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?
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3XpDnzNTj
"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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70PHq6m7E1
"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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGzNLxeRx1
"Yeah, Katrina, you look awesome!" Chucky says. "Karo, you sure you want to go? You say that the Cyber Café is for losers."
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu9bs5rgsi
"Yes, I want to come." She says.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ7RKhXYsq
"Let check with dad if I can take his truck?" I say. I knock on the office door.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwanltat4Bt
"Come in," Tony says.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd7g2tdvF4
"Pa, how long will you be? Can I take your truck?"
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicirRV7Vso
"We will be well past midnight," my dad says. "Go ahead and take the truck. Con cuidado."
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpKUY1ssfK
"I'll be careful. Is it okay if I drive everyone to the café, Mr. Camacho?"
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ929ABg1Fl2
"Of course," he says.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCiEjExgRS
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!
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p4vpSMwjt
"Let's hit the road!" I say, and they cheer.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYX2IKsXbJ
"Yes, no Uber tonight!" Chucky laughs.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAjloX8xVO
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03js1acvA8
"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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO95p5hcCl
"Thank you." She says and smiles shyly.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngQLJSg2vY
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOvck9FIJC
"What are you doing, Karo?" Katrina asks.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOLgS1xFO6
"I texted my friends to meet me here. I'm not gonna hang with you losers. Marco, you want to hang with us?"
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJiSeka7NN
"No, thanks. I guess you can call me a loser too." I say. She rolls her eyes and walks off with her friends.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUujFGfFXXl
"Whatever!"
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsGN9tmXlV
"We are leaving at ten-thirty," Katrina yells at her."
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwZNKVi34t
"Yeah, yeah, ten-thirty," she repeats.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGoRSLOxNl
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4G4ocaVxK
"I'm sorry about your mom," she says in a quiet voice.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLa93HlpFJ
"Thank you," I say. "Small things remind me of my mom; it's weird."
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXcw7lsfkF
"Like the pudding tonight?" She asks.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhitHbyv13I
"Yeah, you caught that?" I ask.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6iK6EtKbr
"Yeah, I notice a lot of things." She smiles.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOa9Vw3FiQ
"I do, too," I say.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwK8zMvA1v
"Like what?"
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSra2149D5
"That you and your sister compete with each other hardcore."
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDTK4e8E3L
"She makes me feel less than. She talks a lot of shit to everyone."
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywxBsrchAB
"She is jealous of you."
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvvVRASsNX
"Jealous of me? We look the same. What is to be jealous of?"
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTbk384Ntq
"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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgtladj1ao
"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."
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFkHkkAMpP
"Damn, well, if she gets in trouble, that's on her. The nights young, let's have fun! "
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuahNSmgbA
"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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGzl18WuUQ
"Guys, it's getting late," Chucky says. "We have time for a quick food run before we have to be home. Let's go!"
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3Vd0qKDta
"We have to wait for Karo. She will be here at ten-thirty. She left with Pete."
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgslzsPWBSE
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDitJamps8c
"Are you warm now?" I ask
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcen7zHjoH
"Yes, thank you. But now you'll be cold."
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiV7oBeNd1
"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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjfmAhlUk9
"Give me your phone." She says. "Now, you have my number too."
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMPjXXo67M
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthVVYXBiiB
ME: Katrina, you are beautiful inside and out.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a5zLHLO4i
KATRINA: STOP! But thank you! So, you are you!
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPjb27S4NU
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!
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oVuisUJlu
"Dude, it's almost curfew. Where the fuck is Karo!" he yells. "Shit, my bad."
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIai5Risxf
"No worries," I say. "What do you want to do, Katrina?"
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmvYo6lgSM
"I'm not about to get grounded for her stupid ass. If Karolina were waiting for me, she'd leave me!"
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeGTktR2Wg
"Let's go!" I say.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCOJGPo10N
"Dude, I like you! Chucky laughs. "I like you for my cousin."
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf8qjr7vkq
"Chucky!" Katrina shrieks.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpmDyU86c2
"It's okay, Katrina. I like you for me too." I smile.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmHDYoOJlN
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCymTtn5T43
"Where is Karolina?" her dad asks.
