This is a work of fiction. However, it was inspired by a true story. In March of 2007, four fifth grade students were arrested for having sex in their classroom, and a fifth student was arrested as an accomplishment. The students had returned to their classroom following a school assembly, and because of a misunderstanding or miscommunication among the teachers, the students were unsupervised for a period of time. Two eleven year old girls and two boys, ages twelve and thirteen, started to fuck in front of their classesmates. Another eleven year old boy acted as a lookout but apparently failed to see the teacher coming.
I began to wonder about the other students in the class. Did they enjoy the scene? Were they curious? Jealous?

Darren came home from baseball practice, plopped his school books on the kitchen table and sat down across from his little sister. He smiled broadly at Donna and said, “Well, I guess you had some excitement in school today!”
Donna said, “Oh, you know about that?”
Donna liked her big brother, not because he was her brother, but because he wasn’t like all the other brothers she had seen. For instance, even though he was several years older than she was, he still took time to talk to her. He even let her interrupt his homework if she had a question or just wanted to talk.
Darren said, “Of course. It’s all over the school.”
Donna returned to her homework, pretending to be more interested in her math than the sex scene she had witnessed earlier in the day. In truth, she was extremely curious. She wanted to keep the conversation going, so she said, “Those girls are skanks. And both Jeff and his doofus friend should be in the next grade. Tommy just shouldn’t have gotten involved. He was looking the wrong way down the hall when the teacher came around the corner and caught them all by surprise.”
Darren fixed himself a sandwich and sat down again to work on his homework. After a few minutes Donna said, “Do you think eleven years old is too young for sex?”
Darren said, “Well, apparently not.”
Donna said, “No, really. Do you think eleven years old is too young for sex?”
Daren looked up from his book, thought for a moment, then said, “It depends on who it is. Some kids can handle it at that age and others can’t just yet.”
Donna said, “What about me? Do you think I can handle it?”
Darren wasn’t sure where this was going, but he said, “Yes. Yes, I think you could handle it okay.”
Then Donna said, “Then, why don’t we?”
Darren was surprised. He knew what she meant but he wanted to be sure so he said, “Do what? Why don’t we do what?”
Donna said, “Havesex. Why don’t we have sex?”
Darren, still not sure, said, “You and me?”
Donna said, “You and me.”
Darren got up from the table and as he moved towards the sink he said, “Come here, I want to try something.”
Donna got up from the table and walked over to where Darren was standing in front of the sink. She stepped up close to him and as he folded her into his arms, she instinctively closed her eyes and prepared for a kiss. Darren kissed her on the lips, for the first time, and was surprised by how good it felt. She followed his lead, letting his tongue investigate her mouth and then following suit with her tongue.
They kissed for several minutes, neither one wanting to break the embrace. When they finally did, Darren whispered to her, “Is Dad home?”
She whispered back, “Yes. He’s in the basement fixing the dryer.”
Darren said,”I’ll meet you back here, in front of the sink, at one o’clock. Mom and dad will both be sleep so make sure they don’t hear your alarm.”
