I'll admit, I was raised in a sheltered Christian home. Now, that didn't stop me from delving deep into the internet to sate my curiosities when they arose, but it did prevent me from acquiring a lot of practical experience in things deviant from the faith, namely sex. I was also raised in a Christian private school with a strict dress code and many rules meant to dissuade the male and female students from procreating with one another before marriage, but when you lump dozens of hormone-crazed teenagers together, that's something you can't exactly control.
Don't get me wrong, most of us had been indoctrinated well enough to keep it in our pants through high school, but some of us were of a mind that as long as we waited until we were adults, we would be fine. Others considered a relationship in which they assumed they were going to progress to marriage was as good as a marriage, since that's what they were planning on anyway. It was during my tenure there, in my final year, that I lost my purity. My holiness, if you will. To be plain: my virginity.

It was April. My class of five had just returned from the capital for Spring Break, not a week earlier and had been readjusting well enough, but I was having trouble focusing. You see, in my class, there were three boys and two girls: Josh, Will, and myself were the boys; Tiffany and Rachel the girls. For the trip, we had chaperones with us and our rooms were divided between our sponsors, the boys, and the girls.
There had never been any romances between my classmates or me, though some of us had branched out into the other grades throughout the years. While on vacation, though, something changed for me. All of us had bonded while away, even though we had been close before, but I felt something... spark... with Tiffany, and she felt it too. The entire week, we had been inseparable, and after we got home it seemed like we never stopped texting each other. Of course, it helped that our birthdays were two days apart and we had both turned eighteen in D.C.
Tiffany's parents had recently moved away to Michigan for a job, but since she was a senior, they opted for her to stay in the dorms at the school, to which she didn't object. The "dorm parents" were this couple involved with the church running the school who had been overseeing the dorms for decades, and they were good people, but they could be strict, a common theme among the people of that church. The boys and girls had separate wings of the dorms, which were monitored closely, but not close enough to stop me.
Tiffany and I had been texting for a particularly long time that night, and we were desperate to see each other, so she asked me to come to the dorms. I, of course, objected because there was no way for me to get in since the building was locked at night, and even if I could get in, the dorm parents would probably think I was a thief or an intruder and would not be kind in their response. But she insisted and promised to leave a window open after they had gone to sleep, so I obliged.

I tapped softly on the window, so as not to alert any of her fellow dorm mates. She came to the window quickly and opened it up for me to crawl in. She closed it behind me and we hugged for a few seconds. We weren't allowed to hug on school grounds, but who was going to report us?
"I'm so glad you came," she grinned.
She led me to her bed and we sat. We quietly talked about various things in the twilight hours and found ourselves holding hands after a few minutes. I'm usually one to avoid eye contact out of anxiety, but I couldn't stop staring into her ocean blue eyes. She had fair, freckled skin and long, curly, dirty blond hair. She was perfect. Whenever she smiled, her eyes would crinkle in a way that just melted me.
"So... Since you're here and it's so late, do you want to..."
"Do I want to?" I arched my brow, confused.
"You know."
"Oh." I got it, "Um... Are you sure?"
She looked away, "No, never mind. I'm sorry I asked."
"Hey," I reached out and turned her face toward mine, "If you really want to, then yeah. I just don't want you to waste your first time on me, you know?"
"It wouldn't be wasting it."
"You're perfect, you know that?" she blushed, "I don't want to be disappointing. I want your first time to be amazing."
