the barbusca's front door unlocked, burst open and miguel ran inside. he was greeted by bianca, who had been scrubbing the kitchen.
"who gave miguel a key?" bianca yelled out.
"you did!" gioia reminded her from her room.
"right." bianca nodded as she shook off the water from her yellow, latex gloves, "caio, miguel."
"evening, miss- bianca." miguel greeted his friend's mother, "is gb ready yet?"
"no, she is still getting ready." bianca told him, "she might be a while."
miguel nodded and checked his watch, "i can wait."
her bedroom door slammed shut, "no need." gioia told him. she had changed into a checkered, yellow summer dress that was decorated with big sunflowers.
bianca gasped, "figlia! you look gorgeous!"
gioia gave the two a spin, a bright smile on her face, "thank you."
"yeah." miguel nodded his head in agreement, "you look really great."
"grazie, miguel."
"and where are you going looking so good?" her mother questioned.
"out, with a friend." gioia told her vaguely, "i'll be back in one or two hours."
bianca nodded and pecked her forehead, "be safe." she moved over to miguel and did the same, "you too, miggy."
the boy's face heated up with embarrassment at his nickname while gioia laughed, "thank you, bianca."
"addio, mamma!" gioia waved to her mother as she pulled miguel out the door.
the two made their way to johnny's house, which wasn't more than a few steps away. miguel knocked on the door and they waited for johnny to let them in.
"hey, sensei!" miguel called out, letting him know who was there.
johnny's voice yelled, "come in!"
"you really shouldn't leave your front door unlocked." gioia advised as she lagged behind miguel.
johnny scoffed, "the worse thing that could happen is you and miguel breaking in while i'm sleeping."
"why on earth would we do that?" miguel asked.
"i don't know." johnny shrugged, "you're both unusual."
"thanks, sensei."
miguel rolled his eyes, "you nervous for your meeting?"
"i'm not nervous, i'm pissed off." johnny admitted while adjusting his tie.
"okay, but you have to be nice to these people." miguel reminded him, "so if you get pissed off, what are you going to do?"
