CHAPTER SIX

FRIDAY NIGHT, Jimena and Serena strutted up to the line of kids waiting to go inside Planet Bang. Serena recognized some of the kids and waved. The fast rhythm of the music thumped through the walls and undulated around them, making them move their heads with the beat, but other things made Serena’s heart jitter. She looked around hoping to see Zahi. The new lashes made a strange shadow at the top of her vision.

“Scope it out.” Jimena nodded in the direction of the crowd. “You ever seen so many churrisimos vatos?” A sultry smile crossed her lips as she caught the sideways glances of the guys in line looking her over.

“I’m only looking for one.”

“You’re going to knock him out with those lashes.” Jimena was still scanning the guys. “They’re awesome and you know it.”

Serena let a sly smile cross her face. She knew she looked good. She never cared if a guy liked the way she dressed. She loved the lashes and the glitter waves she’d painted on her bare legs. She’d spent the afternoon in Freddie’s having extensions added to her hair. Now her black roots with the red tips had gorgeous tight curls that reached to her shoulders.

“Do you see him?”

Jimena shook her head. “You’ve got it bad.”

“I can’t believe I’m so nervous.” Serena took a deep breath.

“Hormones.” Jimena laughed. “It’s not nerves. It’s anticipation. You’re dying to get your lips on his.” The stenciled silver lightning bolts shimmered in her hair when she moved.

They both wore wide cuffs of sequins.

Jimena wore silver and Serena wore gold, to match their outfits.

“Maybe he’s inside already.” Serena stepped forward.

“Calm down,” Jimena soothed.

At the door they opened their purses for security. A security guard with a gold tooth smiled and waved them inside to the cashier.

They paid and walked into the large interior that had once been a ballroom. The pulse of the music made the floor vibrate as machines on either side of the stage released mist into the room. The vapors caught the light show. Blue and red lasers pierced the air in time to the punk-rock beat.

They walked around the crowded dance floor. Guys turned and stared.

“I don’t know why you’re so nervous about Zahi, anyway,” Jimena commented. “You could have your pick of the guys.”

“Maybe,” Serena answered with a big smile. “But Zahi’s not just a guy. He is total perfection.”

Jimena laughed.

The music stopped and the deejay hopped back and forth on the stage.

“Come on, raise the roof!” he shouted into a microphone. “Throw your hands up. Come on, raise the roof!”

Kids stopped dancing and lifted their hands to the ceiling in time to his cadence. He built the energy high and then let industrial music pump against the wall. The music took over and everyone started dancing. Jimena and Serena stood on the edge of the dance floor. The music beat through them and they started to move.

“I don’t see him.” Serena could feel her heart beating rapidly with anticipation as she scanned the dark corners and the dance floor.
