“Nope.” He said.

I looked at him strangely, “Seriously?”

He smiled shyly, “Seriously.”

I couldn’t help but wonder if he was just telling me the thing I wanted to hear. It was hard imagining Troy a virgin.

I was quiet. The air around us was awkward. Not the usual peaceful quiet we had.

Finally I spoke up, “Well, that’s good to know.”

He sighed, “Yeah.”

Awkwardness was in the air.

“I think I’m going to go,” Troy said quietly.

Why was this so awkward?

Finally I spoke up, “Troy don’t go.”

He smiled, “Ok.”

“I’m sorry for being awkward. I can’t imagine you being a virgin.”

He laughed, “I know.”

I laughed and knew the awkwardness was gone.
