"I saw that girl in a mirror once,
With a boy like that in a cloud of dust,
I think they look like a lot like us,
Cause we are, we are, we are,

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
We are a little unusual,
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
We are American Beautiful"

-American Beautiful, Then Henningsens 



"So, what are you doing in this town anyways?" Asked Mr.Im-to-handsome-for-a-shirt

"Well..." I hate telling this story it makes me mad every time I think of it. "My mother had plans to go to Europe and she wouldn't let me stay home so she shooed me off to my cousins house and that's why I'm here. I don't know why you're here helping me though." I watch as Stoney takes my bags out of the back of his pick up truck and walks me up to the house. I don't know this house I don't even remember my cousin. Great.
