"ya know rube, when we were talking about the house on the way here you made it seem so intimidating." xiomara said walking behind the boy who began panicking again.

ruben ignored her talking to himself. "i swear to selena up above, if my shoes are dirty after this you're scrubbing them." xiomara grumbled looking at him.

"mara, i cant do this. i may not be strike worthy but that's a container of acid. no strike if there's no body." xiomara rolled her eyes and shoved the boy forward hearing the door open.

xiomara looked to the man who just came out. he was wearing a white-ish wife beater, khakis, socks that went up to his knees and slides. she found him very attractive, especially his teardrop tattoo just below his eye.

"sup fool." he sat on the stairs and pulled out a pack of cigarettes offering one to ruben, who declined. oscar got closer to ruben, "what's with the glitter."

ruben stammered, "late night at the club. you know how the hynas be." xiomara snorted trying not to laugh. oscar chuckled at ruben's obvious lie and then looked at xiomara.

"who you?" he looked her up and down and she smiled. "xiomara ramírez. you must be oscar." ruben looked at her bewildered at how she was so calm about this.

oscar nodded and turned to ruben, "whatchu came to chop it up about?" ruben cleared his throat and looked to xiomara for help.

"um, mr. oscar, i mean spooky. i know you're a busy man, so i'll cut right to it. is that acid? you know what, dont answer. none of my business. so cesar, i mean, can we just talk about how smart he is?" xiomara realized ruben was going to start rambling so she sat on the stairs.

oscar chuckled and moved his leg closer to her. she only semi-listened to rubens rant, most of it being random things that weren't completely related.

"who knows how high that bird can fly given the right wind and lack of aviation predators." at this moment, xiomara was more confused than she's ever been.

"why the fuck are we talking about birds?" oscar nudged her side and she made a noise of disagreement. "i never thought of it like that." oscar fed into whatever ruben was talking about.

"cause he's not one to toot his own horn. yet another one of his many attributes." oscar nodded, "you're right. he just needs to be given that right opportunity, with good wind and no vultures and shit."

ruben kicked a few pebbles on the ground, "well, vultures are more like scavengers. i was thinking hawks." xiomara didn't have time to prepare herself as oscar yelled at the idea of hawks.

finally, the conversation came to a close and xiomara stood up. she was walking passed oscar when he grabbed her hand. ruben's eyes widened but she motioned for him to go wait for her at the edge of the sidewalk.

"where you going?" oscar asked her in a low voice. "to be an adult and face the responsibility of school. why?" xiomara ran her free hand through her hair.

"you hanging with my brother?" oscar asked again and she shrugged. "most likely." he nodded and let her go.

she walked up to ruben and they walked to school, "what'd he want?"

"he just asked a few questions, now let's hurry and tell the gang."

ruben walked up to the crew—minus cesar—xiomara following closely behind him. monse turned and looked at his face, "what?" ruben kept smiling. "i did it. i did it! i mean, it's done. i rocked that talk hard, and for a guy named spooky he's surprisingly jovial."

monse smiled, "wait, are you serious, ruby?" ruben corrected her on his name but nodded, "cesars out the gang. boom! killed it."

then cesar walked up, "yeah you killed it so hard that i got promoted and xiomara got claimed."
