maddie:
she’s right, tho. if yr gonna have sex with someone, you should be able to talk to them about it.
zoegirl:
and another hot tip: she said to consider the use of “lubricants,” but never vaseline.
zoegirl:
am i really going to be using … lubricants?
mad maddie:
i dunno. r u?
zoegirl:
AND she asked me if i’d had any abortions, and if so, how many.
zoegirl:
i’m 17! are there really 17-year-olds out there who’ve had multiple abortions?
mad maddie:
i’m sure there are. depressing, isn’t it?
zoegirl:
angela and i saw this one couple out in the waiting room. they were about our age, and the guy was holding the girl’s hand and she was crying. it made me wonder if … you know. if that was what she was there for.
mad maddie:
at least the guy came with her
zoegirl:
true
mad maddie:
but yr not gonna get preggo, cuz yr going on the pill.
zoegirl:
right. RIGHT. i start the first sunday after my next period, which should be in a week or so. and once i’ve started, we’re supposed to wait a month to be safe.
mad maddie:
you’ve waited this long, what’s another month?
zoegirl:
well, that’s kind of how i feel, to tell you the truth.
zoegirl:
my counselor-lady said there might be side effects that come with taking the pill, like weight gain, moodiness, and “spotty darkening of the skin.” doesn’t that sound lovely?
mad maddie:
lucky u
zoegirl:
i told angela that part, and she turned pale. she was all, “why is it always the girls who get stuckwith this crap? why can’t the GUYS get spotty darkening of the skin?!”
mad maddie:
ah, angela, how i love her
mad maddie:
alexis winthrop came up to me today and asked if it was true that she’s after doug, btw.
zoegirl:
oh great
mad maddie:
i told her no, of course
zoegirl:
i don’t understand. it’s like 1 little seed got planted, and now it’s growing into this huge thing.
mad maddie:
ppl like gossip, especially when it’s something bad.
zoegirl:
not me! angela and i made a pact that if anyone says anything, we’re just gonna ignore it.
mad maddie:
it doesn’t bother you?
zoegirl:
are you kidding?
zoegirl:
i asked kristin point blank if she talked about angela and doug with anyone else, and she swore up and down that the only comment she made was that one to me.
mad maddie:
what about paige? did you ask her about it?
zoegirl:
no. i almost did, but sitting there in english during the actual moment, i felt too ridiculous.
zoegirl:
it’s all so stupid, i figured just let it go.
mad maddie:
makes sense.
zoegirl:
you DO know i didn’t say any of that stuff, right? about angela flirting with doug?
mad maddie:
zoe, of course i know that
zoegirl:
i mean, i might have *thought* she was being flirty, just for a sec. but i never said so out loud.
mad maddie:
i know
mad maddie:
i’ve noticed she HAS toned down the flirtation, tho. like today, she basically ignored him.
zoegirl:
yeah, i noticed that too. part of me feels bad, but part of me’s glad.
zoegirl:
although what am i saying? she’s going out with logan, for heaven’s sake.
mad maddie:
oh, right, he’s a great deterrent
