Chapter 3

"I should go probably go home." i said "Lemme walk you."

"Ight my house ain't too far from here." I said trying to hide the light blush on my face with my hair. "you're pretty when you blush." he says with a light chuckle.

'that laugh!!!!!'

"Whatchu doing out her alone at night anyway? Freeridge is a dangerous place." he spoke in a low tone. "I've lived here all my life so I guess I'm used to it." I shrug "how bout you where you from."
"same I've lived here since i was born, i live with my mom and little sister. You got any family here?" he asked looking at me.

"Yeah i got two older brothers, and a little sister." i explain with a smile.

My mom was never really around, she was constantly coming in and out of our lives. She was always on drugs with made her temper really bad, she wasn't the best mom but for some reason I still love her.My dad is a rude unaffectionate drunk who doesn't care for his children, only himself. We met Mr.Gomez and his wife when they were trying to help my dad sober up, it didn't even last two weeks but they still are kind to us.It hurts to have shitty parents but I can always count on my brother's and sister to make my smile again.

"What about your parents?" he question "they're with us too." i lie. This is a stranger I know nothing about, I just meant him a couple minutes ago I'm not gonna tell him my whole life story.

"Oh this is my block." i break the silence, "you live on the Santos block?" he asks "yeah, why where to you live?"

He responds by lifting his forearm up revealing his 19th street tattoo. Damnit. Well at least the Santos and 19th street are at peace with each other.

"You're apart of 19th street?" i ask

'no shit dumbass why else would he have that tattooed on him!'

"Yeah why? You a Santo?" he raises his eyebrow, "nah. i just live here." another lie my brother's were Santos.

"Oh this is my stop." i state turning to him with a smile. "Aight well- wait i never got your name!" he stops me from walking.

'damn I'm dumb i never asked this cute mf his name! *mental facepalm*'

"Oh yeah my name's Sophia but they call me baby joker"
"nice name, they call me Sapo." "nice to meet you Sapo~"

"Nice to meet you to mama, see you later and with that he tucked something into my black hoodie pocket without me noticing.

"bye..." i said walking inside my house to be greeted with my second eldest brother and little sister glaring at me. My little menace of a sister had her hand on a nerf gun that was tucked into her jeans as if she was bouta pull out her strap.

"...What?" i ask setting my stuff down "who was that dude?" my brother Carlos or aka Paiyaso. "A friend." i answered bluntly "a fuck fwiend." my sister Esmarelda  or aka Dopey. "Girl watch yo mouth. And no he is just a friend."
   "Mhm sure lemme find out girl." Carlos mumbles walking aways.

"Anywavs can you do my hair pwease?"  Esmarelda asks with puppy eyes, "fine sit on the chair" i say grabbing the box with all of the hair products and accessories in it.

Our eldest brother Anthony (Loco)  is 21 and is apart of the Santos, he never went to college and joined when he was 13. Carlos (Paiyaso) is 17 about to turn 18 is still in highschool with me but he is a senior, he joined when he was 14. Esmarelda (Dopey) is 5 and in kindergarten. They both have taken care of me my whole life and when Esmarelda was born, we all took care of her. Sometimes if Anthony couldn't take her with him for the day either me or Carlos would have to take her to school with us.

---Flash Back---

I sat in the living room on my phone while Carlos watched tv before school, Anthony came walking in with baby Esmarelda in his arms. "Aye I'ma need one of y'all to take her to school with you i cant take her today." he says setting her down on the floor letting her roll around with a pacifier in her mouth. "I can't i got go to Spooky's after school." they both turn and look at me making me roll my eyes.

"Urggg fine i'll take her but if i get in trouble again, I'ma whoop your ass Carlos!" i say grabbing some of her stuff and putting some baby stuff in my backpack. "What there no 5th graders with babies at yo school?"

"No!"

---End of Flashback---

I do to little braids in her hair and send her off to bed. I lay down in my dark room and the image of Sapo's hot self pops in my mind.

' Damn i hope i see him again.'

All of the mistakes in Esmarelda's parts were on purpose.
