After our group session, I felt like we were closer. Brian put a record on in the foreign languages room of the library. We were dancing the time away. We went from dancing on the floor to dancing on the railing.
We were sitting on the rail. After John smoked a cigarette, he got up.
"I'll be off now. Back to the closet before Vernon knows I left."
"See ya Bender!" Andy said.
John went upstairs and up the shaft.
"I forgot about the essay," I said.
"Me too," Claire said.
"Don't feel like writing that stupid essay," Allison said.
Claire looked at Brian.
"Why don't you do it? You speak for all of us here."
Brian thought for a few seconds.
"Ok I'll do it."
We smiled. Claire looked at Allison.
"Come on."
Allison looked at her funny.
"Come on "
"Where we going?"
"You'll see."
They went to a small room.
"I'm gonna go to. Gotta pay someone a visit. Adios amigos!"
I walked to Brian and hugged him.
"See ya Bri."
"Bye Maria."
I left. I wanted to go see John.
I walked up the stairs and up the shaft.
I crawled and crawled.
"A naked blonde walks into a bar with a poodle under one arm a twelve foot salami under the other. Bartender says 'I suppose you won't be needing a drink,' the naked lady says-"
I noticed a vent open. I made it to John in a closet. I dropped down. He was sleeping. He was using his denim jacket for a pillow and his trenchcoat. I gently shook him awake. He was surprised to see me.
"You lost?"
I shook my head no. He smirked.
"What are you doing here?"
"Wanted to see you."
I sat next to him. He decided to share his trenchcoat cover with me.
"That was great today. Meeting all of you. I'm glad I got detention. I will never forget what happened, so memorable. Especially the group session thing. You were kinda harsh on Claire."
"I had to. Had to put her in her place. She deserved everything I had to say."
"I do understand."
He smirked again. I gave him a kiss on the cheek. He looked at me.
"Why'd you do that?" He whispered.
"Because I knew you wouldn't.Would you like to spend the rest of the weekend with me? Meet my brother, hang out?"
"Does your brother keep beer in the house?"
"Hmm hmm."
"I was just kidding you, of course I'll come hang with you. We went from acquaintances to frenemies to friends, and now I consider you my best friend. Possibly my girlfriend in the future."
"Ok...let's just stick to best friends ok?"
"Ok. It's cool."
"Promise we stick up for each other not matter the consequences, how many detentions we get, anything?"
"Promise."
"And if anything goes bad at home you're welcome to stay with me."
We pinky promised.
Soon, we were on our way out. We saw Carl mopping the floor.
"See ya Carl!" Me and Brian said at the same time.
John gave him the biggest beautiful smile.
"See ya next Saturday."
"You bet."
I saw Brian getting into his father's car while me and him waved at each other. I saw Andrew and Allison kiss. Allison had makeup on and not the black shit she wore before. She looked so different. She was pretty. She took a velcro patch off his jacket and got into her parent's car. I saw my brother Diego standing against his car. Claire smiled at me.
"Is that your brother? He is cute!"
I smiled at her back.
"See ya guys."
"Adios Claire."
I ran to Diego.
"Hola Diego!"
We hugged.
"This is my friend John."
They shook hands.
"Is it ok if he spends the night with us?"
"Si, it's cool."
We smiled. As we were about to get in the car, Mr. Vernon walked to us.
"Diego Moreno, I never thought I'd see the day-"
"Nice to see you too Mr Vernon."
"Yes, I remember you. No wonder Maria is rebellious. Just like you."
"I cleaned up my act muchos gracias. Had to for the custody of my sister, if it weren't for our parents getting deported, I probably would be in prison right now."
Vernon nodded.
"Understandable. I can always tell someone really loves their family they would sacrifice anything for them."
"Makes you think twice doesn't it sir?" John asked.
"I guess so Mr Bender. I'll see y'all on Monday."
"Adios Mr Vernon!"
He waved at us as went back in the school.
"Maria, you wanna drive? You got your permit, you might as well use it."
I smiled. I have always wanted to drive. We drove off as Vernon read the essay Brian wrote.
