Chapter Two
'' What am I going to do?,'' Maritza asked herself. Herself answered,
'' Let things play out. We know he's going for the gun, so we'll be there when it all
happens. Calm down.''
'' Calm down, easy for you to say, you're not trying to save YOUR best friend!,'''
Maritza told herself.
'' Oh yes, I am! You think if I didn't care that I would have worked for an entire YEAR
to find a way to help? Huh? I am here to make sure his world doesn't crumble into
pieces. That HE doesn't crumble. Because when he goes, you go with him. That's
right missy, like it or not, Bosco's all you've got.Heck, the only reason you make
friends with Sasha Munroe is because you got stuck on a detail with her. You never
would have gotten to know her on your own! And the only reason you got to know
Bos, is because HE put the effort out. Putting up with your crap,'' The future Maritza
paused, and took deep breath,'' And when you get to be me, you make it worse.
Then you try to fix it, but you can't. You can't do that. You've got to take better care of
your friends while you have them, because once they're gone, they're gone. I learned
that the hard way. I hope you won't too.''
Maritza was silent, taking it in that herself had just told her off. That was probably the
weirdest thing that had EVER happened to her.And a lot of strange things had
happend to her.
'' Okay, I believe you. It's just taking some time to register that you're me,'' Maritza
explained to her future self.
'' Yeah sure.''
