My First Time
Female • 16 years old • Acworth, GA

My next-door neighbor and I played pool for "points" in high school. Whoever won the game got a point. You could use points for certain sexual favors.
We did this for a few months, using them for oral sex and making out. The funny thing was that I was the one who finally got up the guts to really cash in. I drove to the next county to buy condoms, sure that if I bought them at the local store I would run into someone I knew.
I wasn't really sure how to say what I wanted. He played guitar, so I bought him a new set of strings and put a condom in the box. I stuck a note to it saying, "You know you owe me." That was it. We had sex (both of our first times) in my room after school the next day. My parents got home ten minutes after he left.

"Between my shyness, low self-esteem, and identity as 'the smart one,' I'd never even been kissed..."

Oh man, I wonder what my high school experience would have been like if the slightly predatory, slightly older girl next door hadn't moved away when I was 12.
i love stories about neighbors seeing as i have recently started hooking up with mine after 13 years of living next door.
I think comments fishing for more details sound kinda' pervy.
short but sweet!
This had the potential to be a good read, it could have had a few surprises in it. But it's so short, it ends where it should have begun. What was his reaction? Was he surprised? Was he more nervous than you? How many points did you need to cash in? Was there a point system? *sigh* so many questions!
I do wish I was this bold in my younger years. Life would have been different.
If I didn"t see the header I would have thought this was a homosexual first time.
Possible fake: Acworth is on or very near the borders of like four counties.
Cute, but indeed too short. Thanks for sharing anyway.
Now you say something
