Mariela's POV

"What happened after you got home last night? " Ani asks me. I yawn and open my locker.
"She basically beat the crap out of us because we were supposed to be home at 1. But of course we were there until like 3 and she didn't tell me and Dani that she told javi. That's why she beat him with the belt and me and Dani only got the chancla. "Dean laughs and I glare at him.
" Don't forget about dance. '
"I know. I fucking hate that song though. It's annoying. But we're ready. Right Mari? " Ani says. I nod.
"Yea. I just don't get it. Out of all the songs in the world she picked Rockstar." Dean says. I nod. I'm so tired I don't have the energy to talk.
"Look at her. She's practically a zombie. "
"Cállate pendeja. " I mumble.
"You better not fall asleep while we dance. We work so hard on that choreography. " I nod. I shut my locker.
"I'm gonna sleep through first period. And second. And probably third. Then we can practice during lunch. " I say. My mom was right this morning. I am so tired.

Camden's POV

"Dude stop stareing. " Micah nudges my arm. I look away from her. I've been starring at Mariela all day. She's been sleeping in every class. I don't understand how she doesn't get caught. Every time I try to sleep in class I get yelled at. Last night was way different than I thought. It was chill. Then she started singing. God her voice. I recorded her. I'm tempted to turn it into my ringtone. Damn I'm such a creep.
"He seen how the cholas kick back. She's a chola. Probably the least problematic chola and she doesn't cause trouble like the rest. She's the opposite of her sister. Her sister is a stripper and she's always getting into trouble. I guess that's why they're so close. "
"What are cholas.? " Micah asks.
"The cholas are the Latina Street gang. Her brother is a cholo.the guy chapter of the Latino Street gamg. I honestly don't know why she hangs with them let alone apart of them. She's sweet. " Veronica says looking over her shoulder at Mariela and her friends.
"Hi baby! " I hear someone screech. It sounds like nails on a chalkboard. Marley comes and tries to sit on my lap but I push her off.
"Stop Marley. " I say. She straightens her clothes which look like they belong to a infant.
"Why? Camden you haven't called me in a week. " She says putting her hands on her nonexistent hips.
"So." I say.
"I miss you baby. " He runs her hand down my chest. I take it and put it at her side.
"I'm not your 'baby' Marley. Go find someone else to annoy. " She huffs and stomps off.
"Damn that girl is so annoying. " Micah says. I nod.
"Look and now she's over there on Jake's lap. I feel bad for him. " Veronica says.
"Yea.atleast she won't be bothering me. " I say.
"You should skip lstt period. Come to dance class with us. "Micah says.
" Why what's going on? "I ask. Micah and Veronica take dance while I take music. In that class you either sing or play a instrument. I play the guitar and the piano. No one knows though. I mostly skipped that class. Even freshman year.
" We're dancing to Rockstar. We have been working on the choreography all week. And Marielas in that class. "Roni sing songs. I smirk.
" I'll meet you then. "

Mariela's POV

The bell rings and everyone in the dance studio runs into the locker rooms. Me and ani change back into our clothes. I grab every price of clothing in my locker and shove it into my duffle bag. I close and lock my locker then wait for ani to finish changing. I check my messages. I have several text from Jamal. I ignore them and text my sister.
"Come on. " I grab my bag and follow her. I giggle a little.
"What's so funny? " Ani asks and pushes open the door. We walk into the hallway and towards the stairs.
"My sister. She said that mom asked if she was on drugs today. I said is she really surprised by that question and she said not really no. " I chuckle.
"Seriously. Sometimes I wonder if she was dropped on her head. " She says. I laugh.
"I meet you at your locker. " Ani says. I nod and go in the direction of mine. I reach my locker and put in the combination. I set my duffle. On the floor then grab everything I need and shove them into my book bag.
"Hey baby. "I feel hands snake around my waist and soft kisses along my neck. I almost lean into him but I catch myself.
" Stop. "I push him away from me.
" Come on. You know you want me back. How long is it gonna take for you to realize that. "He says leaning against the locker next to mine and folding his arms across his chest.
" Jamal, go find the next puta to disappoint. "I shut my locker, sling my book bag over my shoulder and pick up my duffle bag.
" I'm busy. "I walk away from him. I see Dean leaning against the wall I walk over to him and throw my arms around his waist. He wraps his left arm around my waist while scrolling on his phone with his right hand.
" What's wrong.? "He asks. I lean my head on his chest and sigh.
" Jamal. He just won't leave me alone. "I mutter.
" Want me to rip off his balls? "I snort.
"Nah. He just needs to go fuck another puta and he'll forget about me. Like always. " I sigh again.
"Hey I'm all for hugs and sappy moments but I kinda wanna go home. " I hear Ani say behind me. I laughs and pull away. We walk out to Deans car and head home. He stops outside my house. I run inside drop my bags in my room then quickly change into my uniform. (⬆) I run back out to the car with my cross body purse. I throw my phone in it as Dean takes off for the diner. He pulls up to the front in 5 mi Utes and I get out.
"Thanks. Dani will pick me up later. I'm going to the club with her. Live y'all. " I say and run into the diner.
"Hey honey. "Carrie, my coworker says as I go through the door.
" Hey Carrie. "I go through the swinging doors through the kitchen and into the staff room. I open my locker and hang my purse. I grab my order pad pen and name tag. I clip on my name tag and slide my order pad and pen into my pocket. I go out to the front and clock in.
'Maria says hi. She was in this morning. Charles too. "Maria and Charles Evans own the diner. They're a very sweet and very much still in love couple. They have been married for 32 years.
" Awe. How are they? "I ask leaning against the counter.
" They're good. They're getting another dog. They want Rover to have kids. "We laugh. The door opens and a group of people come in. Time to get to work.
