Hoodie [Alejandro Rosario]

Chapter 19

Alejandro started the car and they followed behind Mattia's car. Everyone rode together besides Alejandro and Christi. So Alejandro and Christi were alone in his car, like earlier.

"Wonder what they're talking about." Christi lshifted her body to look through the back of Mattia's cars windows.
"Probably stupid shit, if not, it's about Mattia being horny somehow." Alejandro laughed. Christi joined him.

"So, you and playing the guitar?" Alejandro asked. Christi smiled.
"Yeah, I started practicing when I was 12, I just grabbed my uncle's guitar and fell in love. Took a while, but really played off." Christi happily explained.

"And you don't actually own one." Alejandro double checked.
"Yeah, can't afford one." Christi sighed,

"The mall has a store full of guitars." Alejandro mentioned.
"No, no." Christi panicked. Alejandro furrowed his eyebrows.
"I don't want you to buy me one. I don't want you to waste your money on me, we can look at some guitars, but you can't buy me one." Christi added begging. Alejandro rolled his eyes.

"Okay, fine. I won't buy you one." Alejandro held his left arm up. Alejandro lied, he wasn't gonna buy one today, but he knew he wanted to buy her one at some point. He knew she needed one, he knew she deserved one.

"Good." Christi smiled. Silence filled the car for awhile.

"I wanna hear the kind of music you listen to." Alejandro handed Christi the aux.
"If you say so." Christi nervously said. All her music was bought when she was younger. A lot of the songs were about love, and there was a rare amount of songs where it had a rap or it cussed a lot. Christi doubted that Alejandro knew any of the songs she bought. She shuffled played her music, Alejandro read the song's info on the car.

"8 Letters by Why Don't We?" Alejandro the looked up at Christi.
"Yeah, it's a good song." Christi smiled. The song started and music escaped from the speakers. Christi started to sing.

"You know me the best, you know me worst, see me hurt, but you don't judge." Christi sang. Alejandro listened to every word she sang.

"I've said those words before, but it was a lie! And you deserve to hear them, a thousand times!!" Christi's eyes lit up throughout the whole song. Alejandro just watched the girl sing. Taking in every word.

"Why do I pull, you close, and then ask you for space! If all it is, is 8 letters, why is it so hard to say?!" Christi sang, a tear leaving her eye.

"Are you okay?" Alejandro asked as he stopped at a red light. He looked at Christi.
"It's a beautiful song, why wouldn't I cry." Christi explained.

"What's it about?" Alejandro decided to ask. So he could understand the meaning.

"Well, The 8 Letters is 'I love you' and how it is so hard to tell the person we like those three words. It explains their point of view of the relationship and how they feel about it basically." Christi explained. Alejandro thought about it. He listened to the rest of the lyrics of the song. He related to the song as well, against Christi.

"Makes sense." Alejandro smiled. They got to the mall and Mattia called the two.

"Yo bro, we're parking in or out?" Mattia asked.
"Inside, it's hot out today." Alejandro explained. They then headed to the mall's basement parking. They found a two spots near each other and decided to park in those two spots. Mattia ended the callX and everyone climbed out and remembered how hot basement parking were.
