Chapter 3.

"I swear, if I run into that jerk once more at Jam," Mía groaned. It had been a few days since her unpleasant encounter with the unkown jerk at Jam & Roller. "Who does he think he is?!"

Jayda laughed, "amica, you've been talking about this all week. Let it go. It's time for the weekend!"

Mía sighed, "you're right!" The two girls linked arms. "You have to come to Jam tonight! Cara is going to teach me a routine, one that I can use when I try out for the Roller Team!"

"I will see if I can make it, mum and dad are going out tonight. So I'm watching Jaime."

"So, will I be seeing you at Jam tonight?"

Martina looked at Tobias, who was leaning against the lockers. The blonde girl shrugged. "Might stay home with my dad tonight. Besides, we have to work on Rafael's writing assignment."

Tobias looked at his friend with an eyebrow raised, "what better place to work on a song than at Jam?"

Martina smiled, "Mum's Garage." She shut her locker.

"You've been in there again?" Martina nodded as the pair left for the exit. "That's so great, Tini!" The two teenagers groaned when an arm was wrapped around their shoulder.

"Friends."

Tobias shrugged Cruz Silva's arm off, "Cruz."

"I hope to see you at Jam tonight, me and the lady will be performing." Martina and Tobias both rolled their eyes. They have known Cruz all their lives. He used to be such a nice guy, but ever since he started dating Marta Moliner last year he's changed into the stereotypical popular boy. "See you there!" The pair watched Cruz jog off.

"What a jerk," Tobias mumbled. "I can't believe Jairo and I used to hang out with him."

Martina frowned, "yeah, the three of you were insperable." She mumbled. Martina looked around her bag. "Hey, I'll see you later. I forgot my phone in my locker." She put her hand on his shoulder.

"I'll wai-,"

Martina shook her head, "no, you don't have to! I know you want to go to Jam and to be honest I don't really feel like going." She explained. "Also," Martina nodded her head towards the road, "I think Jairo is waiting for you."

They looked at Jairo, who was waiting on a bench outside of the Studio. Still in his Blake uniform.

"Right. Enjoy your night in," Tobias gave her a kiss on the cheek. He ran off towards Jairo.

Martina watched the two best friends hug each other. She often missed having a best friend; sure her sister is her best friend. And Tobias is also a great friend. But something was still missing. She smiled at some students passing by as she made her way to her locker.

The halls of the Studio were almost empty.

Martina took her phone from her locker, she put it in her bag. She looked up when she heard a piano being played. The song put a smile on her face; it was her father's. She hadn't heard the song in a while, but still knew it by heart.

"Si hay amor y nada más no es necesario. Nada, nada más. Si hay amor olvídate del calendario. No hay nada, nada maś," Martina quietly sang along to the words as she wandered to where the music came from.

She stood in the door opening of the Zoom as she listened to the boy that was singing and playing the song. She leaned against the doorway. "Donde voy, allí vas." Martina bit her lip when he missed a note. She contemplated whether she would leave or go over.
