"Kevin, ven wey!" Luis yelled from across the field. Kevin turned to look at Isa and she nodded at him, "ve, ándale" she told him as she gave him a little push. Kevin smiled and as soon as he jogged away toward Luis, Uriel and Jorge wasted no time and rushed over to Isa.
"Isa, no manches," Uriel said, his face a little pale, "la neta, sí estamos asustados."
Isa raised an eyebrow, laughing lightly. "¿Asustados? ¿Por qué?"
"Kevin no nos ha hablado en todo el día," Jorge added, looking over his shoulder to make sure Kevin wasn't nearby. "Y cada vez que nos ve, nos lanza una mirada bien fría, como si nos fuera a meter una madriza."
Isa couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Ay, no sean dramáticos. Kevin no les va a hacer nada."
Uriel shook his head. "No, no, de verdad, Isa. Te juro que nunca lo había visto así. Como si estuviera planeando algo."
Jorge nodded vigorously. "Sí, wey. Es como si estuviera esperando el momento perfecto para cobrárnosla por estar cerca de ti. Así que... ¿qué tal si mejor te alejas poquito de nosotros para que no nos odie tanto?"
Isa laughed even harder, holding her sides. "Kevin no es así, se los juro. Está todo bien."
But Jorge wasn't convinced. "Mira, Isa, yo lo sé. Tú puedes pensar que es un pan de Dios, pero ese wey, cuando se trata de ti... no me fío. Como me mire así otra vez, me voy a disculpar aunque no sepa ni por qué."
Uriel nodded in agreement, a mock serious look on his face. "Ya decidimos que si se lanza sobre nosotros, nos rendimos. No queremos problemas, pero si siguen esas miradas, vamos a tener que cambiar de equipo."
Isa wiped a tear from laughing so hard. "Bueno, pues si eso pasa, me avisan y yo le digo que los deje en paz."
Jorge gave her a skeptical look. "Si no es demasiado tarde..."
Uriel smirked. "Nomás no nos dejes solos con él, porfa."
Isa grinned, shaking her head. "De veras, ustedes son los más dramáticos que conozco."
Luis and Kevin were talking on the other side of the field, discussing some strategy for the drills, when Kevin's eyes wandered again, automatically searching for Isa. He spotted her standing with Jorge and Uriel. His smile faltered, and a frown crept across his face as he noticed both of them standing a little too close to her for his liking.
Uriel and Jorge, who had been watching Kevin like hawks, immediately sensed the shift in his mood.
"Ya valimos, wey," Uriel whispered, stepping behind Isa for cover.
"Te lo dije, nos va a romper la cara," Jorge muttered, also positioning himself behind Isa, trying to make himself less visible.
Isa, completely amused by the situation, smiled and waved at Kevin from a distance, trying to ease the tension. Kevin's frown melted away almost instantly, and he flashed her a grin, waving back.
Luis, noticing the whole interaction, nudged Kevin with his elbow, laughing. "No manches, ya los tienes temblando. Míralos, escondiéndose como si fueras un toro listo para embestir."
Kevin chuckled, shaking his head. "No es para tanto."
"Sí, claro. Diles eso a ellos," Luis said, still laughing as he waved at the group. "Mira a los pobres, parecen niños chiquitos asustados."
Uriel peeked out from behind Isa. "¿Crees que ya se calmó?"
Jorge squinted at Kevin, still cautious. "No sé, wey. Todavía parece que si me acerco más, me va a romper la madre. Mejor quedamos aquí. Isa es nuestro escudo."
