"Whatever." Catalina walks over to her desk, she looks over her shoulder and looks at Monica. "Que onda? Mona." Monica nods her head upward, as she chuckles.
"Sup Cat. I thought you were gonna be a no show today?" Joey, chuckles and turns to look at the teacher.
"Joey, would you want to take a trip to the office?" Mrs. Delmar hands Catalina a detention slip.
"This is bullshit." Catalina murmurs, as she reads the slip.
The class begins to chuckle, as they look at Catalina and Mrs. Delmar. "Excuse me?" Mrs. Delmar looks at Catalina.
"Detention? Really? I'm late to your class, cause I can't stand the look of you! Now I have to spend another hour of my day with YOU?" Catalina sighs heavily. "Don't be a bitch! Just send me to the office instead."
"Get out of my classroom!"
As Catalina gets up, she looks at the teacher and smirks. "My pleasure! Gash." She walks out the classroom and slams the door shut. "What a bitch." She skips down the hall, and stops in front of another classroom door. She looks through the small window, and spots Eva. "Eva!" She waves. Mr. Johnson walks up to the other side of the door and looks at Catalina. "Oh, hi Mr. Johnson. Sup?"
He opens the door. "Why aren't you in class? Cat."
"I think I was sent to the office, but who knows."
"Then go to the office. My students are in the middle of a quiz."
"Quiz? No, shit." She pokes her head in the classroom. "Good luck, prima." She looks at her cousin, Eva.
Another student looks up at Catalina. "Cat. Why must you always interrupt. Some of us are actually here to learn."
Catalina smirks. "Oh, I'm sorry Mrs. Veronica Pope! I must of forgotten, that daddy's little princess actually gives a fuck. Guess what though, I don't! At least not about your black ass!"
"Hey! Cat, go to the office. Now!" Mr. Johnson, booms out as he looks at Catalina.
"I was just on my way there." Catalina turns on her heel, and continues to skip her way to the office. As she enters she sees Esai sitting down with his hands hand cuffed in front of him. She examines his face and notices his black eye. "What happened with you? Little Alvarez." She takes a seat next to him, as she looks at him and laughs.
He looks at her and smirks. "Got into it, with Tank. He's been asking for it."
"Donnie 'Tank' Wayne? Laroy's little big brother?" Catalina shakes her head. "That boy ain't right. Your dad is gonna be pissed! Have they called him?" She watches as Esai hangs his head low and nods. She chuckles as she rubs his back. "Don't worry, I'll be present at your funeral."
"Yea. Thanks." Esai looks up at her and smirks. "What are you here for?"
"I don't know how to keep my mouth shut." She shrugs her shoulders. "Let's see what Mr. Duarte has to say, today." She chuckles lightly. "It's only been two months, since I've been attending this school. And I've already visited this office a total of one dozen times."
Esai laughs. "You're crazy, Cat. But that's why I like you. You're cool, different. I like that."
Catalina looks into his eyes and smiles. "You better like me. Seeing as lately you been, making me take the fall for you. Whenever your dad catches us ditching class."
"Hey, it's OK though. He likes you, he won't ever get mad at you. He says your cool, down to earth. Eres firme. Free spirited, crazy. He likes that shit." Esai looks down at his hands. "You're actually the first friend, that he allows in the clubhouse. That says a lot."
Catalina sits up straight, with her chin up high. "I'm just a bad ass ruca!" She chuckles, as she nudges Esai on his ribs. "Your dad. He's a cool vato. I like that he's been watching out for me. It's appreciated."
"Esai!" Alvarez steps in the office. He looks down at his son, and lifts his chin up. "Who were you fighting with?"
"Tank. He's been running his mouth, again. I had to shut him up."
"Did you?"
Esai smirks at his dad. "They have him in the infirmary. What does that say?"
Catalina chuckles and pats Esai on his back. "Get 'em killa." She looks up at Alvarez, and puts a hand over her mouth. She looks away as she tries to control her laughter. "I. I should go look for the principal." She gets up off her seat.
Alvarez puts his hand on her shoulder. "Why are you here?" He looks into her eyes, and notices the amusement in them. "What did you do this time?"
She looks up at the ceiling. "Nothing. The teachers. They don't like me." She bites her bottom lip, as she tries to hold in her laughter. She looks into his eyes and chuckles. "My mouth seems to get me into trouble."
Alvarez looks at her, as he tilts his head. He knows how blunt she can be. It's something that he likes about her. She just needs to know how to control it during school hours. Which is quite a mission impossible, for the young teen. "What's so funny? Gatita."
Catalina puts a straight face on, as she clears her throat. "Nothing." She runs her hand through her hair, and looks away. 'This Vato, drives me crazy. In a good way, though.' She thinks to herself.
Mr. Duarte, walks up to Catalina. "Cat. Mrs. Delmar, tells me that you keep arriving five minutes late to her class and today you were being disrespectful, towards her. You said and I quote... 'This is Bullshit. I can't stand the look of you. Don't be a bitch' and you called her a 'Gash'. Why would you talk to a teacher like that?"
Catalina looks at Alvarez and back at Mr. Duarte. "That's what she gets. The bitch has it out for me. I don't like her. She can suck cock and die."
Esai burst into laughter. Alvarez looks at Catalina sternly and shakes his head. Mr. Duarte grabs her by her arm. "That's it! I've had it..."
Alvarez pushes the principal away from her. "Keep your hands off of her!"
Mr. Duarte motions for security to come in. They grab a hold of Alvarez. "You need to leave the school grounds, Sir."
Catalina runs up to one of the security guards and punches him on his jaw. "Don't touch him!"
The other security guard let's go of Alvarez and grabs Catalina and puts her in hand cuffs. "Call her legal guardians. Mrs. Vellenueva, you are being detained and will be taken to jail for..."
"Assault! I know. Mr. Duarte, you should call Sheriff Unser, why you're at it." Catalina chuckles, as she takes a seat next to Esai. "Just another day in my life."
Alvarez squats down in front of Catalina. "Why did you do that?"
"Because, they shouldn't be touching you like that. I'd do the same for Clay and the rest of SAMCRO. It's disrespectful!" She looks at Esai and smirks. "Wouldn't you have done the same?"
Esai nods his head. "Of course!" He turns to look at his dad. "They shouldn't be putting their hands on you. You were only stating the truth. Mr. Duarte doesn't have the right to be putting his hands on students."
Alvarez looks at Catalina and cups her face. "I'll let Clay know, that I'll be the one to bail you out." In some way, he knew that Catalina has some type of pull on him. He just couldn't quite put his mind onto how, or what it was about her, that made him go out of his way for her.
Catalina, smiled as she nod her head, and looked into his eyes. There was something about him, that she really liked. When the security staff tried to take him out of the school. It made her blood boil. Why? She wasn't sure, but she'd be damned if they thought they would get away with it. She was willing to look out after him, just as he looked out for her.
