On the last day of school I came home with Stefani, Karen, and of course Liset. We all agreed on girls night since all my girls will be out the country this summer, With Stefani and Liset heading to Mexico for the summer and Karen heading to London to hang out with her sister who lives in London. We were in disparate need of girls night.

As for me I usually go to Mexico every summer to visit my relatives in Mexico but I haven't been to Mexico since the summer before my freshmen year. Which sadly it sucks since it's where I come from. Well not literally, I'm really from Chicago but Mexico makes me part of me well me. If that makes sense...

My mom had my brother at seventeen. Right before her senior graduation. She told me and my brother the stories how hard she worked and how much she went through on those nights. She always tried her best to make sure that didn't happen to us. My mom even made sure we never forgot our Mexican culture. I know lately my mom hasn't been home so I'm sure once my mom is home she will only talk in Spanish to me and my brother. She made sure there was always music around the house. Even if it was from the 80s or bachata, Cumbia. Truth is me and my brother didn't care what it was. We just always loved how calm and happy my mom was.

Every summer my mom sent me and my brother to Mexico with my grandma. Me and my brother loved it. Since my birthday is in the summer my mom and grandpa came to Mexico for a week maybe even two and spend my birthday with me out in Mexico. Sadly I didn't go to Mexico last summer and probably won't happen this summer.

"Can you guys believe we'll be juniors?" Liset smiled.

"Just another two more years of high school." Stefani smiled.

"We have to make our last two years count." I told them. Karen nodded.

"Karen when do you leave for London?" I ask her.

"Tuesday."

I look at Liset and Stefani.

"Monday." They told me.

Liset and Stefani family live right across the street from each other. So there's no doubt there be hanging out over the summer.

"How long are you guys gone for?" I ask.

"We don't come until the week before school starts." Stef told me.

"Same." Karen said.

I pouted.

"Don't worry you have Lucas to keep you busy from missing us." Stef smirked.

I smiled. "Lucas is just a friend."

Stefani looked at me while Karen and Liset laughed.

"Yeah, okay boo." Liset said. "Keep telling yourself that."

"He is!" I told them.

Karen rolled her eyes. "Bet there be dating by the end of summer."

"How much?" Stef asked.

"forty."

"Oh you are so on." Stef said.

"I say not until after junior year." Liset smiled at me.

"Bet?" Karen asked.

"Betting." Liset smirked.

"You bitches betting on my love life." I gasped. They rolled there eyes.

I walk over to our pantry and grab the bag of hot Cheetos with Hawaiian juice and cups. I pour the chips in a big bowl and pour the juice in the cups.

"Yum! Chips!" Karen grabbed a handful and stuff the chips in her mouth.

I smiled.

"Come on girls, let's go watch movies in the basement."
