NovelEnglishWhat Are Friends For? EP2
"I know," she said, producing a plastic container with two sandwiches in it. "Just like | know Pastrami and cheese
is your favorite."
"Spicy mustard?" My mouth watered as | took the container.
"But of course!"
As Sam pulled out a bottle of Mountain Dew and a banana, | removed my work gloves and chugged half the Yoo-
hoo.
"Wow, these go down too easy," | said.
"Kind of like Jen," Sam replied, kicking her sneakers off and stretching her long legs out in front of me. "And go
ahead and finish it. | brought you two."
"Jen's not a slut, Sam. | told you we've been dating six months and we haven't done anything but make out."
"Didn't say she went down on you," Sam said, just loud enough forto catch it.
"Really, Sam?"
"Really, Justin." She paused, peeled the banana, and shoved it in her mouth, bobbing her head up and down as if
she were blowing it. Then she winked. "Just like that to anyone that pays attention to her."
| didn't answer right away. The sight of Sam easily slipping most of the banana down her throat had caught me
by surprise. Not that it should have. Sam not only dressed like a guy, but also had a dirtier mouth and mind then
most of the ones | knew. She ruined the image by biting the tip off.
Collecting myself, | went on the defensive. "Look, Jen's like me. She was raised to take sex seriously and that's
why we haven't done anything yet. She thinks you should only have sex once you really care about the other
person." "She's a very caring person."
"Knock it off, Samantha!" She was pissingoff at this point.
"Samantha?" She grinned. "You never callthat. Truth hurt?"
"Why do you care? You've done nothing but rag on Jen since | started going out with her. You say she's stuck up
and slutty and you barely know her. What's your problem?"
"That | care about you and think you're getting used." Sam took the last bite of the banana and tossed the peel
into her backpack. "Look at today. She's this big green freak and says Earth Day is such a big deal, but you're
here and where is she?"

"Yeah, she's spreading all right. My sister says her ex-boyfriend is part of the cleanup. I think he's ..." She
snapped her fingers. "At the beach. You can think what you want, but there's no way in hell she isn't fucking Rob
and who knows who else. She's using you, Justin, but | guess you'll have to find that out yourself."

| stared at her and frowned. | had heard Jen's ex, Rob, was sniffing around, but whenever | mentioned it she got
mad and said | was acting jealous and shouldn't worry. When I'd pushed, Jen had brought up Sam and how much
t| spent with her and how she wasn't jealous.
Watching Sam unwrap a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and begin eating, | recalled how | had told Jen that
Sam and | had been best friends since middle school, and that we'd never been more.
Jen had insisted that was because that's how | saw it, claiming Sam had a thing for me, that | was too naive to
see it. Just like Sam was telling| was naive thinking Jen was waiting for the right twith me.
| was well aware | tended to take people at face value and was a little too trusting; but in these cases | was right.
Sam was a good friend and had zero interest in being anything but, just as | had no interest in her as a girl.
| was also sure Jen wasn't fucking around. Unlike me, Jen had been with someone before, and most likely more
than just Ron. Then again, | was the only person my age | knew who hadn't been with anyone.
But after my mother had discovered my asshole father had been fucking anything in sight for years, she raised
I not only agreed with her, but swore to her that | would be a better man than my father and would wait until |
met someone special. Not that it had been easy. Although I'd never met anyone who | had a serious interest in
until Jen, there had been a few girls who'd made it more than clear we could have sfun.
Sometimes | wondered if | wasn't being an idiot waiting, passing up on schances for a good time. But my
mother was thrilled with my promise to make my first tmeaningful and that had pretty much trapped me
into keeping my word. There were times | thought | could just fool around and she would never know, but that
would makea lying dog no better than my father.
How many women you screwed didn't make you a man; keeping your word to someone you loved did. And |
swore to keep my vow and not be a dog in heat. | did, however, know enough not to tell anyone. That didn't
mean | had to advertise the fact | was a virgin, though. Any girl who had been interested in just a good time, |
made up the excuse | was dating someone. And | was way too smart to tell any of the guys.

knew everything about me, just as |

Sam pretty much marched to the beat of her own drummer dressing like a tomboy and watching football and
bad horror movies while spending more taroundand my friends than the other girls.
I, on the other hand, wore brand nclothes and took a lot of care with my appearance. Enough for Sam, along
with my mother, to teasingly refer toas a 'pretty boy' who generally tried to put myself out there as cool.

She never attended any school dances and even when we went swimming a few times she wore shorts and a T-
shirt. That was pretty much the only tI'd seen her legs, which although on the slender side, looked pretty
good.
| went back to looking at the tattoo. It was colorful and in what | considered a sexy spot, yet she rarely even wore
sandals to show it off. Her toenails were painted black, and | noticed a silver ring around her middle toe.
Sam had once commented she had a boyfriend who liked her feet. | idly wondered if that was why she had
gotten the tattoo and wore the ring. Not wanting to look like | was staring, | glanced up.
