    Later that afternoon I got a phone call from Antonio. At first I wasn’t going to answer it because I truly didn’t havea thing to say, but at the last minute I changed my mind and decided to see why he was calling.
    â€œWhat do you want?” I answered my phone in the nastiest tone I could summon up.
    â€œUnlike you, I was calling to make sure you were okay. I can’t believe you left me stranded at prom.” Antonio’s exasperation equaled my own.
    â€œYou should not have allowed Priscilla to splash all that punch on me,” I said, getting angrier by the moment.
    â€œI didn’t even see her coming, Keysha. How was I supposed to stop her? I don’t have eyes in the back of my head, you know.”
    â€œWhatever, Antonio!”
    â€œDo you know how awkward I felt walking around begging people to give me a ride home? I had to get a ride with one of the guys from the basketball team. Do you have any idea how embarrassing that was?”
    â€œProbably as humiliating as someone putting all your businesses in the street or throwing liquid on your expensive prom dress, then running off leaving you looking all stupefied. Forget about you, how do you think I felt, you jerk?” I roared.
    â€œStop twisting this around and making it about you, Keysha. You’re not the only victim here.”
    â€œYeah, and I’m certainly not the one who had drama follow me to the prom. Now that I think about it, you probably knew Priscilla wanted to talk with you all along, but you avoided her until she forced you to hear what she had to say.”
    â€œOh, so now you’re sticking up for Priscilla? You can’t be serious!” I could tell by his voice that Antonio was extremely agitated.
    â€œI’m not sticking up for her, I’m just saying if I were in her shoes I might have tried something similar.”
    â€œYou would’ve tossed a bowl of fruit punch on me?” Antonio asked.
    â€œNot that part. I’m talking about when she announced to the world that she was pregnant with your baby. I know you said it wasn’t your baby, but if it was, what would you do?” I asked, wanting to truly know what kind of man he was.
    â€œIt’s not my baby, so I don’t see a need to even answer such a dumb question.” Antonio was defiant.
    â€œHow is that a dumb question?” Confused, I wrinkled my eyebrows.
    â€œBecause it is, Keysha. You don’t go around asking guys what they’d do if their girl came up loaded,” Antonio snapped.
    â€œOkay, so what you’re really saying is that if we were to do it and I got pregnant, you’d turn your back on me,” I said, wanting to be certain I knew where I stood with him.
    â€œThat wouldn’t happen, because we’d use protection,” Antonio countered.
    â€œThe only thing that protects one hundred percent of the time is not to do it at all. Abstinence. Even if you used a condom, those things can break sometimes.”
    â€œI thought you went to Planned Parenthood and got the Pill?” Antonio asked.
    â€œI did, but I haven’t started taking them. Besides, taking the Pill is only like ninety-five percent safe. There is still a chance that I could get pregnant. How could you not know that?” I asked, utterly shocked by his lack of knowledge.
    â€œIt’s not my job to know about the Pill and other stuff that girls should be taking care of. If more girls would handle their business the way they’re supposed to, there wouldn’t be so many teen pregnancies.”
    â€œI don’t believe you just said that.” I felt the few remaining feelings I had for him freezing over.
    â€œI don’t see why. It’s the girls who have to carry the baby for nine months and then bring it home from the hospital. Guys don’t have to worry about stuff like that,” Antonio reasoned.
    â€œYou would make a horrible father,” I said, hoping
