Amelia's POV

Dad dragged me to watch Alex play

HE TOOK ME OUT  OF DANCE !

I sit pouting arms crossed

Some may say I'm a brat now but I don't want to cheer on my .......ex-friend ?

"Dale, Dylan, dale. You got this! Stand right in there, don't be afraid of the ball." Penelope cheered

We all groaned when the ball smacked Dylan really hard,"Just shake it off, Dylan! Shake it off! Yes! Way to take one for the team!"

Jesus it's hot ..actually it's like 70 degrees but with all the layers I have on because of dance

Lydia took out a bottle of rum and started rubbing it on her neck, "Ay, por el amor de Dios....it is so hot."

"All right, Mami,Ami , let's do the wave." Penelope said

She stood up and cheered, passing the wave down the line, but it quickly ended when i refused to participate.

"Nope." I said, as the four of them booed me

"Okay, let's eat. Mami, comida." Penelope said

Lydia opened the cooler and started pulling out food,
"Okay, the rice and the frijoles are in the pickle jar...and the lechón is in the butter tub..and the cookies are in the cookie tin, but they are not they same cookies that came with the tin. And Amelia's favorite...jogurt with strawberries cheesecake bites"

OMG I LOVE THE CHEESECAKE BITES

But I'm not hungry

Penelope forgot the napkins so Elena and Schneider went to go napkins, while the rest of us continued to watch the game.

"Okay, Alex is up. Here we go, ladies." Penelope said

"Wooo go alex" I said in a very monotoned voice

"Here we go, papito." Penelope cheered

Schneider and Elena came back from getting napkins and cheered with us. Alex hit the ball and everyone cheered as he ran the bases.

I fix all my clothes  making sure it's all even

"Go, Go, Go!" They cheered, and began to sing as Lydia waved a Cuban flag, "Dale, papito, dale!"

__________

"What a game, papito!" Penelope congratulated the young boy as we walked into their apartment.

"Hello, dodgers? You want Alex Alvarez? We'll think about it!" Lydia joked

I sit in the couch still annoyed that I have to be here

"Can I go now I have cheer practice" I asked my dad

"No your staying..this is your family so support him" he replied

"You did good today I guess" I said to Alex sitting down

"A lot of your games are a real snooze, but today was good! And then you got that hit!" Penelope said

"Dale!" My dad cheered, slapping Alex on the back

"Dale, papito, Dale" They continued to sing

Elena tried to sing it, but she sang it weirdly and everyone stared at her, "Whoo, look who's suddenly a sports fan."

"Oh! It's not that. I'm just proud of my heritage. You know, my Cuban heritage." She insisted

"Okay." Penelope replied, confused
