“Hey” I said answering my phone to Marco.
“You back from your date bitch?”
“Yah motherfucker what you want?”
“The Gomez’s down my street they bought a plasma TV,”
“And?”
“Those damn plasma TV are pretty expensive we can probably get a bill or two from it at the pawn shop.”
“Nah, man you know how I don’t like to steal from people.”
“Bitch! We stole that truck!”
“That’s different!”
“Shut up, were going tonight around 12:00.”
“Ugh, fine, fine!”
I got dressed in black again, but damn we have to cover our faces so that meant our ski mask. I looked at the black mask and sighed, I hated robbing people’s houses. I must have drifted off on a random thought because before I knew it, it was 11:30. I walked out my room, of course everyone was sleeping and I walked out. I went to Marco’s and sat on the front porch waiting for him. I heard the door open and seen him dressed in black with his ski mask in his hands.
“Ready?” ‘No.’ I thought, “Yeah.”
We got up and went back to the alley. We reached the Gomez’s house and Marco picked the lock. I walked in first quietly. The lights were off and it took a while for my eyes to focus. I looked around and notice we were in the back in the kitchen. I had to make my way slowly to the front room. I felt Marco behind me following my steps. I walk through the doorway and seen the shiny screen. I knew it was hook up, ‘Great, this will be harder.’ I thought. I walked more quickly now, after seeing the prize. I reached in my back pocket and took out my little flash light. I unplugged it from the outlet.
My heart was pounding and I could feel the sweat soak through the ski mask. I moved my hand quickly disconnecting everything. We heard a bed squeak and I looked at Marco, he gestured his hands for me to hurry up, I finally got the last wire unplugged and pulled the tv off the mantle. Just when we heard the floor squeak and a door open we were out the front door and running down the street with a Plasma in our hands.
I was to scared to look back, but I heard the yells of a middle age woman crying and asking god why he was so spiteful. After a couple blocks we stopped running and walked to the nearest 24 hours pawn shop. Marco walked in while I waited outside. I felt the tears start and I tried my hardest not to let them fall. I felt a chill go up my spine thinking back to the woman’s cries.
Marco came back out and patted my shoulder, we walked back to my house since it be to risky to go back to his. Tomorrow was Sunday so he’ll spend the night. As we were walking back home Marco handed me a 150.
“That’s it?”
“Yeah.”
“Dude at Wal-mart there like, 450!”
“Well this is what we got for it at the pawn shop.”
“Damn.” My mind went back to the Gomez family. How hard they must have worked for that plasma TV. ‘Damn.’ I thought again.
We made it back to my house and went into my room he crashed on the floor and I crashed on my bed. Everything somehow melted when I remember the smell of her body, her pearly white teeth, and her smile.
I woke up the next day to the smell of my mom cooking breakfast. I removed the covers and sat up, Marco was still knocked out and I walked over him and downstairs.
“Aye no me digas!” My mom said into the phone. “Pues no, this neighborhood is getting bad, ah sabes que, Miggy’s best friend lives a couple houses from los Gomez’s maybe he saw something.”
I felt my gut turn and twist at the sound of my mom’s words. I sat down and she served me breakfast. Chris was already maxing his breakfast and looked at me.
“What?” I asked sipping some orange juice.
“Nothing.” He said eating some more. Our mom walked out the room and Chris looked at me again.
“What?” I said more frustrated.
“It was you and Marco wasn’t it.”
“No fool, Marco came over and spent the night.”
“How come I didn’t hear you all?”
“Cause we were watching a movie.”
“Why didn’t I hear the movie?”
“Shit nigga I don’t know fuck!” I said almost throwing my plate at him as I got up and went upstairs.
Marco was laying there, just looking at the ceiling.
“And you?”
“Shit just woke up.”
“Oh.” I said flopping on my bed.
“What’s wrong?”
“Chris knows.”
“Knows what?”
“You know guey.”
“How did he even know?”
“Someone’s talking to my mom and told her about the Gomez’s.”
“Damn, word travels huh? What did your mom make it smells flame.”
“Juevos Rancheros.”
“AMA!” He said walking out my room. “My god you know how to cook!”
I laid back on my bed and looked at the ceiling my gut turn and twist again. “Fuck!”
‘I’m never stealing from people again.’ I thought, ‘I don’t care what Marco says. I’m done. Well with houses.’ I sighed and closed my eyes.

Monday came quicker than expected Marco and me chilled the rest of the day watch movies play video games, it was a ‘whatever day. I had butterflies in my stomach walking into the school I smiled to myself thinking of how gay that sounded. What kind of guy says he has butterflies? I walked into English class wondering if she was going to act different, if she was going to act if Saturday never happened. I took a deep breath and walked in. She was there already sitting in her regular seat, she looked up from her book and smiled at me.
‘Yes!” I said to myself.
I sat next to her and smiled, “Hey there.”
“Hi carino!”
I was so in. I smiled again. “So how was the rest of your weekend?”
“Lazy.”
“Lazy?”
“Yeah, just watched movies and lay around.”
“Hey, same here…” I said smiling.
“Good morning class!” The teacher came in.
‘Ugh!’
She went on and on about a paper we had to write, since I kind of understood the concept, I started to ignore her, I took a pen out and wrote on a blank paper.
‘Hey’
‘You’re such a dork.’
‘: p’
‘We're going to get in trouble.’
‘Chicken’
‘I am not!’
‘Yeah u r.’
‘nah.’
‘ssshh.’
‘Did u just ssshh me on paper!’
I couldn’t help but to laugh. Making the teacher look at me, I tried to play it off with a cough but she eyes me suspiciously.
‘Nice going smart one.’
‘hardy har har.’
This time she laughed out loud.
“Excuse me! Do you two have something to share!” The teacher asked.
“No ma’am.” I said smiling.
“Sorry, Ms. Parker.”
“Right so like I was saying.”
She crumpled the paper and continued to listen.
I sighed in boredom and put my head down. I fell asleep instantly since I didn’t get much sleep last night. It felt like 5 minutes I was deep in my sleep and it wasn’t I had slept the rest of the 45 minutes of class. I woke up to her hands on my back rubbing up and down.
“Carino wake up..”
“Huh?” I said popping my head up.
“You fell asleep, what to much party last night?” She asked with a smile.
“Nah just couldn’t sleep.” I said rubbing my eyes to wake me up a little bit, I stretched and got up along with her.
“Why’s that?” She asked stepping out the class.
“Just things were on my mind.” I said.
She looked around and looked back at me, “Okay well bye.” She said and she hurried to the exit. I rose my eyebrows and wondered why her adittude changed suddenly. I turned around and decided to give her space. I looked for Marco but seen him talking to some hoochi, the kind I had described before, her tetas all out her ass in some tight pants. Most guys would get at that, but not me. I felt like I had the world at my fingertips, but yet I couldn’t grasp it. She kept slipping through my fingers. I sat down on the bench waiting for Marco to spit his game. My mind wandered off to her, again. Why did she just leave like that? Does she even like me like that? God I sound like a broad. I looked over to Marco again, he was kissing her now. Ew.
I put my head against the wall and waited for this nigga. Then my mind wandered back to the Gomez’s why do I even chill with this fool? Then I remember, elementary school.
“Ahaha Marco has no papers, he an alien!” I remember the white kids making fun of him. I was a loner and was sitting down reading a book. I guess I’ve always been different huh? But I walked over to the group of kids circled around Marco. “Your disgusting! You’re an alien!” They chanted. I pushed through the white kids and went to Marco’s side. “Yeah well you’re a honky and you are a nerd and you’re a polish sausage and you!” I pointed to an Italian girl, “your ugly.” I pushed the closest white boy and, well he punched me back and then me and Marco got jumped. After they walked away laughing I helped Marco up. “You alright?”
“Yeah. Thanks.” He straighten up and we walked to the end of the park smilling. “What are you smiling about?” I asked confused, I was limping and he was bleeding from his lip. “Well.” He looked around, “I got this.” He pulled a ‘Gameboy’ from his back pocket.
I leaned up and put my head in my hands. I looked up and seen Marco had this girl pinned against the wall. ‘Ew.’ I put my head back in my hands. ‘Ugh why did she leave in a hurry?’ I thought.
I felt someone’s hands on my back and looked up. It was her.
“I thought you had left?”
“I did, but…”
“You needed some more of this huh?” I said wiggling my eyebrows.
“Stop it.”
I laughed.
“to tell you the truth, I forgot a book in my locker.”
“Stop lying girl!”
“I’m serious!”
“Okay where is it?”
“Its well, it’s…”
“yeah uhhuh.”
“Whatever.” She said blushing.
“Do you wanna go get Chinese?”
“Are you trying to fatten me up?”
“Uh no…I’m just hungry.”
“Right.”
“Soo…”
“Well, that’s pretty greasy, so how about….Jamba Juice.”
“What the hell is that!!” I exclaimed.
She laughed. “Come on.”
I got up and went with her looking behind my shoulder seeing Marco still kissing that one girl. We walked for a little bit and there was this place called Jamba Juice. We walked in and right away my nose was infumed with the smell of fruit. I made a face and she laughed.
“What?” She asked.
“It smells girly.”
“C’mon its taste delicious.”
She went up to the counter and order our drinks. We drank our fruity drinks they were alright I guess, it sure was healthy for you, with her I forgot all about the Gomez, Marco and all my problems. She was my safe haven. I wanted this forever.
“Wait!” I said putting the juice down, “Were still going out Wednesday right?”
“No,”
“What! Why?”
“Down killer, I was just kidding, yeah so were are you taking me?”
“Nah it’s a surprise.” I said finishing up the juice.
