Apart from our small group of friends, Cesar was my best friend and I was his. I would go daily to his house to hang and today was one of those days.

I walked towards his house when someone whistles.

I wince and notice it was Oscar outside with the rest of the Santos.

"Hey, Oscar," I said rolling my eyes.

"Damn mami why the attitude?" asked Oscar smirking.

"Cause I ain't feeling it today. Plus, I don't like you."

Bunch of Santos smirked and some laughed.

"Y por qué (And why)?" asked Oscar

I shrugged and walked inside, going into Cesar's room.

Cesar laid on his bed already doing homework.

"You need to control that brother of yours."

"What he do now?" asked Cesar looking up.

"He's calling me mami in front of his friends...Even though I enjoy it- don't tell him- it's annoying."

"Aha! You do like it," said Cesar smirking

"So? He's way too old for me."

"Who cares you have two more years until you're eighteen." said Cesar, "Now let's start on our assignment."

Hours pass and I notice it's dark outside.

"Shit! My mom's going to get mad!"

I quickly pick up my books and put them into my backpack.

"Why? You're with me she knows nothing will happen," responded Cesar

"Because it's dark. She freaks out and says someone is going to rape me."

He laughs," Ask Oscar to give you a ride."

"Nah I'm good. Five minutes isn't long anyway." I said, "love you! Bye."

I kissed him on the cheek and walked out.

"You're still here?" asked Oscar

I jumped and turned around, "Oscar what the hell?! Don't scare me."

Oscar laughed, "A'ight. But let me take you."

He grabbed his keys and grabbed my hand.

We finally arrived at my house and we just sat in silence.

"I uh have to go in now, Thank you."

"Wait (y/n). Did you really mean that?" asked Oscar

"What? I don't know what you're saying."

"You said you didn't like me. Nah just forget it," said Oscar changing the subject.

I felt bad and my cheeks turned red, "Oscar I didn't mean it. I really like you but I'm not eighteen yet."

Oscar nodded and placed his hand on my thigh, "Good night. Call me tomorrow."

I opened the car door and headed inside...
