After the class ends. I wait for the bus. While I was getting in the bus, I see Shane get into the same car with Cherie. ‘Wait its not what I am thinking it is right’ Shane is not the foster care kid that is living with Cherie Jaffe ?!?!? 

 well when I got home I see Cherie’s benz already parked in their driveway. My house looks like a room beside Cherie’s castle. But I love my home. Its small but cosy, something I can call a home. 

 Mom is out, and Juan is not home yet so isn’t Anna. I take out a can of Diet Coke. 

 I sit in my living room watching TV before getting started on my Home-work. I need to do well in school this year. Because if my junior year grades aren’t good then my dream of going to UCLA with scholarship would be shattered. But I have to attend this Cheerleader meeting at 7:30 pm. 

 I almost dozed off in my couch, until I was woken up by the sound of the lawn mower. I looked through my window to see Shane mowing the Jaffe’s big ass lawn with a manual lawn mower. 

 She was wearing a red baseball cap and a dirty half-sleeved white t-shirt that say’s "zero" on the back with a dark blue jean that was ripped in places. Not one of those jeans that was ripped from the store but it looked like it got ripped due to overuse. She was really skinny. She was busy pulling out some dead grasses off the ground. And I couldn’t help but stare at her skinny ass. 

       I didn’t notice when she looked at me looking and smiled and waved at me. I waved back and retired to my room. 

        So Shane is indeed the kid living with Cherie. I couldn’t imagine what Al would do when she comes of know about it. I took a nap and finished some school work. By the time it was 7 mom was back home and Juan was back with the car. So I could drive to school. I look out my window and see Shane is still working in the lawn, well the lawn was big. I don’t know why they are making Shane do this work. They have enough money to call some professional lawn people. 

 I go downstairs, and get the keys from the bowl and start my car. I reach the gym and see Cherie already there in her cheerleading costume. We talk about our plan for the year. Our instructor Ms. Shelby is really nice and understanding. We practiced some of our cheers. During break I look around and see that Shane is sitting on the bleachers on the other side of the gym where the basketball team was practicing. She was looking at their moves very intently. She was wearing the same sweatshirt from the morning. 

 ’are those the only clothes she owns?’ 

 Cherie catches me staring at the other side of the gym .

 Cherie: "you know its good to have someone loyal around you"

 I nod. 

 Carmen: "lets go girls"

  I grab a shower and go home. I got a text from Clive telling me to meet up with him tomorrow at some restaurant. I texted back with a yes. 

 I had dinner and went to bed anticipating if I have any class with Shane tomorrow. I don’t know why I want to see her so bad. Its just that she’s so full of mystery and makes me want to know more about her. I feel kinda jealous of Cherie. Its weird and I don’t want to think anymore. So I just go to sleep. 

   I had English class with Shane and she sits back at the end of the class room, while I sit with Mark and his girlfriend Christina. 

 A month passed by without much happening. There were rumors going on about Shane and Cherie being together. Which made me sick for some reason. Everything was going fine until…..

 Tbc.
