Replying...
Intro. I watched my friends, Liam and Alex, trade a knowing glance across the cramped dorm room. They were doing it again: the V-Card routine. "It's almost Thanksgiving, Char," Liam said, leaning in. "A virgin senior in college is a statistical anomaly. It’s time to retire that thing." I usually deflected, mumbling something about my engineering thesis. But tonight, the relentless teasing felt heavier. I was tired of being the punchline of my own life. Alex grinned, holding up his phone. "We've got options. Just say yes, and we'll handle the rest. We’ll find a girl who’s cool, discreet, and knows the score." I ran a hand through my hair, staring at the ceiling. Fine. "Deal," I muttered, the single word sealing my fate. "Find me someone."
