Roses for a Santo (On My Block's Oscar Díaz)

Chapter 8

"Selena, again?"

"Yes, problem!?"

"No seas grosera!"

"I'll dress like Selena every year if I want, okay?"

Listening to my sisters argue again, I groaned getting up from the sofa, slowly since my sides still hurts a little.

It's been 4 days and I still felt the slight pain. Still doubt that something is broken though.

I walked to Catalina's room. Were Elena and herself were getting dressed for Halloween, they were gonna go to another town for trick or treating with Ruby, Jamal, Cesar and Monse.

"Just let her be Selena." I shrugged, while I looked at Catalina who was twirling around in her sparkling, purple Selena costume that abuelita actually made for her.

"Whatever, I just wanted to see her in something different, she's dressed up as Selena for 4 years straight." Elena sighed, grabbing her phone and she began to text.

"Go hate somewhere else in your basic bruja outfit!" Catalina glared at her then going back to her twirling. Unbothered.

"I'm a wizard!"

'Bruja fits you more."

"Pendeja!"

"Ah ya basta--- Ah!" I hissed when I felt the pain on my rib, it was minor though. Forgetting that I was still 'banged' up from when Anita and her friends jumped me. I grabbed my sides but tried to play it cool.

"Estas bien?" Elena asked. "You've been weird lately, are you hurt or something?"

"No, no, I grabbed a heavy box at work and my back still hurts a little." I lied.

The girls still don't know what happened and I plan to keep it that way.

Then my phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, I smiled.

"Estoy bien. Get ready. I have to answer this." I walked out of the room, walking into mines. Closing the door, threw myself on the bed and answered the call.

"Que quieres?"

"Te quiero a ti."

Bitting my lip, I quickly brushed it off. As if his words didn't have an effect on me whatsoever.

"idiota." I chuckled.

"Whatever, what are you doing tonight?"

"Nothing, I'll be home, giving out candy to the kids. The girls are going out of town with the others, Ruby's grandma will take them."

I was still annoyed that I wasn't the one driving them, Jamal insisted on picking Ruby's grandma, I don't know why.

"Hm, sounds like fun." Oscar said, clearly I could tell the sarcasm.

"I lied.  I'm going out to the club. I'll be dressed as a sexy maid."

Oscar laughed, even though I lied just to bother him. It wasn't the reaction I wanted...

"Don't believe me then." I hanged up. "Laugh now, puto."

-----/////-----

"Hurry up, girls!" I said as I was adding candy into a big bowl. "They are here!"

"I have arrived!" Ruby barged in, dressed as a vampire.

"oh..." Ruby stopped once he spotted me.
