Part 3
From that night on she ignored and avoided Zai. This time she felt as if she had a good reason. Zai was a total jerk to her. "And she says that I'm the one who wasn't real..."
Karyn convinced herself that Zai had taken advantage of her that night, used her for her own pleasure, and then cast her away. So how could she be mad now that she was actually making friends and having fun? She couldn't help that sometimes though, she thought about Zai's lips or hands, or breasts, her silky low voice, or the times she kissed her and set her body on fire. These thoughts gave Karyn a "special" feeling between her thighs. She didn't realize fully yet what meeting Zai had done to her. Zai had awakened Karyn's sexuality, forcing her to be in touch with the feelings of lust and sensuality that emerged in many young women her age that Karyn had once ignored. Every time she thought about Zai or got horny ('cause when she was horny, she automatically thought about Zai) she just got her attentions from elsewhere. She'd let David touch and kiss her and this would adequately sate her need affection. However, since she wasn't as comfortable with David as she was with Zai, and since he seemed only interested in pleasing himself (he kept trying to get "some" from her at every opportunity) she'd only let him go so far.
Besides, she knew how David was, she didn't want him to tell his friends she was a "ho". She knew his friends knew that she and David made out, but she didn't know how much more he'd tell them.
Karyn was getting ready for a date with David when Shatani asked, "So, what you and Dave gonna do tonight?"
"Movies." Karyn answered as she looked at herself in the mirror. She wore a tight black off the shoulder's sweater with a wide banded black tank-top that covered her bra straps. She turned around and briefly looked at her ass. Though she was slim she was shapely, and her ass was no exception in the short dark washed mini skirt she wore.
"You gonna give him some?"
Karyn turned around abruptly to face her roommate.
"What?" Shatani shrugged. "This ain't high school no more. You gotta get yours. I mean, are you still a virgin?"
Technically she was, but after being with Zai, she didn't really feel like one.
"I heard he really wants to get with you..."
From who? Karyn wanted to know but didn't ask.
"Plus he is your man anyway. Isn't he?"
Karyn shrugged, "I guess."
"So what's stopping you? You like him right? Me and Neesha aren't virgins. How are you gonna keep your man if you're still holding out?"
Karyn shrugged, "I don't hold out..."
"Oh yeah, how far do you let him get?" Shatani said sitting up on her bed.
Karyn thought about it. David could only get past second base.
"I thought so. Listen. I'm just saying, do what you want but this is college. You don't gotta try to be all miss goody two shoes anymore. It's all about hooking up and having fun."
Karyn thought about that. But would going all the way really be fun?
After the movies she and David went to get something to eat at a diner not far from campus. Surprisingly they were having a pretty good time as they conversed about the movie they watched. She had to admit that she felt kind of pressured by hearing Shatani go on about how she "heard" David wanted it. Would he still be with her if she didn't go all the way? She was known now as "David's Girl". It felt kind of good getting that type of recognition.
"How are you gonna keep your man if you're still holding out?"
"David can I ask you a question?"
"Shoot."
"Do you...like me?"
"Duh...what kind of a question is that? I'm with you."
"Well you're not messing around with anyone else right?"
"Why?" David said nervously sipping some soda, "You heard something?"
"No, is there something to hear?"
"What's this all about Karyn? You trying to tell me something?"
Karyn shook her head, "I'll be right back I have to wash my hands..."
On her way to the bathroom Karyn absentmindedly bumped into another girl, "Oh, I'm sorry-"
"Damn watch it klutz."
Karyn was surprised to see that the girl she had bumped into was the same girl she saw Zai with weeks ago.
She watched the girl walk away and saw her walk over to the door where Zai waited for her. They left. They must've stopped in just so she could use the bathroom. They were there only a few moments, but it was long enough to pull at Karyn's emotions. Karyn walked over to the nearest window to see if she could spot them. And she did. They were getting into Zai's car and driving away.
"Who is that bitch?" Karyn said under her breath. She got uncontrollably angry for a minute. She didn't understand Zai or her motives. Was she going out with that girl all along? Why'd she get so mad at Karyn in the first place if she was seeing this tart who's skirt was twice as short and tops three times as low?
"Talking about how I grind on every boy I meet..." Karyn muttered under her breath as she went into the bathroom. "She just doesn't want me to have any fun."
Later when she and David left the diner he asked, "You wanna go to The Point?"
Just like in the movies, the point was a make out spot that looked over the city. Tons of horny teenagers and college students parked there for romantic rendezvous'. She and David had never gone there before. She wondered he all of a sudden wanted to go?
"What's up at The Point?" She asked casually as he started the car.
"Me and you..." He said, "All that talk about whether I liked you and was messing with other girls had me thinking..."
"About what?"
"Come on," David laughed, "You know."
She could tell David was driving away from campus and was already halfway to The Point. He didn't even let her answer.
She shrugged inwardly thinking about Zai and that bitch that followed her around anywhere. Why shouldn't she get some affection too?
But looking at David tonight, she had a feeling that he wanted more than just affection.
Was she ready for that?
When they got to The Point, Karyn's anger fueled her sex drive more than it ever would. Because she stopped worrying about whether what she was doing was right or wrong, she didn't hold back. She thought about how pissed off Zai might be if she knew she were here with David. She seemed to get awfully mad about her "grinding" on these random faceless boys that she mentioned.
Either way, David benefited. Her touches and kisses were passionate. As they kissed and touched in her backseat, she found her hand against the hard bulge in David's pants.
"Oooh . . ." David said, "You never touched me there before. I thought you were trying to tell me something earlier..."
"What do you mean?"
Before she knew it David was all over her. He had her sweater up over her head and his hand between her thighs. She gasped as she felt his fingers pull aside the crotch of her panties to touch her soft pussy.
"Damn, you are wet!"
It didn't take much for Karyn to get wet, but David didn't know that. He interpreted this as her being just as ready for home base as he was. David was stronger than Karyn had anticipated. He had her on her back in one swift motion as he hovered above her, pulling at her panties until they were completely off.
Karyn was more nervous than excited. They'd barely been there for twenty minutes. This felt so rushed. She saw him tear something square shaped off in his teeth, heard the telltale sound of a wrapper being ripped.
"David?"
Karyn's skirt was over her hips and before she knew it, David was slicing his hardness into her unceremoniously. A tear escaped from her eye but she didn't want to cry. It hurt badly. He began to thrust in and out of her, "Oh my God, so fucking tight..." not noticing that her whimpers and moans were that of discomfort. He became far from gentle as the entire car rocked. Karyn's cries only turned him on more. He thought they were from being in the throes of passion but Karyn knew better as the tears streamed down her face. She was a small girl and didn't count on David being so large. If she knew she would've prepared herself, told him to be gentle...but she could think of nothing but the pain.
Finally David reached his climax loudly, screaming in the tight humid confines of the car. When he pulled out of her..."Damn, what is this shit? You didn't tell me you had your period?"
"I don't."
David looked down at her with wonder in his eyes, and then a huge smile spread across his face.
"Oh shit!"
When David made his discovery, he didn't ask her if she was okay or tell her that he was sorry for being rough he just said, "I just hit the jackpot."

When David dropped her off later he tried to kiss her, but she dodged it. He looked at her strangely but said, "Aight, well I'll call you tomorrow."
"Sure." She said getting out of the car. She was all sore on the inside and she nearly limped inside of the building. She was sure that David was loving her pain because it reminded him of the fact that he had just scored with a virgin.
She was tired, emotionally and physically. She didn't know that sex would be like that and would make her feel this way...sad, empty. It was over quickly and it really meant nothing. She could remember her mother's words in her head as she rode the elevator upstairs to her room, "You wait for someone who cares about you..."
So far she had lost her innocence to both a guy and a girl. Neither had cared about her, but at least with one she felt yearning for more rather than this emptiness. She didn't even like David that much. She just didn't want to be the only one in her group who didn't have a boyfriend. She didn't want to go back to being that loser who had just arrived on campus, doing laundry by herself.
But then again, she met Zai when she was that loser.
Bitterness washed over her as she realized just how confused and hurt she was. Why was she putting Zai on some pedestal in the first place? Zai never really cared. Did she? And besides, she didn't really like Zai, not like the way a girl would like a guy...
Or did she?
When she got in Shatani wasn't home...as usual. She undressed and took a shower, deciding she would go to bed; however once she was in bed, she couldn't sleep. She kept tossing and turning, all these questions in her head. Why did she like Zai? Did that make her a lesbian? How come she didn't get the same feeling with David as she did with Zai? Is it because she just liked Zai better or because she liked girls better? She was so confused she decided to take a walk.
It was chilly that night so Karyn wore a light jacket over the baby-t shirt and yoga pants she planned on wearing to bed. She began to walk around campus in the still of the night. Everything was quiet and she noticed just how beautiful the buildings were, how manicured the lawns were.
Just as she walked past the fitness center a group of girls came out. Among those was Zai who lugged around a gym bag on her shoulders as she parted ways with what must've been her teammates. Ordinarily Karyn would've walked on by fast to ignore and avoid, Zai but she couldn't help staring at the girl.
"She used to be my friend."
For some strange reason Zai stopped in her tracks, staring back at Karyn. Her hair was braided back in ornately designed cornrows, exposing even more of the beautiful features of her face.
They stared at each other for sometime, and Karyn could feel the anger melting away between the both of them at that moment. Finally Zai walked over to her, her hands shoved deep in the pockets of her jeans, the collar on her army style jacket flipped up.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"What are you doing out? It's cold."
"Just going for a walk."
"Okay well..."
"Can I walk with..." and "Do you want to walk with..." Were said in unison. They laughed at each other.
"I'll follow your lead," Zai said.
They walked on in silence until Zai asked, "Something's bothering you isn't it?"
"A lot of things..."
"Like?"
"Well, tonight David and I...we did it."
"Oh." Zai said trying not to react.
"But you don't care."
"Why do you say that?"
"'Cause you don't. But I guess you care about that girl..."
"What girl?"
Karyn reminded her of the girl she spotted her with.
"Oh Natalie..."
"You're with her?"
"I mess with her. I mean she wants me for herself but it's not going to happen."
"Well she's the only one I've seen you with."
"I'm discreet usually."
"So you see a lot of girls, yet you give me shit about allegedly 'grinding on every dude who pays attention' to me?"
Zai sighed, "I was tripping. I didn't mean half the shit I said. Especially didn't mean to call you freshman trash."
"So why did you?" Karyn stopped in her tracks to face Zai, who seemed a bit uncomfortable.
"I guess I got jealous. I saw you hanging out with a new crowd and changing your look and getting attention from all these dudes. And you seemed to love it. I always pegged you as the nice and shy type but you went from 0 to 60 in less than sixty seconds. I wasn't expecting that from you."
"So you expected me to walk around pouting while you treated me like I didn't exist?"
Zai rolled her eyes, "I know, I know..."
"Why were you avoiding me?"
"I don't know. I've just never had anything serious with anyone, and since you were so innocent and sweet and just the way I used to be..." she smiled to herself, "I could tell you wouldn't take what we did lightly. I didn't know if you were going to be attaching yourself to my hip or what. I was afraid."
"So you just ignored me? Pretend nothing happened?"
"I needed time just to get my thoughts together...I felt really guilty about it Karyn. But by the time I figured out that 'hey, maybe she just wants to be my friend', and was ready to come around again, you had seemed to totally change. You started hanging out with those girls...God...I always hate those type of girls..." She laughed, "And I felt foolish. Like I was putting so much thought into you and you and me and you didn't even care because I was just something you did because you were bored one Saturday night."
Karyn smiled, "I thought the same thing."
"Well you weren't." they both said in unison, and then laughed.
"I care about you, I just don't know how deep you want this to be Karyn. I don't want to hurt you."
"I don't know..." Karyn said, "But we could've talked about it. I mean I did miss you."
Zai grabbed her hand, "Okay...let's go talk about it at the dorm, it's freezing out here."
By the time they got back to Zai's suite it was almost midnight. The whole building was quiet on this weeknight, being that many people had early classes.
"You want something to drink?" Zai offered as she shrugged off her jacket.
"Yeah, sure." Karyn sat down, quickly warming up as Zai headed to the kitchen. Then she got an idea.
She stood up and went to the kitchen finding Zai at the counter about to fill glasses with cognac and orange juice. Zai looked over her shoulder and smiled, "Hey. I forgot you've never been in the kitchen."
"Yeah it's cute." Karyn said leaning against a table. The view from where she stood was incredible. She didn't realize just how perfect Zai's ass was in a pair of jeans. She wore nothing but a camisole along with them, revealing her sexy and toned shoulders. As Zai continued to busy herself, Karyn walked forward and put her arms around Zai's waist, pressing her lips to the back of her neck.
"I'm ticklish back there, watch out..." Zai said in her trademark husky silken voice.
"Oh really?" Karyn said, placing butterfly kisses on her neck and shoulders, as she slid her hands down the front of her thick thighs while pressing her pussy right against her butt.
"Oh so you wanna start something," Zai said as Karyn began grinding on her.
Zai turned around to face the girl behind her. "I missed you Mama..." She took Karyn's face gently in her hands and began to kiss her. Soon they were wrapping their arms around each other and running their hands all over each other's bodies as their tongues intertwined with one another. Zai broke away and turned away from Karyn briefly to pick up their drinks, "Take these and bring them to the bedroom."
"Well aren't you bossy?" Karyn joked as she took the glasses and did as she was told. As she waited in the bedroom, sipping her drink she felt that warm familiar tingling feeling. That empty turned off feeling she had with David was gone now. She juxtaposed all her times with David with few her brief encounters with Zai, and realized that there was more excitement, feeling and anticipation in encounters with the latter of the two.
When Zai came in, she carried a carton of orange juice and the small bottle of cognac.
"Just in case..." Zai said as she bounced onto the bed with Karyn, "Now tell me, about what happened with David."
"Well he just...was rough." Karyn rolled on her stomach until their bodies were touching.
"Didn't he know you were a virgin?"
"He does now. I made a blood stain in his car."
Zai laughed, "Virginity...I remember when I had that. Those were the days."
"You messed around with guys?"
"Yeah I wasn't always a big ol' dyke."
"Is that what you consider yourself?"
"I have more fun with girls than guys right now. I'll say that. But I haven't been in love with either."
"Oh..." Karyn said wondering if this statement really hurt her or not.
"My mom was pretty pissed about my Visa bill. Imagine if she knew I weren't a virgin anymore," Karyn said rolling over onto her back.
"Did he hurt it baby?" Zai asked, gently caressing the younger girl's cheek, giving Karyn shivers.
"Umm hmm..." she whined like a little girl.
Zai leaned over and kissed her hard, letting her hand cup one of Karyn's breasts, "Ummm...you want me to kiss it and make it better?"
Karyn was instantly wet. The thought of anyone, let alone Zai, kissing her "down there" was a foreign yet intriguing thought.
"Would you?"
"Hell yeah..."
Before Karyn knew it, Zai was on top of her, her body jackknifed between Karyn's thighs, pressing against her, breast against breast, pussy against pussy...
Zai had Karyn's shirt off by now, kissing, licking, sucking each firm globe, driving the younger girl crazy.
"I missed this so much," Karyn thought to herself as she felt instant pleasure radiate all over her body.
As Zai flicked her tongue over the girl's nipples she began leaving wet sloppy trail of kisses down her torso until she got to her pants.
"These," Zai said, "Have to come off..."
Karyn complied as they both worked her pants over her hips.
"And these," Zai said looking at her baby blue cotton panties, "Are gone too." Zai gripped the band of the panty's fabric between her teeth and began to pull them. Karyn lifted up to allow Zai to completely peel them from her ass. Before she knew it she was completely naked and vulnerable before Zai. Her body was on fire, and though she was nervous, it was an exciting nervousness that anticipated what would come next. Zai stood up, and peeled off her clothes slowly, sensually. Karyn sat up on her elbows watching, examining Zai's natural beauty. The subtle musculature of her toned flat stomach contrasted with the softness of her full perfectly round breasts. Her nipples stood at attention, making the girl on her bed salivate.
"You're shaved..." Karyn said, looking at her lover's smooth pussy.
Zai laughed, "You are too, when did that happen?"
Karyn just giggled as Zai crawled toward her on the bed. She kissed her again, letting Karyn revel in the sensation of their bare skin and pussies touching. Karyn wrapped her legs around the thicker athletic girl, subtly rubbing her pussy against hers.
Zai lifted up, hovering over Karyn so that she could suck a breast into her mouth while caressing the other one. Karyn felt her clit get harder as she heard Zai moan above her, hissing and arching her back.
"Oh shit baby that feels good..."
Karyn flicked her tongue rapidly going from nipple to nipple until Zai brought herself back down to reciprocate. Karyn felt her inner muscles tighten in pleasure as Zai made sloppy wet noises sucking on her hardened nipples.
"Yes...yes Zai yes..."
"You like that?"
"You know I do."
"Now it's time to kiss it and make it better."
Zai snaked her body down between Karyn's thighs until her face was only inches from her pussy.
"I'm about to make you feel so good Ma." Karyn kissed the soft skin of each inner thigh and then proceeded with her "kiss". She started by pressing her closed lips against Karyn's moist slit, making smooching noises as she kissed her slit from top to bottom, stopping to gently suck on her lower labia. Karyn moaned, never feeling anything like this in her life. "Oh my God..."
Karyn dragged her tongue into her slit, and snaked it inside of her, wiggling into her core. Warm moist juices flowed onto Zai's tongue as Karyn gasped for breath, moaning and clutching the sheets.
Zai proceeded to gently fuck Karyn with her tongue, stroking it in and out making Karyn's pussy feel ten times better than it did hours earlier when it got bruised and abused.
Suddenly she felt Zai part her lips and expose her hard clitoris. She thought her head would float away from her body once Zai's gentle tongue swirled around it, lapping around her moist folds and just brushing the tip with the tip of her tongue ever so slightly.
"Oh shit Zai!" Karyn screamed out.
Zai proceeded to flick the girl's clit with her tongue, hard and fast. She felt her scalp being dug into as Karyn attempted to grab a fistful of her hair, trying to push her face deeper in it. Zai took the cue and went down on Karyn's hard clit like a little dick, slurping and sucking and licking at the same time. She sucked hard, pulling and stretching it some with her lips as Karyn's hips bucked from the bed.
"Oh God, it's gonna happen Zai..."
Zai then began to flick at Karyn's clit maniacally with the tip of her tongue. Karyn arched her back and emitted a low growl from deep within her. Her eyes rolled back into her head as the flicking of Zai's tongue vibrated her clit.
"Ohhhhh Zaaaaaaiiiiiii..." Karyn cried out loudly as she began to cum. Wave after wave of pleasure literally engulfed her as her body helplessly contorted in the throes of rapture. Her thighs squeezed against Zai's ears as Zai began to suck on her pussy to ride out her climax. This only brought more shockwaves of orgasms as Karyn tried to hold on tight.
Zai continued to lick her until Karyn was sore and sensitive pushing her face away.
She crawled up to the head of the bed to kiss Karyn, "Hmm...that's me on your lips isn't it?"
"Nobody else." Zai answered, "Why don't you lick it off?"
Karyn smiled as she licked her own juices off of Zai's face, then kissing her deep and hard. When she broke away she said, "Thank you."
"For what?"
"For everything you've taught me. I don't know how to repay you..."
"Hush up with that..." Zai said holding the smaller girl closely, "you already have."
"I want to make you feel what you made me feel but I don't think I'm ready exactly for..."
She hushed the younger girl and rolled over, opening the drawer on her nightstand. Soon Karyn saw what she retrieved from there. She smiled.
"The pocket rocket?"
"Yep. You're gonna use this on me. But I like it a certain way. If you can get me off that way I'll be really impressed."
"I'll give it to you anyway you want it."
"Oooh." Zai smiled, "I like that."
Zai positioned her body over Karyn's so that her ass and pussy where in her face. She in fact hovered over Karyn's own pussy, but knew it was too sensitive to even touch after cumming that much.
"I want you to put it on my clit just like this with my ass in your face. Can you do that?"
Before she knew it, the buzz of the toy had filled the room and Karyn was teasing her lips.
"Ohhhh...you learn fast don't you"
Karyn dragged the buzzing toy over her lips back and forth until Zai's hips wiggled. She knew the girl wanted it against her clit so bad. Karyn was elated and intrigued, never having another woman's pussy so close to her face before. And at this rear view it seemed almost obscene. She felt an acute twitch in her pussy, surprise that she could still feel anything after cumming so hard. This was turning her on so much and it surprised her that she still had the potential to "get it up" so to speak after that climax sent from the heaven of Zaire's sweet lips.
She spread Zaire's lips and finally placed the toy directly on her clit. Zai reacted immediately, humping back and moaning and cursing, "yeah fuck my clit with it, yeah, you do my pussy so good Karyn..."
Karyn loved it when she talked dirty. She was motivated to make Zai climax as wonderfully as Karyn did herself. She poked and prodded at the swollen clit with the vibrating toy, sending tingling sensations and short bursts of pleasure throughout Zai's body.
Finally Karyn turned up the setting. She slowly inserted it into Zaire's core letting the buzz reverberate off of her inner walls, sending a pleasurable sensation to the ring of muscles around her anus.
"Oh shit Karyn...how did you know how to..."
Before the girl could finish her sentence, Karyn had pulled the toy out of her snatch, and it was now slick with Zai's juices. Tentatively she stuck out her tongue to taste the girl's juices. Then when she tasted the tangy sweetness of Zai, she began to suck it off with abandon, "Ummm..." she moaned as she made slurping sounds.
"Oh shit baby, what are you doing back there?"
Karyn gave a quick swat on Zai's ass and proceeded to plunge the toy in again, wetting the flat vibrating tip. Once it was wet she pressed the toy--which now buzzed at a fever pitch on the highest setting-against the tip of Zai's clit, against it in harder and deeper as the volume and pitch of Zai's moans rose along with her pleasure.
Zai gripped the sheets and cried out, "I'm cumming!" She squeaked and moaned in such a tortured way that Karyn almost thought she was in pain. The fact that she wasn't astounded her. Her pussy became wet just from hearing Zai come this way. She had never heard the girl come like this before.
When Zai was finished she collapsed on top of Karyn in the same position, exasperated. Karyn turned off the toy and began to rub and squeeze her ass. It was so smooth and taut. She ran her hands up the dip in her back and then back over her hips. She loved touching Zai's beautiful body.
When Zai came to her senses, she changed positions to rejoin Karyn. Kissing her on the lips she said, "Wow. That's all I can say right now. I didn't know you had it in you kiddo."
"I want to please you Zai," Karyn said. "I know you said it's not important and I know I'm not as experienced as you but..."
Zai hushed her, "Don't worry about that now. We got a lot of time to get you up to speed."
"I know but I just think so many things when I'm with-" Karyn was interrupted by another kiss.
"We'll figure everything out, we've got time. I know what you're thinking. But you don't have to choose anything right now. Okay?"
Zai kissed Karyn on the forehead and gathered her close in her arms. And sure enough Karyn was calmed. Soon she was drifting of to sleep.

The next afternoon as Karyn walked across the quad she spotted her roommate and her other friends. She walked over and said, "Hey, what's up?"
The girls all looked at each other and giggled.
"What's so funny?"
"So how was it?" Shatani asked.
Karyn blushed a deep reddish pink. She knew what this was about. Why would they be up here laughing and giggling about something like her losing her virginity? Why would David tell everyone? He probably told one of his boys and it spread like wildfire. This was so embarrassing.
"Are you going to pay to get his car cleaned?" Neesha asked.
Karyn snapped, "You know what? He should be paying me. He was wack. Totally wack."
The girls looked at her with shock on their faces, one of them gasping. It was almost comedic.
"And what the hell are you all laughing and giggling about anyway? Geez. Grow the fuck up. You've got nothing else to do but gossip about other people's lives because you don't have your own..." After Karyn walked a way in a huff she heard a voice right behind her.
"Girl, why you tripping so hard?" Shatani ran to keep up with her.
"Why does everyone have to know everyone else's business? What do you all take me for?"
"Oh shit...I know why you're mad. I'm sorry it was just a joke. You know we cool right?"
"What?" Karyn turned on her heels and stood her ground.
"It's not even that serious..."
"What isn't?"
"You don't know?" Shatani said with a dumbfounded look on her face.
"No, but I want to know now."
Shatani nervously laughed, "See everyone had this little joke that I could turn you into 'something' before the end of the year..."
"Something like what?"
"You know, I sort of told everyone-I mean when I first saw you trying to change your image-that I could make you a hottie, and more than just a blip on the social radar."
Karyn furrowed her brows as she tried to make sense of this.
"And then I heard from Hussan who heard from Melly who heard from Dana, that Dave was checking for you and wanted me and Neesha to hook it up. And then there was a joke like you know...like you'd do whatever I'd say. And a couple of nights ago David had bet that I couldn't make you give it up to him...and then we all found out last night..."
"What!" Karyn screamed, "How could you? I'm supposed to be your friend not a game!"
"Karyn, it was just a joke!" Shatani yelled back with a smile on her face.
"So now I'm a joke. Everyone knew everything but me..." Karyn shook her head.
"I didn't tell him you were a virgin though. I thought he knew...but he didn't...congratulations though girl, he said your shit was the bomb though..."
Karyn wanted to slap that stupid smile off of Shatani's face.
"At least you know you got your man."
Karyn looked behind her to see Shatani's friends all laughing and joking, probably about her. She shook her head, ashamed of herself for letting all of this happen.
"Go over there with them and laugh it up Shatani," Karyn said as she began walking away, "You're as just as big of a joke as I am."
Shatani stood behind with a look of disbelief on her face, "No. She. Didn't!"
Karyn walked into David's dorm, fists clenched and face red. A group of his friends sat around in the lounge.
"Where's David?" She asked.
Before they could answer he did, "I'm here Ma, what's up?"
She turned around to face him and she yelled in his face, "It's fucking over! You disgust me and I hate you!"
She turned to storm away but he grabbed her arm. She heard his friends make childish teasing comments in the background.
"What? What you talking about?"
"You know what I'm talking about. I' m not just some chicken head you can fuck and tell the whole world about. What kind of loser, plots on my pussy all semester?"
His friends roared in laughter and teasing in the background. David was getting angry and embarrassed, "Listen bitch you just can't come up in here and..."
"Fuck you and your wack ass dick game!" Karyn said shoving him away from her and storming out of the dorm.
As Karyn stormed through campus, she tried hard not to cry. People were waving to her and saying hello but she was ignoring them. All she had wanted to do was talk to one certain person.
Just when she thought she couldn't get any more upset, she found Zai with that girl Natalie again. She found them at the back of the fitness center. Natalie was all over Zai, her arms wrapped around her waist as she had Zai pinned against the wall.
Karyn didn't run off this time. She walked towards them, locking eyes with Zai as she approached.
She stood a few feet away from them, face red, eyes puffy, fists clenched.
"Natalie, I gotta go..." Zai said pushing the girl from off of her.
"Why?"
"My friend is here, I need to talk to her."
Natalie turned around and put on a sour face when she saw who the friend was, "Oh. Her."
Karyn was in no mood, she had to stop herself from verbally checking this girl.
Zai walked over to Karyn and put a hand on her shoulder, "What's wrong?"
Karyn tried to control her emotions but the tears came streaming down her face. She started to sob softly. Zai wrapped her arms around the girl's small frame. "It's okay baby doll. It's okay."
"No It's not...I'm stupid..." She cried into Zai's bosom, knowing that Natalie was probably looking on in perverse curiosity.
"What happened?"
"I hate them..." She sobbed. "They played me. I thought we were cool..."
Zai didn't exactly know what was going on, but she had a general idea that it had something to do with those so-called friends of hers. "Whatever they did, they're stupid little kids. And you're too good for them." She said holding Karyn tighter.
"I'm a joke to them. They bet my virginity. They played Barbie with me, just to see if they could..." she sobbed.
"Seriously?" Zai said as Karyn continued to explain the whole story. She felt anger and nausea in the pit of her stomach. She couldn't believe how they had humiliated Karyn. "Now I'm one big joke."
"I know you're upset now Karyn, but I promise this will pass. Once you figure out what's important to you no one will be able to play you ever again."
Karyn's sniffling stopped. Zai's words were exactly what she needed to hear. "It's just that they were never really my friends. I never really had anyone here."
"You have me." Zai said looking into Karyn's eyes, "I'm here."
"But will you stay? Are you really my friend?"
She kissed Karyn on the forehead, "You got me. I promise."
"Hey!" Natalie called out.
"Didn't I say I was busy right now?" Zai said in a slightly annoyed tone as she still held on to Karyn.
"So is she the reason you won't be with me? You with her now?" Natalie said, one hand on her hips.
When Natalie asked this, Zai looked into Karyn's eyes, raising one eyebrow. Karyn smirked.
"Good question." Zai said.

The End
