'Unicorns Are Real after in two The Lavada Johnston Story â€Å"I unless take’t guess how community apprize go through with unmatched-night stands, I go about can’t do it. ” I just sat in that location for a little while in silent disbelief. I was trying to find out whether or not I should force affirm offense to the statement or not. in advance I could formulate my response, my friend Lavada give tongue to, â€Å"No offense to you, or any unrivaled else, I just don’t get it. ” passim my life, I thought I had encountered beautiful ofttimes e very(prenominal) reference of person, and I could’ve sworn that I had my generation tout ensemble told pegged.\r\nHowever, since meeting Lavada Johnston, my iron-clad definition of people my senesce has been greatly disproven. I prototypical met Lavada, in my Stage Crafting class. Because it was the beginning of the semester, I didn’t very know any of the other(a) theater students just yet. But for slightly reason, I tangle drawn to her. She had a very intriguing look active her. She had a curvaceous and voluptuous carcass type. Her hair was jet downcast, nails painted black, black eye make-up, and a lip ring.\r\nMy first impression was that she was either of the gothic or emo persuasion, more thanover she didn’t exactly gravel the particularly â€Å"dark” quality that closely gothic/emo people I’ve met possess. She had mannikin of a quirkiness or so her that didn’t jar againstm intimidating. In fact, it was lovely much very inviting. I consider myself a pretty good judge of character, so I decided to befriend her. To my surprise, it didn’t take long at entirely for us to develop a kinda beardown(prenominal) friendship with each other.\r\nThe to a greater extent I hung roughly her, the more interest she became to me, and still does now. She sometimes seems sort of dumb and whitethornbe raze fain t-hearted sometimes, exclusively all of that goes out of the window when she is comfortable. She is right of life, a vibrant fun love college student. When I imbed out that her born(p)(p) hair color is actually blonde, I wasn’t charge impress. In fact, in ane case I thought about it, it authentically suits her, and her personality. Like myself, Lavada is a theater major. She wants to chase musical theater, but for some reason, she is shy about singing.\r\nThis is something I didn’t understand considering she has an amazing singing, and perfect for the theater. Her musical interests atomic number 18 also something that caused us to spark much(prenominal) a quick friendship. Turns out we be both Family Force 5 fanatics, although Lavada may be border lining obsession. All of the things I’ve mentioned about her are all things I find very kindle about her. But there is one particular reason that piqued my interest decorous to unfeignedly cause me to press even further into her life and to explore her mind-set on the world around her.\r\n integrity day after grabbing lunch in the union, Lavada and I were walking together, seeing how my anteroom was in the same direction as hers. We had what eventually became a very monstrous discussion. I’ll never forget my miscellany of surprise and disbelief when I found out Lavada’s secret. I’m not exactly sure how we got on this topic of conversation, but somehow we end up discussing kindle. However, it’s not like it’s uncommon for college students to talk about sex. In fact, what college student hasn’t had sex before, right?\r\nWrong. I still can hear the words as travel by as a bell in my head, â€Å"Scottie, I’m a virgin. ” When she told me this, there was no way I could hide the shocked expression plastered all over my face. It besidesk me a while to even gather that she was serious. Lavada Johnston is a twenty-one menst ruate of study old college student, who has never had sex. Part of me felt guilty for being so surprised by this confession. I mean, it’s not like it’s a bragging(a) thing or anything like that. It was just, I’ve never known such a person to resist.\r\nBut then I decided that I must be missing something here. Maybe I should record the fine print, I thought. But as I pressed further into Lavada and her cozy activity, the more I retrieved her. I said to myself there has to be some technicalities or something because you can’t just go your entire life without having sex, unless you’re one of those insanely religious people or something. Seeing how Lavada wasn’t anywhere near being a religious type person, my curiosity was piqued even further. For lack of a better one, my first question was simply, â€Å" wherefore? Lavada looked around, gave an innocent but rather inactive expression, flailed her hands up and said, â€Å"I don’t k now. ” By this point, I began to sternly pester her and express my whole-hearted awe in her confession. Over and over again, Lavada gave me not one excuse or reason as to why she had never had sex. Everything she said was sufficiency to cause the average young woman to induce the occasional â€Å"I hate boys” syndrome, but never is it enough to hold back the raging hormones we’re faced with at this age. Or so I thought.\r\nI decided to have an official interview with Lavada, in which I would be located to find the answers I was looking for. Lavada Johnston was born in Winona, Mississippi and then later moved to Eupora, Mississippi, which is where she stills whenever school isn’t in session. She attended Montgomery High civilize in Kilmichael, where she graduated in the year 2007. Throughout her school days, Lavada seemed to be the unsullied headstrong rebel type of girl who got into plenty of trouble for fighting. Her family moved around a lot, s o she never stayed in one place for long.\r\nThis made it really hard for her to develop a strong circle of friends. Therefore, she turned to books. She loves to read. She was one of those enkindle Potter type kids, into mythical creatures, magic, vampires, you know, the whole nine yards. As far as music goes, aside from Family Force 5, she is pretty much hard rock oriented. I asked her why she chose to come to Ole Miss. She responded with a very straight forward answer. â€Å"It was either here, or Mississippi State, but if I had gone(p) to state, I know I would’ve gotten into too many fights. I simply laughed and nodded in agreement at my friend. It is safe to say, that since advance to college, she has finally found steady friends, which of course she loves because she hasn’t ever really had that before. I of course was and still am both grateful and happy to be a friend to her. The more I allude around Lavada, the more I see the kind of person she is. There is no denying that is sweet and kind to any everyone. I observed that she has a hard to facial expression no to people, even if she wants to. In my opinion, Lavada possesses something that is rarefied in our generation.\r\nAnd I don’t mean her virginity. Although, I do believe that it truly reflects the kind of person she really is. She’s someone who isn’t touch with impressing others. The fact that she has yet to swipe her â€Å"V- flyer” speaks volumes about her values and the standards that she holds for herself. She is kind, fun-loving, and seems to sincerely keeping about her fellow human-being in a way that is apparent in her effortless life. I truly wish more people our age would take a lesson from Lavada, and maybe we could all make a change for the better.\r\n'
