"Wait," I said to June as we made our way to the school's front door,"She's going to the dance with Manolo?!"
June looked down,"That's what I said...there was nothing I could do or say to stop her without threatening our friendship."
"¡Esa puta se llevó a mi hombre!(that bitch took my man!)"
She looked at me,"What?"
"Nothing," I answered,"I'm just upset. He promised that he would take me."
"That was before y'all broke up," June said,"He's really not all that great. You need to get over him."
"What happened to your boyfriend?," when she didn't speak, I said,"You let that puta de culo feo pelirroja rosa, (ugly pink headed asshole) have your Chico(boy) but I'm not ending up sad and lonely like you."
She narrowed her eyes at me but she knew I was right.
"We have to think of a plan," I said to her,"A way to get that puta (bitch)away from mi amor(my love)."
"Just give it up, Anielka. There's nothing you can do to stop her."
"I'll do whatever I can to stop her! I love him too much and he is mine! She took him away from me and for that she will suffer!"
June stop walking and looked into my eyes,"You will do nothing of the sort!"
"You can't stop me!" I said as I pushed past her and skipped away.
"I swear if you hurt her-"
I couldn't hear the rest of the threat cuz I walked out the doors.

"Abuela," I called as I enter my house,"I'm home!"
I smelt tamales as I walked in and put my stuff down,"¡Hola, Anielka! ¿Cómo estás? (Hello, Anielka! How are you?"
"Soy buena, Abuela. ¿Es eso para la cena? (I'm good grandma. Is that for dinner?)"
"Si, si, ve a lavarte y prepárate para la cena.(Yes, Yes, go wash up and get ready for dinner.)" said grandma.
I said ok and headed up the stairs. I went and took a shower. When I went in my room to get dressed, I was excited to see a beautiful ball gown hanging in my closet,"Abuela!!!"
I screamed and jumped up and down, holding the gown,"Es bonita!!!(Its beautiful!!)"
Grandma grinned ear to ear,"Sabía que te gustaría. lo diseñé para que te quede bien.(I knew that you would like it. I tailored it so it would fit you)"
"¡Me encanta! ¡Es perfecto, gracias!(I love it! It's perfect, thank you!)"
"Me alegro de que te guste. ¿Crees que a ese chico que te está tomando le va a gustar también? (I'm glad you like it. Do you think that guy who is taking you will like it too?)"
"....si...." I said not looking at her big eyes.
"¡Bueno! ¡Cena de celebración!(good! Celebration dinner!)" she shuffled back into the kitchen.
I shut my door and sunk to the floor. Manolo is going with Naomi. But Grandma still thinks I'm going with him. And she liked him so much! What am I gonna tell her?! She's gonna be so upset that I don't have a date...what am I gonna do?!
