My friend Vania invited me over to watch a musical because she found out I’d never seen Dear Evan Hansen. She told me it was messed up but great in a twisted way. I told her I would if she promised to make jalapeño poppers and so a deal was struck.
I show up, carrying a case of beer and some popcorn. She opens the door, first thing I notice, “you dyed your hair! It looks so good!”
She had dyed her bangs orange and the rest of her hair a bright red. She runs her hand through her hair while smiling at me. She raises her eyebrows and lifts her shirt, exposing her toned stomach. “I also got a new tattoo!”
She shows me a lollipop with a bow on the stick and something frozen in the candy. I take a closer look, “Is that a scarab beetle?”
“Yeah!” She says excitedly and does a little hop. She gives me a quick hug and snatches the bag of popcorn. “Yum! Come on in!”
She turns around and leads the way to her living room. “I’m thinking of getting another lollipop on the other side but this time have a tooth floating in it.”
