- Whoever said first is the worst, second is the best. Well..... let's just say that my life speaks otherwise.
Katarina Giovanni is known as the girl who's always the second choice, second best, second desire, second everything; heck you name it.

"Wh-what happened to your head?"
Before he could answer, Tegan creeped up behind me being nosy, "Who's this?" she said stuffing popcorn in her mouth.
"Oh, are you the plumber guy? You know we called like 5 days ago.... it's about time. Because I'm tired of Kat using my-"
"- Tegan!" I glared at her, my cheeks flushing. "Does he look like a plumber to you?!"
"Well.... I don't really know what they look like Kat."
...
You know... after everything Tegan and I have been through, you'd think she would know now not to embarrass me in front of a hot guy. Considering I do it just fine on my own.
"Well I'm Tegan, Kat's bestfriend." She said holding her greasy hand out to shake his after realizing he wasn't actually the plumber man that we had called a few days ago.
Reluctantly, he shook it and introduced himself. "It's always been my dream to get someone else's popcorn grease on my hand thanks for the opportunity."
"I'm sorry about that."
He chuckled and pulled a handkerchief from his pocket, "Its fine."
"So.... what happened to your head?" Rip me.
"Oh this?" He said pointing to it, "My niece and her toys. Little kids these days are so aggressive."
Oh.. We sat down on the front step of my porch after I had begged Tegan to stay inside and let us talk alone. "So why did you decide to stop by?"
"I just wanted to ask why you closed the door in my face yesterday.... you seemed, I don't know? Scared?"
"Did you really come all the way over here to ask that?" ....
He looked away from me and smiled. His eyes glancing over at the little kids who were playing in the street.
"No." .. "I didn't come to just ask that. I came to ask you out on a date Katarina." He brought his attention back to me and I swear I couldn't breathe . I had to look away. "I came to ask you on a date, but I didn't want to just up and say it. Guess that plan didn't really work out though."
I could still feel his eyes on me. Slowly I turned and looked into them.
"I want to get to know you Katarina. Please allow me the chance."
"Hmmmm..." I said trying to make it seem as if I wasn't dying to say yes.
"Under one condition though....you have to just call me Kat."
---------------------------------------------
I waved goodbye and watched him leave in his truck. It was actually pretty nice, a Chevrolet Colorado I think, not sure what year.
"Yoo-hoo??? Anyone home?" I walked inside and closed the front door behind me.
"KATTTTT!!!!!!" Tegan tackled me out of nowhere. "WHAT HAPPENED, OH MY GOSH WHAT HAPPENED?!"
She started tickling me, "Nooooo!!!! Te-Teg St-stoppp. This is tortureeee." My giggles filled the room.
"What he say! What he say!"
"Ahhhh if you st-stop I'll tell you."
She let me go and sat there on top of me smiling like an evil little kid.
I laid there panting trying to catch my breath, being ticklish could be such a disadvantage sometimes.
"Get off."
"Not until you tell."
"Date. Friday. 6pm...... Get off."
She jumped off of me and started running around the house singing God knows what.
My mind zoned out and I closed my eyes thinking about Nicholas. The way his hair fell in his eyes...the way he stared at me and looked away when he felt nervous. --the way he smiled at me--
"Hi, Mrs. Giovanni, guess what!" I heard Tegan on the phone. She sounded way too excited. I wonder what she was telling my mothe-
... I've never got up and ran so fast in my life.
I grabbed the phone out of her hand as fast as I could, and slammed it on the hook.
"Tegan. Do not tell my mom about the date with Nicholas."
She stood there with her jaw hanging looking at the phone, "Kat....our mom is going to think that I hung up on her."
"Oh, forget that." I said rolling my eyes, "I'll tell her it was me. Just promise me you won't tell her about Nicholas."
She smirked and walked away singing again. "I promiseee."
Evil.
She is evil.
The house phone started to ring. Too bad there wasn't a decline button on it, because I would murder it.
Sighing, I picked it up. "...Hello?"
"Mrs. G? It's me... Maya.."
