lost cause

"A few months after I had gone through the 'it's not you, it's me' breakup with Alex, I found out that the real reason he ended things was be cause he had been cheating on me during most of our relationship. He was now engaged to the girl he'd been seeing behind my back. Since he was the first (and only) man I ever slept with, I was exceptionally irate. To make myself feel better, I printed up lost-dog posters with his picture and full name on them saying he was a worthless two-timing mutt who needs to be neutered. A friend helped me put them up all over his neighborhood. I heard that he saw them and was totally pissed, but he got what he deserved."--Tabitha, 19

red-hot hookup

"I brought my boyfriend to a family party at my house. Since we both love spicy food, my uncle gave us hot sauce to try on his chili. We piled it on, and both of our mouths were on fire after one spoonful. To avoid insulting my uncle, we ate most of it and drank tons of water. A little while later, I persuaded my man to sneak into my room for some quality time. We were fooling around and he went down on me. I had to stop him because I felt the worst burning sensation ever. The hot sauce must have been lingering in our mouths, and it caused an awful reaction in my nether regions. I tried to use water, but I still felt a searing hot pain down below. Finally, my boyfriend ran to get a glass of milk, and I poured it over myself to help take the burn away. My family couldn't figure out what was going on and why I walked funny the rest of the night."--Sonia, 23
