Another Nerd’s First Time

The week after Alyssa and I had sex, my life changed. I went from being a nobody, to the center of the attention of almost every popular girl at school. I had went from dodging pesterous jocks to being surrounded by hot girls.


The attention was not just at school. At work, it seemed every time I turned around there was a girl standing behind me. I really enjoyed the attention, although I was not really sure why my status had changed.


One night while helping my older sister, Charlotte, with her chemistry homework, she made a comment about my instant popularity. “Ernie, I am glad you found time from your busy schedule to help me,” she started.


“It is no problem at all sis, family first,” I joked.


“So how are you adjusting to you new found popularity?” She asked.


I pondered on her question. “It is strange, but enjoyable. I do not understand why though.”


“You don’t understand? Are you serious?” She seemed surprised by my response.


I looked at her dumbfoundedly. “Of course I am serious. I do not understand how I went from being King of the Geeks one day and the next being constantly surrounded by girls.”


“To be so smart, you sure are dumb,” she laughed.


We continued working on her chemistry, but my mind was stuck on what she had said. By her comment, I assumed she knew something. If it was so obvious, why hadn’t I figured it out.


The thoughts of our conversation soon evaporated as we sunk into my first love, science. I helped her work out some chemical equations and explained the concepts of the molecular structures of some atoms. She seemed confused, but all the science talk had me excited.


She finally told me to stop. It was getting late, and we had school the next day. She left the dining room table and went to take a shower. When she was done, I took my turn in the shower. The one bad thing about living in a house full of girls is that if you are the last to shower, there is not much hot water.


By the time I had soaped my hair up, the hot water went away. So with icy cold water, I rinsed the shampoo from my hair as quickly as I could. I turned the water off, and my teeth were chattering because I was so cold. I dried, and dressed.


I hurried to put my sleep pants and t-shirt on before hypothermia set in, then I left the bathroom and headed toward the warmth of my bed. As I walked by Charlotte’s room, I remembered how our conversation had ended. I stopped, the door was opened so I cleared my throat to get her attention.


She was brushing her hair while listening to some music through her ear buds. When I cleared my throat she looked up and pulled the buds from her ears. “What do you need, Ernie?”


“Earlier, you said I was dumb, what did you mean by that?”


She laughed, stood up and moved toward the door. My twin, Dedra was already asleep so when Charlotte was close enough she began to whisper.


“You fucked Alyssa and all she has talked about is how good you were, and how big your…ah…you know, is. The girls that have been hanging around you are all sluts, just like Alyssa.”


“What did Alyssa say?” I was curious to know what she was saying about my love making skills.


“Do you really think that I would stand around and listen to another girl talk about doing the nasty with my little brother? Sorry Ernie, if you want to know, you are going to have to ask someone else. I think it’s gross.” Then she backed away and shut her door.


I stood there staring at her closed door. I felt humiliated. Now instead of being known for my brain, I was known for my penis and what I could do with it. My world was really screwed up.


The next day was a Friday, and I was looking forward to not being at school for the following two days. When I arrived, I rushed to my first class and hoped I was not spotted by the hordes of, as my sister called them, sluts.


I made it without being seen, but unfortunately, I beat Mr. Lambeth to class, so the door was still locked. I looked around, and still seen no one, so I sat on the floor beside the door and patiently waited.


I pulled my knees up and laid my head on them. I closed my eyes and began to go over the mathematical equations that I was about to be tested on. My meditation was interrupted when I felt a light tap against my foot.


I rolled my eyes and slowly lifted my head. I expected that I had been discovered by one of the Jezabel’s. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw Kyra standing in front of me. I smiled and stood up.


Kyra was number four in our class. Her grandfather had come to our town years ago from India. He had purchased several convenient stores and had made a lot of money. Kyra’s father was born and raised in our town. He married a local girl and took over his father’s business ventures once he retired.


I had a crush on Kyra for as long as I could remember. There was something about her dark eyes and dark complection that made her look erotic to me. Although her father allowed her to dress like the rest of us, she chose to wear lose fitting clothes.


She stood about five feet and eight inches. She wore wide framed glasses that magnified her dark eyes. I stood and stared at her. She finally broke my trance by calling my name.


“Earth to Ernie, are you there?” She giggled.


I shook the clouds from my head and smiled. “Yeah, sorry. How are you Kyra?”


“I am well, thank you. Have you signed up to take the SAT at the end of the month?”

Kyra placed her bookbag on the floor and leaned against the wall beside me.


Our school was giving the SAT the last Saturday of the month. Although it was mostly for Juniors and Seniors, the school had opened it up to tenth graders as well. I had already signed up, along with Charlotte and Beth, my second oldest sister.


“Yeah, I am taking it, how about you?”


“I am. I think we are the only ones in our class taking it.”


I smiled at her. We were the only two taking it that I knew of.
