When Her Boy Bestie Knew Too Much
During my mother's prenatal testing, the doctor discovers that I, the baby she's carrying, have the XYY syndrome. Since Mom's health is frail, it will be hard for her to have another baby. My parents somberly decide to have me anyway.
When I'm in elementary school, my nanny is playing with me when I accidentally break her arm by stepping on it.
During middle school, a few thugs try to rob me on the street, only to end up in the hospital because of me. This one incident makes me famous. Word keeps spreading until I become known as a bully in school. No one dares to offend me at all.
I've since graduated from college. During a class reunion with my college classmates, Zoey Johnson, my girlfriend of three years, brings Michael Greer, her male best friend, with her.
When a game of Truth or Dare starts, Michael bluntly shares one of Zoey's secrets.
"I know she has a mole on one of her nips."
He looks smug about what he has just revealed. Everyone else has fallen silent.
After glancing at Zoey, who's sitting beside Michael, I pull her off the couch and say, "Take your top off. Let's see if he's telling the truth."
