"Now, when I first arrived to Arizona, I pictured your typical cactus with a plentiful of sand surrounding everything,but it's a little more than that. In fact , it's quite beautiful actually. I've started school here at McLean High. There's a variety of blacks,whites and Hispanics. I myself distance myself from race and consider myself just human, but if we're going to be detailed here, I'm a Latin-American boy. My mother is from Nicaragua, my father is from Puerto Rico. I'm 16 and living it indeed.5'7 with pretty decent tan skin.I'm quite a sight to see if I do say so myself, why ,who doesn't love some basic brown eyes and black hair? Fools is what I'd say.

I shiver. I swallow loudly and drop my gaze to my lap, my hands shaking slightly. What does prepossessing even mean? "Am I making you uncomfortable?" He murmurs. "U-um no." I shale my head slowly. He stands up abruptly, causing me to look at him. His body towers over me, his eyes searching my face for something that I'm not quite sure of, and then he holds out his right hand. "Will you dance with me?" ______ Casey Baines has had a difficult life, but unfortunately it's a life that fifty percent of American's endure.
