(Maria's POV)
"Ok, so who in this school have you not dated and broke up with?" I asked jokingly trying to make Alicia feel better, and it did sort of.
"Bring out the year book, lets find out." Alicia said. Every one seemed to loosen up now that she looked better. So Brie got out the yearbook and we went through talking about each guy, but we didn't even bother with the ones we've crossed out, as we all knew that they've been the worst to us and we categorized them under the name of criminals. For Brie it was of course, Sam the one who raped her and left her alone pregnant. For Lucia, it was Brant the dude who tried to kill her younger brother. For me it was Chris, he locked me up in a closet and starved me for half a month. And for Alicia it was Travis, he poisoned her and tried to kill her best guy friend, Romeo, and would have succeeded if we had gotten him to the hospital 3 seconds later.
"Felipe?" I asked.
"6th grade, wouldn't talk to me after I started going out with him." Alicia answered.
"Mateo?" I asked.
"Nope, and I won't go out with him either, he's all Lucia's" and Lucia gave her a wide grin.
"Sergio?" I asked.
"Yep, the beginning of this year, he cheated on me"
"Hmmm. Patricio?"
"Yep, he was right after Felipe, and he was just a little loco"
"Josue?"
"Our voice teacher?" she inquired, surprised
"No, Barnhart," I replied.
"Oh… ummm, nope haven't gone with him yet,"
"Esteban?"
"Nope not him either"
"Good" I said, "he's mine," and we all laughed.
"Good luck," Brie wished me.
"To bad he's not in 'no batteries included'" Lucia said "Then you'd see him more often."
"He might not be but Conchito is?" Alicia responded making a blush rise to my face. I was secretly crushing on him; and they seemed to think that they had it all figured out.
"Get on with it," said Lucia impatiently, "there's a lot of guys to go through."
"Gleindies?"
"Heck no, Ewe!"
"Nicholas"
"He's moving remember, and long distance relationships never work" When I finally got to Carlos, everyone except for Alicia went into a fit of giggles, and she sat there dumbstruck.
"What is this all about?" she asked we only giggled harder. "Ok, I'm going upstairs to get around for today, hopefully you'll have yourselves sorted out when I get down." So she went upstairs. Little did she know this convo was going on down below her.
"She is trying soo hard not to like him" Lucia said through a fit of giggles.
"I know." I said.
"I wonder when she's gonna realize that he likes her back?" Brie asked and I looked at her.
"So, you've noticed too?" I asked.
"Of course," answered Lucia this time, "anyone and everyone, except her of course, can see it, of course it never hurt to have a little inside confirmation."
"He told you?" Brie asked.
"No but hey can I help it that my ears attract gossip, I just happened to pass his locker the other day, and he just happened to be standing there talking to Mateo," we all grinned, "Mateo," she continued, "and Carlos, were talking about Alicia, and Mateo was teasing Carlos because he liked her, stuff like he'd have to get in line and crud, and I caught a glimpse of her picture in his locker." We all began to giggle again, and then quickly composed ourselves as Alicia came down the stairs in her fav colors Pink and Blue, a pink and denim halter with jean capris.
"Ya'll better get ready we only have half an hour till school starts and I still need someone to help me with my hair and make-up." she tells us. "Yes I do know how to do my hair and make-up but today, I'm tipping the ends of my hair, and I'm still not quite an expert on everything to do with make-up."
