'Ring already!'

Hajime's eyes were glued on the clock as if the clock was holding his future in its hands. It was.

The two hands moved slower than snails. The teacher walked around with a stick. He tapped random students' shoulders just to annoy them.

A student behind Hajime jumped from the tap and dropped their pen on the floor.

Before the poor soul could pick it up, the teacher gave another tap on the head.

"This isn't kindergarten Mr. Akihiko."

Hajime shook his head. The teacher acted more immature than any of the students in the exam room.

He secretly took out his phone, searching for his chat with Hana. He sent her a message.

'Hey, I'm almost done with my finals. What time did you want me to come over?'

After waiting for the teacher to walk away, Hajime got an instant response back.

'My parents aren't home so you can come over when you're ready.'

Hajime bit his bottom lip. He couldn't believe how lucky he was.

Hajime typed back.

'Okay, I'll be there soon!'.

He slipped his phone back into his pocket as the teacher eyed him down.

When the teacher wasn't looking, one student flipped him off which made everyone burst into laughter. The teacher was getting annoyed with the silliness and demanded to know what was going on.

"You forgot your dentures, old man," replied one of the students.

"Who said that?" the teacher asked.

The ball rang.

Hajime was the first person to run out the door. A girl bumped into him but fell to the floor instead. She had the biggest forehead Hajime has ever seen on a person.

"Are you okay?" asked Hajime as he helped her up.

"No it's fine. I-I didn't see you...it was all my fault!" she stuttered.

Hajime laughed at her awkwardness.

"No, it's mine. I should have been paying attention to where I was running."

The girl's friends walked towards her to make sure she was okay. They all looked at Hajime weirdly and walked away.

"Fuck I don't have time for this."

Hajime ran outside and hopped on his bicycle. He started to peddle as fast as he could, not caring if it seemed desperate.

"I am fucking horny as fuck!!" Hajime shouted. Only a virgin could understand how he felt right now.

Hajime ran a red light. A passing car honked at Hajime.

Hajime arrived at Hana's house. It was a small condo that sat right on top of a convenience store.

Hajime's hands were shaking as he took out his phone and dialed Hana's number.

"Hello~" said Hana in a teasing voice.

"Um I'm at your front door but you never told me what your mom or dad's name are..." Hajime's voice trailed off.

"It doesn't matter! My parents are on a vacation for the weekend so it's just us!"

'Oh yeah,' Hajime remembered. 'Hana's parents work for an international corporation and often went out of country for business.'

"Come up already, I'm waiting for you."

It was only 30 steps of stairs but to Hajime, it felt like the longest stairway in history. Every step he took, increased the pressure on his back as he knew once he got to the top, his life would change forever. Hajime was ready to lose his virginity to the best-looking girl in his grade.

He knocked on the door.

A petite girl with long brown hair opened the door.

She wore a white top with lace and denim shorts. Her breasts were noticeable under the thin fabric as the light reflected from them.

As Hajime examined Hana's body, he saw that her nipples were slightly poking through the shirt. Hana also wore heels that made her taller.

"So you like my outfit? I thought it might be sexy and cute at the same time," she giggled.

Hajime blushed.

"I've never seen someone so beautiful before."

Hana pulled Hajime into her room by his tie.

"My room is full of flowers," she smiled, pointing at every corner.

Hajime gulped.

Hana's room was decorated with potted plants, with vines growing across the walls. Some of the potted plants even dangled from the ceiling.

"Um, why are there so many flowers?" he asked.

Hana shrugged.

"I don't know, my parents grew them all. They also have a gardening company so they grow lots of pretty plants. Plus, it smells good."

Hajime nodded slowly. He noticed that Hana smelled like vanilla. He couldn't help but admire her beauty.

"Let me smell your flower then." Hajime joked.

He hadn't meant to say it out loud but the words escaped from his mouth anyway.

Hana's eyes widened at Hajime's comment and her face flushed red.

"Okay."

She grabbed his hand and guided him to her bed. They both sat down together, staring at each other. A minute passed and another. No one spoke a word until Hana finally broke the silence.

"So what do we do now?"

"Uhhh, let's have sex."

"But... isn't it too early in our relationship?" Hana rubbed her arm.

"We've been going out for a year now and we haven't done anything yet."

Hana bit her lower lip.

"Okay fine, I'll give you my virginity. But promise me we will take things slow afterward."

Hajime nodded vigorously, almost spraining his neck from how quickly he agreed to it.

"Of course, anything you want."

"And I want to use protection too, ok?" Hana added, pulling out a condom from her drawer.

Hajime nodded again.

"Absolutely, I don't want to be a dad at eighteen."

Hajime stood up from the bed, ready to get naked.

"Wait," Hana interrupted.

Hajime raised his eyebrows at Hana.

"What's wrong?"

"Promise me you'll never forget this moment." Hana smiled.

Hajime laughed.

"You're talking to me about promises while holding a condom."

"Oh shut up!" Hana retorted, throwing the condom at Hajime's head.
