My Bestfriend's Father (Spooky)

Chapter 1

Hermione

I'm just finishing my class work. Cortez was sitting beside me tapping his pencil on his bio textbook waiting for me. As soon as I turned in my paper to the teacher and sat down it was like he exploded. "My dad said you could come spend the night, do you want to?" He asked whisper-yelling at me. I was caught off guard by this. I have never been to his house, as a matter of fact I've never even met his family. It's strange because we're been best friends since we were in fifth grade. And he's never said anything about his mother to me besides she left him and his dad when he was born. He's only ever said a few things about his dad but not much.

"Sure. I'll ask my abuelita at lunch." He nodded smiling at me. We played paper football and quarters. (quarters is not what your thinking. It's where you put your fist flat on the table and slid a quarter across the table as hard as you can hitting each other's knuckles with it. Which ever bleeds first looses.) As soon as class was over we ran to the lunch room. Once we had our food we took off to our usual seats. I called my abuelita. She was happy to let me go as long as I promised to call if there was a problem. "So what did she say?" Cortez was tapping his foot waiting on me. "She said yes." He jerked his phone out of his pocket and furiously tapped on the screen.

After school ended Cortez met me at my locker. "Okay so I have to go get some clothes and drop off my backpack but as soon as I get my stuff together I'll be on my way. Just make sure you send me your addie." He nodded his head before running off down the hall. As soon as I got home I ran to my room and grabbed my clothes for tonight and tomorrow. Once my bag was packed I ran back to the kitchen with my abuelita. "I'm leaving as soon as Cortez sends me his address Abuelita." She nodded at me with a smile. My phone dinged letting me know I had a message. Looking down it was the message I was happy to get. I kissed my Abuelita's head before running out the door and down the street.

As soon as I found the house, Cortez was standing outside and a bunch of men were outside too. Cortez waved me over and I walked to him. "So this is my Tio Tito. Tio this is my best friend Hermione." Cortez introduced me to a tall, skinny man with tattoos, a faded hair cut, and facial hair. He was kinda cute. "Sup." He nodded his head as I spoke. "Come on." Cortez said as he pulled me towards his front door. As soon as we got in the house he took me to his room so I could drop my bag there.

We sat on his bed talking about school. "So I forgot to tell you but I'm on the football team now." I was happy he told me. I couldn't wait to tell him my big news. "Well that's great because that means I get to cheer you on. I made it on the cheer squad." He smiled at me happily. That meant we could ride on the bus to away games together and hang out after. We heard the front door open then slam closed causing me to jump a little. "Cortez is your friend here yet?" I heard a male's voice from the living room. "Come on you gotta meet my dad." As I got up off the bed I tried my hardest to fix my hair and my top so I didn't look like a slob. It didn't help that I was wearing a pair of baggy sweatpants and a tank top.

Walking through the hallway I felt nervous. My insides were jumping all around and my heart was pounding. This was the first time I'd be meeting my best friends father. "Dad this is Hermione. Hermione this is my dad." As I looked up my hazel eyes were met with big beautiful brown eyes. He was gorgeous as hell. "H-hi nice to meet you Mr. Díaz." I smiled at him. On the inside I was cursing myself for stuttering in front of him. "It's nice to meet you Hermione." He didn't smile at me but that's okay. "Dad we're gonna go back to my room." Mr. Díaz nodded. "Thank you for letting me stay Mr. Díaz." He actually smiled at me this time.

Dios mío his smile is so breath taking. I can see why Cortez kept his dad a secret for so long. As soon as we got to the room we talked and laughed half the night away. Soon enough we both passed out.

The next day I chilled with Cortez til my Abuelita called letting me know I needed to come home. "I'll see you at school Tez." I spoke walking out of his room. He smiled waving bye to me. As I walked out the front door Mr. Díaz was sitting on the porch smoking a cigarette talking to Cortez's Tio. "Thank you for letting me stay Mr. Díaz." He looked up at me as I spoke. "Your always welcome to come back." I smiled with happiness. I'm so glad he didn't think I was a slob. "Thank you." He nodded at me. I walked home with a smile on my face.

As soon as I got home Abuelita asked me all about it. "It was fun. Mr. Díaz said I was welcome to come back anytime." Abuelita smiled at me. "I'm glad you had fun kiddo. Now go get ready for bed. You have a big day of cleaning tomorrow." I nodded as I walked to the laundry room washing a load of clothes before going to my room. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out.
