"Hi sol "i call her sol cause that was my nick name for her and he love it "hey ana i miss you over the weekend " she said with a tight hug "me too sol but today is only gonna be me and you ok no matter what i promise " i told her then she gave me a smile that i won't forget. The bell rang and we went to class when me and sol got inside the class we sat down and then one of my other cuzins jean Carlos he always trying to flirt with sol but she always ignore him. The day went by fast and at the end i went home to change clothes i put on some shorts with a red tank top and a red bandana then i left and meet sol in a our place . "Hey ana im here sorry i was late i was helping andre with his homework " "yeah is ok dont worry " i told her with a smile minutes later me and her were eating ice cream just walking on the park when suddenly my auncle raul came. his red truck pull up as he called my name "ana maria come here i need you to do a small favor for me " "hold up a sec sol imma be back ok " i told her with a grin on my face she gave me a weak smile trying to make me think she was ok with that . When i went with my auncle he gave me a hug "hey ana maria hows everything? you look so grown since the last time i saw you hows your mother ?" i look at him and gave him a straight face he look at me back with a sneaky smile " well everything is good and shes fine thanks for asking " we had a momment of silence then that's when he was gonna tell me what he wanted me to do. he scratched his back of his neck clearing his throat "well ok look you know if you do this favor for me youll have a better life and people in this barrio gonna respect you and know that your the best "i gave him a look of disgrace how could he think that i dont even know what is the favor . "imma get to the point ok so all you have to do is be at the central plaza by ms. rosa bakery tonight at 12:26 ok you gonna pick up 10 lb of cocaine that's all you gonna have 11 of my men with you so you have nothing to worry about " i thought about it for sometime i thought about my mom and friends "NO AUNCLE WHAT MAKES YOU THINK IMMA MESS UP MY LIFE LIKE YOU DID...SO YOU CAN FIND YOURSELF ANOTHER DUMASS "everybody was looking at us and started whispering with each other sol looked at me and gave me the lets go look so i headed towards her and started walking away from my auncle ." you gonna regret this ana watch im going to hurt you were it hurts the most ".i turned around and saw a sneaky smirk on his face i dint pay attention to it and kept walking by sol side she looked worry and i told her everything was gonna be ok and to not worry she only nodded at me but i just kept on walking with sol .we stop and said our goodbyes sol went her way and i went my way when i got home my mom started screaming and snapping "ana maria gonzales why are you so late you know i get worried coño and you dont listen " i went to my room and closed the door then i took a shower so i could go to sleep when i was done taking a shower i put on my pajamas and went to bed while i was laying on my bed i was thinking of what my auncle told me earlier on the park. then i felt asleep.
