I was on my way to the bodega

I was on my way to the bodega. It's afternoon and weekend and I have no idea what to do. I'll just get some tortillas and watch movies until I fall asleep. After the conversation with my mom on Friday evening, I don't feel like going anywhere anyway. Fucking Noah. He told my mom that he saw me and Oscar kissing. My mom gave me a talk yesterday about gangs and their business. Uhhh.

I notice that I am walking past the Santos house. A couple of Santos whistled after me until they recognized me. Oscar hit a Santo on the back of the head. He came up to me across the street and called my name. I kept walking. "Heyyy Y/n! I'm talking to you!" he shouted. I stopped and turned to face him. "Hmm?" I said and looked at him. "What's wrong?" asked Oscar. "A lot of stuff is going on in my head right now, sorry." I spoke. Oscar came closer to me and hugged me.

Why did I never realize that? Oscar is in a dangerous gang and that meant that I'm just as involved in all this illegal stuff. What was I thinking? "I wanted to go to the bodega." I said and backed away. "Alone? No, I'll go with you." Oscar made a hand sign to Sad eyes who nodded. Oscar put his hand on my shoulder and we kept walking.

After a while we came to the bodega and walk inside. I picked out a couple of bags of candy and threw what felt like tons into the shopping cart. Oscar looked at me questioningly and I just mumbled, "My mom knows that about us, so whatever is going on between us." Again, Oscar looked at me questioningly while I pushed the shopping cart on. "Whatever is going on between us? Huh?" he asked with a laugh. "Yeahh I don't know... what are we?" I stopped and looked at him.

"You're my girlfriend." he said confused and looked me in the eye. Oh god I'm stupid. "Really? Since when?" I asked in surprise. Oscar looked at me like I was crazy, "Well, since we kissed on the beach." I looked at him in disbelief, "What? I didn't get this message. You have to tell me something like that." I laughed and so did he. Fuck when should you know something like that?

Oscar shook his head in confusion and still laughing, "You're so weird in such a cute way, princesa." I blushed slightly and went to the checkout with Oscar following me. The cashier looked at me briefly and blushed, "Hello." he said and I answer the same with a slight smile. I took out my wallet and the cashier told me the price, "It would be $25.34, please." I handed him the money and he gave me the change back.

I grabbed the bag to leave and then the cashier continued, "Uhhm, can I have your number?" I looked briefly at Oscar, who had been giving the cashier a death look the whole time. I just opened my mouth to politely reject him, when Oscar interrupted me, "No, she has a novio." Oscar looked threateningly at the poor cashier.

"Have a nice day." I said to the cashier and pulled Oscar out of the bodega before he eats the cashier. "The cashier almost passed out." I said to Oscar with a laugh. "He deserves it. If he asks you that again, you tell me about it and I'll pay this puto a visit." said Oscar with a shrug.

I smiled and walked home with him. It's slowly getting dark, I thought to myself as two Prophets approached us. "Ey Spooky, there is a pretty girl next to you. Do you mind if we borrow her for a moment?" one Prophet laughed. Oscar pushed me behind him. "Get out of here! This is not your territory." he said.
