Go Go Go Kart (Paul)

[Sunar Chugani]

School at Hammel didn't have the long summer breaks seen at more typical schools, much to Sunar's distress. He missed having months of time to visit family in Gujarat before returning to the States for fall semester. 

However, remaining in Vermont over the summer did ensure that he could enjoy his time with friends. Over the course of his stay at Hammel he had discovered every fun spot he could, and this year he even had a boyfriend to share this with. This was different from just any old friend, although he couldn't exactly explain what that difference was. 

Still, he was sure that it was different! 

And so one Monday, during one of the few precious days off during the summer months, Sunar and Paul had made their way towards the mall. There was an indoor entertainment complex near the mall, complete with laser tag and go karts. 

"Oh!" Sunar exclaimed as he looked over the rental options. "They have a two seater! We could ride one together!"

Summer vacation was a little different. Nothing major happened or planned. Paul still hung out with his friends. It was like any other summer with expect this summer Paul had a boyfriend. He was looking forward to spending time with Sunar. It was different when Paul and Sunar made plans vs. Paul and his friends.

Paul had been to the go-karts before, but he always rode by himself. Taking a two-seater never really crossed his mind. Until now. Now Paul had someone ride with. "Sure. Rock, paper, scissors for who gets to drive?" Paul knew he wanted to drive. He had a feeling that Sunar most likely wanted to drive as well. Who wouldn't want to drive go-karts? Rock, paper, scissors was the easiest way to decide that. "Or we could race for the driver's seat."
