Sean quickly said goodbye to his dad and brother, before hurrying out the front door to meet Lyla. Don’t be too thirsty,” he said to his mirror self before his phone buzzed. Okay?”Īfter spending two hours putting an outfit together, Sean texted Lyla before splashing his face with water.

If she likes you, you won’t need to act like anyone but yourself. You don’t need to dress or act any type of way to impress some girl. You need to wear something that makes you feel good. Sean nodded mutely, not trusting himself to speak. He heard Esteban clear his throat, before speaking. “There’s this girl… And I’m trying to impress her… But I’m too awkward, and I don’t know how to talk to her, or what to wear, or anything like that.” Sean finally admitted, before looking at the ground and wishing it would swallow him whole. This time, he was smiling so bright it made Sean feel like smiling too. A few seconds passed, before Esteban’s face reappeared. There was a moment of silence, and Sean could tell his dad had stopped all work on the car. “Okay… If you say so,” his dad said, before disappearing under the car again.Ĭome on, just ask him. I like a girl and I don’t know what to wear and I want to impress her. “Sean? Two visits in one afternoon, you’re starting to scare me,” Esteban teased, rolling himself out from under the car. They said their goodbyes and ended the call before Sean got up and headed down to the garage for the second time that day.

“So, what time should I come and pick you up?” Lyla asked when they were finally alone again. The older boy knew when to accept defeat, and pinched his nose with a sigh.Īfter Daniel spent about twenty minutes showing his costume off to Lyla, he ran back to his room to add the ‘final touches’. I wanna see it,” Lyla added, sticking her tongue out at Sean. I wanna see his zombie costume,” Lyla said with a pout. “Oh! Hi, Lyla!” he said sweetly, with a small wave. “It's zombie blood, for my costume,” Daniel said matter-of-factly before his attention was caught by Lyla’s face on the laptop screen. “What?” Daniel asked dumbly, before looking down at his shirt. “SEAN! Look what I made!” his little brother yelled, drenched in what looked like blood… Sean was about to respond when he was interrupted by the sound of his door flying open. “I saw you look,” Lyla said with a smirk. “I AM NOT!” Sean shrieked, before sneaking a glance down at his keyboard. Her hair was blue, a stark contrast to the fiery red hair she had before. “Woah!” Sean said, after seeing Jenn’s post. Lyla would never let him live down point number two.He was clueless when it came to most things really.

Talking to girls was definitely not something he was good at. If he could just figure out how to talk to girls. But the Halloween party is tonight, and Sean is ready to make his move. He’s liked Jenn for months, and Lyla teases him relentlessly about it. Lyla snorted at Sean’s sudden frantic clicking and typing.
