“We helped change her tire and we followed her back home,” he supplies.
“If you’re not going to be useful, get out,” I repeat.
“Are you just going to pretend like you didn’t hear Angel’s question?” Kai instigates, smiling innocently at me. “You guys eloped, didn’t you?”
“Váyanse a la verga.” I wave my middle finger at all of them and continue packing my cassette tapes.
Kai places a palm on his chest, shocked and appalled written all over his face. “Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?”
“Danny, I’m going to tell Mom.” I roll my eyes and ignore her but she’s like a fly, dead set on being annoying. “Anyway, if she’s your friend, why do you have?—”
“Shut. Up,” I grit.

“Nothing,” I mutter.
JOSEFINE
“I think he’s hot, but that’s it.”
We’ve been going on about Daniel for forty minutes now. She won’t drop it and I’m on the verge of leaving.
“Okay, let’s play a scenario.”
“No.”
“Just hear me out, okay?” She doesn’t wait for me to reply before she’s giving me a play-by-play of her scenario.

“You’re so cute. My little ray of sunshine,” she coos, grazing her index finger under my chin.
I blankly stare at her. “I’m not little. You’re literally a year younger than me.”
“I’m taller than you,” she smugly states.
She’s not wrong; she’s six feet tall to be exact.
“Your AC stops working and the only working fan in your house happens to be in his room. It’s an inferno in your house because the temperatures have spiked and?—”
“That would never happen.”
“It’s just a hypothetical.”
“You didn’t say that before.”
“Well now I am.Hypotheticallyspeaking, let’s say that your AC stops working?—”
“Vi, what is it with you and sex? Can’t two people of the opposite sex live together platonically?” I take a sip of my drink, hoping I’m not giving away how warm my cheeks feel.
“It can happen, but you guys have known each other for what? A month? And now he’s moving in? Yeah, I don’t buy thewe’re just friendsplatonicbullshit.”
DANIEL
“You know, friends with benefitsisa thing,” Gray starts.
