			Kyle's brow furrowed in curiosity.  "Your... 'friend' had a strange suggestion for helping you deal with a breakup.  Sending you here."  He gestured around.  "It seems rather out of your element.  Unless they think they know you better than you know yourself."  He stopped, having probed the unknown friend's motives as far as he dared, or wanted.  After a pause, he looked back at Rowan.<br/>
<br/>
"So," he started with a little hesitation, "does that mean you're saving everything for that special one?  You've never done... any fooling around, of any sort?"  He was fighting mixed feelings about this new girl:  attraction to her, she was hot enough, definitely, but also a bit of protectiveness, as if she was going to be overwhelmed by the surroundings.

</blockquote><br/><br/>She giggled. "Yeah, she's sort of a kook. Kinda' hard to meet someone that's<i>worth</i>meeting at a place like, well, this." She gestured to their surroundings. Then, blushing a bit, quickly added. "W-Well besides you, Kyle!" She looked very flustered.<br/><br/>"I-I-I mean, you're really nice, and stuff. Definately worth meeting and talking to and...." She groaned, hiding her face in her palm, and a flow of hair that fell down her shoulders. "You get what I mean...." She swallowed, heart fluttering. Hearing his next comment, she looked up again, still red-cheeked and almost panicing. "Y-Yeah.... I've never really even..... Dated anyone until, well,<i>him</i>." SHe said, giving a hand gesture as she related back to her ex. "I mean...." She cleared her throat, hesitating again, "I've never even... well, had my first.... kiss... yet." She grew redder, a studied the carpet, heartbeat echoing in her mind.<br/><br/><i>God,</i>she thought,<i>This is nuts! Like he'd be attracted to someone like you! Plus, you <b>just freaking met him!</b></i>She shifted again, trying to regain some sort of dignity. It didn't work, she could feel her face burning, imagining her skin as a bright red by now. She gave a quiet groan, closing her eyes.<i>Ugh.... This makes me feel like such a..... whore. Wanting to have a connection with the furst fucking guy I meet here.</i><br/><br/>She opened her eyes, looking a mix of frustraition and sadness as she reflected on her ex's last words to her.<br/><br/><i>"You'll never be anything but a slut! Every girl here is. You're no fucking different from them, and I'll bet you'll screw the first fucking guy at that stupid party! You should've just submised and accepted your place and givin it to me when you had the chance. Now your nothing." He gave a cruel laugh, "Oh, too late. You never <b>stopped</b> being a looser!"</i><br/><br/>Rowan gripped the couch in one hand. "Maybe he was right..." She muttered quietly, almost grimmacing in sorrow as she tried to keep more heart-broken tears from her eyes. What did she ever see in him, anyways.... He was always so cruel...<br/><br/>She brushed a hand over her sleeved arm, wincing as she felt the bruise.<br/><br/>(Oooh, sudden twist!)<br/>(Derp<img alt=":p" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" data-shortname=":p" loading="lazy" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p"/>)
