Or maybe you think I can teach you something. About sex, I mean.” The nakedness of her body didn’t bother her, but she shivered slightly from the nakedness of her soul. “I don’t know what you think I am.”

I only have a few friends, and honestly you’re the only girl I’ve even thought about this way since I was fifteen.” He looked away from her, staring at the wall for a few moments. “I didn’t know you thought that little of me,” he said quietly, not looking at her.
“I don’t think little of you! I don’t /know/ enough, and you’re … you’re in my bed, expecting I don’t know what.” she flared. “What do you mean your dad locked you in a freezer?”
