"Oh my God," Luke whined, downing yet another shot of vodka. "I saw the hottest girl in my chemistry class today."

"Really?" Calum asked, extremely amused with how his best friend was acting.

"Uh huh." Luke hiccuped. "She's so hot, holy shit. I wanna fuck her so bad."

"Why don't you?" Ashton asked, taking a seat on the other side of Luke.

"I'm too nervous to talk to her." Luke's words were slurred as he spoke, a result of all the vodka he'd consumed in the last hour and a half.

He'd gone over to his friend Calum's house to play video games and mess around on his guitar (they were thinking about starting a band) but Luke ended up stealing a bottle of vodka and getting himself completely wasted. And his friends were having a good time watching him suffer.

"You shouldn't be nervous, dude." Michael laughed, walking into the room with a bag of chips in his hands. "She might be really nice, just try to talk to her."

"I don't want to just talk to her." Luke whined, a few tears slipping out of his eyes. He got very emotional when he drank too much. "I wanna fuck the shit out of her. I wanna take her right there on one of those fucking lab tables. I wanna fuck her so hard she won't even remember her name. I wanna - "

"That's enough." Ashton cut Luke off and stood up from the couch, leaving Calum alone to deal with Luke.

"Where are you going?" Luke pouted. His hands shook as he poured more vodka into the shot glass (for some reason Michael had insisted that he used a shot glass) and threw his head back again, the liquid burning his throat.

"Nowhere, I'm just trying to get as far away from you as I can." Ashton chuckled, "I can tell that you're about to puke all over the place."

"I am not!" Luke yelled, crying a little more now. This wasn't anything new for his friends, and that's why they weren't very worried about the way Luke was acting. This was usually how they spent their Friday nights.

"You need to calm down." Calum said, stifling a laugh, placing a hand on Luke's shoulder to comfort him.

"God, I wanna have sex with someone!" Luke groaned, falling over so he was now laying on his side.

Yes, Luke was a virgin, and no matter how hard he tried there was nothing that he could do to change that. He felt pathetic, probably being the only boy in the entire senior class that hadn't had sex yet. There wasn't even anything wrong with Luke, his game just sucked.

"You'll have sex eventually." Michael shrugged. He took a seat on the floor, a safe distance away from Luke in case he did decide to throw up everywhere. "It's not even that great."

"You're only saying that because you have sex all the time." Calum said, rolling his eyes. Calum was always making comments like that, because his girlfriend had practically brainwashed him into thinking that sex was something shared between two people that loved each other very much, not just a fun pastime.

Michael, on the other hand, thought that sex was just something casual. He didn't think that it was very special, or at least he hadn't found someone yet that made it special for him. Michael just wanted to have sex because he needed something to do in his free time other than annoying his parents with his obnoxiously loud guitar playing, and there was really no other explanation.

Luke's only explanation for why he wanted to have sex so bad was that he was really, really horny.

"Ashton, you talk to a lot of pretty girls. Can you get one of them to fuck me?" Luke asked nicely, trying to ignore the new feeling in his stomach. He was definitely going to puke all over the place.

"I don't know." Ashton shrugged. He was smiling down at his phone, not even looking up at Luke. He was probably texting his girlfriend again.

Luke had never met Ashton's girlfriend, but he already knew that she was his dream girl. She was in his grade but lived one town over, so they didn't attend the same school, but Luke knew that if they ever met he'd be totally in love.

She was smart. She had straight A's and was in lots of AP classes and had made the honor roll three years in a row. Ashton was really proud of her, he constantly told his friends about it. She tutored Ashton in math the year before, when he was a senior and she was a junior, that's how they met in the first place.

She was funny, and would text Ashton cute little jokes or call him just to tell him about her day, which always seemed exciting. Ashton would laugh about some of the things that she said for hours on end and try to explain them to Luke, even though most of the time it was some inside joke that he'd never understand.

Ashton said she was really pretty. Luke had yet to see an actual picture of her, but Ashton was always going on and on about how gorgeous his girlfriend was and how he was the luckiest guy in the whole world. Luke was pretty jealous, because he wished that he could talk about someone like that.

And from what Ashton had described to Luke, he knew that she was great in bed.

"Does your girlfriend have any hot friends?" Luke questioned. "Or better yet, can I fuck your girlfriend?"

"No, you can't fuck her." Ashton scoffed. "I can ask if she has any friends that we can set you up with, but I don't know. You should just wait, man."

"Luke, sex is a lot more special when you do it with someone that you love." Calum added and Michael shot him a glare.

"If he wants to have sex then let him have sex, it's not a big deal." Michael sighed, shoving more chips into his mouth. "Luke's going to have to lose his virginity someday."

"I'm never going to lose my virginity." Luke cried some more, sitting up again so he could take another swig from the bottle of vodka.

"Sure you will." Ashton chuckled. "Calum, you're having that party next weekend, right?"

"Yeah." Calum nodded. Everyone was kind of surprised that Calum was throwing this huge party when his parents went out of town for the weekend, because ever since he started dating his girlfriend he'd become really stuck up and never wanted to do anything remotely fun. Luke thought that he was throwing the party to prove a point, even though Calum insisted that he wasn't.

"Luke, I bet you'll find a nice girl to hook up with at Calum's party." Ashton said, finally tearing his eyes away from his phone long enough to look over at Luke.

"I bet that I won't." Luke grumbled, wiping at his eyes with the back of his hand.

"You have to keep an open mind about this." Michael said, sighing again. "If you think that you won't get laid then you won't. If you think that you will get laid, you will."

"I'm not gonna get laid." Luke whined, shaking his head.

"You just have to find some way to motivate yourself." Ashton said, "If you go into this with a positive attitude then you'll definitely have positive results."

"You're all talking about this like it's a fucking science project." Luke groaned, clutching his stomach. He felt awful, who even let him drink this much? Oh yeah, his best friends.

"Well you like science, don't you?" Calum chuckled.

"Maybe..." Luke mumbled. "What does science have to do with anything, I just wanna fuck someone."

"You will fuck someone, if you just believe in yourself." Ashton says slowly, speaking clearly so Luke can understand him.

"I don't believe in myself." Luke whined again. He'd had plenty of almost-sexual experiences with girls, and nothing worth while had ever happened to him. Luke was convinced that he was just going to have to be alone forever.

"Hey, I have an idea!" Michael shouted, standing up from his place on the floor.

"No." Calum said before Michael even had a chance to say what he was thinking.

"It's a good idea." Michael rolled his eyes. He continued anyway, even though Calum was trying to stop him from speaking. "It'll help motivate you to have sex with someone, like, soon."

"Oh, I like it." Ashton nodded.

"You haven't even heard it yet." Calum scoffed.

Luke looked up at Michael with wide eyes, desperately waiting to hear his friends plan that just might help him finally get some action. Luke wanted this so bad, he'd have sex with anyone at this point.

"If you don't fuck a girl at Calum's party next week, you have to streak across the football field at the homecoming game."

"No!" Calum yelled, standing up from the couch and marching over to where Michael was standing. "No, Michael, I'm not going to let him get involved in something like this."

"I like it!" Ashton laughed, shoving Calum away from Michael.

"Do people even streak anymore? I thought everyone was over that. It's stupid, anyway, no one wants to see some scrawny kid running across the football field." Calum tried to reason with them, folding his arms across his chest.

Luke was still staring up at his friends, absolutely fascinated with the idea Michael had just come up with. It was stupid, but it could totally work. Luke didn't want to streak across the football field, obviously, and that's why he was going to try harder than he ever had before to have sex with a girl at Calum's party. He'd get to lose his virginity and save himself the humility of getting naked in front of the entire student body. Easy.

"I'll do it." Luke slurred, standing up from the couch with his bottle still in his hands.

"Really? Calum asked, completely amazed.

"Uh huh." Luke nodded. "I won't even need to streak, I'll have sex at the party next weekend."

"Really?" Ashton raised an eyebrow, probably because he didn't think that Luke even had a chance at getting laid at the party.

"Yeah." Luke continued to nod and almost fell over, his head all dizzy from the amount of alcohol in him.

"See, that's the spirit." Michael laughed, walking over to Luke and slapping him hard on the back. Luke flinched and groaned again, his stomach hurting even more now.

"Are you sure, Luke? You don't have to do it, we were just kidding." Ashton added, giving Luke one last chance to back out.

"I'm positive." Luke gave his friend a lopsided grin and held his hand out for someone to shake. "Should we shake to make it official?"

"Wait, wait, wait," Calum butt in, pushing Michael out of the way so he couldn't shake Luke's hand. "Are you actually serious? This is so stupid. You're saying that if you don't fuck someone at my party next weekend you'll willingly run naked across a football field."

"I'm not even going to need to streak!" Luke whined, stomping his feet on the ground like he was a little five year old.

"Just let him do it, Cal." Michael said, glaring at Calum. "It'll be a good life lesson... For all of us."

"I'm refusing to be a part of this." Calum said quickly, folding his arms across his chest. He looked to Ashton, hoping that the older boy would have a say in this too. "Ashton?"

Ashton just smirked and held out his hand for Luke. "Shake."
