By the time we get to his car I am soaked. My hair starts to curl and become short like it always does when it gets wet.

"What happened to your hair?" he says as he gets into the car. I give him the hairy eyeball. "Sorry, that came out wrong"

"Yeah" I say annoyed

"Why is it so curly?"

"Probably not because of the rain" I say sarcastically "Why do you want to know so much?"

"I'm curious" he then grabs his keys out of his front pocket and puts it in the ignition. After he turns the key the radio turns on. It's so loud that I can't even recognize the song. I cover my ears and he turns down the radio. I then realize that the song being played is "Eyes without a face" by Billy Idol.

"You listen to Billy Idol" I say trying to hold back my laughter

"Yeah" he says shyly

"Why?"

"Why not?" He says defensively. I listen to 80s music also but Billy Idol, really. "Why do you want to know so badly?" He says

"I'm curious" the tension that was once there is gone.

"Who's your favorite artist from the 80s?"

"It's between ABBA or Queen"

"Queen?" He sounds surprised "You listen to Queen?"

"Yeah. Why is that so surprising?"

"I didn't think anyone else listened to them"

As soon as he said this "Somebody to Love" by Queen plays on the radio.

We look at each other and smile.
