Barbara was just hanging around after school with her regular girlfriends when the conversation turned to birth control and what each of them used.
     Normally, she dreaded these moments—her turn again in the world’s longest game of Truth or Dare—but in this case at least, she was happily off the hook—okay, not so happy, since everyone already knew she didn’t even have a boyfriend, but happy enough for the pass.
