Chapter 2: Weird decisions
María’s P.O.V
The bell rings to dismiss us from our third class to lunch. I get up and walk to my locker meeting Mae and Marshall there.
“Salope stupide, non!” (Stupid bitch, no!) Mae says to her brother
“What’s going on?” I ask as I approach them
“This stupid fuck thinks that skipping our last classes of the day is a good idea! No thanks, I’m going to have perfect attendance for the rest of the year, and next, I want to get into my college!” Mae explains
“Oh, whatever! You’ll probably get into it anyway, you’re grades are perfect! And so is your attendance!” Marshall argues
“I mean, he’s not wrong, but Marsh if Mae doesn’t want to then she doesn’t have to. I’ll go with you.” I say, closing my locker after grabbing my lunch
“What are you going to do?” A familiar voice asks, I turn around to see Wyatt, again
“Oh, hey Wyatt. My friend Marshall and I are going to skip our last classes of the day,” I explain, pointing to Marshall as I say his name
“Oh, cool can I come?” Wyatt asks
I look at Marshall, “Uh, sure the more the merrier!”
I look back at Wyatt and smile, “Cool, wanna come sit with me and my friends?” Wyatt asks
I look at Mae, she shrugs, “Sure,” I say
“Cool,” Wyatt smiles
We start walking to the lunch room. Wyatt and Marshall start talking and Mae looks at me.
“When did you hang out with Oleff?” She whispers
“Never, he just started talking to me in my first class because I mumbled something in Spanish and they were curious about what it was and it turns out he knows Spanish,” I explain
“What? White boy know’s Spanish?” Mae asks surprised
I nod, “Yep, but I don’t think he knows French so we can talk shit all we want.”
She laughs, “Yea. And are you really going to ditch me?”
“Yea, I wanna get high,” I respond with a smile
She gives me a side-eye and we sit down next to Wyatt and Marshall at the lunch table.
“Guys, this is Marshall, Mae, and María," Wyatt says pointing to each of us as he says our names
"Oh, you're the girl who spoke Spanish in our math class! I'm Jack." Jack says and smiles brightly
"She knows who you are Jack, she's not stupid." Noah smacks Jack's arm, then smiles at me
I smile back, "Well anyway, I'm Jaeden, this is Millie, Sophia, Sadie,
