I leaned against the wall near Enrique's car repair shop thinking about the new girl, Ariana. Even though she was Latina, she came from the north side, the rich people side.

"Thinking about the new girl, aren't ya?" Paco asked, interrupting my thinking.

"You loco? Of course not, pendejo." I faked.

"You better not. She's out of your league...but she is una Bonita Mexicana." Paco said.

"She's Dominicana...and Mexican. And if I wanted to get at her, I could. She's not my type." I said casually.

"Who's loco now? You like her, man. I bet you can't get into her panties in a week." Paco jokes.

I like challenges, and as stupid as the bet was, I couldn't pass it up.
"I can do it in two months." I said.

Paco stared at me hard.
"Forreal?" He asked me.

"Yo soy serio." I stated.

"If you lose...then I get Julio." Paco said.

I looked at my sweet motorcycle. I can't believe I'm doing this.

"Deal." I said after thinking over it.

Paco opened up a beer and drowned himself with it. I leaned my head against the wall until I saw someone walking across the street nearby. This was Blood territory, and unknown people were not allowed. I was about to go scare the person off until I saw the face. It was Ariana from school. Her hood didn't completely cover her face. What the heck was she doing in the south side? She ducked into an alley and soon disappeared into darkness. Now I was curious, but I was also wondering if my curiosity will give me more than what I bargain for.
