House

I was 18 and at my first house party with some friends and others i met there. i was a little nervous and the pressure to drink didnt help. anyway, we all fell asleep on the couches and i was woken up by the guy next to me kissing me. i kinda kissed back at first because i was half-asleep and didnt know what was happening. the next day i was shaken up and told my friends but all they really said was it was fine and did i kiss him back. it made and still makes me feel embarrassed and like i was making a fuss over nothing but it had and still has a big effect on me. id never kissed anyone before. i had no education or language for what happened and i never talked about it for ages. only now ive grown and taught myself, do i feel angry and wish i had the confidence for that back then.

My dad always says that me and my sisters, for being women, we have to work harder to study so we can be better and no depend of a man. But, one day, when he returned from work and found out the house was not entirely clean he said “How is possible that the house is like this when four women lived here!”
