"Hermanita you know the rules and stop looking at him." "I know Oscar but why do we hate each other?" "Sis you already know the reason." I just sigh and look out the window. The reason the Rodriguez' and the Santos' hate each other was because when our parents went to school together. The Rodriguez family was the goody-goody side but ours...not so much. They would get into trouble a lot together until they did something really bad..they spray painted the school. The Rodriguez snitched on my parents and they got the cops involved and arrested my parents for a week. So that's the reason they hate each other..for betrayal.

We got to the school and I got out the car and said bye to my brother I walk in the school and go straight to my locker. When I close it a face pops out.. my best friend Julie. Julie is just like me. Mexican, kind of popular, and her family is also close with mine. "Hey Lena!!" "Hey Jules what's up?" "Nothing but did you see Benny today?" "Um no and you already know the reason." "Oh right...that sucks though, my mama and papa don't let me near him either." "Ya but-"
*RINGGGGGG*
"Ugh welp let's get to class que no?" "Ya alright cya at lunch?" "For sure alright bye." We say bye to each other and we head to class. Benny and I share every class and in almost every class we sit next to each other but the only time we talk to each other is when it's a group or partner assignment but other than that we don't talk at all. I walk in and there he is just sitting in the seat playing with his pencil looking out the window. I walk over to the seat and he just turns to look at me and smiles. Me not being rude I smile back and just sit down. The teacher then walks in and starts talking. "Alright class I know today is your last day of school and today we're just gonna watch a movie. So you can go ahead and sit with whoever you want but if it gets to noisy I'm turning off the movie and we're just gonna do work." Everyone starts moving around now and Benny and I are just sitting trying not to be awkward. Oh and did I tell you...the both of us don't have any of our friends in this class.

Then all I hear is "Hey..."

I get out the car and the car in front of us is Elena's. She doesn't turn around to see anyone and just walks straight to the school. I say bye to my sister Jimena and my siblings and I walk out. Before Daniela, Alex and I separate, we all say bye to each other in the hallway and walk our separate ways. I walk to my locker and the boys come up to me. My school is a school that goes from 8th-12th grade. Why you may ask?...I don't know why either. Tommy was the only one missing because he's a 7th grader. "So Benny Man you gonna make a move on Elena or what?" Ham asks. "I can't, remember?" "Oh right..." "WAIT SO I HAVE A CHANCE WITH HER?!?" Yeah-Yeah says. Squints just smacks him on the back of the head. "Hey it was worth a try..."
*RINGGGGGG
"Welp guys let's head to class shall we?" Bertram says while looking at everyone. Everyone just nods and says bye. I walk into class and there's only like 4 kids inside. I walk to my desk and fiddle around with my pencil while looking out the window. Then I hear some movement next to me I turn around and it's Elena. I just smile and she smiles back. Then the teacher walks in. ""Alright class I know today is your last day of school and today we're just gonna watch a movie. So you can go ahead and sit with whoever you want but if it gets to noisy I'm turning off the movie and we're just gonna do work." I sat there awkwardly because I don't have any of my friends in home-room. So I just turn to Elena and I just say... "Hey..."

"Oh hey.." and I just smile while sitting there very awkwardly. "So what a-are you gonna do this summer?" He asks. "Um nothing much just hanging out with my family, you?" "Probably the same but as usual just play baseball." "Oh that's cool I play baseball too but not as much. I play with my brother Miguel sometimes outside in the backyard." "Oh that's cool I play with my brother as well or just with the boys." "Oh, wait you guys play at that sandlot right?" "Ya we do...hey there's a game today the sandlot guys and the school's JV team...wanna come watch?" I just sit there silent thinking..what if my brother and sister see me there? What if they see me talking to Benny when I'm on the field? Then I just spill out, "Sure!"....what have I done.... "Ok cool! It's after school in the baseball field." "Oh ok...alright I'll see u then."
