{EDITED}

Well Valentines day was a bust. We didn't even go to the dances. Not that I'm complaining. Don't get me wrong I had fun with Zach. We watched crappy cliché romance movies and compared them to real life. Anyways, we went back to on Tuesday I had a heart attck.
We are getting out off last period, and I went to my locker. I open it a little pink paper flies out. I pick it up and read it.

Feliz día de corazon. Lo siento.

Santiago


Sorry what is he sorry for?

I place it in my locker and see a small red velvet box. I hold it in my hands and feel it between my fingers. I feel a presence behind me. I shove the box and letter into my bag. I turn around and face Zach.

"Hi." He says. I sigh and smile. He leans in and kisses me cheek.

"What was that for." I ask.

"I can't give my girl a kiss on the cheek." He smirks.

"Oh I wanna meet your girl." I push him aside. "Where she at?" I joke.

"I meant you." He smiles.

"Oh I don't recall you asking." I put my hands on my hips. He sighs.

"Would you be my girlfriend?" He smiles widely.

"Nope." I walk away. Leaving him standing in place with an astonished face.

"Wait, why not." He chases after me.

"We've only been on one date. Plus you have to get permission from my brother, mother, grandparents, and best friends." I say.

"Oh before I forget good luck at science camp." He tells me.

"Why I'm just taking care of a couple fifth grades plus I have Jay and Vanessa." I tell him.

"Wait this Jay character should I be jealous?" He asks.

"Yes, he's a total hottie." I joke.

"Where's he at?" He rolls up his sleeve.

"Honey he is like the hulk on steroids." I pat his shoulder.

"Well I got muscle." He flexes showing his muscles and vains. My life just ended.

"Okay let's go find him." I pull him upstairs.

Anyway they met they're friends left me alone. Gosh talk about bromamce.

I drive home and start packing. I grab three pairs of shorts and pants, seven shirts, two pairs of sweats. I pack my roches, my Nike Windbreaker, and two emoji pillows. I put my bags by the door and walk upstairs.

I grab my backpack. I see the box out of the corner of my eye.
I slowly open it and am awed by the sight. It's a gold crescent moon. I take it out of its box and hold it I'm my hands.

"Hey Alex." Gonzalo says from behind the closed door.

"What?"
