CARLA
i struggled with an umbrella. so dumb, so embarrassing.
it was pouring and i was getting soaked as i struggled.
"need some help?" a girl's voice said, making me look up.
"yeah. i have, uh, zombie fingers."
the girl opened the umbrella for me and i lifted it over my head.
"thank you." i told her as she walked off, but i quickly went up to her and put the umbrella over her head too. "here."
"oh, it's okay. i don't mind the rain."
"i insist." i paused. "i'm.. c-car-carla."
"petrina."
"your-you're very pretty."
"thank you, carla."
"now you're supposed to say i'm pretty too."
