Novel excerpts: Loss of innocence

by Valarie Topp

Created on: July 07, 2008

I looked at Peter with my eyes half closed, and he gently kicked me. "Open your eyes". "Do you know how many girls at school would love to be where you are right now"? I didn't respond verbally, but I did open my eyes wider. Peter was the most handsomest
guy in my eleventh grade class, and I almost fell out of my chair when he
ask me to come to his house to study, but now that I'm here, I don't see


what the big deal really is. Sure, his mom and dad have money, and he
drives a drop top Benz to school, but I'm not impressed with him. In fact,
I want to go home. I should have never came here in the first place, but
my best friend Traci said that I would become the coolest girl in
school if I come home with Peter. I believed her at first, but now
I'm starting to feel a little stupid for coming to his house. Sure, he
promised me a great time, but I could have went to the mall after
school to have a great time. "Hey girl..........Are you even listening to me?"
"I said it's time to take off your clothes, so that I can give you
what you came here for" Peter had a realloy sick look on his face, and
it made me scared. "Peter, I think that I should leave now" I stood up to walk
towards the door, but Peter pushed me back onto his bed. "You are not going
anywhere girl" "I brought you here to have some fun, and you told me that
you were bored, and that you wanted to have some fun" "So, don't try
to back out now" I wanted to cry, but I kept a straight face and tried
reasoning with Peter. "I just want to go home Peter" He did'nt want to,
but he moved out of my way. "I'm going to tell everyone at school how much
of a big assed baby you are" I sighed a sigh of relief, and walked out of
his house. I was so happy to be free I walked the entire 26 blocks
back to my house. I smiled and danced all the way home. People young
and old looked at me like I was crazy, but I didn't care.
I almost made the biggest mistake of my life with Peter. 'Thank GOd' , I
was smart enough to leave before it was too late.
I now see and understand what my mother told me about losing my innocence
before I was ready. Listening to my friends at school almost cost me my
virginity, but the words of my mother stayed in the back of my head, and I
finally heard them.
As soon as I made it home, I searched my entire house looking for my mother.
I found her drinking a cup of coffee at our kitchen table. I ran over to her,
and hugged her as tight as I could. "Thanks mom" I left her in the kitchen with
a stunned look on her face, but I didn't say anything else to her.......................
