Reunited

Chapter 2

~10 Years Past~

"Levantate Rebecca ya es hora!" My mom yells while opening up my window.

"Ugh, ama otra hora mas." I reply in my sleepy voice.

A few minutes passed by and I got up from my bed. I did the regular routine. Take a shower, get dressed, brush my teeth, and do my hair. Once done I unplugged my phone from the charger grabbed my belongings and headed downstairs.

"Buenos dias Ama y Apa." I said in a happy tone.

"Good morning mija," my dad says backs.

My mom usually never replies in the morning since she's the one to wake me up. I sit down for like two minutes and then get up in a rush to the door. "Adios Ama y Apa!" I yell closing the door.
I headed down the street from my house and stopped at my bus stop. I waited there for about five minutes until the bus arrived. When the bus arrived I heard someone yell from behind me. I turned around and saw a dude that looked a year older than me. Was he new? Does he have any of my classes? Was he in the same grade as me? I mentally asked myself.
I sat down next to my bus buddy/ best friend Sebastian. During the ride to school we talked about the summer vacation plans we had in mind and of course we didn't forget to include Arianna in the plans. Arianna is my best friend/ partner in crime and etc. Sebastian has like this huge crush on her but he's afraid to tell her how he feels about her.
He always tried to impress her but always failed. For example, last year on Valentines Day Sebas (Short for Sebastian) ordered some chocolates that said Would You Be My Valentine but the people from the company misunderstood and it ended up saying Would You Be My Alien. She was angry but then pardoned him cause he explained the whole misunderstanding.
Well any ways we arrived to school. Sebas and me headed towards Ari who was sitting at a lunch table outside of the school concession stand.

"Morning Ari," I said.

"Morning cupcakes," she replied, but actually referring to Sebas and me.

"Be right back. Gonna go buy breakfast at the stand." I said.

I left the table and walked over to wait in line at the concession stand. I suddenly felt a tap on my left shoulder. I turned around and saw a big smile with the cutest dimples.

"Hi my name is Jaime Cruz." The person said.

"Oh um hi I am Rebecca Gomez." I replied. It took me three minutes to realize that the cute guy I saw at the bus stop was the guy that was in front of me introducing himself to me. "Aaaah" I yelled mentally.

"Nice to met you Rebecca."

"Nice to met Jaime, so are you new around here."

"Yea technically I am new but I used to live here since I was eight. I later left to Puerto Rico until now." He said.

"Oh that's sucks."

"What sucks?" He questoned.

"Oh I don't mean it in a rude way. It's just that for me it would suck that I grew up here and then was raised somewhere else and now they brought me back. I would really hate it, but how do you feel about it." I said.

He later said it wasn't such a big deal, but he was happy they came back. We got our breakfast and I walked him to my table. We talked for a good bit and then the bell rang. I had four periods with Jaime and Sebas and Ari had two with him.

➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
It was finally last period which meant Math. As much as I enjoy the class I hate studying math it was always my most difficult subject.
I guess it wouldn't get that hard after a while.The best part of this class for right now is that Jaime had my class.
The teacher asked him to sit next to me which made my day.
We did our daily routines sit in our seats, get out our math composition book, do the Bell Ringer, and then the teachers lecture. The last bell rang and I headed out the door with Jaime. I stopped at my locker and Jaime headed to his locker. I grabbed my bags and shut my locker.
I turned around to shut the door and saw Joel Pimentel. Joel is the jock prep and he's also my next door neighbor. Which is a pain in the ass. He's a man hore and a fuck boy. We used to be best friends which I don't really understand we used to be so closed and now he's a total jerk that only cares about himself.

"Sup Loser!" He said trying to catch up to me.

"Hey Joel I have to go but if your in need to talk to me come back later." I said turning my back.

"I can't come back because I won't be in school and neither would you." He said.

"Well you'll have to see me at my house if I am there." I said and took of to meet up with Jaime at his locker.

When I arrived to his locker I didn't see no where. I began thinking of where he had gone until I assumed that he left to meet me in my locker. I began walking back to my locker when something popped out of nowhere.

"Ahh!" I yelled.

I had a black out moment until I realized it was Jaime. "Dude you scared the crap out of me."

"Oh I'm sorry Becky. I mean Rebecca." He responded.

"It's okay if you call me Becky I'm okay with that." I said.

We walked out to the bus stop when we arrived our bus had been gone. Jaime said we could walk home and stop at a Starbucks. I agreed and we left. We walked for about two miles that's how it felt and arrived at Starbucks. We ordered our drinks and then headed home. We first stopped at my house. I opened the door to my house and welcomed Jaime.

"Wanna join." I said.

"No sorry have to go home and take my little sister to ballet practice." He said.

"Alright see you later." I responded.

I walked inside my house put the keys down and headed upstairs to my room. I got my phone out and called my mom.

"Hey mom. What time are you coming."

"Oh sweetie I'll get there as soon as I'm here I'll take a movie from redbox and a large pepperoni pizza your favorite." She said.

"Okay mom see ya. Kisses." I said.

My mom is a flight attendant she's not really home. She mainly stays at the airport that's a few miles away. Since it's Friday my mom and I have this tradition of taljing our problems every since my dad passed away since I was ten. Now that I am eighteen I had gotten over that.
About three hours passed and mom arrived. We ate pizza and watched 10 Cloverfield Lane which I got a bit scared. Once the movie finished my mom was telling me about a family we used to have a tradition with for a year.

"Oh remember Brenda Cruz and that little boy you used to have a crush on." My mom said.

"Yea mom I remember, but I didn't have a crush on him he was my best friend that year."

"Yea right mija you would always take him to your Musical Room. Then you two would sing "Boyfriend" by Justin Bieber." She said laughing her ass off.

"That's not funny mom and I didn't have a crush on him you know I like Erick. Also whats the big deal of bringing Jaime and his family up they left a long time ago and their is no need in talking about them no more." I said. Erick was my crush in middle school that's one reason I stopped crying for Jaime plus he was a person I never expected to meet.

"Oh sorry mi bebe hermosa. The reason I bought them up is because I saw them on the flight today Brenda and I where talking for a while and she said she will pass by our house in one point since Jaime got to enter that competition La Banda. You and hom would always talk about music." She said.

I acted like I feel asleep so she could leave. Once she left she covered me with a blanket and gave me a goodnight kiss on the forhead. I began thinking about Jaime. Oh I  actually did have a crush on him since I meet him I just never really admitted it to him or any one. I then got asked out to the homecoming by Erick which I said yes of course. I wouldn't let go of an offer like that.
From that night I feel in Ericks spell that I started building feelings for him. He asked me out and I was his girlfriend since last year my eleventh grade. I found him cheating on me which broke us up.
