Hey guys! I don't think anyone is actually reading this but if you are just know it means a lot to me!! So without further ado lets get this started!!//
"Ugh! Brittany I don't want to wear that!",were the first words out of my mouth when I saw the atrocious bodycon contraption my so called "friend" Brittany was trying to force me to wear. I hated being popular sometimes, I always felt like a fake who was hiding
her true self. When I was out at parties I felt lost...I always wished to be at home curled up on our ratty couch reading romance novels and watching chick flicks. Unfortunately for me that was all just a fantasy, if anyone were to find the secrets I was hiding I would have zero friends and my life would become even more messed up than it already was. At least focusing on minuscule things like clothes and hair would distract me from my past. "Uh Melanieee! You totally just zoned out on me!", came a squeaky high pitched sound...oh wait, that was Brittany's annoying ass voice. "Sorry!" I squealed back in probably just as annoying of a voice, "I was just thinking about how hot you would look in that dress!" "Okay Mel I'll go try it on!",was Brittany's response.I internally laughed when I heard grunting noises coming from inside the changing room. Brittany was many things but she most definitely was not hot. Call me a bitch but I'm just stating the truth. The only reason Brittany was popular was because of her mothers business empire built on...wait for it...tampons. Her mom was the richest person in Wayfair and that automatically made her a princess in the eyes of the Wayfair High School population. Anyways that was all besides the point I was so done with this useless shopping date with Brittany, she randomly dragged me on these all the time even though it wasn't like I could afford anything at the shops she took me to. I left Brittany to squeeze into the tight dress,I temporarily felt bad but I knew Brittany would get over it when her driver picked her up and took her to her massage and facial appointment. As for me, I headed out the mall plaza and into the nearby diner to meet someone for their tutoring session. Tutoring was a good way for me to earn money and my sessions were usually at diners or fast food places which worked out well because it was one less meal that Mami (mom) had to pay for. I would never agree to have the sessions in my apartment...there was just too many chances of the truth being found out. I walked into the diner and looked around for today's customer. I didn't see anyone so I went and sat down at an empty booth and started twiddling my thumbs. "Hey, yo over here!", I heard a voice yell. Oh it was just my luck, of course the client happened to be Derek the school prankster and the most annoying kid at our school. On top of being a jerk, failing all his classes, and having extremely rich parents, Derek also happened to be the point guard for the school basketball team. Just another popular kid that I had to put up an image for. I groaned and reluctantly walked over and sat down across from him in the booth. I gingerly picked up the menu he handed to me and ordered a small veggie burger...it was the only thing that I could afford on the menu anyways. "Why are you getting that small burger? I'm paying and I need to spend this money!", said Derek as he held up two $50 bills . Who the hell had that much money to spend on dinner I thought to myself. I sighed and picked a large milkshake to go along with my burger...after what had happened this morning I didn't think I could stomach anything more. I flashed back to the visit from my Papi (dad) this morning, he had brought the gang leader with him and told us that if we didn't hand over all our savings he would put his Glock through mine and mi Mami's heads. We handed him over the money that was for my college and for a new house for mi Mami. Before he left he slapped me hard and slammed the door behind him as he walked out. Both me and Mami broke down but I quickly got up and comforted her. I had to be the bigger person because mi Mami was so broken that if she shattered I don't think there was anything I could do to put her back together. "Melanie yo, is that all you want?" asked Derek. I responded with a brief nod and looked down. That turned out to be a bad idea because when my gaze went downwards I saw Derek's pants, which just so happened to have a huge boner sticking out. Oh my gosh! I started laughing so hard and just completely had a fit. "What happened?" Asked a curious Derek, but then he suddenly looked down and he blushed. He covered it up with the menu and I finally stopped laughing. I was still grinning when I said, "I didn't know you were that into me..." he started blushing profoundly and I went silent. He quietly mumbled ,"trust me I'm not, I mean your hot and everything but I'm pretty sure I'm into guys." The last part was a mere whisper that I didn't think I heard correctly. Derek Shelton into guys. He had the most conservative father in town. His dad would never let him be gay. Derek started crying softly, I felt so bad that I stroked his hand while mumbling,"there,there" trying to be encouraging. "I just, I just don't know what to do...my dad will throw me out I know he will and I don't think I can keep living a lie." I stood up and went to his side of the booth and put my arm around him letting him cry into my shoulder. "I'm sorry for laughing, today was just a rough day and your boner just made me laugh, I shouldn't have."I said to him. He gave me a watery smile and nodded that it was okay. The food came and we both picked at it sullenly. I then felt my phone ringing in my back pocket and I realized what time it was. "Oh shit I have to go home I'm sorry about the tutoring session going like this, you don't have to pay me."I quickly said as I started to rush out of the diner. "At least let me give you a ride home!" Derek said as he quickly left the money for the food and a heavy tip on the table. I reluctantly sighed, I didn't want anyone to see my shabby home it would ruin the image I had worked so hard to create but since Derek had shared his secret with me, I nodded my head okay. The ride to my apartment was silent and I quickly thanked Derek when we reached my home and climbed fast up to our floor. Mi Mami had a strict curfew for me which was 9:00 because the nighttime was when the gang was most active. I took out my key and opened the door and shouted out, ¡Hola Mami estoy en casa! (Hi mom I'm home). I got no response, that was strange.¿Que cojones? (What the fuck?) I shouted when I saw mi tío (my uncle) sitting on our small dinner table facing away from me. I quickly apologized for the language but gasped when he turned around and I saw bloodshot eyes. "Sit down. Nosotros necesitamos hablar."(we need to talk)
