Beginner's Love

"Joel is seventeen, shy, and inexperienced. Leda has a lot to teach him."

I know that practice makes perfect, but what about the first time?

I'm pretty shy with girls -- I never know what to say to them. Maybe that's why I was so surprised when Leda called me. My best friend Berger and I met her at a movie, and Berger was flirting with her like creazy. I didn't even think she noticed me.

But she called me, and we've been seeing each other ever since. I guess we're in love. I want to go to bed with her, and I can tell she wants to, too. But I'm a little nervous about it.

You see, Leda is more experienced than I am. She had a boyfriend who was much older, and she went pretty far with him (though not all the way).

Of courser, I've thought about making love a few thousand times. But for practical purposes, you'd have to call me a beginner...
