Ouch. I found myself on the floor while Manuel's fat ass was on my side of the bed. Urg. Damn it, what was my dream about, it was important...all well. I climbed back on about to turn him back to his side but thought of something better to do.


I went to the kitchen and grabbed some ketchup; I went to the bathroom next and grabbed the toothpaste and hair gel. I poured the ketchup on his face and then out some on a piece of paper where I was sure he would land. I got the paste and placed it on his hands and feet.

I put the evidence away and went next to his ear. "Manny" I whispered to make sure he was still asleep. No response, good. I took a deep breath and gave a piercing scream. His eyes flung open and he started screaming.

Oh my god, his face was hilarious. He got off the bed on stood on the exact spot where I placed the ketchup, once again he screamed. OMG! Haha, it was so funny, I couldn't stop laughing.


He stopped screaming and glared at me, "Kathy", he growled my name. Ugh oh, looks like I could stop laughing. I tried to run but he grabbed me and started throwing toothpaste and ketchup on me. Eww...cool.


We played for another five minutes and then stopped. I felt like I was five. After I cleaned everything off while he took a shower my phone started to ring. I checked the time; it was 3 in the afternoon. Damn we slept long.

I picked up the phone without checking the caller ID. "Ello", there was no answer at first but after couple seconds I heard someone breathing. "Hello?" still no answer, creepy much. When I was about to cut the line I heard someone yell my name. "Kathy, baby, I'm sorry please can we go somewhere and talk." David, it was David, ah hell no. "Go die in a hole, your dead to me" I hung up.

Manuel and I got bored watching movies in my room, so we decided to go to his house. I changed out of my pj's and into my clothes; black short shorts, a pink zebra print shirt, my hot pink high tops, a silver studded belt and black gloves that covered my arms but not my fingers.


When we got to his place, it was around 10 o' clock. Kyle was with Sebastian and we headed down to the lake. We started cussing at each other and racing around the shore.


Kyle took out a radio and put some music, we were having our own lil party. Sebastian asked how my birthday went and if David called me. I just stared at him and Manuel slapped his arm. After that I decided to do what I did best. I drank like there was no tomorrow. Sebastian brought Coors lite and Kyle brought corona. I passed out, and was glad too.


CHAPTER 8:
The days went by quickly and my graduation day came. For some reason, when I woke up my stomach was tight and my heart was going faster than normal. At first I thought it was because I was nervous, but it wasn't. I knew it wasn't. It was the feeling I got when something bad was going to happen. I tried ignoring it, but every minute that I got closer to going to school, my body would tense up.
I put a navy blue dress that I designed myself. It was a halter dress, which ended two inches above my knees. It was tight on the top, and made a little poof on the bottom.


It even had chains as the belt. I put a necklace that was gold chained with a blue jewel hanging down, small matching earrings; about 7 of them, I had 7 piercings. I straightened my hair and put some blush on. I didn't really like make-up and it was a graduation, not a party at the Bronx.

I was out the door and my mom was waiting in the car for me. "Ah, mira mi niña, tan grande esta ya. Y que bonita!" (Look at my girl, you're so big, and you look pretty!).


"Gracias mommy", I looked at what she was wearing; it was a green silk dress that had a butterfly a tiny gold butterfly that held the strings that held the dress. She looked pretty, but for some odd reason my heart started racing and I started to sweat.


We drove to the school and I went to find my friends. Found them, they were in a circle in the corner of the hallway, already in their gowns. I started to jog toward them. "Kathy" they all yelled in unison. Danielle was the first one to hug me. She was 5'8", had medium curly dark brown hair, flawless caramel skin and brown/gold eyes.


She had her hair half curled and half straight, Kari had straight black hair, that was set in waves today, dark brown skin and big brown eyes, Sandra was black but had light brown eyes and smooth straight hair, she had a baby face, Nia, Katie and the rest of them looked just as pretty.
