“So, spill it. How was the first date?” Piper asked, crossing her leg, and laying back into the dull blue chair in my living room.

“Oh man, let's just say it wasn't a shining moment.” Rolling my eyes, I tucked my palms between my thighs.

“You need to give me more than that. What happened, what was he like, was he cute?” Flailing her hand, she nodded at me. “Don't sugar coat it, give me details.”

“Piper, I made a complete ass of myself—as usual.” Laughing, I said, “My date left covered in liquor and with a busted nose.”

Clapping her hands, her face beamed. “That's priceless, he won't forget that night, now will he?”

I couldn't stop giggling. She was right, and it wasn't the first time a date ended in injury. But at least at this point in my life, it was something I could laugh about.

Reaching for the glass of wine on the coffee table, I must have smirked in a way that made it look like I was hiding something. “What are you not telling me?” Piper asked.

Nope, not this time.

Was I going to hide what happened between Mateo and myself? Absolutely.

That was between us, not for her greedy little gossip mouth to spread to everyone else. I knew my friend, if she could plaster that news on Twitter or some other social media, she absolutely would.

“Nothing, it's just crazy how I get into those situations. You remember what happened to Jackson back in high school, don't you?”

Shaking her head, Piper's mouth dropped open. “You know I do.”

Back in eleventh grade, I had dated this guy named Jackson for a few months. It should have been a sweet, normal relationship, that ended like any other high school love does. But not for me, not with these feet.

Jackson had taken me to the junior prom, which ended in horror. By the end of the night, I had spilled two sodas on his tux, crushed his feet in my heels, then to my disbelief, a giant ring I decided to wear, caught the seam of his pants.

A small string was dangling, and I, trying to be nice, decided to pluck it away. That single gesture left him with a giant hole in his ass, and his bare backside on display.

Unbeknownst to me, Jackson had decided not to wear boxers. I suppose he thought the night would end with us in the backseat of his car.

Instead, he ran out mortified, leaving me alone, shocked, and single the next morning. He didn't speak to me again after that and we had every class together our senior year.

“How are the kids?” I asked, trying to send our conversation in a totally different direction.

“You see this?” Piper asked, pointing at her scalp.

“See what?” Leaning over, I examined her head.

“The freaking gray hairs, the kids are giving them to me, I know it.” Shaking her head, she went on. “You're lucky you only have one, Vi. And your one is a damn angel. Do you have any idea how lucky you are?”

“Yeah, but you know a teenage girl is a handful.
