Chapter five

Today I was wondering what could possibly happen. I mean anything could, this was Freeridge. "No!" I heard Cesar shout and I went to his room.

"Are you okay?" I asked him and he looked at me.

"I'm good. It was nothing." He said to me and I nodded before going to school. I saw Jasmine there and went over to her.

"You and Jamal, spill now." She said to me, I couldn't trust anyone in the group with that information. Outsiders only.

"It's hard to tell what we are. We've kissed and we've spent a lot of time together but maybe it isn't enough." I said to her and she looked at me.

"We're hanging out tonight. I going to gather up Olivia as well and we're gonna talk about this." She said before walking away. Now I'd been suckered into this and as I walked the halls I saw Jamal.

"We need to talk." I said to him and pulled him into a classroom. An empty one at that.

"What is it?" He asked me all panicked, he knew something and wasn't saying it.

"I want us to take things to the next level. Only if your okay with that." I said to him and he smiled at me.

"Oh, that. Of course I'm ready." He said to me and he scratched the back of his neck.

"What do you know?" I asked him and he looked at the door.

"I've gotta go but I'll see you later." He said to me and he walked away. Great, not even a minute into my relationship and my boyfriend is already lying to me. We were all hanging out in Olivia's room. Monse was here.

"I didn't say you could do that." Olivia said to Jasmine who'd just put deodorant on herself. She then rummaged through Olivia's wardrobe.

"Oh. Yes! Yo, what size are you?" Jasmine asked as she found a pair of Olivia's underwear.

"Oh, honey, no." Olivia said while shaking her head at her.

"Well, excuses me for touching the cherished chonies." Jasmine said while shaking them around.

'I think it's pretty normal for people to not want you to touch their underwear." Monse said to her and I was in agreement.

"Yeah, it's pretty weird." I said to Jasmine and she looked at us all.

"Well, not if you're besties. Monse, I though this bitch was really gonna cramp our style, but Jasmonsoliy/n has a really nice ring to it, doesn't it?" She asked us and we all looked at each other. It was a bit of a mouthful.

"I take no responsibility for this. You were properly warned weeks ago." Monse said to us all and we all looked at her. Jasmine was that bad really.

"Everyone deserves a second chance." Olivia said to us both.

"Mira, Mira!" Jasmine said while wheezing. She managed to get one of Olivia's dresses on. She breathed from her inhaler quickly. "Yes, right? It's good, right?" She asked us and we all looked wide eyed. How?

"Yas, kween. Your body, your choice." Olivia said not really knowing what else to say.

"I think it might be a little tight." Monse said and Olivia hit her.

"It looks so good on you." I said to her with a smile.

"Monse, you are the last person who should be giving out fashion advice. I mean, look at you...in that doo-doo outfit. Girl, why you trying to be comfortable all the time? Sometimes it's okay to leave your dignity at home." She said to Monse before looking at herself in the mirror. "Pop them titties. Pop them titties. Pop, pop, pop them titties. So, Olivia, how's living with Ruby? He take a lot of showers?" She asked Olivia. That was getting straight to the point.

"Follow my lead. Oh, yeah, Ruby loves to get sudsy." Olivia said while leaning in quickly.

"Nice. Because you got to get clean because you get dirty. Mmm. So, tell me does he ever loofah your choofa? Or teeter-totter your tatas? Huh?" She asked Olivia and I was getting a bit disturbed now.

"No. But let's just say a shower cap isn't only for the hair on top, if you know what I mean." Olivia said and for some reason I tried imagining it on other places and I was disgusted.

"Ugh, I can't wait to show him my shower curtains. What else does he like?" Jasmine asked us, I didn't even want to know if shower curtains was a metaphor.

"You've been asking a lot of questions about Ruby. It almost seems like you're more interested in gathering intel on him than hanging out with us." Olivia said to her as we all stood in front of the mirror.

"No. I mean- -we'll, I mean, I am interested in Ruby, but- -" Jasmine said admitting it to us.

"So, you admit it. He's the only reason why you're here." Monse said to her.

"You can tell us. It's not like we don't know." I said to her with a smile.

"No! I like you guys too. Sometimes. Yeah." She said to us, wow feeling a bit hurt here.

"Olivia, Y/n, wasn't it Jasmine's idea to hang out? And wasn't it Jasmine who suggested we come to you house, which happens to be where Ruby showers? Convenient. And hurtful." Monse said while being fake hurt.

"It honestly hurts knowing that's the reason." I said while acting like I was about to cry.

"I really don't like being used. I think it would just be better if you gave us our space." Olivia said to us all.

"Guys, I am not using you. Agh. But...I can see how bad this looks, so I'm gonna go." She said to us and we all looked at her.

"No, you don't need to leave. Just stand in the hall and reflect on your actions." Olivia said before taking her outside the room.

"Are you su- -I'll just- -" She said before we shut the door on her.

"You're good." Monse said to her with a smile.

"Way too good." I said to her in agreement.

"Don't touch a bitch's chonies." Olivia said to us and I smiled at her.

"I feel like my brain got dry humped." Monse said and Olivia put her hand on the handle.

"One sec." She said before opening the door and Jasmine fell into the room.

"Ah!" She said as she fell.

"That's 15 more minutes." Olivia said while looking at her.

"I deserve 20." Jasmine said and Olivia hummed while holding her hand out. Jasmine had Olivia's chonies. "I'm- -I'm sorry." She said and we shut her out again.

"I'm so scared for Ruby." Olivia said to us both.

"We've always been scared for Ruby." I said to her while thinking back to everything.

"Ruby would appreciate that. And a handy. No pressure, but if you ever find yourself with time on your hands- -" Monse said and I squirmed. Didn't even want to think about that.

"Ah...moving on." Olivia said and we sat on the bed.

"Okay, so if not Ruby, then who would you be into?" Monse asked her and she looked awkward.

"I don't know. What about you two?" She asked and I looked at them both.

"I couldn't possibly say." I said to them both. "What about you Monse?" I asked her trying to take the heat off me.

"No one." She said to us both.

"I don't believe you two." Olivia said and she looked at the two of us.

"Well, maybe there's one guy." Monse said and I looked at them, that would be my brother.

"And maybe there's a guy for me and we made it official." I said to them both. And they looked at me but didn't pry.

"This is L.A.P.D. This block is on lockdown. For your safety, remain inside until further advised." A cop car said with its lights and sirens went off. I couldn't believe this. But we were just staying in Olivia's room. It wasn't long until the power went out and it was completely dark.

"Okay, so you've been smashual with this dude since summer and now you want to go legit? Go legit. What's the worst that can happen?" Olivia asked, I didn't need to know what my brother had got up to in the summer.

"The guys could stop talking to me, and our dynamic could change. We've been super tight since fourth grade." Monse said to us and I looked at her.

"Exactly my reasoning as well, we're practically hidden." I said to them at least Monse and I could relate on that part.

"You're telling me none of them ever had a girlfriend? Cesar's never had a girlfriend?" Olivia asked and we shook our heads at the first question.

"Maybe once in sixth grade but since then...I don't know, he doesn't talk about that stuff with me." Monse said to us all.

"I've never seen any girls over the house." I said to them, only people that Spooky and other Santos brought over but that's it.

"What about Ruby? What if Ruby got a girlfriend?" Olivia asked and I would love for that to finally happen.

"Yes! God, yes. He'd probably unclench a little." Monse said to us, he would he'd be chill finally.

"Maybe that's what they say about you." Olivia said to us, this was going to take a turn.

"You implying I'm uptight?" Monse asked us both.

"She's not saying that at all." I said to Monse with a smile.

"No, but you just tend to overthink." Olivia said to her with a smile.

"'Cause I don't have anyone to talk this guy stuff out with! Well apart from Y/n. All our friends are dudes." Monse said, sometimes I wished we had some more female friends and not guys.

"And it's just you and your dad, right?" Olivia asked Monse.

"Yeah." Monse answered and Olivia looked at me.

"And it's just you and your brothers?" She asked while turning to me and I looked down.

"Yeah." I said to her.

"Where are your guys moms?" She asked us both and I looked away.

"I have no idea, don't even know where my dad is either." I said to her, it felt like I was orphaned.

"Don't know." Monse said to her. "She left when I was little. This is now becoming a sad-fest, so- -" Monse said to her, we didn't need therapy not today.

"I'm sorry." Olivia said to us, she didn't need to be.

"No, I'm sorry. It's just kind of complicated right now in the mom front, which probably explains why I haven't ever rolled easy with the girls." Monse said to us.

"And having an absent mom does that, rolling with girls get hard." I said to them and Monse nodded in agreement.

"What are you talking about? You're both totally a girl's girl." Olivia said to us as we're just having our talk.

"Okay, you're 5150, 'cause I'm pretty sure being a girl's girl means having girlfriends. I've never had a real girlfriend before over then Y/n." Monse said to us.

"Literally Monse is my only one. We have no other girlfriends really." I said to her and Olivia looked at the two of us.

"Until now. So, as your real girlfriend, I think you both need to stop worrying about what the guys will or won't say and don't be afraid to bring this mystery dude around and introduce him to the crew. Or do they already know them?" Olivia asked and Monse and I looked at each other.

"They don't!" We both shouted at the same time.

"But if they did, do you think that they'd care that I kept our stitch a secret for so long?" Monse asked I didn't even need to know about him.

"So, they do know him?" Olivia asked her.

"No! No, no. No. That's not what I meant. Okay, I'm done sitting on the hot seat. Your turn. You feeling anyone at school?" Monse asked Olivia and she let out a sigh. There was someone.

"I don't kiss and tell." She said to us and I looked at her.

"We'll, now you do. Who is it?" I asked her with a smile.

"You kissed someone?" Monse asked and we heard the door open, this only revealed Jamal.

"There's a lockdown outside." He said to us, he had an eyepatch today. God his fake injuries were deteriorating.

"We know. We can hear." Monse said to him and he started to shut the door again.

"Okay. Cool." He said before closing the door. It then opened again. "And also, if you're hungry, there aren't any snacks." He said to us all.

"Got it." We said to him and the door shut and then it opened again.

"And also, you may want to fill up on liquids since there's no food, but Oscar's taken over the bathroom and I don't think he's coming out anytime soon so you may want to dehydrate yourselves." Olivia asked, at least I knew my brother was safe. Well one of them.

"Why is your and Cesar's brother here?" Olivia asked and I looked at her.

"I don't know." I said to her.

"Olivia, Cesar. I don't know anything about Cesar, Olivia. Is it crazy hit in here?" Jamal asked while rushing to the fan.

"Yeah, we're in the middle of a heat wave. Jamal, go get some ice." Monse said to him before turning to Olivia. "So, who'd you kiss?" She asked her.

"You can tell us." I said with a smile.

"Hey! Let's play a game." Jamal shouted and we went into the main room. Where all the games were out.

"You can't turn the A/C up that high. You're gonna blow the power." Ruby said to Jamal who was playing with the heating.

"I need to regulate my body temperature." Jamal said as he was trying to cool down.

"I have to pee so bad. And I'm sprouting major turtle-head. Will someone tell Oscar to get out of the bathroom? Y/n, he's your brother you tell him." Jasmine said I wasn't doing it, you never tell Oscar to hurry up.

"Go ahead." Jamal said to Jasmine.

"I'll hold it." She said to us, that's good.

"What kind of games you wanna play? You guys feeling words, pictures, cards?" Ruby said to us and there was no way I was playing any kind of word or picture games.

'How about a game that reveals your innermost feelings and secrets?" Olivia asked and I started to get worried.

"Or...KerPlunk?" Jamal suggested, never going to happen.

"How about Smash, Marry, Kill?" Olivia asked and just like that the power went out.

"Jama!" We all shouted and Jasmine sighed.

"I think that was sign that we shouldn't play this game." Jamal said to us all, or it was sign to play.

"Can I talk to you in the kitchen?" Ruby asked while turning his phone light on.

"No, thanks." Jamal said to him.

"Jamal, if you come to the kitchen, I'll show you where the snacks are." Ruby said loudly, there was no snacks.

"Coming." Jamal said as they went into the kitchen. Who knew what they were talking about. Once they both returned we started playing the game.

"Go, Ruby! We don't have all day." Monse said to him as we all sat around the table.

"Actually, we do. We're locked in." Jasmine said to us and I looked at her.

"Stop being a smartass." I said to her before looking at Ruby.

"I'm a gentleman, I make love. I don't smash." Ruby said to us with a smirk. What was he thinking about. Actually I don't want to know.

"We'll then you're not doing it right, 'cause if you a girl to bow, then you got to plow. Right, Olivia?" Jasmine asked before laughing.

"Anyways, Make love, Marry, Kill." Olivia said to all of us, could we just play already.

"Maybe we should ixnay the urdermay. We don't wanna poke the bear in the bathroom." Jamal said to us all, who cares about my brother.

"No more rewrites, Jamal. I'll go first. I'd kill Jasmine." Monse said while looking at Jasmine.

"I deserve that." Jasmine said to her.

"I'd make love to Ruby." She said while looking at him.

"That's really considerate, just as I would be as a lover." Ruby said to her.

"And then I'd marry Jamal." She said while smiling at him.

"Seriously? Why not make love to me and marry Ruby?" Jamal said and he kept giving glances to me.

"We're married. We're having sex." Monse said while leaning across the table.

"What about the marital death bed?" Jamal asked her.

"Fine. I'm changing my answer. I'd make love to Jamal and marry Ruby. Happy?" Monse asked them both.

"I am. Because even though we're married, we're having sex, and a lot of it. She made me get clipped." Ruby said and we heard Oscar laugh. I didn't even hear him walk here. We all looked at him.

"Uh...you want to play?" Jamal said and he looked at us all.

"Okay. I'd kill you. I'd kill you. I'd smash you. Your my sister so I'd kill you. I'd smash you. Fine. I'd smash you too. Then I'd kill you." Spooky said to us all, I mean I guess it was fair that he'd kill me. We aren't in Alabama. He then walked away.

"Let's keep playing." Monse said to us.

"My turn. I'd marry Jamal, I'd make love to Olivia and I'd kill Jasmine." I said to them all and Jasmine looked hurt.

"I'd marry Y/n. Monse, you can be my side piece. And I'd kill Jasmine." Jamal said now people, would get cautious about us.

"All right, now it's starting to hurt." Jasmine said to us, but who really cares.

"Okay, my turn. I'd make love to Monse." Olivia said and Ruby looked at her.

"Excuse me. Can you say that slower?" Ruby said and we all smiled.

"I'd make love to Monse. I'd marry Ruby. And I'd kill Jasmine." Olivia said and we all looked at her.

"All y'all can suck a bag of buttholes." Jasmine said and we all started laughing at her. Ruby and Jamal then started whispering.

"I hate to break it to you, you're not really my type." Monse said to her with a smile.

"Damn. There goes my whole experimental phase. Listen all of two minutes. Unless your still down Y/n. But don't worry, I'm not crushed...unless you kiss like Cesar." She said and I looked at her and then at Monse.

"You kissed Cesar?" We both asked her, this is why Jamal was acting up.

"On Halloween. But don't tell anyone, I don't want things to get weird." She said to us both and the door slammed shut. It was Cesar.

"You kissed Olivia?" Monse shouted as she stood up, the lights came on.

"And you didn't think to mention it!" I shouted at him.

"Damn." Jasmine got out.

"It wasn't me!" Jamal shouted as he alarm went off. There goes the Diaz siblings telling each other everything. When he can't even be honest with me anymore.
