A/N: I am so happy that people liked my story! Now time to see what happens and how it happens ^_~ sorry my reviewers but I can't answer any questions for if I did I would ruin everything ^^ but don't worry it will all be worth the wait and I hope you all enjoy this chapter!

****before we begin I want to say this****

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBIN! I FREAKING LOVE YOU!

Okay now we can continue.

Chapter 1: When I first saw you I already knew

When I first saw you
I never thought I would love you
At all, or at least as I do now
I don't know when it happened or how

When we were best friends, all we did was hang out, laugh, and joke
Never did I stutter, or choke
Until just this year, I don't know why
I became extremely shy
I look at you and look away
For I don't know what to say

Now it's the last day of school
Everyone thinks this day is so cool
But not for me
For it is today, that I see
How dumb I'm being, acting
While I'm hiding, last year we'd be talking

August 9th First day of Kindergarten

"Okay sweetie it is your first day of school make sure you behave, that you sit up straight and that you do not cause trouble for your teachers, I want them all to think that you were raise properly."

My big blue eyes look into my mother's, it was so like her to try and make me look like a perfect young girl. I could never act like a normal kid because if I did she would yell at me. My mom smoothed my shirt from any wrinkles, fixed my hair and made sure none of it was sticking out.

"My, my, look at you Brittany, you look so beautiful."

I looked up to see one of my mom's friends, she would always gush about me to her friends and they would always tell my mom that she was lucky to have a well behave child.

"Of course she is, she is my daughter after all." I really hated when she did that.

My mom and her friend were talking nonsense; I decided to let my eyes wonder to see if I could find anyone who could be my friend.

"Bye mommy, dad, I'll see you after school!" a childish voice said. I turn my head to see a boy my age kissing a beautiful woman and hugging a man.

"Bye Alejandro, please behave for your teachers,"

"Now, now mi vida (my life), this is my son you are talking about, he will be a hand full for all his teachers, won't you Alejo?" the man said.

The boy known as Alejandro smiled at his parents and said in a cute boyish voice,

"Don't worry mama; I will make sure I am well behave." The woman turn and gave the man a smug look, the man rolled his eyes and kissed her on his cheek. Even though it was a simple kiss I could see all the love that was behind that simple kiss. The man and woman turn to their son and they kissed his cheek and ruffled his hair.

"Have a good day at school sweetie," the woman said.

"And try not to get in trouble,"

"I will, bye mama, papa." The boy then ran to the building where he met another boy his age and they both began to talk about something. I envied him; he had parents that loved him for him. Not because he was something they wanted him to be. I wished my mom was like that.

"Well off we go, have a good day Brittany," with that she left without a kiss good bye.

I took a deep breath and headed for the building, I then tripped on something. I got up and turn to see a girl with blond hair, she glared at me.

"Watch where you're going loser," she said in a mean way.

"Wh-what?"

"Wh-what, oh my gosh can you be any dumber? Hey everyone we have a dummy head," she shouted loud enough for everyone to hear. All the kids turn to look at me and begin to point and call me dummy head. Tears threaten to fall but I refuse but they wouldn't stop so I began to cry.

"Oh look now we have a dummy cry baby!" the kids began to chant dummy crybaby while pointing at me, tears continue to fall along with some snot which made the kids laugh. I try whipping my tears and my snot but the teasing just got worse. Could this get any worse? I highly doubt that.

"Hey leave her alone!" my blue eyes went up and I saw the boy standing in front of me blocking me from all the other kids' views.

"Why?" the blond who started this said.

"Because Darlene if you don't I am going to tell everyone that you still wet the bed." He said, the girl known as Darlene turn to see all the other kids laughing at her.

"No I never did that,"

"Bed-wetter, bed-wetter, Darlene is a bed wetter." The boy said everyone began to chant that. He then turn to me and offered his hand to me. I took it as he lifted me off the ground. By now the kids have left us alone.

"Are you okay?" he asks his voice full of concern. I nodded my head, whipping my tears away.

Alex's point of view few minutes ago

After I said good bye to my parents I ran to my best friend Paco. We both started joking around saying how we were going to cause a lot of trouble for our teacher and that we felt sorry for her.

"Watch where you're going loser," we both turn to see who said that. It was Darlene and some other gringa (white girl) the girl was on the floor looking both shock and scared.

"Wh-what?" she said as if she didn't hear her.

"Wh-what, oh my gosh can you be any dumber? Hey everyone we have a dummy head," she shouted loud enough for everyone to hear. All the kids turn to look at her and begin to point and call her dummy head. I could tell that she was about to cry but she held her ground and try her best not to cry in front of her.

"Oh man, Alejo looks like there is about to be a cat fight," Paco said. I smacked him across his head.

"Oh look now we have a dummy cry baby!" Darlene said. I guess she couldn't take it no more and began to cry as the other kids began to make fun of her. I hated when people got picked on, it made me sick to my stomach and I hated to see someone cry, especially a girl. Without thinking I ran to her side. I push people out of my way and stood in front of her.

"Hey leave her alone!" I yelled at the top of my lounges. Paco stared at me as if I lost my mind which I probably did since I was protecting this gringa (white girl) but I didn't care, for some reason I wanted to protect this girl.

"Why?" Darlene said, I wanted to hurt her twice as bad as she did to her. I decided to form a little white lie.

"Because Darlene if you don't I am going to tell everyone that you still wet the bed." I said she looked at me in shocked. All the other kids started to laugh and point at her. Ahh sweet revenge how I love you.

"No I never did that," she said trying to deny it, but I will not let her go off easy.

"Bed-wetter, bed-wetter, Darlene is a bed wetter." I said, everyone began to chant that. Darlene ran from the kids and everyone started to go away. I turn to the little blond girl. I offered her my hand and was glad she took it. I lifted her up as easy as pie.

"Are you okay?" I asked my voice full of concern. She nodded her head, whipping her tears away.

"Ye-yes I-I am fi-fine," she said I could tell she still wanted to cry. Without thinking I wrapped my arms around her and pull her into a hug. I was a little happy that she didn't pull away and the fact that she wrapped her arms around me as well.

"Uhh Alejandro?" we both turn to see my partner in crime aka Paco. The girl and I pull back with a huge blush on our faces.

"Sorry about that," I said scratching the back of my head.

"Its' fine," she said with a cute blush.

"I'm Alejandro," I said I then turn to Paco and laugh at his expression telling me to introduce him as well.

"And this is my best friend Paco,"

"Hi Paco, Alejandro, I'm Brittnay,"

We all smile at each other.

"Thank you Alejandro for saving me,"

"No problem I hated when someone gets picked on," I said with complete honesty. She smiled at me and even though she still had tears running down her face I couldn't help but see the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

"You're so pretty," I said without thinking. Brittany turned a light pink color and could help but think how pretty she looked.

"Que linda," how pretty)

She gave me a look of confusion and I quickly shook my head.

"He said that you look pretty," Paco said, I wanted to hit him for saying that, couldn't he just lie?

"Oh, thank you," she then laughs, it was a cute laugh it sounded like bells. Paco and I laugh along with her.

"Say do you guys want to be friends?" She asked us. Paco and I looked at each other and nodded our heads.

She smiled at us and I could help but thinking how much I love that smile. I then promise myself that I would protect that smile on her face and make sure that she would keep on smiling.

Brittany's point of view

I smiled at my two new friends and was happy that I made some on the first day.

"All right children let's get inside," the three of us looked at each other. Alejandro took my left hand, and Paco took my right hand. We both shared a smiled and headed to the school hand in hand.

When we got in the teacher told us to sit where ever we wanted. The three of us sat in the back which had three seats. I looked to see Darlene and another girl she was trying her best to comfort her and I felt sorry for her. I was about to go up to her and apologize to her about what happened but Alejandro stopped me.

"She only wants attention Brit, just leave her be."

"But,"

"He's right Brit, you don't know Darlene as soon as everyone starts to feel sorry for her she would get over it," Paco said.

"Okay," I said as I sat down.

"Okay class, I want everyone to tell me your names," she said. Everyone began to tell their names, it then came to our table. The three of us stood up.

"I'm Paco,"

"I'm Alejandro,"

"I'm Brittany," I then wrapped my arms around both of them and said with a proud voice.

"We are friends,"

Alex's point of view

Brittany wraps her arms around me and Paco and pulls us closer to her, then with a proud voice she says, "We are friends," I could see that sweet smile of hers and as long as she had it I was okay with it. I smiled with her along it Paco.

"Yep," Paco said.

"The best of friends," I said with a huge grin.

The three of us begin to laugh at our stupidity, it felt nice to laugh with them and I knew that the two of them have become my second family, two people that I would cherish for the rest of my life. I know it was too soon but I didn't care at all.

The teacher smiled at us as we sat down. We started to do work which was boring but it was school, after that we all went outside to go and play. Paco went to go play soccer while Brittany and I went to the swings, she sat down and I went behind her and began to push her. She started giggling and I couldn't help but love it. I knew I was going to have a good year with her.

October 31 Halloween

It has been three months since we have been at school. Three months since Brittany, Paco, and I became friends. They were the best months of my life. Paco and I would always play pranks on the children and Brittany would always be the one who bail us out of trouble. Brittany was one of those girls that had to behave, she told me that her mom wanted her to be a little miss perfecta (perfect) which sucked but for us was an advantage. Whenever someone thought it was us Britt would tell the teacher it wasn't us and she was with us the whole time, the teacher believe her since Britt never got into trouble. Now that didn't mean she didn't pull prank with us, it was mainly on Colin or as I like to call him burro (jackass) since Colin would always call me a loser or tell Britt that I had lice. I would always make sure that he had a horrible 'accident' after that. Darlene never bother her again mainly because Britt was always with us, and if I saw her shed one tear Darlene would without a doubt pay.

After the second month of school Britt made a new friend, her name was Isabella of course Paco and I already knew her and she was glad to have a new friend, after her, Britt made another friend her name was Sierra, I did not like her. She would always take Britt away from me and that would get me mad. Britt and I became real close since the first day. She would always come to my house of course her mother didn't know, but her sister Shelly did. She was cool with it and approve of our friendship unlike her mother would. Her father was also okay with it.

When we first got to my house mi'ama told me if she was my little girlfriend, I shouted no while she just blush and refuse to look at me. Mi papa came in the room and told us how cute we looked together and told me when the wedding was? I blushed and looked away. My younger brother Carlos came running into the room to see what was happening. He looked at Britt and said the words I dreaded to hear.

"So are you Alejo's girlfriend," needless to say Carlos and I got grounded since we both started to fight. When we were in my room she laughed at me saying she loved Carlos. I began to tickle her and told her not to tell anyone about what happen. She laughed so hard I doubted that she could get a word out. Now it was Halloween and both Paco and I were at my cousin's house. Enrique agreed to take me, Paco, Carlos, and Britt trick-or-treating; I think he just wanted to come because Britt's older sister was coming along with us. I wasn't stupid I knew my cousin had a thing for her sister. Who could blame him? She was a cutie, well not as cute as her sister but still cute. We heard beeping and turn to see my Britt and her sister getting out of the car.

"Hi Alejo," yeah she started calling me that.

"Hey Britt wow you look great," she blushed at me and did a little twirl for us to see her costume.

I could tell that she was a princess the tiara said it all. Her hair was done in a French hair braid making her look like a real princess.

"So do you guys know what I am supposed to be?" Paco and I shared a look and said in Spanish,

"Una princessa," (a princess) she laughed and nodded her head. We've been teaching her Spanish.

"And may I ask what you guys are?" she looked at us trying to figure it out.

"We're gurreros," Paco said.

"What's that?" her face full of confusion.

"Mexican warriors," I said. She laughed at that.

"So the princess is going trick-or-treating with Mexican warriors that could hurt her?" We laughed at that.

"Don't worry Britt this Mexican Warrior is going to protect you until his dying breath," I said.

She hugged me and kissed my cheek.

"Well then I guess the Mexican warrior is going to be protecting his princess," she said. She then looked at Paco.

"Are you going to be taking care of the princess Paco?"

"Nope, I plan to kidnap her from my enemy." He got his bow and arrow, and aimed it at us.

"Oh really?" I got my own bow and arrow. "Stay behind me princessa (princess)" She squeal and hid behind me

We three hours before we went trick-or-treating so we had plenty of time, whenever Paco came close Britt would run behind me and I would shoot him, when he shot me she would pick up the bow and arrow and shot him. After what felt like five minutes but was really two hours Shelly called us to come inside. We did and could see that she had a camera. "Okay kids its' picture time." The three of us got into possess as she took pictures. Britt and I took one. I wrapped my arms around her and pull her into a hug, she then kissed my cheek and Shelly took the picture. After one of her and Enrique we head out. We decided to get candy around our neighborhood, since we wouldn't be caught by her mom. We got a lot of candy; by the time we reached the eighth house we had our bags full. People gave out a lot of candy since the kids loved this holiday. Luckily for us Shelly brought more candy bags and put the other ones in her car. It was a good Halloween.

When we got home mi'ama and papa where waiting for us. Carlos ran to mi'ama and told her how he got a lot of candy. Shelly and Enrique got out the candy bags each of us got three.

"Thank you for taking them you guys." My father said.

"Our pleasure, right Enrique?" he blushed and mumbled a whatever.

We all laughed.

"Well we better get going since we are coming over here tommorow." Enrique turned to look at her.

"You guys are coming over?" he said with a hopeful expression

"Yep, Brittany wants to spent the day with Alejandro and Paco and I was going to go to the mechanic since I am having trouble with my car,"

"If you want I can have a look at it, you know free of charge." Shelly smiled her one hundred dollar smile.

"If you want to,"

"Of course I do,"

"Good then it's a date, come on Britt let's go home."

"Okay, bye Alejo, Paco."

"Bye Britt," we said in together.

After that we all headed inside for some rest.

November 16 the park/Brittany's point of view

We were sitting on the swings. The sun was setting and it looked so pretty. But the beauty of the sun couldn't take away the pain in our hearts. Alejandro's father was killed a week ago; they were having the funeral right now. I was sad because Alejo's father became like a second father to me and Shelly, when Enrique called us and told us what happen Shelly cried. We went to the Fuentes household and stayed there for the whole day. Alejandro told me what happen, that his father went to go do something and he was shot right in front of him. He cried in my arms the whole night and I refuse to let him go. I cried with him. I hated seeing my friend like this and I hated the fact that I lost someone real close to me. It pained me to see him like this. Alex's gripped on me tighten and he refused to let me go. I hated this; I hated not knowing what to say. After a while he calmed down and slept in my arms. I haven't left his side since then. Not that he would let me. Whenever Sierra would come and try to steal me away Alejandro would hold my hand in a firm grip and refused to let me go. I told Sierra that I would be with Alejandro for a while and told her I would play with her some other time.

We were both on the swings. I was wearing a black coat and black leggings while Alejo was wearing a black suit. Tears were running down our faces but we refuse to cry out loudly.

"Brittany?" I turn my head. Alejandro never called me that unless he was 'mad' but other than that he only call me Britt or some Spanish nickname.

"Ye-yes?" I was a bit nervous because he called me that.

"Don't leave me, everyone leaves so please don't leave me," he said desperately. I got off the swing and hugged him. The force of the hug was so tight that I doubt he could move his arms. I pull back and looked into his eyes.

"I promise Alejo, I would never leave you. I will always stay by your side no matter what. I promise you that I would stay until I die maybe even after that I will be by your side."

Alejo got off the swing and hugged me.

"I promise cariño I would never hurt you, I would make sure you are always smiling and that I would protect you. This is a promise of a life time."

"Thank you, my best friend,"

"You're welcome mi mejor Amiga," (my best friend)

From that day on Alex and I made a promise, a promise that would be the end of our friendship.

1 year later first grade/Alex's point of view

Paco, Britt, and I sat on the couch of my house watching some cartoon. We were eating some tacos when my mom came in with my little brother Luis.

"Hola niños," (hello children)

"Hola," the three of us said at the same time. We heard a car beep and knew that Enrique came to pick us up for school (Britt slept over) we said good bye to mi'ama and headed outside. We saw that Shelly was in the car with him. After my father's death Enrique had asked her out. She agreed to it and they have both been happy since then.

"Ready?" we nodded our heads. I looked out the window and saw some Latino Bloods. I joined after my father's death, Britt didn't approve but she learned to cope. When I was first jumped and she saw me she cried in my arms. Begging me not to get hurt, I promised I wouldn't get hurt. I am doing this to protect my family and her. She didn't want to hear anymore but agreed that as long as I was okay then I had her consent. We have gotten closer since then. Britt never left my side and I always protected her from all those bullies. Namely Darlene, I hated how they were always picking on her, but Paco and I made sure that she was safe.

We were silent for a while.

"I wonder what we are going to do today." Britt asked.

"The same boring shit," yeah Paco and I cuss now since we spent time with the Latino blood.

"Paco!" she wasn't use to that.

"Sorry Britt," she smacked his head. I laughed at him. She smacked me.

"What was that for?"

"For laughing at Paco," she said. Paco laughed at me. Once again she slapped Paco.

I wanted to laugh but knew better. When we got to school we ran to our spot and began playing soccer. Laughing and not thinking about tommorow

4 years later middle school sixth grade/ Alex's point of view

"Alex, Paco!" we both turn to see our best friend and my secret crush, Brittany Elise. Damn she look so fucking fine in that black skirt and white spagethie strap shirt, a grey leather jacket was over it. Her golden hair fell was let loose and fell to her mid back. All in all she looked good. She pulled us into a hug and kissed us on the cheek.

"Can you guys believe it? We are finally in middle school!"

"Yeah whoppie," Paco said with fake enthusiasm. Britt just smiled at him. I shook my head.

"Okay schedules people I need to see what classes we have together," we handed her our schedules and she checked to see what classes we had.

"Okay we have all classes together which is good, and Isa has the first three classes with us, and Sierra has the last two with us." She said. Paco and I groan. We hated Sierra and she hated us, she thought we were a bunch of bullies and scary that we were nothing but trouble. In third grade Paco and I skipped school since we had an early meeting with the Latino Blood and thought that Britt would be safe. How wrong we were. After school was finish Paco and I were chilling at my house waiting for her then the door burst open. Britt came running inside and ran into my arms. She cried like there was no tommorow.

"Britt, whats wrong?" I asked voice full of concern.

"Co-Collin wa-was," I pulled away from her the minute she said burro's (jack ass) name, she had a tiny scratch on her cheek and a small bruise on her arm, and a hand print on her left cheek. I could feel my blood boiling.

"Who did this to you!" she flinched slightly; she wasn't use to me being all mean and overprotective. Tough luck she better get used to it. Being in the LB made me realize that I had to protect ALL my loved ones; especially her.

"Collin thought it would be funny if he decided to start a fight with you, but after he slapped me he knew I wasn't lying about you and Paco not being here, he then left and said sorry." I squeezed her shoulder and pulled her into a hug. Both Paco and I nodded our heads. Burro face was going to die for laying a hand on her.

The next day Paco and I went looking for him. We told Isa to keep Britt away from the fight. I saw him and that bitch Darlene talking. I walked up to him.

"Burro face!" he turned to and glared at me expecting me to flinch. I just rolled my eyes.

"What do you want Fuentes?"

"Did you hurt Brittany?"

He looked at me and laughed, which made me even more mad.

"So what if I did? Not my problem that she can't take a punch."

"She's a girl! You never hit a girl pendejo!"

"Like I said, not my fault your slut can't take a punch." That did it, nobody call Brittany names and got away with it. I punched him and I practically kept on punching. I didn't care if my knuckles were bruising and begging me to stop, I didn't care if he was starting to bleed, I didn't care at all. All I cared about was the fact that he hurt Brittany and I wanted him to hurt just as badly. I then felt a hand on my fist and pulled me away. I turn to see Britt. Tears were falling from her face.

"Alex please stop, please," she wrapped her arms around me and cried. I hugged her and tried to comfort her.

Collin got up and glared at us. I glared right back. He slightly flinched and left.

"Are you okay?" I turn to see that she was worried about me. I laughed, I should be the one asking her that. I kissed her cheek.

"Are you?" she nodded her head.

"Good come on let's go to class." I got lucky that day and didn't get suspended but that didn't mean I was out of trouble. The teacher told me if I got into another fight I would be suspended. I tried hard not to fight but burro (jackass) kept pushing my buttons. Paco was the next one who fought him. Last year when they were walking the halls Collin got behind them He then pulled Britt's hair so hard that she fell backwards, while she was walking with Paco. He punched him and knocked him out. Paco viewed Britt as a little sister since she was one year younger than us. A teacher saw this and gave him a warning since Britt told her that he pulled her hair and Paco got mad at that. Britt's innocent was still a good advantage for us since it always got us out of trouble. Sierra found out what happen to Collin and thought it was our fault that Britt got hurt, we didn't care. Sierra was just another bitch that we hated.

"Hey don't be mean to her, she is trying to like you."

"Key word Britt trying she hates us and we hate her."

"Well I love you and I like her," when she said love a huge blush started to form but I quickly told myself that she loved me and Paco.

"There is a difference between love and like Britt."

"I know Paco but I just want us to get along." Not gonna happen but I didn't tell her that. Didn't want to see a sad face on her.

"Hey Brittany, how are you?" the three of us turn to see Collin checking her out. Britt never forgave him for getting me into trouble more than once. Half of the things he blamed me for weren't even my fault. But like I said Britt and her innocent face could always bail me out of anything.

"Umm…fine?" she looked at us for some help. I stepped up and grabbed her hand Paco grabbed the other one.

"Stay away from her burro face, I mean it."

I pulled her away from him and headed to class. This became a tradition for the three of us. The first day of school Paco would grab her right hand and I would grab her left and the three of us would head into the building together.

Once inside Paco and I saw some of our Latino Blood friends gesturing for us to come over. Britt saw this she pulled away and smiled a sad smile.

"Go I'll be fine,"

"Are you sure?" Paco asked big brother taking over. She nodded her head. She then went to go and sit in the middle row. She put both mine and Paco's bag next to her. She pulled out a book. I didn't have to look to know which book she pulled out; it was one of her favorite stories to read.

"I'll never understand how she likes those books," Paco said. I nodded my head and agreed with him.

"Yeah how can she like those Marked books is beyond me." We headed to the back and talked to Lucky and the other LB members. We talked until the bell rang, Paco and I headed for our seats.

"Damn Brit your almost finish with that book? You barley started yesterday,"

She looked up and smiled sheepishly.

"It's good okay? I happen to like how Eric is so sweet but turned out to be a total ass, and Zoey came to terms with her liking Stark," she said with a huge smile. We sat down and began to joke around until the teacher came in.

"Okay class welcome to English one, now I want you all to know that we will be choosing partners for a project. I have chosen who is with whom so none of you can fight about it." We all groan as she started reading names.

"Paco and Isabella," I could see Paco blushing along with Isa. Those two had it bad for each other.

"Brittany and Alex," I did a little victory dance in my head as she kept on reading. After that she explain the project and all the other bull shit. After that school went by like a blur.

"Want to hang out? Enrique finally opened up his shop and he wants to celebrate," Britt gave me her warm gentle smile.

"I know that was all Shelly was talking about last night, my parents are out for the rest of the week so if you want you can come over without sneaking in and out." I smiled.

"I prefer to sneak in," Britt's mom doesn't like me; she thinks I am a dirty Mexican that would take total advantage of her daughter. Total bull. So when she found out about me she made sure I stayed away. Yeah right, I would always sneak into her room and she would always sneak out. I love how we did that. When she found out about Enrique her mom flipped. But shelly didn't care she continue to see him even when she threaten to kick her out. She never did, Britt's mom cared about her reputation if people found out she kicked out her daughter they would start talking and she did not want that. So she put up with me and Enrique as long as we didn't do anything stupid. Her father didn't like the fact that Shelly was dating but as long as she was happy then he was okay.

She smacked me and laughs. We both headed out to the building hand in hand. I really wished that this was the real thing but I know we will only be friends well for now at least. Little did I know that our friendship was coming close to its' end.

The last day, last year,
You said goodbye, and now we're here

Will it ever be the same?
Will we ever just sit and talk, it used to be that way
Now I'm not sure it can come to be
For I am no longer the old me

I am shy, I am weak
Seemed to have broken my good-girl streak
The thing that keeps me going every day
Is that you look past all that and see me, the old way
You see me, and I see you, what's the problem, then?
I don't know, but I want to be the best friends we used to be

A/N: well there it is! Yes I know Shelly is suppose to be disable but I decided to have her a normal life. Trust me there is going to be a lot of drama between her and Enrique also I am going to be adding Kira into this story mainly because I love Kira and Carlos so much! So yeah if I get at least 5 reviews I will update next week if not then you will have to wait until I feel like updating again ^^

~Adios!

***********Happy 11/11/11 make a wish everyone! ^^***********
