"What a weird day last night..." Matt mumbled, and bumped into a familiar girl.
"Hey, aren't you the boy from the airport yesterday?" she asked.
"Huh?" Matt replied absentmindedly, "Oh, yeah. By the way, what's your name?"
"My name's Jackie." the girl replied, "I came here from Africa for a visit. And... you?"
"I'm Matt, I came from Scotland." Matt replied, "For a vacation. Unfourtunatly, my annoying little sister had to come along."
"You'll live through it." Jackie reassured, patting Matt's back, "Say, you know the girl you were talking to yesterday?"
"Who, my next door neighbour?" Matt asked.
"If it's the girl from the airport that greeted you, then yeah." Jackie replied, "Y'know her name?"
"Unfourtunatly, no." Matt replied, "Everytime I try to ask her, she runs off! I never get the chance."
I turn around, you're there again
And suddenly you're gone
I wanna get to know you
But I don't know who you are
You're the kinda girl
Who'll make me start to lose my mind
I wanna get together
But you're oh, so hard to find
The two searched for the mysterious girl all over Mexico City. Finally, they stopped at a local coffee shop.
"Oh, it's hope-hey!" Matt cried, as a familiar girl walked out the exit. It was the girl!
"There she is!" Jackie cried, as Inez went on her bike outside and rode through the city, "And there she goes."
"Oh, if only she stayed in one spot..." Matt grumbled, and ran back out.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Jackie cried.
They walked down the sidewalks and stopped when they saw the girl's bike parked in the bike rack.
"She's at the video store?" Jackie wondered out loud.
"C'mon!" Matt exclaimed, and ran inside, only to pass the girl, who just stepped outside.
"Gah!" Matt stepped out of the way. During the time he was regaining his balance, Inez unlocked her bike, and rode off... again.
"Where is she?" Matt asked.
"She's gone." Jackie said, running back after trying to see the girl at a distance.
I see you when I'm at the Starbucks
As you're walkin' out the door
I see you when I'm renting movies
When you're leaving the store
I need an oppurtunity
There's something I want to ask
I never seem to ever get the chance
"C'mon." Matt growled, and then remembered he left his bike locked at the cafe. Hope!
Matt rushed to the cafe and unlocked his bike. Jackie did the same to her's. The got on theirs, and rode the same direction the girl did.
What's your name
What's your name
Oh, I really wanna know
You've got me goin' crazy
And I want you more and more
Oh hey, this could be something real
I've gotta let you know the way I feel
What's your name
What's your name
Oh, I really wanna know
Cause every time I get there
That it's right before you go
Oh hey, if only you could see
I wanna get to know you
And to get you knowing me
The two stopped when they saw the girl's bike locked on a bike rack infront of the mall.
"You go ahead, I'll wait here." Jackie said.
With that, Matt locked his bike, and ran inside the mall.
He stopped at the top of the stairs, and saw the girl with her friends at the bottom of the stairs.
"Okay, don't hesitate." Matt told himself, "Just ask the girl what her name is, and ask if she wants to hang out today."
Just as Matt was about to go downstairs, the girl and her friends left. Great, now where was she?
Whoa
I see you at the mall
You're hangin' out with all your friends
I'm ready, gonna make my move
You go before I get the chance
You know you got me trippin'
Thinkin' 'bout you day and night
But I can't get to know you
If you don't know I'm alive
Matt ran out of the mall and saw Jackie irritated at the bike racks.
"Well?" Matt asked.
"She said she was too busy and rode off towards the beach!" Jackie exclaimed, "I'm sure we'll be able to talk to her during that time! I mean, nobody stays at the beach for only five minutes."
"True." Matt said, unlocking his bike, "Let's go."
They arrived at the beach in five minutes flat. Only to see the girl putting something in her bike basket, and then take off before Matt gets a chance to talk to her! She headed for the stadium in a mad dash.
Matt and Jackie followed. Of course, the girl had a huge headstart in front of them.
Jackie read a poster on the wall of the stadium. "It's a concert. And it ends at... WHAT? Now?"
I see you when you're at the beach
You know, you're loading up the car
I see you when I'm at the concert
Then the lights go dark
There's something I've gotta find out
If I ever get the chance
There's only three words I wanna ask
"Huh?" Matt wondered out loud. Then, he saw the girl come out of the stadium, get on her bike, and ride off.
"No, no! Wait up! Hey!" Matt called.
What's your name
What's your name
Oh, I really wanna know
You got me going crazy
And I want you more and more
Oh hey, this could be something real
I've gotta let you know the way I feel
What's your name
What's your name
Oh, I really wanna know
Cause everytime I get there
But it's right before you go
Oh hey, if only you could see
I wanna get to know you
And to get you knowing me
Matt was about to park his bike when the girl stepped out of the bakery, and put bread in her basket, when he realized that it was too late.
"Wait, no!" Matt groaned, "Ugh! Too late!"
Oh, oh yeah, no, no, no, no
Oh, now wait up
Oh no, don't go away now
Too late, I missed your name girl
Oh no, don't go please
Cause I'm the one you need
Yeah
Oh no, don't go
I've got to tell you
How bad I want ya
All I need is a chance
So give me an opportunity to ask
Just when Jackie caught up, Matt chased after the girl again.
"Matt!" Jackie called, and picked up speed.
What's your name
What's your name
Oh, I really wanna know
You've got me going crazy
And I want you more and more
Oh hey, this could be something real
I gotta let you know the way I feel
What's your name
What's your name
Oh, I really wanna know
Cause everytime I get there
But it's right before you go
Oh hey, if only you could see
I wanna get to know you
And to get you knowing me
What's your name
What's your name
Oh, I really wanna know
You've got me going crazy
And I want you more and more
Oh hey, this could be something real
I gotta let you know the way I feel
What's your name
What's your name
Oh, I really wanna know
Cause everytime I get there
But it's right before you go
Oh hey, if only you could see
I wanna get to know you
And to get you knowing me
What's your name
What's your name, girl
Oooh, oooh yeah
Woo, that's it
Ladies goodnight
By the time he caught up with the girl, it was evening, and he was back at his rented home. Just as the girl was getting off the bike, Jackie caught up and Matt cried, "Hey! Wait!"
The girl noticed. "Oh, hello! You're parents are in my house, we invited them over for dinner. Would you like to come in?"
"Yeah, but first." Matt said, "What's your name? I never got a chance to ask 'cause you kept on disappearing."
"Oh, so it was you who kept on chasing me." the girl laughed, "Well, I'll answer your question. My name is Inez. What's your's?"
"Matt Williams." Matt replied, "Nice to meet you. Oh, and this is Jackie..."
"Edwards." Jackie replied, "Jackie Edwards."
"Inezalin Garcia." Inez replied, "Come on in. I do believe your parents are here, too."
"Please don't tell me Emily's in there." Matt groaned.
"No no, just adults and us three." Inez explained, "Emily is at her aunt's house. A close friend and a normal client of my mother's. She is a doctor."
"Wow." Matt was amazed.
"Please, come in." Inez welcomed, grabbing a bag of things from her bike's basket and entering the house after Matt and Jackie.
"Matt, where have you been?" Matt's mother asked.
"I was looking for Inez all day." Matt replied.
"Same with you, Jaclyn?" Jackie's mother asked.
"Yes, mother." Jackie replied, "I met Matt earlier today, and he dragged me along in his wild goose chase."
"We are all here together, and that is what matters." Inez's mother said, "Inezalin, did you get the things we need for the fiesta?"
"Right here, mama." Inez replied, and handed the bag to her mother, whom accepted the bag and rushed back into the kitchen.
"You three have a lot of catching up to do..." Jackie's mother smiled, as Matt's mother started to giggle.
"Huh?" the three exclaimed.
