The Pert Plus Incident
A long long time ago when I was about 12, a strange thing happened to me at a friend’s sleepover party. I had this one friend, let’s call him Boris for anonymity purposes. Our small crew of friends would usually go to his house and hang with him and his older sister. Let’s call her Persephone.
One night during February (I think it was), I went over Boris’ house to sleep over. The night started off like any usual 12-something sleepover; playing lots of video games, listening to whatever heavy music we had access to, eating junk food, etc. At one point his sister Persephone enters the room to chill with us. She is a couple of years older, rounding past the discovery phase of puberty into early experience with her (and other peoples’) private zones.
