"Tell me something Nairobi Cortes, do you love Luis Mendoza?"
"Mendoza" I repeated, giving some thought and responding "Even the name gives me butterflies"

"Woah woah woah, so you're here to tell me, that Luis came to YOUR place on a Sunday night, and slept there?" Julie gasping as I explained the whole story about last night.
I quickly shushed her, not wanting to have more people stare at us as is. She quickly calmed down as I started focusing on my class work. Julie and Connie were the only girls that I can talk to about- well about boys, but since the situation happened with Luis and Connie, Julie is my only option to talk to about this.
"It wasn't that big of a deal, but I would say it was a bit strange for him to just sneak in my house"
Julie's smile then turns to a frown as she sadly whispers "What about Connie?"
"I haven't seen her, I don't wanna pick sides between the two of them" I sighed "So I'm trying my best to be there for them you know?"
Julie nods as she continues her class work. We sit in silence, hearing nothing but other students chattering and giggling. That was until she finally blurted out what she wanted to say.
"I think he likes you Nai" Julie quietly said
"Pff come on Julie!" I laugh nervously as I glanced over her, shaking my head in disapproval "He wouldn't- we're friends. We have been nothing but friends since we were born"
"So you're here to tell me right now, that Luis Mendoza does not have a crush on you?" She inquired as she raised an eyebrow
I stared at my work as I wonder off in my mind "Y-Yeah, I'm sure"
"Let's change the conversation because this is too much" She requested "So about Cooper eh? Did it go as you planned?"
"Well.... sorta..."

"I'm not gonna sit in the same room with her!"
"Oh come on! I said I was sorry like- twenty times! Twenty one of you count this one!" I groaned
"At least let us have a meal together, then we can leave" Travis suggested
Cooper huffed "Fine, but I'm sitting next to you"
"And I would gladly sit next to my mother" I spat
"Whatever bitch!"
"Cooper!" Travis muttered
"Says the one that got fucked up, pinche cabrón! (fucking bastard)"
"Nairobi!" Mom pulled my hair "Sorry Travis"
"No no! It's my fault Melanie!"

"I-It was... fine" I hesitated "At least I was able to get along with his dad. Maybe I shouldn't have been a- I don't know- asshole?" I spoke up
