“Thanks.” I gripped the wheel tighter.

10 minutes went by in complete silence.

“Finally.” I said and pulled up to her house.
“Yeah thanks Jackass.” She closed the door.
“No problem.” I drove home.

7:47

I gelled my hair into disheveled spikes and fixed my collar.

Beeeep Beeeep Beeeep. I grabbed my phone.

“Yo!” I said.
“I’ll be there in 5 minutes.” Louie said and hung up.
I shut my phone.

Where’s my Axe spray? Ah here we are. I sprayed myself.

Nice. I walked downstairs.

“Ma! I’m going out!” I said and went outside.
“Ciao!” She called from inside.

Louie’s Kia Rio pulled up, blasting techno music.

“Sup bro?” He greeted me.
“Sup.” I closed the door.
“I think you should hook up with Jessica.” He started driving.
“She’s cool.” I said. And pretty, funny, and smart.
“Yup, she’s going to be there tonight.”
“Nice.” I smiled. Screw Erica.
“That’s my man!” He tapped my shoulder and pulled up by Ricky’s house.
