The doorbell rings.
Suprise!
I'm in my ratty robe
with pictures of sunglasses
splattered on the fabric.
I peek out and see
Cali, Zoe, and Jessa.
When I open the door,
Jessa says,
"Dude, you look like shit."
That's Jessa.
Always telling it like it is.
They don't wait for me
to invite them in.
They each give me a hug,
then plop themselves
on the couch.
"So.
What's new?" I ask.
"I got a puppy," Cali says.
"A cockapoo. I named him Gumball."
"Gumball?" I ask.
"He's so cute," Zoe says.
"But even bigger news is Cali met someone," Jessa blurts out.
"You did?" I ask.
"He was a senior last year," Cali says.
"But it's still early in the game.
I have to work on him some more.
Get him to ask me out."
As she talks,
I notice how gorgeous
they all look
in their tank tops
and shorts,
their tan legs
and painted toes.
They look
how California girls
should look
in the summer.
I glance down
at myself.
I've got sunglasses
on my robe.
And that's about it
for me.
