The next morning I went to The Juke Joint, lucky me I saw Ford there I asked him if he was okay.

"I'm fine, Stan doesn't think me liking men is that weird, he just hates that I like Jason."

"Did he tell your dad?"

"No."

Okay so he really is okay we had brunch, then we went to his house. I saw Stan working on his car. He was wearing some very used jeans that were ripped at the knees with suspenders, and he wore no shirt. I could see his perfectly sculpted chest, his abs were very defined, his dark brown chest hair covered all of his chest as far as I could see.

"Oh, hey Carla. Sorry I look kinda messed up right now."

"Don't, you look hot."

Oops, I didn't mean to say that out loud.

"Really? Thanks, I really like your dress. It shows off your figure."

"God, get a room."

"Ima just finish up with the car real fast and I'll go hang out with you guys."

Ford and I went to their hiding spot where they had a swing set on top of a cave and a cute little boat on the shore. It said 'Stan o' War.'

"What's that boat for?"

"Oh it was just an idea that Stan and I had when we were younger. We were gonna sail off and go to tons of beaches and meet tons of hot babes. But I know now that I don't want to do that. I'll be a brilliant scientist just you wait! I'll go to the best school in the country!"

"What about Stan?"

"What about him? If he can't live on his own he'll just take over dad's pawn shop. And he'll get to see little Margie grow up."

"Who's Margie?"

"Oh that's our little sister, just born a few months ago, she's still a baby."

At that moment Stan came out he was wearing a wife beater now but it didn't cover much anyway.

"Hey guys."

"Hi!"

"You guys wanna go to The Juke Joint?"

"Yeah!"

"Okay."

Stan and Ford seemed to still be cold with each other. I tried to warm things up by asking how their day was. They both said fine. I told Stan that I had had breakfast at The Juke Joint and he asked what I had. I told him toast and coffee.

"Carla, why on earth do you eat so little? All we ever see you eat is a small snack yet you look good. Whatever do you eat?"

When he said that all I could do was think of my father telling me to stop eating, that if I got fat I was no use to anyone, the only reason I was still in the house was because I was pretty. I started to cry. Stan realized he had said something and got on one knee since I was looking at the floor to look me in the eyes.

"Carla? Are you okay?"

I nodded, but I wasn't and I was not about to go and tell the guys about what a weak and incapable girl I am. No way am I gonna do that. I could feel Ford's eyes on me and he said,

"Com'on Stan, if she doesn't wanna tell us that's fine. Let's just go to The Joint and get her some lemon cake."

"Thanks guys." I whispered.

As we walked into the joint we sat down and ordered some cake but there was a hippie looking guy who was handing out fliers. "What are those fliers for?" I asked. "Oh well tonight at The Joint we're gonna have a karaoke party-like thing everyones invited. We'll all dance and at the end I'll perform my song for the prettiest girl in the room." I looked up at Stan and Ford and begged them to come with me. Stan agreed but Ford said he heard there was a science fair next week and that he thought he might get a chance to win if he tried. We both took a flier and decided to just meet up back at The Joint that night. When I got home I saw a note from my mother that said to not bother her she's with a "client." I already knew that since I could hear banging from the ceiling. I went to my room and changed. I wore my hair down with a pretty flower in my hair, a pink v-neck shirt with a white stripe along the neck, my short shorts with a white and pink belt, and some brown flats. When I got there Stan was wearing a white shirt tucked into his jeans and some red past ankle high shoes. I kissed him and said,

"You look nice."

"Right back at 'cha, Carla."

We walked in and danced until the end of the night when the hippie guy made his announcement, "As you all know, this party was held to reveal the most beautiful girl in Glass Shard Beach. The winner is that girl, the one with the flower."

Oh my goodness, that's me! I got up and moved toward the stage and the hippie dude gave me bell bottoms and told me to wear them. I said no I liked my shorts, but then he sang this song that made me feel numb and do whatever someone else wanted me to do.

For that week I can barely remember what happened, all I know is that I had gone into a hippie van and had tried to recruit more people for hippies, after about a week Ford and Stan had tracked me down and somehow Ford had broken the hypnosis.
