My Friend Ed

My name is James. I was 16, and I went to a private school in England. I’m a keen sportsman, with the toned body which goes with it. My sexual experience is limited; I’d managed to slip my hand down some trousers from time to time, but never further. Thus, I would have described myself as horny as fuck. But enough about me.

I was in physics, sitting next to a good friend of mine, Ed. He was one of the smarter boys in the class, not your classical alpha male. It was actually confusing for many of my other friends as to why I got on so well with him. I myself had no idea. The physics teacher was the hopeless one of the two we had, and so nobody was paying much attention. I was talking to Ed:

“I am really starting to get fed up of these lessons. I don’t mind a lesson where we learn something, but I am really concerned that we won’t pass our GCSE.”

“Too true. I expect I’ll end up teaching myself the whole of this half of the course.”

“Me too. Hey – do you want to team up during study leave to do some revision? I find it always helps to work as a pair. It’s certainly less boring.”

“Sure! Monday the 16th?”

“Alright, that sounds good. I suspect my parents will be out, so we’ll have to sort ourselves some lunch and things like that, but that shouldn’t be a problem.”

At that point, the bell went for the end of the lesson. We packed up our bags and headed off to the next lesson – maths. I was also with Ed for this lesson, but I decided that paying attention was a better idea, seeing as our maths course was tricky, to say the least.

For the rest of the time at school that term, I completely forgot about that earlier conversation. When we went on study leave, 3 weeks before the first exam, the ‘phone went. Seeing as I was the only one in the house at that time, I answered it. It was Ed.

“We’re trying to find your house, mate. Where are you?”

I was confused for a second, and then recalled the conversation from several weeks earlier. I instructed him in where to go.

It was 10a.m. but already the house was a mess. I dashed around putting away odd socks, dirty dishes etc. The private school mentality doesn’t allow me to seem a slob! Five minutes later, Ed turned up. His mother stopped the car, he got out and I met him at the front door.

“Hi Ed! I’d completely forgotten! Oh well, we’ll have to go out into town for lunch.”

“That suits me fine. I’ve got some cash, I’ll buy.”

This note of generosity hanging in the air, we got down to some revision. O.K., we did play on the playstation a bit, and mucked around, kicking each other’s feet under the table and claiming that it was the dog. But all in all, it was a productive morning. So much so that we decided to head off into town a bit early for lunch.

We went to a pizza place, sat down and ordered. I’m a voracious eater – I finished the pizza in record time, leaving me not much to do whilst Ed finished! I looked around and enjoyed the warm summer’s day. I noticed quite a few older boys from the school in town that day, including one who was having a very productive day lip-locked with some blonde girl.

The couple spun ‘round a bit and with shock I noticed the identity of the blonde girl. It was Ed’s girlfriend! He looked up to see me in a state of shock.

“What’s with the…fuck! What’s that bitch doing with him?”

He made as if to stand, but at that moment she noticed him and, whilst leaving, shouted back “This wouldn’t have happened if you’d not been so uptight!”

I didn’t want to ask, but he answered the unspoken question.

“She wanted to have sex, but I didn’t think that she deserved it. I’m still a virgin, and want it to be special.”

Coming from anybody else, I would have been shocked at this revelation, however Ed had always been one for talking about things that most wouldn’t.
