"Heidi!" Keanu said, catching up to the raven haired girl. It was dismissal time and Rosalia had been ignoring him all day, it was killing me. She ignored him, which made him more angry. "Heidi", he called again with frustration in his voice, still she walked away.

"Rosalia!" He yelled out, making her stop her tracks. Him saying her real name was a weakness, a goddamn weakness. She slowly turned to Keanu and shrugged her shoulders making him look at her in confusion and made his way towards her.

"What?" She said in a monotone voice, hiding in her true emotions. "Johnny? Really?" Keanu said, making her suck her teeth. "Keanu, I don't want to waste my time" Rosalia confidently said. "Rosalia, how do you know how Anna feels about it?" He said making Rosalia sigh. "I never thought about that, she must feel betrayed" Rosalia said, looking back only to make Keanu turn her back towards him.

"Look at me, you don't want this" Keanu said to her. "How do you know that" Rosalia said, almost breaking down. He sighed only making her nod. "You don't know, they always don't know" Rosalia said, walking away from him. "Rosalia! Stop!" Keanu yelled, but even her real name couldn't stop her.

She searched for Anna, maybe even Corey. She broke her promise, she promised she wouldn't leave but she did. She was conflicted and confused, but was suddenly broken out her thoughts when she bumped into River.

"River, I'm sorry, I've been all over the place" Rosalia said, wiping some of her tears. "I can see that" River said to his friend, as he brushed down her hair with his fingers.

"Looking for Anna?" He askes, making Rosalia look up and nod. "If this is about Johnny, I assure you she doesn't care" River said. "She isn't, then why did Keanu try and make me feel bad over there?" Rosalia said making River give a confused look.

"Rosie, ever since you started seeing Johnmy, Keanu has been acting weird." River said. "I don't know why he would" Rosalia lied, she knew why he was acting like a prick. "He probably likes you, he's a good friend for not acting on it, you know, for Corey's sake." River says obliviously making Rosalia give off a nervous nod.

"He's with Piper though, he probably doesn't even have a crush, maybe he just wants to protect and look out for me, like a older brother" Rosalia suggests making River give a nod of approval. "I like your story better" He says, pinching her cheeks and putting his arm around her. "C'mon, I'll walk you home" River suggests, making Rosalia smile really hard, and this time genuinely.

Piper Clark and Deesha Clark sat at their bay window looking at the rainfall. "Piper, why have you been looking so melancholy lately?" Deesha asks. Piper just sighed and shrugged her shoulders. "You got what you wanted" Deesha says making Piper roll her eyes. "Yet whenever we bring up Rosalia's name or Johnny, he has this mini elipsey spell." Piper says. "Maybe he really cares for her duh, but you're his girlfriend!" Deesha said. "Girlfriends aren't meant to feel like the second option" Piper said, making Deesha silent until someone knocked at the door. "Come in" Piper said, and then Corey came in.

"Corey!" Deesha said, running up to hug him. "Hi my favorite Clark!" Corey said, hugging and spinning her around. "Hey! I thought I was your favorite!" Piper said. "Eh, I'd be lowering my standards" Corey said, making Piper laugh and start hitting him.

Once that was all over, they all sat at the bay window to listen about life, parents, and school. "6th grade is so difficult" Deesha complained making Corey snicker. "Enjoy it while it lasts kiddo" Piper said. "At least I still enjoy childhood! While you have to worry about BILLS BILLS BILLS, now if you excuse me, I have Algebra to do" Deesha said leaving Corey and Piper alone.

"That Deesha, she is something else!" Corey said making Piper laugh. "Corey, I need your honest opinion" Piper said making Corey nod his head. "Did you ever expect Keanu and I to date?" Piper asked. "No, I'm just being honest. I always knew you liked him though, I nevet thought it was going to be acted upon." Corey said, making Piper nod and look down. "Why did you ask?" Corey said, gaining her attention. "I'm not sure" Piper said.

"I'm a little confused about growing up right now" Piper said smiling. "Aren't well all? But I feel like thats normal" Corey said. "Yeah, I just want to be happy" Piper said, clapping her hands. "Don't worry, you will be, and you deserve to be" Corey said. "How did we ever hate each other?" Piper asked laughing. "To be quite honest I never hated you, you were fucking annoying, but you still were my friend, I could never hate you" Corey said, making the girl smile.

When 3/4 of the Lopez family went to sleep at night, Anna Lopez went lurking around. Things at home had been quiet lately, dinners were just about the food, not conversation. There was never a, "hey how was your day" anymore, it was replaced with, "could you pass me the salt mija/mijo"

Anna's attention was caught by one letter on her father's desk in bold red letters. That word struck and froze her, she was paralysed. Why would this happen to us?

The Lopez family were bankrupt

Right under that letter was a list of school, not in Miami or in Florida. Hell not even in America.
