Valerie Hernandez
"We're here," Tyler said. We jumped out of the car and to my surprise we are at my dad's diner. I turned to him, raising my eyebrow. "LA parilla? Seriously? This your definition of fun?" He shrugs. "It's a great place and everyone loves food right?" Can't argue with that. "By the way you work here right?"
I bit my lip to suppress the smile that was making its way to my face. Little did he know that my dad is the one who owns the diner. I nod my head, we walked in and make our way to the booth.
"So, what are you going to order?" I asked.
"I don't know, the last time I'm here, you only gave me your milkshake. Which by the way tasted so delicious."
"I know," I replied cockily. Tyler rolls his eyes.
A girl went to our table and about to take our order but once her gaze landed on Tyler, she quickly fixes her hair while Tyler's not looking and open the three-button of her shirt showing her boobs.
"He
Valerie Hernandez "What are you doing here Valerie?" "Um... Hey dad." I wave shyly to him. "Shouldn't you be at school?" "I- uh" I glanced at the clock behind him. "A...a... School has ended." I didn't lie though, school just end 10 minutes ago. Dad crosses his arms over his chest, raising his brows. "Oh really? I thought it needs 25 minutes to arrive here." I laugh awkwardly "It does but the teacher has been nice to us so they decided to let us out early." My dad narrowed his eyes looking suspiciously at me. I didn't blame him though cause my excuse was pretty unconvincing. My dad still giving me that look. The one that says don't-you-dare-lie-to-me look. "Okay fine you got me."
Valerie HernandezAfter mom found out about me ditching detention, she really grounded me for 2 weeks. But luckily there’s dad, he helps me talk to mom about everything that happened, and hopefully, she could cut it into a week. At first, she didn’t agree but eventually after persuading her a lot of time, she agrees and cut my punishment into a week.She told me that if this thing happened again It will be much worse. I don’t know that my mother will be this scary. Today is my first day of punishment and mom only allowed me to go to work but not hanging out. Which is suck.I make my way to my locker and open it. I took the book that I need for the first period."Hey, girlie,""Hey," I said weakly while still taking my book out. "What’s wrong? I could smell someone is pissed." I turned to Carmen and saw her looking at me raising her eyebrows. "My mom ground me for a week.""Why? Any reason?" turning back to my locker, I bit my lip.
Valerie HernandezI try to reeve the car engine but still is not working. I groaned as I hit the steering wheel. Why can’t this car just turn on?"Still working on the car?" I jumped as Tyler's face appear on the window next to me. "You scared me," he smirked as I glared at him. I open the car door and got out. "Still not working?""No, I don’t know what is wrong.""Come on, I’ll help." He opens his leather jacket and placed it on the chair. He took the wrench to open the part of the engine. The two of us start working while discussing the minus part of the car. "So you’re not going anywhere today?""Nope, my friend asked me to join them to go shopping for a dress for homecoming but I decline and said I’m busy.""Why?""Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy shopping but I rather spend hours in the garage than walking around from store to store for hours.""I thought you are the type of
Valerie Hernandez"Val," I looked up and saw Julia is making her way to my locker. I smile and waved my hand to her. She then stood in front of me looking excited. "You look radiant, what’s the matter?""I found the perfect dress for me yesterday." I raised my eyebrow at her. "You are excited because of a dress?""Yeah but my excitement is mainly because of a certain someone.""Who’s that person?""I met a cute guy yesterday at the mall and we just clicked." She said excitedly. I looked at her surprised but broke into a smile. "Well I am happy for you Julia," I hugged her. "Thank you, I will bring him to meet you guys sometimes or we can go out on a double date, how’s that?
Valerie Hernandez"Come on Val! I didn’t mean it." I ignore andy as I make my way to the cafeteria. "Val!" a few students are looking at us weirdly because Andy kept calling my name. "I’m sorry!"I stop walking and turned around suddenly which almost make Andy crash to me but luckily, he managed to steady himself. "What the hell Andy! You threw a freaking paper ball and asked what happend? Why couldn't you text me instead of throwing a paper? What is this the 16 centuries?""Okay, okay, I’m sorry. I’m just curious and thought that you wouldn’t open your phone." I hissed at him. "Because of your thoughts, I nearly get detention." Turning around, I continue my walk to the cafeteria. As I arrived at the cafeteria, I drop my bag on the table with a pissed of looked.
Valerie Hernandez "Where Should I hang this?" I asked one of the comittee. "Just hang it there but you need one more person to help you." "Okay, I'll go ask for help." She nodded then continue to give a pointer to the other students. I bring the very long tassel to the corner then laid it down on the floor. Now all I need is a ladder. "Need some help?" A voice starled me from behind. I jumped and put my hand on my chest. Turning around, I glared at the person. "What the hell? Do you always do that?" "Do what?" "Scared me!" "Oh... you were starled? I didn't know." he said innocently and I hissed at him. "What are you doing here anyway?" I narrowed my eyes at him. "Don't tell me..." "If you're thinking that I'm following you, you're thinking too much." I rolled my eyes. "Who knows, maybe you're obssesed with me." I bent down to pick up the tassel. "If you're not followi
Valerie Hernandez"You're done with your friend's car?" Trevor asked as he came walking in. "Not yet though, seems like he presses the brake too hard and it causes the brake pads to wear down.""Can you fix it?""I can but I can't finish it now. Maybe tomorrow.""As long as your friend is okay with
Valerie Hernandez"So... how's my car doing?" I turned to Andrew who slides next to me. I put my food down then swallowed. "About your car, I thought that it is not that bad like probably a day everything will be settled. But I was wrong, your brake pads are broken so it needs to be changed and I don't think today or tomorrow is done.""Why?" He said scrunching his eyebrow. "Because today, I have to help the others to decorate for homecoming. A part of my detention, remember? Then, tomorrow is the day of the playoffs and I do not want to miss it. So your car will be done on Monday or Tuesday, I guess.""Can it be done a little faster?""Well, it can if I took a night shift." Slowly a grin appeared on his face. "Then take the night shift."
