Santos Queen

Half and half

Jayde's POV

"Eighty-six the chitchat and focus." Ruby says as I walk in the front door of his house

"You're late." He states as I plop down on the couch next to Monse

"This is gonna be our best shut-in ever. But we have to follow protocol." Ruby says

"Dude, we know the drill." Monse says

"This year's different. It's not about our survival. It's about Olivia there was magic in our first dance." Ruby says

"Have you guys ever been to Brentwood?" Jamal asks

"My parents are out so I set up touch control LED lighting." Ruby says as he picks up a remote

"Bodello red. And Nightmare on Elm Street is gonna get Olivia a little scared and a little lappy." Ruby says as he plops down on the love seat and pats his lap

"You know that's creepy, right?" Monse asks

"One step ahead of you." Ruby says

"Little cover in case of wood." He adds as he picks up a blanket that's beside him

"Speaking of wood. Brentwood sounds kind of fun." Jamal says

"Where's Cesar sitting?" Monse asks

"In Oscar's Impala." Ruby states

"He's not coming? Why? It's tradition." Monse says

"Who cares? I have the perfect one to one P/V ratio." Ruby states

"P/V ratio?" Monse asks

"Olivia and me. Jayde and the snacks that she always hogs. And Jamal and you." He explains

"Never ever put my V with Jamal's P." Monse says as I stand up from the couch

"Duly noted." Ruby says as I head towards the door

"Where are you going?" Ruby asks

"Home." I huff

"What the hell is your problem?" Ruby asks

"What's my problem?" I ask as I turn around to face them

"My problem is no one seems to give a shit that this could be our last Halloween together. You are all about Olivia, Monse, you're wondering where Cesar is and comparing your V to his P blah blah, And Jamal wants to go to Brentwood, and my best friend isn't even coming." I say

"I don't know where I'm gonna go to school next year but I do know that it is a very huge possibility that it isn't gonna be anywhere near Freeridge. If I'm lucky I could get into one that's fourteen hours away and that's if I'm lucky. But it doesn't matter right? Might as well leave right now." I all but yell as I storm out of the house and down the street

*5 Minutes Later*

I step off of the sidewalk and cross the street

"Ya fuckin potato." A familiar voice calls from behind but I walk into my front yard

"Go home, Ruby." I say as I walk up my porch steps and into my house before plopping down on my couch

Ruby, Cesar, Monse, Olivia, And Jamal walk in the front door

"We are taking this seriously." Monse says

"Which is why we're going to Brentwood." Jamal says
