Chapter One: Under The Moon

**Laying in an open field under the gorgeous dark purple blue sky letting our minds run. With just one glace of the brightest most beautiful moon you could ever image. The sky so clear and bright that you could pretend to be in a ball, dancing your night away.

"Wow, aren't these stars the most beautiful ones you guys have ever seen?" Dee questioned Chloe and I. We have been best friends and have been together for a long time now. Even though I know Dee a bit longer, Chloe came along when I needed someone.

"Girl I know its the most beautimous sky I have ever seen in my life," Chloe yelled. Chloe loves to say the world "*Beautimous*", we got use to it. It basically means "*most beautiful*" for us of course.

"Yes, I agree," I responded with tears running down my checks.

"Mariana are you okay? What's wrong? Did someone hurt you? Do we need to hurt them, too," they kept asking me. Like if they knew what was really going on inside my head.

"Nothing I promise. I was just thinking about the moment and well you know me. I cry over anything," I told them. They knew I just trying to cover what I really felt and what was really going on. By giving them an answer, that was the total opposite.

"Mariana, really!! You can't lie to us. You know that. We have been friends for so long now. We know when you are lying to us. Come on please tell us," they said with cute puppy face. You know that face you put on when you want something and your parents don't want you to have it. Whatever you are asking them for. Well that is the face they are making.

"Come on. You know you want to tell us. Plus because you love us so much you will tell us, right?" Chloe kept insisting.

"Yeah, because I love you guys and you guys love me you guys will respect my decision," I say it as my voice breaks with hurt.

"Fine but it is not good to hide you emotions," Dee said with a sad voice.

"You need to let them out and allow your best friends to help," Chloe said under her breath. Yet loud enough for me to hear word for word to what she had just said.

"Okay. Okay. I will tell you but promise you guys will not do anything," I responded.

"B\-but what if someone \-" Dee interrupted me.

"Please promise me. That this stays here and no one will know about it." I said with hurt in my eyes, tears still running down. I felt like I couldn't breath. As if the sky was coming down on my chest.

"Fine we pinky promise," they snapped extending out their pinky.

"Well it has to do with Rodrigo" I whispered as I sat up, Indian style. I continued "Rodrigo \-"

"Your boyfriend, what happened it he okay?" they asked having a worried face as the sat up, too.

"Can you guys let me finish. He is perfectly fine." I responded quickly as if I wanted to get it over with.

"Oh we know he is perfectly fine," they giggled as they were saying it.

Rodrigo is a very good looking man with light skin, with dark brown (K-Pop looking hair), hazel grey eyes, 5 feet 10 inches tall. He also had abs, an Adam's Apple and a well formed jaw line. His style is very simple but fancy and no I do not mean classy. Rodrigo loves to show off and pretend he comes from a wealthy family. When in reality his family is just like mine. Except I am the oldest of six children my mother has.

"Well yes he maybe fine looking and all but he is jerk. Anyways today my brother called and asked me to meet up with him. So that I could give him advice since he is trying to ask a girl he like out. I told him it was fine\-," I started.

"Wait who asked you? Was it Marco, Diego or Dylan for girls advice," they both said with excitement. As they interrupt me again.

"Will you guys just let me finish? You guys want to know what is wrong and you keep interrupting me," I exclaimed.

"Sorry," Chloe responded as she laid back down on the field.

"I am sorry, too. I promise we won't interrupt you anymore okay," Dee added.

"As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted. Marco was the one who asked me for advice-," I carried on.

"WHAT! Marco as in your brother the cassanova," they shouted from the top of their lungs.

"Really," I remarked as I stared at them with my right eyebrow raised.

"Sorry. Sorry. We will shut up," they mumbled.

"Anyways. Yes, Marco called and asked for advice. He likes a girl and he has no idea how to ask her on a date. So we decided to meet up at a café near campus. As soon as I got there. I saw Rodrigo flirting with another girl. His friends were around him laughing at what he was doing. I ignored it and pretended he was not there. Marco walked in and most of the girls stare at him. He noticed and gives them a smirk with a wink.(He was wearing nike night tops with ripped jeans. Along with a grey hoodie, a leather jacket and a gold chain.) Marco sits in front of me. We start talking. That is when Ethan (Rodrigo's Best friend) saw me, tapped on Rodrigo's shoulder and slightly pointed at me." I snapped.

"Hey are you okay?" Dee wondered.

"Oh yes. Sorry." I responded as I remember what happened that afternoon. "After that Rodrigo came over and started to scream at my brother. Saying that I was taken and that he should stay away from girls with a boyfriend. My brother stood up grab me by my arm and said 'Let's go'. I stood up and well Rodrigo yanked me from my arm and yell 'She is my girlfriend and is not going anywhere with you'. I shook him off and walked out of the café with Marco. At that point Rodrigo and his group of friends walked out."

As I continued to tell them Chloe had sat up and looking at me with her eyes wide open. Dee also with her eyes wide as she started at me. As if she was watching an action movie. "Rodrigo ran after my brother and grab him by his jacket. Marco turned around facing him. They were only inches away from each other. Letting the tensions raised between them with all eyes on them**."
