•Valeria's POV•

I got through school slowly but I got through it. I came straight home and Jose came with me.

"So when is the whole family from the bay coming", Jose asks.

"Actually I don't know but some day this week", I say.

Everybody from my family is coming for my cousins quince, it's going to be a huge party and a huge reunion.

"you ready?", he asks.

"No I don't want to share my room, you know how full the house will be", I say and he laughs.

"Sucks for you", he says.

"Play music", he says.

I connected my phone to my beats pill and put shuffle, "marijuana" by kid cus I started playing.

"So Chris told me about you big amazing outfit", he says.

"Big amazing my ass it is so uncomfortable", I say.

"Beauty is pain", he says and I frown then he gets a text message.

"Ooo it's a 411 from my mom, apparently the gold fishes have no food, I gotta go get it", he gets up and walk out of my room.

I stay in my room and start doing my homework. I got hungry so existe to go get a snack from the kitchen.  When I start walking down the stairs I hear Luis talking to someone, it's probably one of his friends. When I get down I go straight to the kitchen.

"It's your turn to take out the teach Luis", I say and get a cliff bar.

"Ok I'll take it out in a bit", he says.

"Just make sure it's today", I turn to him and see him and jack are playing video game on the couch. It seems they had it in paid and both of them were looking at me.

"Just throw out the trash", I start walking.

"Wait Valeria", jack jumps off the couch and runs in front of me.

"No", I say I try to keep walking but he blocks me.

"Valeria we need to talk", he says.

"Do we really", I push his hand so I can pass.

"Yes we do", he keeps following me.

"Their is nothing to talk about can't you get that", i say.

"Valeria yes their is", he grabs my shoulder and turns me when we both got up the stairs.

"You are thinking something that's not true, you know that", he puts and strand of my hair behind my ear.

"No jack I just finished our short relationship that wasn't going to last, I know it and you do too", I say and walk into my room and close my door then put my back on it and slide down.

"But Valeria you can't deny it, we both felt it", he says and I just put my head in my knees and cry for a bit.

"Que hice?", I say "what did I do", in Spanish.

***

Last night I also cried myself to sleep but this morning I did my normal routine but out of a bit of makeup. We got to school and I sat in the same spot as yesterday.

"Hey Jose can I barrow a pencil?", I ask him.

"Don't have one", he says.

"Ugh, Chris?", I look at her and she looks at Daniel and they both shake their head no. I look and see jack just looks at me smiling.

I check Jose's front backpack pocket and found an old pen.

"Thanks Jose", I say and start taking notes.

For lunch I go off grounds with Jose, we went to Taco Bell, I will admit I'm trying ignore jack as much as possible. Why is it so hard. I obviously told Chris and Jose what happened yesterday and they just kinda hugged me through it.

"I was reading last night", he says.

"What Jose reads!", I joke.

"Yes I finished a walk to remember and I cried", he says and I laugh.

"It's ok we can watch the movie later and cry some more", I say.

"Ooo no baby to many tears have fallen out of those eyes we are watching magic mike", he says and I laugh.

Once school was over I went to talk to my teacher about my grade, it's a C I can't let that happen. Once I was done talking to the teacher the school was pretty empty a couple people here and there. I told Jose and Chris to leave without me, I kinda felt like walking.

"Valeria", I hear and see Jack.

"No", I keep walking.

"I didn't say anything", he says.

"Still the answer is no", I say.

"Come one I just want to talk to you", he says.

"I said no", I say.

"Well that's not an option", he says.

"Sure it is it's always and option", I say then walk out of school.

"But not for me", he says.

I stop and look forward and see it one of the closest family friend from back to my home city.

"Axel!", I run to him and give him a bear hug.

"There is the Valeria I know and love", he says.

"Sure is", I say.

"You here for the party", I ask.

"Yes your godparents brought me", he says.

"Does this mean I don't have to walk home?", I ask.

"Sure does", he says and opens the door for me.

We drive off and I just see Jack through the rare view mirror. I have always had a crush on Axel he isn't that much older than me, well not double digits, he is Luis's age.

"So who was that guy", he asks and wiggles his eyebrows.

"No one just a classmate", I say.

"So how was your trip here", I ask.

"Long and annoying", he says and I laugh.

"I mean you got to see me that had to makeup for all of it", I say and he laughs.

"I don't know, I hate being in a car for to long", he says.

"But you love me", I say.

"Well that is true but...", he says.

"But nothing I'm worth all the time in the world", we both laugh
