A girl who's still in high school that had a traumatic experience, resulting on her 3 yr old daughter, meets a boy who is entirely curious about her. He ends up knowing her secret.
SELENA: A-ay doña rosa porfavor! {TRANSLATION- Doña rosa, please!}
I say covering my face from the embarrassment. She laughs as she got her answer
DOÑA ROSA: Ay mija, your so easy to tease, go on now! They are waiting for you.
SELENA: Shit your right, bye bye doña rosa!
*TIME SKIP COUPLE HOURS LATER*
{ON FACETIME W/ SANTIAGO}
SELENA: Santiago, you need an iPhone... what is this bootleg FaceTime app?
SANTIAGO: iPhones suck.
I laugh at his comment
SELENA: you excited for tomorrow?
SANTIAGO: The party? it's not like its my first one.
SELENA: I don't know what to wear. Im too buff for a dress, I look like a man.
SANTIAGO: You do not look like a man, don't say that.
SELENA: but look how muscle-ly I look
I say silly posing and flexing on the phone and we ended up laughing
SANTIAGO: there's nothing wrong with that, I think its attractive.
his comment startled me a bit, I could feel myself getting red. im guessing he noticed that since he changed the subject
SANTIAGO: I have to go. ji-hoon is hungry, see u tomorrow at school.
SELENA: omg say hi for me, he's so cute.
SANTIAGO: ahah alright bye-bye
we hang up and I was left thinking about what he said " I think its attractive"..... then I thought back to what Dona rosa said..do I..like him? I threw myself in the bed while I miserably groan at my despair. I turned my head to see Sophias drooling face. I chuckle as I reposition myself to sleep in a better pose. I tuck a piece of Sophias hair behind her ear. its not that I dont want him, its just...hard. after what i've been thru..why would he want to be with someone who one, has a kid, and two, someone who's life is still a fucking mess.
SELENA: (THINKING) don't get caught up in love again Selena...you don't deserve it... not after.. what happened...
Sophia scooted up to hug me. I hugged her back and fell asleep. ill figure this shit out as time goes
*NEXT DAY*
SELENA: do u wanna pick up some food before the party?
SANTIAGO: why not eat in the party?
SELENA: Well... you never know.
YU-MI: Santyyyy~
SANTIAGO: Don't call me that.
YU-MI: whatever, your still coming right?
SANTIAGO: yes we are going, we told u already.
YU-MI: No need to be cranky! just double checking, see u there!
SELENA: She seems to take a liking towards you, you should give her a chance.
he turned to see me as if I just said his worst story ever
SELENA: What?
