   The person to whom the phrase was addressed did not see the photo. Will he still be angry? Because after I told him I was going to go on a date with Chad, he didn't speak to me again, I don't like this, I feel weird without him but I don't want to talk to him either, what do I say?

I do not know.

   Ug you never know anything, I'm going to find out in high school I guess.

There is only one thing I know.

   What thing?

One thing that you did not realize, or perhaps did not pay attention to.

   Than? Damn what?

Chad liked your photo.

   Ah that, I am not interested in the truth, I am not going to lie.

Well.

   Well.

   When we got to school we went down with my brothers but further on I see Cameron, so there I go, running towards my best friend as if my life depended on it ... well, not so but I was walking quite fast.

"Hello!" he says happily, with a huge smile that leaves me totally confused. Is it me or is the world crazier every day? Wasn't this guy mad at me?

"Hello?" I say obviously confused and he realizes.

"Sorry about yesterday, I was in my world and I woke up in a bad mood, how did the "date" go?" he asks making quotes with his hands when he said quote.

"Well I suppose, we do not speak anything but we are going to go another day to some Starbucks as 'friends'" I answer him making quotes when I say friends.

"Oh" rolls his eyes, turns around and leaves like nothing.

   Dammit! What happens? If he is angry about something he says to my face, if he wants something to tell me, if something happens to him, tell me, but he can't do this to me and I'm standing here like a boluda without knowing why my best friend doesn't wants to speak to me.

   When I am about to run after him to ask him, he just rings the bell indicating that we have to enter the classrooms and that's what I do, I get to the room and I always sit with Cameron but apparently not today. He sat with my brother Santiago, so I will sit with his benchmate and best friend, Denise.

   When he sees me he stays a few seconds but immediately rolls his eyes and continues his conversation with Santiago.

"I have no idea what will happen to this boy, I wanted to ask him now but he changed my bank partner apparently" I tell Denise as soon as I sit down, she just smiles at me and keeps copying. Apparently today is the day not to talk to Sara, anyone else?

   A message from an unknown number interrupts my thoughts and unfortunately I already know who it is. I look at Chad sitting on the other side of the room and the moment we make eye contact, he indicates with his eyes to look at the cell phone and that's what I do, I totally have nothing else to do since I don't feel like getting into copy what the teacher says, or pay attention to the class, then I'll watch videos on the internet.

Unknown number: Do you want to go for a drink this afternoon?

Me: alright

Unknown number: I'm bored

Me: Yo tambien (Me too)

Unknown number: Do you speak Spanish?

Me: I really

Me: I don't

Unknown number: Maybe you should pay more attention to the class

Me: I because??

Unknown number: You'll see

"Miss Harris give me the cell phone and go to the address" I listen as soon as I finish reading the message, I do what he tells me, I was getting bored in that class anyway so better.

   Before going to the beloved principal office with my beloved director, I take a walk around the patio and only then do I go to fulfill my duty as an irresponsible person. When I get to the principal office, Chad is at the door debating whether to enter or not. What are you doing here?

"After you left she saw me using my cell phone" God, saying my thoughts again, I'm a danger.

"You don't want to go in?"

"Although it may not seem like it, I never went to the management for having done something wrong, I'm not like you".

"I'm not like you" I make fun of him and for having said that I push him so we end up entering together at the same time.

"Hello Liam" I greet with all my confidence sitting in one of the chairs in front of him, Chad sits in the other.

"I never gave you the right to call me that Miss. Harris" says the director raising his eyebrows as if he was angry, but I know he is not ... or so I think.

"I never gave you the right to call me Ms. Harris and still does. It makes me feel old sir, you may be, but I haven't even turned 18 yet" Chad laughs but hides it by covering his mouth with his hand, I don't hide it directly because I'm right, I always am.

"To detention" he says while writing something down in his notebook.

"Thank you" I smile, I prefer to be in detention rather than in the classroom feeling ignored by my best friend while talking to my brothers or pretending to do homework, which I know he does not do.

"You too mr. Blake" that makes me laugh because he did not say a word and they still send him with me.

"Ug" is the only thing he says while shaking his head, we stop and go out. "You made me arrest!" he yells at me as soon as we are outside.

"Uh, the good little boy never went to detention?" I say while laughing, then I wink at him and go to the detention room, what's wrong with me? I was never what is called "rebel" but I feel funny, this is funny. Although I can't go on like this all year if I want to graduate from high school ... or yes, well not really but let's just leave it at that.

   Detention I spent it asleep on the table while Chad, I have no idea what he was doing but I was asleep. We finished when lunch started but I left school instead of going to the cafeteria, I didn't want to be there anymore. Why? Because I need to think, what is happening, what is happening to ME.

   As soon as I get home I send a message to my mother to let her know, because my brothers or someone is going to tell her and she is going to worry.

Me: Mommy

Me: I'm home, I came home

Me: My period has come and I feel pretty bad, my head hurts a lot and well I didn't want to be there anymore

The queen of excuses, was that the only thing you came up with?

   That was the best thing I could think of, come on, it's super credible.

Can be.

   I'm great.

   I hear my cell phone ringing and when I look at it, it's her, I swear I love my mom, I couldn't have had a better one.

Mom: Good daughter

Mom: I hope you feel better

Mom: If you need something tell me, me or your dad

Me: well thanks mom

   After hanging around the house for a while, I lay down on the couch to watch a movie. It's weird to me that none of my friends asked me why I'm not with them but hey, maybe Mom talked to one of the boys.

   In the middle of the movie, I'm watching "My favorite villain", my cell phone rings again and it belongs to the last person who expected it, but also the only one.

Unknown number: Do you want to go somewhere tonight?

Me: it depends

Me: Where?

Unknown number: Illegal racing ...

Me: ok

Unknown number: Really? I thought you would say no

Me: Why would I say no?

Me: I'm tired, I need to clear myself

Me: Can I ride the bike?

Unknown number: Yes, yes

Unknown number: As long as you warn before, anyone can always

Unknown number: Now I notify the organizer, then I send you the address

Me: ok go

   Tonight I'm going to have fun like never before.

   My brothers arrive after school and they just look at me saying "hello" and each one goes to their room. After their respective jobs, mom and dad come with Alexa and Kiara, they go to dance after school and they pick them up there.

   Nobody can know that I am going to leave it is clear, so I must do it when everyone has gone to bed, also I am well on time if I do so. So when we finish dinner, we wash between all the dishes, dry them and go to bed. Everyone goes to their room and I'm clearly going to mine too. All the rooms are on the first floor, but it is not difficult to go down for the sale which is what I will do.

   First I make sure that no one is walking around the house and I juggle to get down, the hardest thing will be to get the bike out because clearly I can't turn it on since everyone is going to get up.

   I go to where they are and those of David and Santiago are missing, although they must have put it on another side of the house. I dragged it until I was a block or so from the house and just then I turn it on, it cost me a lot because it is very heavy and I am not one of the strongest people there is.

   When I get to the address that Chad gave me, it is full of people and motorcycles ... I LOVE IT! I think I found heaven itself. To go, I put on a torn black jean, a flowery muscular one, a leather jacket and white converse.

"You came" Chad tells me as soon as he sees me.

"I told you I wanted to run" I hit him on the shoulder when I speak as if we were lifelong friends, which amuses me and I start to laugh.

"You're definitely crazy." he looks at me as if he really is, which makes me laugh more.

"I'm just in a good mood, take advantage of it because it doesn't last long".

"Annotated" makes as if he is writing on a notebook in the air.

   We were talking around with two other guys he knew until they said to go to our posts, Chad is the one who tells me where I am going because I had no idea. I make myself comfortable, I put on my helmet and I see that he does everything the same as me, which is obvious since we all have to do it because even if they are illegal, it is better for no one to be injured and for the police not to come.

   The moment they tell us "GO!" I go out with the bike to everything it gives, and when I look at my sides I realize that I am going first. I had always wanted to ride a motorcycle but did not know where to go, or with whom, adding that they would not let me, but now that I am doing it, I cannot believe it. The adrenaline rush is great.

   We pass the finish line and I realize that I won. I win! I mean, I won ... oh my first race, and, I won! I'm super happy and I can't believe it, I really can't believe it. I think I will never forget this day in my life, I do not like having lied to everyone to come, although it is not lying but hiding the truth because my parents and brothers must believe that I am in my room asleep. I would have liked to come with my friends, with my brothers, with Cameron I would like to be here now but hey, it's not going to be like that.

   To run in the race we had to pay, and whoever wins gets a percentage of the total so I'm even more excited. There is a boy, who must be the one who organizes it, who calls me to get to her so she gives me what she is going to give me. I am amused that some look at me badly and others congratulate me by saying "friend", with the half baggy clothes that I have my curves are not noticeable, although we agree that there are not many, and I still have not looted my helmet so they will think I am a boy Chad comes after me and I hear him laugh too, it must be because of that. As soon as I take off my helmet I hear different comments like, "I fell in love", "I can't believe a girl won me", "Who let a girl compete?" and that makes me angry.

"We are in the 20th century, you i***t, get used to being beaten by a girl" I say making quotes with my hands on a girl.

   I regret having shouted because there is someone who answers me, does not respond to what I said but knows who I am and saw me at last, this is not right I think.

"What are you doing here?" some voices too familiar for my taste ask.

   Oh oh...

Someone is in trouble.

   And that someone is me.

Exactly.

   Got damn.

This time I support you, hell!
