Following her cheer meet, Izzy waited for Cesar outside his class. Occasionally checking her phone and examining her lavender nails, til the bell rang.

" Being a Santo is some serious shit, Diaz ", she started, following Cesar after he walked out.
" Just stop, Iz- ",
" No! You don't get what kinda path you're going down right now ".
" Don't I? ", he scoffed, stopping to stand in front of her.

" Iz c'mon ", he said, " Look, when Oscar was inside, I had a breathe of fresh air. I thought I could just get through high school by just being afflicted and then disappear after graduation. But now he's out and it is as it is ".

" Cesar please- ", Izzy tried to plead.
" There are plenty of people out there, who just go through life with nothing happening to them ".

" But you don't have to be one of those people. You can get out. You can still disappear- ",
" And go where? ", he snapped, " Mm? Do what? ".

She stared up at him, eyes filled with nothing but concern.
" I'm sorry, alright I didn't mean to rev up the pressure ".

" I know ", he said, " I appreciate it...But you know there is something you can do to de rev the pressure? ".
" Anything ", her fingers gliding up and down his arm.
" Meet me after school ", he said, " Your room. Clothing's optional ". A mischievous smile spread across his face, as she rolled her eyes.
" You're ridiculas ".

" Yo ", Jasmine inserted, " I'm all about this 'clothing optional'. How about we take this twosome and make it a threesome and we can get some ". Her arms were wrapped around their shoulders, making one teen scoff and the other chuckle. Izzy thanked God when her phone went off.
" Jasmine's in demand. I'll catch you guys later, byee ".

With a look of pure annoyance, Izzy spun on her heal.
" I thought we weren't gonna talk about us ", she scowled, " That it would give me even more of a rep? That it would make Gina even more pissed than she already is? ".
" Jesus, Iz. When isn't Gina pissed? ".
" Not the point ".

Walking down the hallway, Izzy had to let one thought that was bugging her slip when she had the opportunity.
" You know it's never gonna happen ".

With a scoff, he responded " yeah right ".
" For real, Diaz ", she spoke, refusing to look at him.
" Oh yeah? Then how come whenever we're together, you can't keep your hands away me ".

Izzy stopped so abruptly, Cesar nearly crashed into her. " I think you have the roles mixed up here, honey ", she said with a mocking smile.

Grinning down at her, Cesar just couldn't help himself.
" You know when we do- ",
" If we do- ",
" When we do ", he corrected, much to her annoyance, " You're gonna love it...and you won't be able to stay away from me after it ".
" As if ", she huffed.
" Oh sorry ", he played with a lock of her short black curls, " yeah you're already not able to stay away ".
