Chapter 13


	Katalina rolled over the next morning. Michael slept with a slight snore. She sat up on an elbow her hair falling over her head.
	“ Michael,” she said softly.
	“ Hmmmm?” he rolled over putting an arm around her.
	“ Michael.”
	“ Yes,” he opened his eyes.
	“ I have to go to school.”
	“ Alright. What time is it?”
	“ Six o’clock.”
	“ Whoa!” he jumped up. He opened the closet and pulled out a suit. “ I have a big presentation today.”
	“ Really?” she pulled an outfit from her suitcase.
	“ You look cute in that schoolgirl outfit,” he kissed her.
	“ I love it when you talk dirty.”
	She picked up her bookbag. Michael grabbed some things from the easel.
“ You’re my good luck charm,” he kissed her again. 
	They climbed into the Darango. He took her to school.
	“ I’ll pick you up this afternoon,” he said with a kiss to her cheek.
	She climbed out. She waved back and headed to her friends. As she passed one girl called out:
	“ Wow! Your brother’s hot!”
	Katalina laughed as she went to her friends.
“ Hey,” she said noticing Desree looked pissed.
	“ Cool Darango,” Devra said.
	“ I think my beemer’s better though.”
	“ True.”
	“ Desree, what’s wrong?”
	“ You.”
	“ What?”
“ You and Michael!” she screeched.
	“ Desree!”
	“ Shhh!” Devra echoed.
	“ Fine!” Desree said through clenched teeth. Then she walked away.
	“ What’s her problem?” Katalina asked.
	“ She’s too narrow minded.”
	This was the first time Katalina saw any problems arise from the situation. Would others follow? Would Desree still be her friend? Would it be worth losing her for Michael? What was she willing to give up for him?
