It was just supposed to be a stupid dare. With her new fake ID, she said it could get her in anywhere. Of course, there is always an asshole about, some jerk who has to challenge any claim you make. In her case, that asshole was Steve. He called bullshit on her and wanted proof. She had expected him to ask her to buy some alcohol or go into a bar, but for some reason, likely perverted, he had challenged her to go to a nearby adult theater and buy something. She was grossed out by the idea, but everyone at the lunch table had latched onto the challenge and she would have to provide a receipt for proof.
So that was how Sydney, 17, found herself outside “Handy’s” on a Friday night, biting her lower lip anxiously. She wished she had dressed super conservatively, but it was well into summer and she was going to the movies with some friends after. So, here she was, a leggy dirty blonde, wearing a modest summer dress, trying to gather courage to go inside. A car drove by and that was the push she needed. She hadn’t parked in the back, something she now regretted. Instead she pushed the black glass door and went inside.
