1 July 2016 — 01/07/2016

This is a countdown until Enzo is supposed to take someone's virginity.

So the count down officially starts now!

"Why do you have the same outfit as me?!"

"I wish I could participate this year.”

"I cannot wait to find out who the chosen girl is."

"I just have a feeling it is going to be me."

I mentally laughed as I watched West Bridge high turn into a high school of desperate young girls. Mostly every girl was wearing the shortest dress, shirts that could pass as bras, shorts that could be classified as underwear and too much makeup caked onto their face, that it seemed as if they had just finished having a cake fight with themselves and of course every girl was gazing with such admiration at the it crowd.

Not that the it crowd were complaining, oh no, they treasured these sort of attention...well mostly the guys. The girls were not too thrilled with them ogling at 'their boyfriends'.

More like their friends with benefits but hey who am I to judge at what their friendship entitled?

After all, today was the day that everyone looked forward to. Beside this year being our senior year it was the day when one unlucky or lucky virgin got chosen to take part in Project 1000 School Virgin.

No wonder why every single pathetic girl was dressed as hookers getting ready for their next client at the end of the street as if that would have automatically made them the chosen girl for 2016 — by dressing up like escorts.

Every girl wanted to be the chosen one, wait let me rephrase that statement every insane girl was ecstatic at the thought of becoming the chosen one to take part in this stupid game.

Everyone saw this game as a form of entertainment that kept them from getting bored at school. However, this game was not like any type of other game, oh no this was a more sinister type of game.

The reason as to why this game was not just an ordinary type of game but a game I would personally classify as the rape game was because every once a year a member of the 'it' crowd would randomly chose a virgin girl to take part in Project 1000 School Virgin.

The girl had no choice, but to take part in the game, either she plays the game or be played. One way or the other the chosen girl had to lose her virginity hence why I called it the rape game.

It was basically pressuring you into having unwanted sex to save your reputation or the little reputation you had.

The game lasted three months. Three months to take the chosen girl's virginity. Three months for the chosen girl to lose her virginity and the worst part of that stupid game was that the guy had to have proof of taking the girl's virginity, in other words — the guy had to record the whole process of them having sex.

They might as well be Kim Kardashian with her sex video, after all, it would be available for the whole word to see.

This year chosen guy to take any random girl's virginity was Lorenzo Albero.

Lorenzo Albero was the ultimate bad boy of the town if there was an award for player of the year he would no doubt be the one to have received it.

It was hard to understand why anyone could ever like him. A guy who only treated girls as objects when needed for pleasure — who in their right mind could ever love that?

Yet, when everyone heard he was taking part in this year game, every taken/single/ virgin and non—virgins girls were thrilled to know that Lorenzo was taking part.

As we know it would not be true game if there was no prize to be won. Well lucky for everyone there was one and the prize for taking the chosen girl's virginity was popularity, however, with Lorenzo, I did not understand as to why he would volunteer to take part after all, he was already popular and had every girl he could ever want available to him and they sure as hell wouldn't have minded careless sex.

However, If the chosen guy could claim the chosen girl's virginity under one month, that guy would automatically become worshiped by all, a legend for all eternity but if he was not able to take the girl's virginity at all...then...I actually did not know what was to happen.

It had never happened before and it surely wouldn't start with Lorenzo, but he might be the first to take the girl's virginity under one month though, after all, he was sex on legs.

So now you understand why I couldn't understand why anyone would be happy to be 'the chosen girl'. It might be all about the fame or to brag that you had sex with the chosen guy.

It all seemed pathetic to me why anyone would want to lose their virginity to a game. I strongly believed that your first time was meant to be with someone who you actually loved and not some guy who wanted to claim your virginity for the sake of winning a game and gaining popularity from that.

"Alex!" I heard a familiar voice yell my name out from across the field. I quickly rushed into the person arms known as my best friend.

I shrieked, "Sophia! When did you get back? I thought you are only coming back next week."

She laughs quietly, her baby blue eyes sparkling with excitement. "I wanted to surprise you...so um surprise." She gave me a lopsided grin and waved her arms in the air like some lunatic.

I cracked a smile at her childish antics and immediately lost it when I realized something. "But you are not safe here. Did you forget about Project 1000? It begins today and you are not safe with being a virgin and all,"

I ran my hand through my thick dark brown hair and winced a bit when a fingernail got stuck in one of the many knots in my hair.

Sophia averted her gaze while she chewed nervously on her bottom lip, her cheeks turning a bright pink color. She tried angling her face away from me in hopes that I would not have noticed the sudden change of color in her face. But I did.

"About that...I lost my virginity," she muttered hurriedly.

My jaw dropped in bewilderment; I was utterly baffled by the situation at hand. No, maybe I heard wrong, yes that must be it.

"You lost your virginity!" I screeched in horror as I tried composing myself when she repeated what she had previously said about her losing her virginity.

She made a ssh gesture with her index finger, for me to quiet down. "You are speaking too loud."

I ignored her gesture for me to keep quiet and started assaulting her with thousands of questions. "What do you mean you are no longer a virgin? Who did you lose it to? When did you lose your virginity?”

She sighed whilst grabbing my arm in a tight grip, her nails digging into my skin as she pulled me towards the nearest bathroom.

Once we were inside the locked cubicle, she began her explanation.

She took in a deep breath. "I am no longer a virgin meaning I had sex with someone and I lost my virginity during the holiday before senior year," she answered my questions, one by one but I did not miss the fact that she failed to mention who was the guy that took her virginity.

I raised my eyebrows. "And who had the pleasure of taking your virginity?"

She waved her hand dismissively as she tried to avoid answering the question. "That's a story for another day."

"No, tell me. I need to know who had the audacity to take my best friend's virginity without consulting me," I insisted.

If I didn't know any better I would have believed her when she promised to tell me another day but this was my best friend of ten years and I knew she was lying...she was not planning on telling me.

"No"

"Yes"

"I said No"

"Y—"

*rrrrriiiiinnnnnggggg*

"Oh, would you look at that. There goes the bell, I really need to go." Sophia hastily leaves the bathroom to who knew where.

*~*

'I hope I get picked'

'I wonder who is going to be the lucky girl'

'The prize is Lorenzo Albero'

'I want to be the chosen girl'

That was all every girl was talking about, wondering who was going to be the chosen girl, hoping they were the lucky girl and there was even a girl who chanted a prayer, hoping she got picked.

"Can you believe them?" Sophia inquired, staring at the girls who were rushing out of class to get to the cafeteria where the chosen ceremony was taking place.

I frowned my eyebrows in irritation when this girl shoved me out of the way and did not bother to say 'sorry'. "I know right, they are so pathetic."

"Do you think we should go and check out who is going to be the chosen girl?" Sophia questioned as she looked ahead at the doors of the cafeteria where everyone was heading to.

I nod my head absentmindedly and we began to make our way through the hallway.

We were the last one to arrive at the noisy cafeteria, where everyone was gathered around a table where Lorenzo, Jordan, and Brandon stood.

Brandon made a gesture with his hand, which made everyone instantly stop speaking when he saw me enter the cafeteria.

"Today is the day that you all have been waiting for, the day of the start of Project 1000 School Virgin, the day where one of you lucky virgins will have the time of your life with Enzo Albero.” Brandon abruptly stops his speech and looked to his right where his twin brother Jordan was trying to whisper something in his ears.

Jordan finally gave up when his brother couldn't comprehend what he was trying to say. "Okay guys they have been a slight change to Project 1000 School Virgin, instead of us picking a girl randomly out of the box we are going to hand pick girls w—" before he could finish whatever he was going to say all the girls screamed out loud in excitement.

Brandon immediately quieted down the crowd and gestured for his brother to continue.

Jordan continued, "as I was saying there is going to be a slight change. The members of the it crowd have nominated four girls who are going to stand a chance of taking part in Project 1000 School Virgin. We are now going to be calling out the four girls who are nominated and then we will randomly select one girl from the four. Brandon drum roll please."

Brandon started to drum on top of a chair that he dragged onto the top of the table.

Everyone waited anxiously for the first person name to be called even I wanted to know who the four nominated girls were.

Jordan begins to open up a page, which contained the four girls names that might be losing their virginity to Lorenzo, "Jessica Williams, Mackenzie Johnson, Hanna Price and the last nominated girl is Alexandria Smith!"

Jessica Williams that was a girl in my science class.

Mackenzie Johnson a total bad ass, but did not quite fit in the 'it' group more of a loner.

Hanna Price she's the definition of a good girl, A's in all her subjects.

And the final one Alexandria Smith sh—

"They called your name!" Sophia screeched her eyes wide in horror.

Alexandria Smith, Alexandria that was the last girl they called. My name was Alexandria Smith.

I turned to look at Sophia's direction in horror. "D—did they call my name?"

She nodded her head furiously.

"Can all the four girls come up here?!" Brandon demanded searching the crowds until his eyes landed on me.

"Alex you need to go," Sophia muttered softly as she gently pushed me forward.

I shook my head furiously. There was no way I was going up there.

"You know you might not even be the chosen one, you are just nominated. What I am trying to say is, what are the chances that they are going to pull your name out of that box," Sophia whispered gently. She was right what's the chance that I am going to be the chosen girl? There were three other girls.

I slowly walked up to where they were standing. I tried so hard not to make eye contact with anyone, not that I am shy or anything. I was the opposite of shy, but when you have hundreds of eyes on you, you were bound to be a bit nervous and I was positive that the girls below us were shooting us with deadly death glares.

"Now that you are all here, Enzo will be the one to randomly pick a name from the box. Enzo are you ready?" Jordan questioned, staring at Lorenzo, who had a bored expression on his face like he had no care in the word.

Lorenzo walked up to Brandon and blindly shoved his hand in the box.

1 second

2 second

3 second

4 second

He took out the name from the box and slowly unfolded the page that had the name of the chosen girl. Every girl leaned forward in anticipation.

Please don't let it be me, please God I know I don't go to church anymore, but I will. Every single Sunday just please don't let my name be on that page.

Brandon leaned over Lorenzo's shoulder and took a look at the page and smirked in my direction.

"We have 2016 chosen girl...Alexandria Smith!"
