We sit on the couch while we wait for the girls to come back down. Chucky had extra clothes with him, so he changed. I really like Katrina; she is smart and beautiful. Well, they both are beautiful, but Karolina's personality makes her unattractive. We hear movement from upstairs, and right away, I know which town it is. Karolina is wearing a short dress and more makeup than she had on at dinner. Don't get me wrong. I like it when girls wear makeup, but I think less is more.

"What the fuck are you wearing?" Chucky asks. "We going to a poetry slam, not a night club! Since when did you like poetry anyway?
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw8t1wYxr0
"You know what, Chucky Shut the fuck up! Do you think I look nice?" she asks me. I get distracted by the movement on the stairs. Katrina.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCNhoAfPUt
"Yeah, yeah, it's fine," I say absentmindedly. "Wow, Katrina, you look great." Katrina's smile reaches her eyes, and it's stunning. She is stunning. I notice the scowl on Karolina's face. Chucky notices it too, and he howls out in laughter.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtFYtv63DB
"Yeah, Katrina, you look awesome!" Chucky says. "Karo, you sure you want to go? You say that the Cyber Café is for losers."
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF0FahrG13
"Yes, I want to come." She says.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYIG6Anwxx
"Let check with dad if I can take his truck?" I say. I knock on the office door.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uTyzMQeru
"Come in," Tony says.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGPClMSemW
"Pa, how long will you be? Can I take your truck?"
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTSrqHXWHu
"We will be well past midnight," my dad says. "Go ahead and take the truck. Con cuidado."
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG95HGtAa5
"I'll be careful. Is it okay if I drive everyone to the café, Mr. Camacho?"
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAyxIUr9U8
"Of course," he says.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq3qq8dS4f
He hands me the keys, and I go into the living room. I really want Katrina to sit up front with me, but I don't want to come off and an idiot asking her. I show them the keys and smile and stick my tongue out at them!
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohaXsZDpr9
"Let's hit the road!" I say, and they cheer.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1cgelJJ83
"Yes, no Uber tonight!" Chucky laughs.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4HCt6AXP5
We go out the front door, and Katrina locks the door. I stay behind with her as the other two run over to the truck.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kc4xCNyn6
"Hey, Katrina, you want to ride up front with me?" I say, looking down at her. She is really short, almost a foot shorter than me. She smiles up at me and nods. "It's unlocked guys, Katrina is riding shotgun. I hear Karolina grumble something. I go to the passenger side and open the door for Katrina.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnShxb9Pcfg
"Thank you." She says and smiles shyly.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTvNKX3Dyl
They navigate me out of the town to another small town about ten minutes away. I find a parking spot we get out of the truck. Karolina keeps looking at her phone, and it doesn't go unnoticed by us.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79sObDj2t8
"What are you doing, Karo?" Katrina asks.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7eZ25IZki
"I texted my friends to meet me here. I'm not gonna hang with you losers. Marco, you want to hang with us?"
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ClRbJuauK
"No, thanks. I guess you can call me a loser too." I say. She rolls her eyes and walks off with her friends.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1rY7hwKwW
"Whatever!"
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYGPG2VHub
"We are leaving at ten-thirty," Katrina yells at her."
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXZD382f6l
"Yeah, yeah, ten-thirty," she repeats.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcrdRd5O3x
We go into the café, and there is all sort of people in there. It is cool here. We find a couch to sit on in the corner. Chucky runs off to find Marley leaving us to sit on the couch. I look at her and smile, and her face beams back at me. A woman comes and takes our order, and we order the same thing, Chai lattes.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21L6cV29vy
"I'm sorry about your mom," she says in a quiet voice.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s1jBkVQ1P
"Thank you," I say. "Small things remind me of my mom; it's weird."
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdLTgojIMj
"Like the pudding tonight?" She asks.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkJrVonP4c
"Yeah, you caught that?" I ask.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwSR86JMSZ
"Yeah, I notice a lot of things." She smiles.

"I do, too," I say.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfVr1ii2Rz
"Like what?"
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeueNVeLaxv
"That you and your sister compete with each other hardcore."
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDTHpeNv5P
"She makes me feel less than. She talks a lot of shit to everyone."
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwnFY7euDC
"She is jealous of you."
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTImK0jnuvn
"Jealous of me? We look the same. What is to be jealous of?"
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C44Q3xCao
"You are both beautiful, but let me tell you something. It's not what it's about the outside; it's about the beauty in the inside that makes you stunning," I say, pointing at her. I can feel my face blaze red. I can't believe I just said that.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS7JYv9oTA
"Stop," she laughs, bumping her arm into mine. Her phone vibrates, and she looks at it. "Fuck, Karo left with Pete. She said she'd be back at ten-thirty."
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsX129kvL2
"Damn, well, if she gets in trouble, that's on her. The nights young, let's have fun! "
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI90tkNrrV7
"You're right! Let's have loser fun!" she laughs! "Long live the losers!"

We listen to really amazing poetry and hear their friend, who is now my friend Marley, sing. He sings a song called 'Blue Ain't Your Color.' Everyone around us begins to dance. I hold out my hand to Katrina; she takes it, smiling. I put her hands around my neck, and mine goes around her waist, and we sway to the music. She puts her head on my chest, and I move her around the dance floor, and I see a flash and notice that Chucky took a picture of us. He gives me a thumbs-up, and I nod at him. She looks up at me and smiles, and I smile back at her, and another flash goes off. I have to get those pictures from Chucky. I take my phone out, and I tap her to look up, and I take a selfie of us. It looks fantastic; she looks amazing.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCz55YeNjU
"Guys, it's getting late," Chucky says. "We have time for a quick food run before we have to be home. Let's go!"
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWZyTBjdgo
"We have to wait for Karo. She will be here at ten-thirty. She left with Pete."
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtabk7GZWd
We begin to walk out, and it is jam-packed with people trying to get out too. I grab Katrina by the hand, and I maneuver us out of the café to the sidewalk. It's cold outside, and I notice her shivering, so I take off my leather jacket and put it over her shoulders. She puts her arms through the arms, and I help her pull her hair out of the back of it.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE2sZqrZRM
"Are you warm now?" I ask
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxM1iE5FIB
"Yes, thank you. But now you'll be cold."
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaBJoJNhNh
"I will be okay; I will just stand close to you." I smile. She takes her phone out to text her sister. When she's done, I take it from her and put my number in her phone.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl43sy0cC1C
"Give me your phone." She says. "Now, you have my number too."
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Crau7lp1F
I grab my phone back from her and send her the pictures that I took of us along with a picture of Chucky, Katrina, and me. She allows me to post them on Instagram. I caption them, "New Town, New Friends #losersforever." She smiles at the post. I turn my back to her and send a text; and She looks at her phone, and her smile reaches her eyes. She bites her thumbnail, and Katrina taps something into her phone.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRXlokZtLS
ME: Katrina, you are beautiful inside and out.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnqOBsO1Xz
KATRINA: STOP! But thank you! So, you are you!
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqgxweCbRX
I turn to her, and we move close to each other. I push her hair behind her ear, and her eyes beam up at me. My thumb strokes her face, and I go in for the kiss, and I'm stopped when I hear Chucky. Damn!
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnVgdem1J1
"Dude, it's almost curfew. Where the fuck is Karo!" he yells. "Shit, my bad."
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwXmSCL2FD
"No worries," I say. "What do you want to do, Katrina?"
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYToq8dtSNF
"I'm not about to get grounded for her stupid ass. If Karolina were waiting for me, she'd leave me!"
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BhyrrTwjy
"Let's go!" I say.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZQMVzgXmk
"Dude, I like you! Chucky laughs. "I like you for my cousin."
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ709RqCozhB
"Chucky!" Katrina shrieks.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqPfdnQHIZ
"It's okay, Katrina. I like you for me too." I smile.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojEPyj1QKo
We drive down the road a few minutes when Katrina's phone chimes. She tells us that Karolina is at a house party and she will meet us at home. She says that her dad's meeting will run long and he won't notice. I shake my head and laugh at her. We have a few minutes to stop at Burger King to grab junk food. We make it back to her house with two minutes to spare. We head into the house and head into the house. The first thing that I notice is our dads are in the kitchen having a beer.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg28Wm3LES6
"Where is Karolina?" her dad asks.
