Valeria took a sip from her Arizona Can as she looked across the street. She squinted her eyes as she saw Jasmine dance across the street.
"Look, all I'm saying is that green tea is the worst Arizona ice tea flavor." Jamal said with a shoulder shrug.
"Jamal your opinion is so irrelevant right now. I can't believe you just lied to yourself like that."
"Enough!" Ruby shouted at the two making Jamal gasp and Valeria raise an eyebrow. Seeing the glare he was getting he quickly opened his mouth to apologize "I'm sorry princesa that was rude of me it's just that all we were trying to do was be good friends... and now we're not friends."
Valeria frowned linking her hand with Ruby's.
"Yo, bitches be bonkers." Jamal said shaking his head, Ruby and Valeria both sighed in disappointment.
"Not you though, your great."
Ruby shook his head, bouncing his leg. "Not cool dude."
val shook her head glancing at the two boys. "I still don't understand why you guys put your Gatorade in bags."
"Cause we're looking hard. This is how you pull in the honeys, which is obviously how I got you." Ruby said sending her a wink.
"It's really not but-''
"No, we pull in the honeys by finding the RollerWorld money, this is lame. This ain't even real."
Ruby instantly retaliated, "You know what's not real? Is RollerWorld. There's no money buried in our neighborhood."
"It is real." Valeria defended.
"You see somebody has my back," Jamal fist bumped Valeria before continuing "and what do you know Ruby you don't even believe in the Yeti."
"Oh my god."
Valeria turned her head away from them catching Monse approaching the metal fence.
"Hey."
"Hey." the trio replied back.
"Soo... I'm cool if you're cool."
Ruby and Jamal both share a glance.
"I'm cool." The two boys say shrugging their shoulders.
Valeria stared at Monse pursing her lips.
"I'm sorry Val, what I did was very uncool." Monse said fidgeting with her fingers.
Valeria nodding her head.
"its good." She said lifting her can to take a sip. the two girls sharing a smile. "Cool. What's in the sacks?" her gaze drifted towards the boys.
"Forties."
"Gatorade."
Valeria and Monse let out a small laugh smiling. "I'll see you guys tomorrow."

"I'm sure it's not that bad." Valeria said smiling as she completed step 2 in her 10 step skin care routine, with Ruby on speaker phone.
"I'm in hell, like actual hell. I'm a man Val I can't share a room with my abuelita."
"Can't you just bunk with the twins?"
"That's worse." Ruby whined.
"Listen bebe I gotta go it's getting late but we'll talk tomorrow, okay?" She wrapped her hair in a high bun.
"Alright sleep well princesa."
Valeria blushed mumbling a goodnight before hanging up.

Valeria and Cesar walked out meeting their friends on the sidewalk.
"Good morning," Valeria said sweetly interlocking her hand with Ruby's she pecked his lips quickly. He then reached his arms out to hold her backpack making her smile handing it to him.
"I still can't believe he's dating my sister." Cesar mumbled to Monse, the pair walking slower then the rest of the crew.
"I kinda expected it. Ruby's been crushing on her since forever."
"Hey I need to tell you guys something." Monse called out.
Being interrupted by a loud gunshot. They all glanced at each other smiling ".44!" They shout in unison.
The two siblings turn their heads to the familiar red impala, Valeria immediately let go of Ruby's hand.
"Get in."
Cesar mumbled something under his breath sending an apologetic loon to Monse before walking to the car.
"I wanted to walk today."
"I'm not gonna tell you again." valeria rolled her eyes before she sent ruby a soft smile.
"See you later." she said taking her backpack from him.
"Move to the back with Cesar." Oscar directed to the man next to him causing him to sigh before quickly getting up and sitting in the back. valeria sent a small thank you to the man for moving before taking her seat in the passenger.
Monse, Ruby, and Jamal watched them drive off.
"what were you gonna say?" Ruby asked tilting his head slightly.
