I laugh at the horrified look on Kate’s face.
“Doesn’t it hurt?” she asks as I open the door to enter the spa.
“Sure, at first, but the pain lessens with each wax.”
I walk to the front desk to see a very beautiful associate. She has perfectly styled hair, manicure, makeup, and expensive clothes.
“Hello. How may I help you?”
“I would like to know if there’s an opening for a Brazilian wax today.”
“I’ll have to check the schedule first. Please give me a few minutes.”
“Absolutely.”
We each take a seat in the waiting area.
“Kate, you should try a wax today. Start off with a simple bikini wax where they just clean you up a little down there.”
“Maybe next time, I want to think about it first.”
The associate looks up from the schedule. “It looks like our Esthetician, Shelby, has an opening at 5:15 p.m. Can you wait for fifteen minutes?”
“Sure.”
Forty-five minutes later we arrive at the mall.
We walk around, each of us making purchases before heading to the food court for dinner.
While we’re at a table eating, a group of boys walk over.
“So, you guys go to Montgomery Academy?” asks the boy with the black hair and gray eyes.
“Yeah, so? What’s your point?” I ask.
I notice Jamal and Kate have petrified looks on their faces.
Jamal, Kate, and I are still in uniform.
The boy laughs.
What the hell is going on?
“May we sit down?”
“Sure, it’s a free country.”
Jamal and Kate look even more alarmed.
Black hair and two other boys sit at our table.
“My name is Jake. This is Matt and Joe.”
Matt has sun-kissed hair with two shades of blond, and light brown eyes. Joe’s hair is dark brown, and it’s tied in a ponytail secured at the nape of his neck, and he has blue eyes.
“My name is Cocoa, that’s Jamal and Kate. Do you attend Montgomery Academy?” I ask.
None of these boys look familiar to me. They’re not wearing school uniforms either. They’re big and muscular, so I’m assuming they must be football players. All three of them are really good-looking.
