Chapter Fifteen: The gods of the game will come in human form and castrate you

"Don't you mean 'Hola Cereza'?"

"I prefer Cherry in English. Sounds better."

I rolled my eyes. "What are you doing here?"

"Isn't it obvious? I'm in this class."

"I meant what are you doing beside me?"

"Señor Rivers. Señora Brooks. ¿Te importaría sacar tu conversación de mi clase?" Señora Santiago reprimanded.

Do you mind taking your conversation out of my class?

I said "Lo siento señora" at the same time Zane said "No me importa".

Sorry Mrs. He said "I don't mind."

I gave him an 'Are you insane?' look and he just shrugged.

"Bueno, supongo que será mejor que lo lleves afuera. Con tus pertenencias."

Well, I guess you better take it outside. With your belongings.

I pleaded. "Pero señora."

But Mrs.

"Fuera. Ahora."

Out. Now.

We grabbed our stuff and left the class.

I rested my forehead against a locker. "You got me kicked out of class."

"It takes two to tango."

"What?"

He didn't reply. I started banging my head against the lockers.

He grabbed my shoulders and turned me around to face him. "Relax, Cherry. Look on the bright side." 

"There is no bright side!"

"There is. Now we have the rest of last period free."

"No."

"No to what?"

"Skipping school."

"It wouldn't be the first time." He joked.

"Maybe for you it won't."

"If you haven't realized, we're out of class already. It's not like we can go back in. And unless, you want to roam the halls for the next 40 minutes, I know a very fun place to go."

"It's the park, isn't it?"

"Maybe."

He grabbed my hand and started dragging me out.

"How's Wren's leg?"

"Wren's leg? What happened to..... ohhh!" He finally realized.

"I said my friend. Wren's not my only friend you know."

I nodded slowly. "Uh huh." 

He rolled his eyes. "I'm serious."

"I never said you weren't."

"You're fluent in Spanish?"

I nodded. "Started learning since I was three. What about you?"

"About quite a little younger than that."

I gave him a shocked look.

He shrugged. "Before I came here, I was homeschooled with- I mean for the first four years of my life, I lived in Argentina. So I was learning it along with English. My dad spoke only English, but my mum spoke both. She isn't from there but she started living there at a young age. My dad was there on a business trip. Badaboom Badabam, love sparks and me!"
