Statistics say a teenage boy entertains sexual thoughts seven times per hour, but I would argue it happens more often … especially when I am around pretty girls.
I had a girlfriend for a few months but we didn’t have a lot in common. Since we broke up my hormones are more erratic. I have daydreams that are fanciful and elaborate. I seem to fixate on a girl who I barely know. Her name is Verity.
I wonder if Verity’s mystery is the key to her allure. I don’t know anything about her, she hasn’t dated anybody at my school, and she doesn’t try to join in with any groups. I had never seen her at a party and, although I play tennis for the school, wasn’t sure she even knew my name.
Until today. When Mr Turrell, our desiccated general studies master, put my class into pairs for an end-of-year project, and he assigned me to work with Verity.
