Dom's POV
Oh shit it's 10 in the morning. Guess I woke up late. The house is quite, I know Mia's at summer school. Leave it to Mia to go to summer school, she said she was going 'cause she wanted to get ahead on her classes. My dad is out at the track practicing for his race in a couple of weeks. Vince is out of town visiting his mom in Vegas. That means I am all alone in the house. It also means that I wont have nothing to do for the next few hours or days for that matter, since it is summer vacation. There was no way that I was going to summer school, so I decided to stay home. Sometimes I go to the garage to help out, but today it's closed. I think I will get out of bed now. I look out the window to see what the weather will be like today. I see Lettys house in the distance, which sends a chill up my spine. I wonder what she is doing today, I know for a fact that she is not at school. I haven't seen her in weeks, maybe we can go out or something.
I don't know why I am so drawn to her. I feel a need to protect her from everything. She's different then all the other girls I have met, especially Mia's friends. Letty doesn't care about her looks or what she likes. For a 10 year old she acts more mature then her age. I know that she is 10 and I'm 12, but she is just a great person, that makes me want to hang around her all the time. I think Letty and I can become good friends. I better get ready and go see what Let is up to.
Once I'm ready I lock the doors and head to Letty's house. I knock on the door and a men answers, I assume that he's Letty's father. "Can I help you?" he looks me up and down. "Yeah, um is Letty home?" I ask hoping that he wont want to kill me for asking for his daughter. "Leticia, te buscan!" Leticia, someone's looking for you "she's coming." he says leaving into the back of the house. I see Letty walking down the stairs in her pajamas. "Hey." she says coming down the stairs faster. "Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to go somewhere or do something with me." I say hoping she wont reject me. "Yeah sure. I just have to change and tell my dad." she pauses and looks at me. "Come on lets go to my room." she grabs my hand and pulls me up to her room before I can say anything.
We walk in and its not what I thought it would look like. Her room is plain white, it has a twin bed, a nightstand and one burrow. I walk over to a shelf where she has a model of a Nissan 240 SX. "You like this car?" I ask her. She turns to look at it and her face lights up. "Yeah, I want to have one of those someday." She grabs her clothes and heads to the bathroom. I look around and see a picture of her family. Her mom, dad, what I think might be her brothers and her sister Dahlia. I wonder where they are at 'cause the house seems too quite for a family this big. I put the frame back right when Letty walks in.
She's a total tomboy. "Ok, am done." she says smiling. I am amazed that it only took her 10 minutes to get ready, it would take Mia an hour. She looks at me again "where are we going to go?" she asks looking at the floor. "I don't know maybe we can figure it out as we head somewhere?" I look at her for her response she nods. "I just have to go tell my dad." She walk out the door and I follow her. We walk into the kitchen where her father is looking at some papers.
"Papa puedo salir?" Dad can I go out? she says but I can't understand a word she is saying. "Adonde van a ir?" Where are you going? Her father says something that I don't understand. "No se." I don't know Her father turns around and looks at me. "What's your name young men?" I look at him and then at Letty, "Dominic Toretto." I thought that he didn't speak English. "Where do you plan to take my daughter to?" "Um, I'm not sure yet, but I promise that I will take good care of her." I look at her father in the eye. "Puedes ir." you can go he turns to look at Letty. "Gracias papa" thanks dad she gives him a hug and he kisses her on the forehead. She grabs my arm and we head out the door.
"So what was that about?' I ask as we head down the empty street. "what do you mean? I was just asking if I could go out with you." she says looking around the street. "No, I mean the talking in Spanish. Why do you talk to your dad in Spanish, when he speaks English?" "Oh, my dad doesn't want me to forget how to speak in Spanish. So he told me to start talking to him in Spanish and that he would only talk to me in Spanish." We crossed the street and stop in front of the bus stop. "So big boy where we going?" I laugh at the way she asks. "I don't know man. How 'bout we go take a ride on the bus?" she looks at me thoughtfully. "Oook," she says slowly, "We are just going to ride and get off where exactly?" she says with her eyebrow raised. "Uh, we could go to The Grove." I say looking at her. The bus arrives, we get in and sit down.
"Don't you have a sister and brothers?" I ask her. She quickly looks away from me and stays quiet. I wonder what the problem is.
