Chapter 36 : meeting little Yoyo

"January, you need to go to the Head's office now, Miss Myers wants to talk to you about something."

Celine and Serena mouth to me asking why, but I just shrug and leave.

I walk to the heads office, unsure as to what I'd be in trouble for. I do all my work, I'm always in class, I'm not a bully. Oh fuck, it might be my grades. Well technically it's not my fault that I struggle.

I knock, softly, but no answer so I knock again hardly. I walk in. I trip over my shoe, cursing under my breath. I look up and almost jump out my skin when I notice how pale the boy is.

His big soft brown eyes staring at me, sculpted cheek bones creasing when he smiles. He's not a body builder, but not a nerd either. He looks like a normal guy so what would he be doing in this dump of a school? Plus it's time for GCSEs now, why now? We're going to leave!

"If your done gawping, is like you to show Mr Cabrera around the school, please," I smile at the head before walking out.

The boy walks after me, he looks familiar, don't know how but, definitely familiar. I think of something to ask but nothing comes to mind, as we walk past classrooms silently.

"I know you," the boy says.

"Okay then, not creepy at all." I say sarcastically.

"Have I, done something wrong?" The boy asks, a look of concern reflecting on his eyes as his lips tremble as if he's about to cry.

I sigh. "No I'm sorry, I don't know why they chose me. I'm so boring," he stops walking.

"Do you speak Spanish?"

"Yes," I reply briefly.

"Then that's why," he says as he walks again.

"Go on then," he looks back at me with a puzzled face.

"Tell me how you know me," "well," he says, as rolling up his sleeves as if he's going to tell a story.

"Do you know Yoandri Cabrera?"

Yoandri? Uncle YoYo? Yes that's one of my uncles, the one my dad hasn't seen in a while. But how would this kid know him.

And then it hit me. "Ohhhh no way? You're my Yoan? You were the one who cut off the hair to my doll, just because I stole Hafsa colours. You were quite the peace-maker weren't you?" I hug him tightly. Caress his cheek.

"Can't believe it's you," I whisper.

"Oi, I can't believe you'd do that after you kissed me!" I hear a shout from the corridor. I whip round quickly seeing Valentino, with his fists curled up, his lips pressed in a thin line.

"Just, just. Fuck you! Stupid slut, we're done! " Valentino shouts before running away from the situation.

I could hear my heart shatter in two, How my heart weighted ten times more it'd normal weight. The warm tears run down my face, I could feel my knees go weak.
"Little yoyo, he broke up with me," I sob in a hug.

"Look Little Jojo, it's okay, you did nothing wrong, if he wants to accuse you then, he isn't the one. If he is, he'll realise he was in the wrong. Remember. I'm your like brother ok? I'm back in your life," he wipes my tears and we make it back to English.

"Ah. New student. And you are?" Miss Myers thin lips twitch into a smile, but in seconds she turns back into the frantic woman she is.

"Yoan, I just moved from California,"

"Ooh he's cute, hermoso muy lindo ahhh" Serena shouts making the class dissolve into laughter.

I jab him in the stomach, then smile sarcastically at him.

"Wait January is that the new boy?" Hafsa whispers at the table.

"Don't whisper at the table Hafsa. Don't you recognise me?" She stares at him for a while, her eyes decreasing in size as she tries to rack her brains for answers.

"OMG little YoYo!"

"In the flesh," he says as he smiles, pointing at himself. He's a spitting image of his dad.

"Can someone fill me in? HOW DO YOU KNOW HIM?" Lydia shouts across the table. We laugh all lunchtime talking about still things we did as a child.

I'm so glad I got my Little yoyo back. Can't wait to tell papa uncle Yoyo moved back in.

"Papa papa papa!" Me and Hafsa both shout as we open the car door.

"Ok ok, girls, one at a time!" Papa shouts flapping his hands.

"Yoyo is back?" I say rapidly before Hafsa opens her mouth to say anything.

"Uncle Yoyo?" He asks. I could see it in his eyes he's disappointed that Uncle Yoyo didn't tell him.

"Tell Yoan I'm picking him up tommorow," he says. His eyes becoming glossy, as he grins.
