Punto de vista de Lea

"You aren't actually going to say that to him are you?" Rocio Reynardo asked, poking his sister at the side.

Rica Reynardo shot him a look, swatting hi hand away from her side "Stop trying to tell me that I shouldn't say that to him. You know how he actually feels about Lea here" she rolled her eyes at her brother, turning over to look at me.

I looked away, tapping the tip of my pen on the desk and humming to the song, Brother by Falling in Reverse. I was trying to think of something to write for my English essay that is due tomorrow morning. Rocio and Rica had appeared unannounced at the front door of my parents mansion, bringing their English essay - that consisted of a piece of white paper- together with them. They had claimed to come over so that they can think of something to write. But I know better than that. They just brought over their essays just so that I can write it for them.

"You know, having a crush on the school's jock isn't actually a bad thing" Rica continued on. She took a huge interest in my love life two months ago after I said that I have a crush on the school's jock.She took this as an invitation into my love life and had never stopped pestering me about it ever since "You guys can go out on dates and have dinner together. It'll be so romantic"

Rocio scoffed, rolling his eyes at his sister. "You wish. Lea doesn't need you in her love life. She doesn't even like the jock." Despite being a year younger than Rica, Rocio acts like he's a year older than Rica.

Rica shot another annoyed look at her brother, flipping him off "Shut up will you." She said, turning back around and staring at me. "What do you have to say about it,Lea? Do you really like the jock? Because I can be the match maker and pair the both of you up for the upcoming party"

I couldn't blame Rica no matter how much I want too. Parties are her thing. Not mine. I've never been to one before in my life and never planned to be. I ignored her. Still tapping away with my pen. I had no idea how to write an essay about the underworld. It sucks to take up law when I know nothing about it. I was forced into the law world by my father, who works as a lawyer and my mother, who works as a solicitor. "No thanks Rica. I'd rather stay here and try to think of something to write for my essay"

Rica didn't say anything. Instead, she took her phone up from my bed and begin scrolling through it. Rocio wrote something on a piece of paper and handed it over to me. Smiling a little while doing so.

I took the piece of paper from him and smiled at what he had wrote.

You can write about how dangerous criminals are to society

Initially, I didn't understand what he had wrote but since he's one of my closest friends, I have to act like I do. I went back to tapping away with my pen. Racking my brain to think of something logical to say. I've only recently started at the law school. Rocio is two years my senior and Rica is three years my senior. Rica is graduating at the end of this year with a Bachelor's degree in Law and Rocio is graduating next year with a Bachelor's degree in Engineering. He didn't actually have to write essays on criminology but then as he was trying to make his sister feel better, he started writing essays on criminology too. It was probably something to please his sister because of the bad past they both shared.

Rica said something about not having enough clothes to wear to the upcoming college party someone from the college is holding while scrolling through her phone. That's a lie. Rica has a warbdrobe filled with dresses from the past parties she had went to. "I don't know why but I think I should make my way over to the mall to get some clothes for the party tomorrow" She continued on ranting away at not having enough clothes and high heels for the party.
