"Sergio Alexander." C.O Watkins walked into Sergio's cell bright and early, pronouncing his last name wrong
Watkins managed to wake Sergio and his cell mate who was doing 11 months for a gun charge
"Huh?" Sergio squinted at the flash that was in the C.O's hand, shining bright as ever
"Get up, charges dropped, hurry up so you can go wash your ass and make it to school on time." Watkins encouraged, it was 5am
Sergio huffed in irritation, then got up
and walked out after putting on his shoes because he didn't want shit in there. He wore a white wife beater, grey shorts, and a pair of white slidesEverything about being back in jail, he hated. He swore to not go back and technically he didn't because he didn't do anything
Some people he knew had spoke to him within the short time he was in there, Yuri went back on her lie within 48 hours and her parents and everyone else were highly disappointed
"Come on, come to the poles and call whoever to come pick you up."
He moped to the telephone poles to call his older and favorite sister to come get him, knowing she'd come
"Don't forget to brush yo' teeth when you make it home."
★★★★
"Sergio, I'm so sorry. I'm not trying to dismiss your emotions or feelings because I was definitely wrong, but we have to talk. This project is for three whole months, you can't just be dry with me if we want to win." Yuri pleaded for Sergio to talk to her while they sat in the back of the media center
They weren't in any classes together but Sergio had already finalized Yuri to be his partner before the situation. The head of the science department at their school asked everyone to come to the media center during 5th period
"Yuri... stop talking to me, bruh." He tapped his pencil against the desk, looking forward
Sergio was overly upset with Yuri, he had to explain to his family, coaches, admin, and colleges what happened. Luckily, she went back on her dumb lie before it could seriously affect Sergio. He could've lost his scholarships, been kicked out of the fair, and kicked off the football team, along
Everyone else was talking, brainstorming, jotting things down, or even starting and Sergio and Yuri weren't doing shit
"Sergio, can we at least start doing something and not just sitting here. Are you still gonna come to actually start doing things?" She asked
His head turned to her, he gave her a look that told her to shut the fuck up. He spoke once he turned his head back. "Yeah."
"Okay, well, I guess we'll talk then." She sighed, then put her head down
