"So basically you are telling me since I really good grades last year all I have to do to get a C in all my classes that I'm failing, is to do community service at the fair today?" I asked my counselor for the thousandth time.

"Yes Sol. Then from there I'm pretty sure you could get your grades up to an A if you do well by the end of the semester." She said.

"Oh okay. But that doesn't make sense."

"Sol I emailed your teachers this last week because I know you're not the failing type, and they agreed. But not only you'll be working at the fair this week, you'll also be doing other community services until the end of the semester."

"Hm okay. So when do I start?"

"Tomorrow after school."

"But right after school I have swim practice." I told her. I am really committed in swim. Its my absolute favorite class.

"I talked to your coach and he's okay with it, but you'll make it up later this year."

"That's what I get for being a stupid dumb ass and letting my grades slip."

"What happened anyways that made you like this? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." I sighed but decided to tell her.

My councilor is the best. During our little break she asked me if I wanted Starbucks and her husband brought it to us. Mm Passion fruit ice tea lemonade. It's also Yoandri's favorite drink. Then for lunch she gave me ice cream since that is what she has in her mini freezer. I literally talked to her all school day and a little bit over. We were mainly talking about Zandra's death, Yoandri and I break up, me smoking, she even helped me set up a doctors appointment for them to check if I haven't gotten any type of cancer yet. Hopefully not.

"Alright Sol. Its about to be 4 o'clock. If anything, you're always welcome here anytime, unless I'm busy you'll have to wait for a bit." She smiled.

"Thank you Mrs. Lopez. You're the best." I said. I grabbed my things, and my homework that my teachers send me, and left. Once I'm in the front, waiting for Noelia, I see someone kind of similar at the park across the street from me.

Beep beep

"Hurry up Sol!" Noelia said. I completely ignore her. Instead I drop my stuff and started to run to that person. Why? I'm not sure. 

"Hey." I said. That person then turn around.

"Sol?" Fuck.

*Joel's POV*
We finally arrived to New York. I'm honestly not in the mood to perform and meet fans, but they're my life. I owe them for helping me to get here. I owe Zandra for everything really.

"Hola Joel, can I hug you?" Asked a fan interrupting my thoughts.

"Uh, yea of course. You don't have to ask love." I smiled down at her.

"I'm sorry about what happened about Zandra Joel." She said hugging me tighter.

"How did you know?"

"It was all over the news, she was my role model. Being a hero, risking her life for you and her cousin. She was an amazing girl."

"She was more than amazing." I sighed.

"Don't cry Joel. Be happy that you're here. Meeting your beautiful fans, you're doing what you love the most, be happy that you this opportunity that no one else has." She said wiping a tear. I didn't realized that I was crying.

"Thanks." I said smiling at her. She then left. Yea but Zandra never got the opportunity to travel the world, doing what she always wanted to do, finished her goals. Ugh.

"Time to go on stage." The guy said.

"In 5,"

"Joel!"

"4,"

"I,"

"3,"

"Love,"

"2,"

"You."

"1. Oh eh, oh ehhho" we sang.

*Zandra/Bella's POV*
"Bella, Luis. You guys are on security duty today at this concert near Times Square." Our boss said.

"From what time to what time?" Luis asked.

"1pm until its over." He said.

"Perfect. When is lunch time?" I asked. Yes that's all I'm worried about.

"When you guys are done. But bring some snacks with you just in case." He said. Then we left to wherever we are heading to.

.

"Cnco cnco!" Girls yelled. Why does that sound so familiar?

"quiero que tus ojos me miren 
Y que tus labios me besen
Para que nunca me olvides
Dime qué te parece" oh.

Crap, hopefully they don't recognize me. Either way I shouldn't worry because after all I am in front of them. Near them, close to them. UGH I JUST WANT TO SEE JOEL ALREADY! but I can't. Ugh Joel.

*flashback*

"Sera tus ojos? Sera tu pelo? Ese perfume que esta en tu cuerpo, es como un sueño del que no despierto
cuando te acercas te quiero besar." He sang getting close to me, but I turned away so he kissed my cheek.

"Oooh getting all kissy I see." Angelina said.

"Oh shut up Angie." I said playfully making a dirty face at her.

*end of flashback*

All of a sudden a girl manage to jump over the fence an on the stage. I quickly jump on stage and see her hugging Joel. Really? Out of the whole group you choose Joel. I then ran to them and separated them. I then manage to get her off stage and handcuffed her to a nearby pole.

.

"Hey." I heard someone say.

"Oh hello." I said to Joel.

"Um I wanted to say thank you for saving me from that person." He said shyly but smiled.

"Its my duty." I smiled back at him.

"Can I ask you a question?" He asked.

"Of course you can love."

"Is your name Zandra Gracia." I don't know what to say.
