3.

As we walk into the cafeteria Mateo stops and looks down the hall way at a group of kids. No, not kids. A group of Rivera's.

"Hey, do you guys want to meet my cousins? I mean Tori, you kinda met them last night Grayson."

"Sure, let's go make more friends Tori."

"Acquaintances. I don't do friends dumbass...exept you."

"Because you love me so much."

Gray put his arm around me like last night.

"Whatever makes you sleep at night weirdo."

I told him and Mateo took us to his cousins. Sure enough, there were 3 boys standing infront of the broken vending machine. They were cursing it out in Italian because it wasn't giving them their money back or what they wanted.

"Um...guys. I have people for you to meet."

Mateo walked up to them. They all looked up and looked at Gray and I.

"This is Grayson, he was who we talked to last night. Well not you Scout. And this is his friend Tori."

I walked over to the vending machine.

"Hi. Let me help you with this dumb fucker."

I hit the side of the vending machine, making the snacks and drink fall. Then I opened it with the key that was literally on the top of it.

"Grab whatever. The school really doesn't care."

"To-"

"Tori Hill. I see you've meet our new students. You've also gotten yourself in trouble younge lady."

The front desk lady, Mrs.Brown, was walking down the hall we to me. The 4 Riveras just looked at me then Mrs. Brown. I looked at Gray and he nodded at me.

"Well it was nice meet you all but I need to go."

I booked it down the hallways and around corners into the art room. My art teacher is my favorite, I call him panda because he loves pandas.

"Good afternoon Victoria."

Oh, and he's the only adult in the school that knows my full name. He also only call me Victoria.

"Afternoon panda."

"What did you do this time?"

"Apparently there's new kids, but I just saw a group of kids struggling to get food out of that broken vending machine. So I helped them out...by opening it and telling them to take whatever. Then Mrs.Brown saw so I ran."

"And left your partner in crime back at the scene? Tsk tsk."

He shook his head at me.

"Okay well he gave me the go ahead so...do you have food in here? I'm hungry."

"I have Milano's, with your name in them."

He took the cookie bag out if his desk and handed them to me.

"Thank you panda."
