"How'd you know?" Tatiana gasped. She pulled out a pair of Puma shoes from the box Oscar gave her and stared in amazement. "You even got the right size."
"You've been talking about those shoes for like 2 months."
"Yeah, but I didn't know you actually listened." Tatiana smiled. She pulled out the shoes and held them against her chest as she looked up to Oscar from the bed. "Thank you."

"That's all I get?" Oscar asked. Tatiana squinted her eyes at him then motioned for him to come closer to her and the bed. Oscar started it and basically grabbed Tatiana's head to start kissing her.
"Don't you have Santos things to do?"
Oscar shook his head and moved Tatiana so he could sit down in her spot. "Nothing the guys can't handle themselves." Oscar told her.
Tatiana put her shoes back in the box and Oscar watched her walk to their closet and store it away before comin back and jumping over to sit right next to Oscar.
"Does that mean we can watch movies now?" Tatiana asked excitedly. "The new season of La Casa De Papel came out."
"I thought it came out later?" Oscar asked. Tatiana shook her head and pulled out her laptop to open up Netflix. "I'll get the snacks."

Tatiana walked down some of the stairs of the school and spotted Cesar. At least the back of his now bald head. "Hey, Ces." Tatiana greeted, coming up behind the freshman and throwing an arm across his shoulders.
"Hey, Tati."
"So, how've you been?"
Cesar nodded and turned his head to Tatiana. "I've been good. Jamal's parents are letting me live with them right now."
"You don't live in my old house anymore?"
Cesar shook his head and continued walking with Tatiana's arm around him. "I didn't want to stay to long an bother your mom."
"She's never there anyway because of work. At least now you get to have a sleepover with your friend everyday." Tatiana smiled, but Cesar's was fake. "If it makes you feel any better, Oscar's talking to Cuchillos about letting you back. He has like 5 plans, but he won't show it because he has a stick up his ass."
Cesar laughed at that, then spotted Monse walking up. "Yeah, he's always been like that."
"It's not his fault though. Your dad and uncles drilled it into his head that looking vulnerable makes you a bad leader."
"Hey guys."
"Hey, Monse." Tatiana greeted, leaning down to hug said girl. "I like your hair."
"I watched YouTube videos." Monse smiled.
"Yeah, she looks like a girl now." Cesar chimed in, earning a glare and punch in the shoulder. "I was joking."
Monse shook her head and went to the otherside of Cesar to walk with them. "So what have you two been up to?"
"Monse met her mom."
Tatiana shot her head over to Monse with a really big smile on her face. "Really?!"
Monse nodded with a smile that matched hers and pushed Cesar over so she could stand beside Tatiana. "I found her on Halloween but I didn't know for sure. Then she gave me a job to help her with writing her new book, but turns out she knew it was me. Now we talk like everyday, and she goes by Julia now."
"Did you tell your dad yet?"
Cesar nodded, but Monse just stayed silent and looked away. "You said you were going to tell him last week."
Tatiana snuck away from the couple and went to the back gate where Oscar told her to meet him. "How can I help you, master?"
"Mas- cállate." Tatiana laughed at his reaction as she slipped through the opening of the gate. "I can't see my girlfriend?"
"You dropped me off two hours ago." Tatiana stated, but that didn't stop her from wrapping her arms around his neck. "Look, I'm wearing the shoes you bought me." Tatiana beemed, lifting up her foot and showing off her shoe, making Oscar laugh at her.
The pair sat in the impala, since Tatiana didn't have a class, playing Uno for almost an hour. For some reason, Tatiana carried them in her backpack, so she's been beating Oscar's ass. "Tati, stop cheating!"
"I'm not cheating! You just suck!" Tatiana exclaimed. She then laughed as Oscar threw his cards and leaned back against the window. "You made a mess."
"I'll make a mess inside of y-" Oscar was cut off by the school bell, so Tatiana laughed again.
"I have to go, so you clean it up." Tatiana leaned over to kiss Oscar goodbye, but he leaned back. She smacked her lips, then forcefully grabbed Oscar's head to pull him closer. "You can rearrange my guts all you want after school."
