I looked into her eyes, filled with worry. She stepped closer until we were breathing on each other.
I stepped back and shook my head to get out of our connection, this is not how is supposed to be, I'm just supposed to get her, not fall for her.
"So... Is that it?" I said.
"O um, we have an extension on our project, 3 weeks."
"Alright, 3 weeks... Well I'll be at school tomorrow so no need to worry sweetheart."
"Eww, don't call me that." She hissed at me.
"Bye princess." I waved at her. She whipped around and started towards the door.
I followed behind her and and right before opening the front door she turned. "And Antonio your the biggest douche I know."
I looked at her and leaned towards her.
"And you like it."
She blew out a breath and turned back towards the door and left.
Pleased at my accomplishment I walked to the kitchen to find my brother, Cameron digging into the cookie jar, aka 'secret money spot'.
"What do you think your doing."
"O, hey toni. I just need a little money, I'll put it back."
"What do you need money for?"
"O nothing just paying stuff off."
I raised an eyebrow, "Cam, your barely 15, what are you paying off."
"Stuff, ok! Just leave me alone."
He started to walk out but I grabbed him by the collar and pushed him against the wall.
"Not so fast. What's the money for?"
"Stuff. K. Now can you let me go!"
"No, Cam tell me what the money is for!"
" Alright-alright, it's for the pot I bought, ok, I owe some guys some money."
My anger was about to exploded. "WHAT!" I pushed him into the wall alittle harder. "How much."
"Calm down man, you did the same when you were my age. And you still are."
"I have never touched that shit, only sold it. You...you aren't supposed to copy me. I do this cuz I have to! You don't have to, that's why I'm doing this, so you won't."
He was wiggling under my hold.
"How much!" I yelled.
"524 hundred."
"Fuck Cam. You really screwed up."
our cookie jar had money, but it wasn't that much. We might have 100 but no more.
"I'll pay it off I just need the money now, I was gonna pay it back."
"O really! How? Last time I checked you have no job."
"I don't know, I'll figure something out."
"Where are you gonna get the rest of the money?"
"I was going to take Peds money and some of yours and all of mine."
"Like hell you are! Pedro is 11 years old don't take his money. And I have none, 20 bucks that's it but I need it for gas." I let him go and sat down at the table.
"How much do you have?"
"48."
"How much was in the cookie jar?"
"83."
"131! That's all we have! We need 393 more dollars! What were you thinking."
"I wasn't ok."
"Hey Ped come here." I yelled out.
My 11 year old brother walk in from around the corner. "53."
Shit! He was listening to us. "Hey Ped I'm sorry you have to be tangled up in this mess, but we need the money. I swear Cam will pay you back."
"It ok, Ik he's in trouble."
"184, 340 more to go" I mumbled.
"Cam when do you have to pay up?"
"Sunday."
Fuck! 2 days to get the rest, I shook my head and walked out of the kitchen. 2 days...
