Carmen: “Happy birthday, Jenny. I’ll give you a call, okay?”

Jenny grinned: “Okay.”

Carmen joins Papi who is waiting for her. Papi turns around and grins at Tasha who shakes her head.

Alice: “Oh no…Is Papi really trying to seduce Carmen?”

Tasha: “I think so…”

Alice: “This could end in a disaster…”

Papi’s limousine

Carmen explains Papi where she lives and they start to talk while Papi is driving.

Carmen: “Is that your limousine?”

Papi: “Yes, of course. I mean. Actually, I drive rich people around. That’s my job, so yes. It’s my limousine. How do you earn your money?”

Carmen grinned: “I’m a DJ. I used to do it at the Planet.”

Papi: “So you like music, huh.”

Carmen laughs: “Yes, I do. Thank god, otherwise my job would be a torture.”

Papi: “You know, if you want to, we could go out and dance. I know a club where they play some awesome music, and their food is not bad.”

Carmen feels a bit uncomfortable, because she is still far away from being ready to date someone new. But she knows that her life has to go on. Shane moved on, so she had do to it, too.

Carmen: “Uhm, yes okay. I would love to go to that club with you.”

Papi smiled: “Nice. What about tomorrow?”

Carmen: “Uh…no I can’t. I have a family dinner tomorrow. What about Friday? At eight?”

Papi: “Alright. So here we are…I’ll see you at Friday then?”

Carmen: “Okay. Thank you for the ride…Good night.”

Papi: “Hey…you’re welcome.”

Papi pulled Carmen close to her and gave her a little kiss on the cheek which made Carmen blush. She quickly gets out of the car and is relieved. Papi looks at Carmen until she’s in the house.

Papi smiles cockily: “Oh yes. Papi will rock your world, baby.”

Shane, Jenny and Max’s house

Shane had a headache although she didn’t drink anything last night. She looked miserable.

Shane: “Shay!! Come on, wake up. You need to eat before we leave.”

Shay: “I’m coming!”

They sit down and eat breakfast. Shay notices that her sister is upset. Instead of talking she’s quiet and seems to be thinking of something.

Shay: “Are you sad?”

Shane looked at her brother: “Uhm…Yes, a bit. But don’t worry, I can handle it, alright? Tell me what you did last night.”

Shay: “I played with my computer and watched a movie. Why are you sad?”

Shane couldn’t help but laugh. Her brother was too curious for her taste.

Shane: “Okay, there is this girl. Her name is Carmen…And I didn’t see her for a long time, but yesterday she came back and I saw her again.”

Shay: “ Don’t you like her?”

Shane: “I do. I do like her. Actually I like her a lot.”

Shay: “ So, why are you upset?”

Shane: “Because she’s angry with me.”

Shay: “Apologize to her.”

Shane: “ I did, but she’s still angry.”

Shay: “You should do it again and again until it works. I do the same with my friends when we argue about something.”

Shane laughs: “Okay. I guess I can learn a lot more from you than you learn from me.”

Shay grinned: “Yes, I think so, too.”

Shane laughs and nudges her little brother.

Shane: “Come on. Hurry up, you have to be in school in 20 minutes.”

Shay sighs: “Okay…Oh, but can we go to WAX after school?”

Shane: “There are two things you have to do before I say yes. First of all you have to say please. Secondly you have to hurry up now.”

Shay: “Okay, deal!”

Shane smiles and watches her brother run into the bathroom to get changed. Even though she felt like crap after the last night Shay could always make laugh again…
