It was early in the morning, and due to Kina being thick in the head and not listen to Kenny, who told him that she should stay in the bed that could fit only one person, he found himself awake, with Kina hugging him tightly, arms and legs, on the floor, covered with a blanket, and a pillow underneath each other’s hand
“Whaa–”
Whispered Kenny, with his eyes widened as far as the moon, instantly blushing, feeling the tight grab of Kina on his body.
She had a bright smile on her face, like she was enjoying every second of it.
Trying to get up, Kenny tried to move her hand, but with every single move, even the slightest, Kina would be moving and grunting her eyebrows, but when he stopped moving, her reaction came back to the happier place.
“Now what?”
He mouthed, annoyedly, accepting his fate that he has to stay in that position until she wakes up, He closed his eyes, trying to get back to sleep, and before his mind would’ve been sent to the land of dreams, Kenny realized something out of the sudden
“This isn’t even that bad”
And decided whether to let out a wanted smile to come out, or if he should hide it.
“HAH!”
Shouted Kina, quickly getting up, startling Kenny; almost giving him a heart attack
“Haaaah…”
He scoffed, shaking his head left and right
“I could really die if you do that, you know that, right?”
Seriously said Kenny, giving out a slight smirk afterwards
Kenny prepared to get up, but he was dragged by Kina, covering themselves with a thin blanket.
Giggles came from Kina, while confusion came from Kenny
“Wait, wait, what is going o-ooon-”
“Heheh”
Placing both of their skateboards down, after arriving at the orange farm or Kina’s father; Kennyjust finishing his bread with jam and peanut butter, they went directly to work
“Thanks for sticking with me here”
Suddenly, something very insignificant happened, but what marked a reaction on Kenny’s face.
A row of birds flew right over them
*They’re forming a “V” shape… incredible*
“Naah, I can’t let you do all the work, right?”
She asked, punching a friendly gesture into Kenny’s shoulder, who acted like it hurt, but actually it did not.
Few hours later, when they finished, Jorge was waiting for them, thanking Kenny, giving him a
handshake, a hug, and then a letter with something thick in it, in which was money.
“Hello, dad…”
He gave Kenny a firm handshake and then hugged both of them at the same time, trying to hold back his tears
“Look at you two working together and all. Two months earliest you guys didn’t even know each other”
“Time really flies really fast”
Continued Kenny
“Come on, I’ll get you guys home”
Said Jorge
“Oh no, we got the skate-”
“I insist Kenny, don’t worry”
Kina went to drink some water from the fountain, which was around 30 meters away from them.
“Mr.Jorge, I got a question”
Started Kenny
“Shoot, Kenny, anything”
“Tomorrow I’m leaving with the plane. My car broke down in the road so I just walked here, but the road back is way too long. Back home… I don’t have anything, but here, here I have
everything. Is that okay if I stay here, at least for a bit of time?”
Jorge offered Kenny a handshake, which Kenny accepted happily.
“What kind of question is that? It’s your choice, not mine, but I will be more than happy if you
stay. You got my daughter back to me, I don’t understand how, but you did, which I couldn’t do. I respect that, really Kenny”
“That’s sweet, Jorge”
Said Kenny with a slight smirk engraved on his face.
Jorge drove Kenny home, in the original car-truck from which we’ve seen on the first day, which now had the emblem of their own brand.
“Thanks for the ride, Jorge”
Gently said Kenny, closing the door of the car-truck
“Byeee Kenny, see you in an hour, don’t be late!”
She shouted, waving to him
“This festival will be the most important event of this entire year, don’t miss the summer ending festival, Kenny!”
Joyfully exclaimed Jorge In an hour, Kenny took a shower, washed his teeth, and made himself smell really nice, as well as trying to write for his brand new Novel, which was really hard because he was too nervous for his first actual “date” ever.
Exactly one hour and one minute has passed from the mentioned period, and a quick and
fainting knock was heard on Kenny’s door Kenny opened the door, and a goddess waited for him, dressed in a colorful skirt and white sneakers.
Her face was all “painted” as girls usually do, but this was the first time that Kenny
has seen her this “painted”
“Wow… you look amazing”
Gently said Kenny, checking out every single angle of her body
“Come on!”
She exclaimed, excitedly, grabbing his hand, dragging him out of the house, after which she let go
They walked on foot, until the festival, since the walk there was only like five minutes, and the
entire five minutes were filled by continuing dialogue between the two of them.
The whole place was well decorated and a big place, with endless people, loud music in the
background, and many dialogues going on.
There was also the sunset going on, way behind the whole event, which will perfectly close their night.
“Who is that?”
Gasped Kenny, pointing at Mr.Jorge who was talking with a woman around his age.
They were talking and laughing together at a table, while the woman enjoyed a beer and Jorge a glass of juice.
“I don’t know, but let’s not interrupt them”
Their part in this story is ending when Kina whispers something inside Kenny’s ear, for which
they both laughed uncontrollably.
Kenny whispered something back and both were wheezing.
Following, Kina wanted to drag her foot across Kenny’s legs, making him fall, and almost
succeeded.
Chuckling, Kenny took his hands out of his pockets and looked down at her feet,
wanting to do the same.
Giggling, Kina ran away and Kenny followed behind
“I’ll catch you… oh– I’ll catch you!”
“They called me the “lightning” at school”
“That’s how fast you were skipping classes?”
“Now we’re making fun, alright! C’mere!”
“Noo!”
Laughter and Chortle filled up air between them, playing games and jokes on each other.

Dragging himself out of his home, in a very slow manner. Stephan had one bottle of beer in his left hand, which drank entirely on his way to his brand new car, which he got from Jorge, for hisbirthday, and one bottle of whiskey in his right hand, that was his supervisor in this trip that he was about to commit to.
“Yesterday I was good (hic)… Today I’m fiiiine, and tomorrow (hic) I’ll be gone”
Sang Stephan, with a forced and different tone in his voice.
He turned the engine on and went for a drive. The car wiggles left and right because of
Stephan’s blurry vision. The alcohol was doing his best in ruining Stephan’s way of thinking
straight.
The couple's favorite music was blasting on the radio.
Feeling himself in the moment, Stephan
raised himself, with one foot on the speed acceleration that was all the way down, and one on
the steering wheel. His vision blurry, yet he felt something divine, he felt invincible.
Stephan sang the melody without his voice being heard, just mumbling the lyrics, while finishing the bottle of the whiskey. The throw of the bottle made him feel empty… so empty that he started crying, then laughing, then crying again. He placed himself back down on the seat, and shook the steering wheel out of anger, almost taking out the whole entire piece of car equipment, followed by the continuous honk of a truck, and its blinding machinery lights, which Stephan realized way too late.
The camera went blank, pitch dark, and the sudden noise of the crash was the last thing we
heard.
THE END
Please do not drink while driving. It is not safe. Someone is waiting for you at home.
