I sighed sitting at my usual lunch table i sat at everyday by myself. i was always offered a seat at the table with the popular crowd the basketball jocks and cheerleaders but i i always declined. i didnt want to get close to anyone because i would never see them outside school related things. There is reason to lead people into no where..... now your probably wondering why i made an acception for Tiara... duhh because her dad is funding a major basket ball team {Miami Heat} as soon as i walked in the classs i knew who she was . No i dont plan on using her or anything but i need money i justvneed to get close enough to her so she can put in a good word to her dadd so he can put in a good word for me. The salary at my job isnt nearly enough for me and Jaun to survive on. I sat lost in my own worldnot even noticing Tiara had sat across from me til she snapped her fingers in front of my face. I looked up and smiled.

"Whats up Tiara.

"Nothin just chillen with my new Bestie Pedro."

"How im yo new bestie when you dont even know me?"

"Well.... how old are you?"

"16"

"Cool so what do your parents do."

"I dont know."

"How you dont know?"

"Well i have never told anyone but....im an orphan, all i know is i have a brother who is 8 years older than me but we got split up at the orphange when i was 4. I dont know anything about my parents i was only a baby when we gor put into the system."

"So....where and how are you living?"

"In the old apartments on 3rd street."

"By yourself?"

"Dios chica you ask too many questions."

"Sorry im just curious,How have you been getting by?"

"I work duh."

"Work how? As a drugdealer?"

I cut my eyes at her getting upset."No. im not a drugdealer.Or a gang member nor am i engaged in any criminal activities despite your stereotypical image on mexicans. Dios does everybody think that im some Cholo gang banger!?"

"No no no im sorry. i apologized i just assumed i didnt mean it like that i was just curious i-"

"-Forget it. lets talk about something else."

"Well what are you doing after school i was thinking we could hangout."

"Simple. Basketball practice work and home. thats my daily scedual." i say uncomfortably shifting in my seat.

"Thats no fun couldnt you take a breakfrom work?"

"Yeah if i wanna loose my job then my apartment. Fun dont pay the bills."

"Thats crazy. you must have had to grow up fast."

"Yeah.Pretty much."

"I could come to your basketball practice."

"And distract all the players nada mami."

"Its sexy when you speak spanish to me pedro. stop it."She giigled..

Not my intentions but thank you."

"Well can i atleast get your number?"

"I dont have one."
