Suppose to Keep a Secret

28 (part 2)

**Staz POV**

"Man, this sucks."
I don't know what I'm going to do while Kenra is gone for three weeks.
I wonder if he's allowed to text me?
Ms. Ameer and I got into the car and I drove us back to the house.

"Hey, Ms. Ameer?"

"Yes?"

"Do you know if they allow visiting?"

"Yes, actually. I'll give you the visiting hours and days when we get back to the house."

"Thank you."

She couldn't just give me the pamphlet? Or something that has all information? Its whatever, I guess.

-

After half an hour, we got back to the house, I waited outside for Kenra's mom to give me a note with visiting information.
Once she did, I hopped into my car and headed over to Alondras house.

-

I got to Alondra house and let myself in.

"Hola Staz. Alondras in her room."

"Gracias, Mrs. Mendoza."

I went up to her room and knocked. She was listening to El Colesterol. I let myself in again because it was being played on her speaker, she probably didnt hear me knock.
She was sitting at her desk doing her hair, singing along.

"¡Quieres que te guise un chicharron in pedazo de jamon!-"

"Alondra!"

"¡Qué!"

I went over to phone and turned down her music.

"Oh shit, my bad. I didn't hear you knock."

"I know you didnt."

"So where have you been?"

"I dropped off Kenra for his 'mission'."

"Mission?"

"Church thing. I'm going to visit him next week though."

"Whatever."

"¿Qué quieres decir?"

"I don't mean to offend you, or be a bad friend, but I mean all you do is really hang out with Kenra... Not with me as much anymore."

"I know, but you kinda have to realize that I really like Kenra."

"Sí sí, but I miss my best friend."

"That's why I'm here now."

"You're here now, but you'll disappear when Kenra comes back."

"He's mi novio. I think you forget that."

"I don't, believe me. But when he's busy you come to me, you hangout with me when he can't hangout with you. I'm a second choice. Last time I checked we had a code."

"Alondra, you've been my best friend since freshman year, and I wouldn't do that to you. You know that."

"Yeah, whatever."

"Alondra."

"Staz."

"Do you remember sophomore year?"

"Stop. That's different-"

"Different how? You treated me the same then how I am now."

"¡Qué! Different from how YOU'RE treating me now? !Dios mío¡"

"You're just mad because you don't like Kenra."

"You're right, I don't."

"You don't?"

"Yeah."

"Why not?"

"I don't know. He was went out with Jared at some point, and he got you into his drama. Hell, Jared beat you up because you're with Kenra."

"I know, but I'm willing to take punches from Jared or anyone else for Kenra. I really like Kenra."

"I love that you found someone you can trust, and that you love but I still don't trust him. I feel like he's going to screw you over, and I'm gonna say 'I told you so, Staz'."

"Then do it. But please still comfort me."

"Obviously I will, you like him a lot. And if he screws you over you're gonna be a mess, you'll need me, haha."

"I'm glad you're my best friend. Te amo."

"Yo también te amo."
