wednesday, 9:40

After my first couple of classes of the day , I was finally fully awake. Waking up early was never my thing.

I turned a corner and bumped into someone. " I'm sorry," I looked up rubbing my forehead. Once I realized who it was I rolled my eyes. " Oh Cesar, it's just you" I breathed, turning around.

He grabbed my arm and pulled me into a janitors closet. " you know it's always funny how the janitor is never in here." I said, chuckling lightly.

" are you avoiding me?" he asked, confused.

" if I was avoiding you, I wouldn't make eye contact with you" I told him looking sideways.

" Cam? What's wrong?" He asked, concerned.

" I don't know Cesar, you wanna tell me what made you lose your mind." I said, avoiding eye contact with him. He stared at me, confused as ever. " what-" I put my hand up.

" of course you wouldn't know you aren't thinking, just like you weren't thinking when you made that choice." I sighed.

" Oh, you're talking about me claiming you," he walked out of the janitors closet with me following closely behind.

" you're acting like it's no big deal." I shook my head. He stopped at his locker and turned around. " It's not, I did it to protect you. "

" How many girls have you told that?" I laughed. " Please stop , you sound like a crazy girlfriend," Cesar rolled his eyes and I rolled mine.

" Fine Cesar, just be that way," I walked away annoyed with him.

" Wait does Monse know about this?" I stopped in my tracks, and looked at the boy. " you might as well start calling her your girlfriend, wait It might just slip out of my mouth." I walked away.

My day was really boring, just like any other days. I needed some excitement to it. Now on the other hand, i wasn't going to Monse anything. I wasn't going to rat Cesar out to a girl.

I decided to go for a walk, and of course Mateo wanted to tag along, so I let him. We got outside and walked past Cesar's house.

Which was a bad idea, I looked at the gang sitting in their chairs. One whistled, and as I turned my head I saw Cesar looking at us.

He got up as I grabbed Mateo's hand and started to walk faster.

" What are you doing? You're messing up my hair pendeja," he shook me off of him.

" Hey guys, Mateo you wanna come over and chill?" Cesar asked, making me angry.

" Sure, anything to get away from her," he shrugged. I gasped, " you're the one that wanted to come."

" And now I'm the one that's leaving," He started walking, so I yanked him back.

" No," I said sternly, as Cesar just stared at me. " So i can't go out the house with a friend, but you can?" He sighed, obviously getting annoyed.

" Well I was basically right by the house," I tried to explain. " And im literally going to be next door, chill," he started walking away.

" You know you look cute when you're mad?" Cesar told me, catching up with Mateo. I decided to walk to Jamal's house, he always knew what to do in bad situations.

I knocked on his door and his mom let me in. " Jamal is in his room," she motioned me to his door.

When I walked in, Jamal was in there talking to himself. " J-Jamal?" I asked trying not to laugh.

He looked up, freaked out. " How'd you get in here?" Jamal asked, relieved.

" You're mom let in, I'm surprised she did, I didn't even tell her I was your friend, for all she knew I could've been trying to kill you." I ranted as he sat there confused.

" I need to rant and you seem like the only person I can trust. Ok so Me and Cesar have this type of beef going on I guess. And it all started when you told me that Cesar claimed me. But then he said I sounded like a crazy girlfriend, when Monse was the one who sounded like a crazy girlfriend telling me to stay away from him. Anywho then he invites my brother to hang out when I told him no but he went anyway," I ranted to him.

" Jamal are you even listening?" I waved my hand in front of his face. " Yea, uh you probably shouldn't have told me this, you know I can't keep things. It's gonna get hard for me to keep it and eventually say it outloud . But if you want some help, you should just talk to Cesar instead of talking to me." He tried to say nicely.

" that was no help, i don't want to talk to him," I shrugged, walking over to his bed sitting down.

" but you should, that's the only way you're gonna solve it, or to Monse she got claimed too." he looked at me.

" oh great good thing I'm not the only one," I laid down.

" I should get home, wish me luck on not seeing him," I rolled my eyes, walking out. When I got home I managed to not see Cesar, or anyone in his gang for that matter.

Everyone was just doing their own thing. It got boring after a while, I needed some drama. I wanted to know about Caleb and the club he was in.

" Hey Caleb, how's the gang life treating you?" I asked, instantly regretting what I just said. He shrugged, " it's not really much different, but Austin is trying to find a way for me to get out."

" He doesn't know any better," I snickered. I heard the front door close and me and Caleb walk downstairs.

" Look who's finally home," I say sitting on the couch.

" I have great news!" He clapped his hands.

" Oh? Do spill.." Giselle said walking from the kitchen into the livingroom.

" This ought to be good." Yara says.

" I'm joining  Los Santos!!"
