2 Chapter 2 : La vida

Summer: a time where you can relax and have adventures that would last a life time.

Alejandro Contreras, or Alex for short. He was the son of 2 immigrated parents that came to California, 20 years ago. They had moved many times attempting to find the solem place they call home. Alex's Dad, Pablo was a farmer,mechanic, constructor, everything you can think of but he worked on planting, mowing,and collecting crops on the fields along side Maria, Alex's mom.

Alejandro only had one job : estudiar y correr. But he didnt like the idea of going home and seeing his dad lay on the couch with blisters the size of large circle on his feet and arms. He didn't like to see his mom cry to sleep. He didn't like to see his little sister come back from school late with dirt on her shirt and shoe prints on her jeans.

He didn't like to see suffering and pain because he would feel devastated. Like he wasn't good enough to help his family.

Alejandro and Elenoara had the same life. Elonora's parents came from Mexico a couple years back and worked in the fields just like his parents but they didn't fit in just that easy. Elenoara's sister, Angelica had a set plan to go to college and escape the fields but it was all ruined when she went out with her friends on graduating night. She was jumped and raped. She had a 3 year daughter and bearly surviving trying to feed and maintain her alone.

Alejandro wasnt like all the other kids. He was tall around 5.7 and a white face with colored blue and green eyes, with red blush cheeks that would turn red when he was embarrassed. He never had the best clothes but what we wore was always mature and cute for his age.

Elenoara was the same as all the other girls nada especial. She had a white face with large brown eyes, and long brown hair that she wore in a ponytail when running. She was around 5.2 and was well developed compared to the other skinny girls.

"Porque me miras asi??!!" Elenora responded with barre pearly white smile. Alejandro was trying to hard to restrain himself and pull himself up from Elenoara when he heard her voice. With his white large smile he responded.

" Cuidate okay. You expose way too much and I don't think you should wear this while running" Alejandro looked at her white creamy legs that were exposed and were bright in the sun. Her forehead was covered in beads of sweat that made her hair stick to the sides of her face. He couldn't take it no more. He lifted himself off of her leaving her in daze on the floor.

The coach, principal, and the girls ran just in time to see Julio on the floor coughing from the cuts in his mouth and Elenoara sitting up. Alejandro left just in time and was now in the hall way. His heart was at ease but he could not take the image of her eyes out of his mind. Her voice replaying over and over again in his head as if he was right next to him.

He couldn't not be falling for her so easily.
