Me and my friends sit on the floor of Ruby's living room. It's a week until school starts and none of us our ready. Academically or emotionally.
"This first thing I'm gonna do is get a girlfriend." Ruby tells us.
"How's that's gonna happen?" Monse jokes. We all laugh at him. He's been trying to get a girlfriend since 6th grade, but all the girls have rejected him.
"It's gonna happen!" He yells. "I will find a girlfriend."
"Or boyfriend." I tell him.
"For the last time! I'm not gay!"
"You never know." Cesar tells him. "I think I can pick up a girl." He says laying down.
"You make it sound like girls are objects." I tell him laying down too. "No girl will date you if you say that."
"Then what should I say?" He asks.
"Not that. Also, I've been meaning to ask you, does Oscar have a girlfriend?" I ask, as casually as I can.
"Not that I know of, why?"
"Don't tell me you're into him, are you?" Jamal asks. "He's big, tall, and scary as shit!"
"Are you? Cause I don't think my brother would be a good person for you to date." Cesar says looking at me. I bit my lip a bit. I could lie, but they're my friends, they know when I'm lying.
"Ok. So maybe I do like him. Just a little bit!" I tell them sitting up.
"I don't know y/n-" Cesar starts, but he's interrupted by a car honking outside. "I got to go. I'll see y'all tomorrow?" He says picking up his stuff.
"I'll go with you." I tell him.
"What do you mean? To the door, or the car?"
"To your house."
"No! I don't want you going over. You can walk me to the car and that's all." He says walking with me to the car.
"Hey Oscar!" I say waving a hand from the curb. Cesar shoves me in the stomach.
"What did I just tell you!" He exclaims.
"Hey! Y/n right?" He says rolling down the windows. "Need a ride?" He asks.
"Sure. I live about a block down from you and Cesar's house." I say smiling walking towards the car. I look over and Cesar rolls his eyes.
"Get in the back, boy. You can let the young lady sit in the front." He says smiling. I don't think I've ever seen him smile. During the ride he turns up the radio. We talk for a while, and keep a conversation going for a while.
"This is me." I say pointing at my house. He pulls over, "Have a good night y/n." He says as I get off. I look over at Cesar, who's obviously avoiding eye contact.

The next day I asked Cesar if I could come over. I said I "needed help with signing up for classes".
"I'm not home." He tells me over the phone.
"I can wait for you at your house." I say already walking down to his house.
"No! Wait for me to get there. You know we don't want you being alone with Oscar." He says frantically. I'll be home in about half an hour. Please just wait for me."
"Ok." I smile, hanging up on him. Knocking on the door, I check my phone. 5:47.
"I don't want your Girl Scout cookies." Oscar says opening the doors. "Oh. It's you. Cesar's not home, but you can wait inside."
"Well, I guess." I say walking in.
"You know what, I'm surprised Cesar hasn't made a move on you y/n." He jokes opening a beer.
"Yeah. I'm still sort of saving myself, you know."
"I feel you. For who?" He asks me.
"Definitely someone older."
"Hmmm."
"He gotta be tall, have some muscle, tough, feel me?"
"What you think about me?" He asks.
"I think you're a good idea of what I had in mind." I smile.
"Well, if that's what you really want, I can't say nothing."
"What do you say?"
"I say, I've liked you for a couple months now, because before, I just saw you as one of Cesar's friends. I mean, I've known you since you where little."
"Me too."
"Wanna get out of here, before Cesar gets back." He asks getting the keys.
"I was just thinking the same thing."
"Come on, let's go before Cesar gets back." He tells me opening up the door for me.
