•Y/N's perspective:•

I slipped on my cheap sandals and rushed outside to meet Isabel and Ivan. They were my best friends, and I often met with them in the city of Havana. I need to get away from my family for now. We were leaving Cuba with someone, I didn't know who. But I didn't care. I didn't want to leave my home!! Anyways, Isabel is usually pretty happy, but when I arrived at her house, she was different. Isabel seemed worried. Earlier there was a riot, and her father was beat pretty badly. Also, did I mention I had a crush on Isabel? She had short hair that was a deep brown colour, she played trumpet like a pro, and she was just overall great person. But she has a crush on iVaN (🙄). I think. I like Ivan and all, but what does she see in that baseball obsessed dork? Anyways, Isabel told us that she was leaving Havana with Ivan. I immediately felt jealous. Why did Isabel get to go to El Norte with Ivan when I had to go with some people I barely even know? I mean, I might know them. My parents didn't exactly tell me who they were because I walked out on them. But I digress.
Me and Ivan comforted Isabel because she clearly didn't want to leave me. We ended up spending the rest of the day hanging out and playing and laughing along the Havana streets. When it was time for Isabel to go back home, I gave her and Ivan a long group hug. The tears in Isabel's eyes were obvious, and even me and Ivan were starting to tear up. We said goodbye, and we all went home.

When I arrived home, I was met with a surprise: We were leaving for El Norte tonight, and we were going with Isabel and Ivan! I burst into tears of joy and hugged my parents. I apologized for my rude behavior that morning and helped them pack up some essentials: water, canned goods, bandages, etc. We headed towards the beach to help Isabel and Ivan's family carry the boat. Mami helped Mrs. Fernandez, who was 9 months pregnant, get to the water. It was chaos, people were scrambling to get their make their escape. We finally made it to the water, and we immediately pushed off. Suddenly, the police were running towards us! We all scrambled to get in the boat, and we started the engine. It didn't work! We kept pulling and pulling as gunshots sprayed all around us. I looked around, and I saw Isabel was scrambling towards us. She was left in the water!!
"ISABEL, GRAB MY HAND!" I shouted.
"IM TRYING, IM TRYING!"
I grasped onto Isabel's hand and I pulled her up. The engine finally worked and we shot off into the open sea as two cops hopped in the boat. I realized it was Ivan's older brother and his girlfriend! We are safe, and now we had at least a week until we got to Florida. We were all dancing and having a good time as I drifted off to sleep, excited for my new future.

I woke up from my short nap and saw Isabel kissing Ivan in the back of the boat! ON THE LIPS TOO!! No one else noticed because they were all concerned about the engine that wouldn't start. I could have broken into tears at that very moment. Isabel liked Ivan, not me! I couldn't believe it....I sniffed and wiped my tears with the back of my hand. I turned and went over to help with the engine. I hoped I could get my mind off of the secret betrayal Isabel had caused me.
