A loud giggle followed by Nick bellowing for more beer sent shivers along Gemma's spineâand not the good kind.
“I think I'll decline,” Gemma said, laying the flyer back down on the kitchen counter and taking a swig of her soda. “I'd probably just end up with another Nick.”
“That's exactly why you should try it. This weeds out guys like him,” Maria said. “The best part is,
you
choose the guy and decide whether you want to ask him out. It's all about girl power, baby.”

“Hmmm.” Gemma nodded, and picked up the flyer again. “
I
do the choosing, instead of waiting for a guy to ask me out? And
they
weed out the bad seeds?”

Maria grinned, her dark eyes sparkling. “If I were single, I'd go for it myself. Shopping for boys. What could be better?”
“You've got a point,” Gemma said. The more she thought about it, the more she liked this idea. And if none of the guys on the website appealed to her, she could just drop the whole plan.

Gemma wondered. Fortified by caffeine, she and Maria wandered out of the kitchen with their sodas.

“Yo,” Nick called out to her over the loud music. Pretending she couldn't hear him, Gemma shoved the flyer into the back pocket of her low riders.
Someone please remind me what exactly it was I saw in that guy?

As if reading her mind, Maria slipped her arm through Gemma's. “This website is going to restore your faith in dating,

Gemma winced as she watched Nick drunkenly weave his way toward her. “I don't know if that's possible.” She sighed. “But I guess it's worth a shot. Now let's get out of here before Nick gets any closer. I can smell the beer from here!”
