Okay then. There’s the introduction of which you speak. Now for the background. Up to this time, two weeks ago when all this happened, I thought I was a pretty normal kid, you know. Honest, studious, a little nuts, apparently very annoying, kind of talkative, good-looking, talented, smart, but straight and all that. Not to mention handsome, clear-eyed, and destined for a great future. A boy who was too busy with his education to mess around with girls. I did figure I was a late bloomer and would be interested in girls soon enough. I’d just wait until I could actually get a girlfriend and take her clothes off or something and see if that—ew, never mind.
How’s that for description? Your word once again. I tried. Not the girlfriend thing, the description.
Well, when Jamison sat his gorgeous ass down next to me, I could no longer deny this nagging suspicion that boobies, bare-naked or not, did not and never would do it for me. You know why? Because Jamison’s eyes and his ass did it for me, if you know what I mean, and what I mean is he sat down, his bluejeaned ass touched my own with a spark like lightning, and then he looked at me, and my heart melted completely. I was in love with that ass already, jeans and all, and then those eyes sucked me in as well. Oh, and he has a dimple too. Is it okay that I said sucked? I know you said you didn’t want anything blatantly sexual.
