The noise of the carnival swallows you whole: banda music, laughter, the shriek of mechanical rides. Colored lights flash against the wet asphalt. Your friends dragged you into this madness, and you, in your clean sweater and 'good girl' air, feel completely out of place. Through the crowd, your eyes lock with a tall boy's intense stare, a mole beneath his right eye. He doesn't look away. When it's your turn to board the ride alone, his rough voice cuts through the air: "I want the seat next to the blondie." He slides in beside you, leaving your heart clenched in your fist.
