Weeks have passed. I don't get a chance to talk to Rogelio. I think... He's avoiding me? I don't know. I don't like it tough. I feel more lonely than ever.

I've spotted him! Yes, here I go. Oh man his going to get it. He looked at me. He then had the saddest face I've ever seen. I hesitated for a moment. I couldn't move. Why was he giving me this face! Ugh! I don't like it, stop!

He started walking towards me. I froze I didn't like his expression. I looked into his brown eyes and saw buckets of tears. Has he been crying?! "Hey.... Minica," he said with such sadness in his voice. " Hey Rogelio. What's wrong?" He quickly became very still. "N- nothing... I just don't feel like going to school today or my house," is something wrong? But before I ask him what's wrong, "why haven't you been talking to me these past few weeks?" I had to get it out of my system. I'm furious with him. He looked surprised, "umm.... I- I- I- I just couldn't find you, I was busy." He forced a smile to try to convince me. "Nice try, Rog, but c'mon you know you can't lie to me, right?" I smirked at him. He looked down and sighed, "I- I... Want to tell you, but... I can't." His voice was full of sadness. I put a finger under his chin and raised his head up. I was looking at him with concern. "Tell me, it's ok." He looked past my shoulder and then stood up straight all of the sudden. He started blinking rapidly. I turned around but, he quickly grabbed my face close to his and he said, "come! Please come with me. Just skip school today." He sounded so desperate. I stayed silent, I've  never seen how gorgeous he looks, really. He had beautiful, strong eyes. His face was nicely tanned. His hair had brown curls that he would push back. I blinked. Suddenly coming back to life. "Ok." I said calmly and we went into the forest.
