Carrie
I stopped on the front step of her house, wondering what to say. I'd seen Jack's car there, so I knew they were going out tonight. What did Mirella see in that fellow, anyway? He was by turns boorish and crass, then the greatest, most understanding friend you ever had.
Jack was so proud of his midnight blue 1969 Camaro SS with the big white racing stripe. I know every inch of that car almost as well as he does; mainly because he won't shut up about it.
I was ready for the club tonight, and had hoped to catch Mirella alone, maybe she'd finally tell me what's been bugging her. Nothing for it but to ring the doorbell.
Mirella answered the door, looked at me, her eyes seeming to take in my deep red silk blouse, short black skirt, and my shiny black biker boots with the big silver buckles. Her face is a mask, unreadable for a moment, then she takes my pale, freckled hand in her tanned ones.
"Carrie! Hi!" Mirella says, just a little too brightly. "We were just talking about you."
