"Hey guys" I greeted them as I sat beside J at the lunch table. "What's up?" "The first school dance is coming up in two weeks" T said. "Cool. Who you taking?" I asked J hoping she would say me. "Actually.....Kayla is making me take her to the dance." I felt myself about to cry. "Oh..." I said disappointment clear in my voice.
"But she's not who I wanna take" J said making me smile instantly. "Who do you really wanna take?" I asked knowing that she was gonna say me. "I honestly wanna take you" she said making me blush. "Her!" T and Jas said in unison. "Now wait a minute J. No offense to you Selena, but you've only known her for 3 months." I slouched in my seat feeling slightly uncomfortable.
"You've known us for years. Now all of a sudden you wanna take her to the dance?" T said the anger clear in her voice. "Yeah Selena. You can't just show up and change our J. You barely know her. She didn't change for us and she won't change for you. Right J?" Jas argued with a fiery look in her eyes. "Actually ladies. She can, I can, and I have." J said saving me from crying in front of them again.
They said nothing as J got up and walked away. Jas was furious and T was trynna calm her down. "You won't go to the dance if you know what's good for you" Jas said as she walked out with T. Maybe I shouldn't go to the dance. I hate dances anyway. I'll just lay in bed.....and cry. I willed the rest of the day to go by faster but time didn't work in my favor.

I woke up to my phone ringing from an unknown number. I decided to take the call. It could be important. I answered it.
Me: hello???
Unknown: hey did I wake you?
Me: who is 'I' exactly?
Unknown: it's me Selena. Giggles
Me: oh ok. Qué pasá, linda?
Sel: Mamá wants you to come over for dinner tonight.
Me: su Mamá?
Sel: giggles. Y mí. Un pequiño. ¿Por favor guapo?
Me: Ok ok. Stop flirting you're bad at it. I'll be over in 30. By the way, what number is this?
Sel: house phone. My cell is charging. See you soon.
Me: cya later
I took a quick shower and put on my sports bra and boxers as i recieved a text from Selena. Wear something fancy ;) I rummaged through my closet to find something of my kind of 'fancy'. I decided on:
White button down, sleeves rolled up
Black skinnies
White Nike's
Hair in a low pony tail
I put in my diamond earrings and grabbed my phone. Then I made my way to Selena's house.

I paced back and forth between the living room and the kitchen. "Mamá, do you think she will come? She said she'll be here in 30. It's been 40 minutes." I chewed on my nails vigorously. "Stop worrying sweetie. Any sane person would be out of their mind to pass you up mija."
I sat down on the couch and there was a knock at the door. I practically bolted to the kitchen. "Mamá she's here. Please, how's my breath?" I asked as I blew out a puff. "Minty" she clarified. "Teeth, hair, makeup ok?" "Honey just open the door and let her judge that" she said as she pushed me away. I opened the door and greeted her.
"Hi..." I breathed out. "Hey gorgeous" she leaned down and kissed my cheek causing thousands of sparks to course through my veins. I locked the door and led her into the living room, "Mamá J is here." "Holá mija. ¿Como esta?" She said as she kissed both of my cheeks then headed back into the kitchen.
"I have a surprise for you" I told her. "I'll be back." I went into my dad's office and told him that dinner was ready. I didn't tell J that she would be meeting my father tonight. I hoped she enjoyed surprises and that my father approved.
I cleared my throat loudly and J looked back at me with a confused look on her face. "J....meet my father. Papá this is J." She stood up to shake his hand as he looked her over. "She's a female mija" he said as he made his way to the kitchen. I hoped deep down in my gut that this went well.

We all ate dinner in silence. Her father had been giving me the evil eye. I don't think he likes me. Amber cleared her throat loudly making us all look up at her. "So..... How long have you kids been dating?" She asked making me choke on my food. "Selena," her father said in a stern voice. "You may not see this girl anymore. I do not approve and I forbid you."
He rose from his seat glaring at me. "Papá please you don't understand-" "I do understand. She has corrupted you." I took that as my cue to leave. I stood looking at Amber, "Thank you for dinner. It was... Enjoyable." I glanced over to Selena who was hiding her face in embarrassment and crying silently. I walked out the door and vowed to make her mine.
