head of yours. At least, not from what I saw your eyes doing through the rearview mirror.”
    “When I get home I am going to get you…,” I screamed into the cell. He hung up. I drove into the parking lot of the open-air Greek style amphitheater. The stone staircase sloped down toward the stage. Located in the valley of the mountain, the view was serene, heavenly. Zen and peace captured into this magnificent facility.

    It was one thirty and Kasey had not come out to the school’s parking lot. I was about to go in search of her when she exited with a friend.
    “Dion, I’m sorry I hope you haven’t been waiting long,” Kasey said with a smile. She was clearly over her hollow mood from earlier.
    “To wait is simply life in slow motion.”
    I went to ‘greet’ her the Spanish way. This time she expected it and returned the greeting onto both my cheeks.
    “This is Madhu, she’s staying in Vallendosa.”
    Madhu was clearly not Spanish, based on her dark brown skin and her name. I placed her origins somewhere in India.
    “ Mucho gusto ,” I greeted her. “How long have you been here?”
    “I have been here since the start of summer from Bangladesh,” she said in a British accent. She was quite attractive, but very flamboyant in her orange and green attire and tight skirt. I liked and appreciated Kasey’s subtle simplicity.
    “So, are you sweet?” I asked Madhu with a grin. She smiled and Kasey looked at me as if I were insane.
    “Oh, absolutely,” Madhu said with a huge smirk. “Kasey, my name means honey. Apparently Dion knows this.”
    “I am fluent in various languages.” I chimed in to help poor Kasey understand.
    “That should come in handy some times,” she said, rather impressed. Or so I hoped she was impressed.
    “Kasey, I have to get going. I shall give you a call tomorrow and we can coordinate your sightseeing tour, Madhu style.”
    “Ok, I’m looking forward to it. Gracias , adios ,” Kasey gave Madhu a hug.
    “Dion, un gusto ,” Madhu nodded toward me.
    “Also a pleasure for me as well,” I replied. She walked back into the building. I looked at Kasey, relieved to be in her company again. As I predicted, her hair had completely fallen loose. She was wearing it down and wild.
    “Did you have a good day?” I opened the car door for her.
    “I did! It is going to be hard to pick up the language as well as they expect. These two semesters are going to be great.” 
    ‘Great’, I thought. I hoped this year, for her at least, would be life altering, and more than just ‘great.’  I got in and started the car. As we drove the winding roads again, I glanced over at her. I was having a hard time keeping my eyes off her. I could feel myself analyzing her every detail. Then to make matters worse, she turned her head and caught me staring. She gave me a slight grin. I didn’t look away. I returned the grin and continued to gaze between her and the road.
    “Thank you for the ride today.” She interrupted my thoughts.
    “You are very welcome. It has been enjoyable. If you would like, I can drive you around anytime you need,” I extended the offer knowing she would accept it later.
    “Thank you. I’ve got your number if I need it…”
    “You will.” I broke in with a smile.
    She huffed and turned to look out the window.
    “So,” she said. “How was the movie?”
    “Movie?” I asked.
    She looked at me perplexed. “Didn’t you say that you were going to the theater?”
    I gave a laugh, “No I did not go to that type of theater.” I clearly confused her further.
    “I don’t understand,” she said.
    “I went to the stage theater.”
    “Oh,” she realized. “Did you go see a play?”
    “No, I went to practice for one.”
    “Practice? So you are in a play?” She inquired.
    “Yes. I am an actor at the local theater.”
    “Really!” Apparently, this was a good thing. I should definitely elaborate.
    “Yes, we are putting on the play of Hercules in three
