The New Year

On New Year's Eve at around 7:30 pm my cousins and i decided to drive 6 hours to the coast.
We pulled over to the side of the deserted road. It was 12:04. We were a bit late for the new year, but I hadn’t noticed. I had been sleeping in the back seat alone while my cousin Bolivar drove and Rodrigo served as the dj. His musical choices had soothed me, obviously not your new years electronica. but real formal like we hugged each body and kissed on the cheek. Boli, Rodrigo, and I from one car, Raúl, Sarita, and Gabi from the other. I could see fireworks bursting off in the distance, but couldn’t hear the bang. The land was flat all around us and dark. No street lights here. We hadn't gotten to the streets full of buring dolls yet. What a random place to bring in the new year!
But eventually we got to Raúl's house... well worth it!
