CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

LUCRECIA

i walked next to irina and trina was ahead of us.

we were going to meet irina's father.

i noticed irina looking at me. "what?"

"nothing. it's just.. you look nice," she paused and then changed the subject. "i don't know how my dad's gonna be. this might not work."

i grabbed her hand and pulled her aside. "no matt-er what, we stay together. we're chang-ing everything."

she nodded, "i know."

"stay together, pro-mise?"

"i promise."

we grabbed each other's hands and walked to trina. "hey, it's game time."

"alright, let's do this."

"excuse me, where are you guys headed?" a guy stopped us.

"i cant let you guys in. we're on high alert around here."

"why? what's going on?"

"it's classified."

"alright, well we have our own classified business so come on." trina said, and we all walked past him.

"hey." the man stopped me.

"hey." i quietly said back. say something human, say something human. "how are you?" nailed it.

irina whispered "he's fine" to me and dragged me over to her and trina.
