“So, graduation is in two weeks, what do you want to be when you grow up?”
“You know I’m going to be a doctor,” Ravi responds, a hint of resignation in his husky voice. Ever since he went through puberty and his voice dropped about ten octaves it’s given me goosebumps every time he opens his mouth.
“I didn’t ask what you’re going to do to please mommy and daddy. I asked what you want to be.” I bump his shoulder playfully.
He sighs heavily and gives me a sidelong glance.
“It’s really dorky,” Ravi warns with a grimace.
“You’re an Indian boy with a pompadour and Star Wars bed sheets. I already figured that your dream career would be dorky,” I tease.
“Don’t be jealous of my awesome hairdo and badass bed sheets,” He quips. “I...um...want to be a writer. I’ve written a few science fiction stories,” He finally admits with a blush creeping into his dark brown cheeks.
“That’s so awesome. Could I read something sometime?” I ask hopefully.
“Sure, maybe,” He mutters awkwardly. “Are you seeing Greg Peterson?” He blurts.
My mouth falls open and I grapple for words.
I’d been very careful to keep any and all of my “boyfriends”, and I use that term very loosely, quiet. One reason for this is Ben, because he’s the most overprotective brother in the world. But, the other reason is that I didn’t want Ravi to think I was a skank. I did spend some, let’s just say ‘quality time’ with Greg, but it was mostly because he wasn’t repulsive and I want to be well practiced on the off chance that one day I’ll have my chance with Ravi.
“Here and there. Nothing serious,” I shrug.
For a second it looks like Ravi is actually jealous...or maybe it was just a trick of the light.
My heart flutters at the possibility of Ravi seeing me as more than a little sister. I decide right then and there that I’m not letting Ravi leave for college before I give him my virginity. I’ve kept it for him and this may be my last chance. I’m not stupid, I know Ravi and I can never really be together. I swear I will not be disappointed to only have him once. And then, he can go to college and we’ll both move on and remain best friends who share something so special. My mind is made up.
