Mia experiences her first time sex in the cemetery in a chapel: “The fact that the door couldn’t lock made me feel even more”
At the cafe, young Mia* (14) meets the hottest guy in town: Eddie* (16). He teaches her to play billiards and picks her up after school on his motorcycle so they can kiss secretly in the woods. It’s Mia’s very first love, she tells us, and also Mia’s “first ever.” After two months of dating, she slips away from home on an excuse, to a chapel in the graveyard, on a blanket at the altar, to go further than ever with Eddie. “’Don’t worry,’ he said, ‘I know when to back off.’”
