Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

Luis ) Hey, guys.

( Ashely ) You made it. This is my girlfriend. Liz

(Liz ) Hi, Luis. It's nice to finally meet you.

( Cha ) Im sorry I'm late. Hi, I'm Cha.

( Ashely ) It's okay, we just got here 5 minutes ago. Since we are here, let's go in.

They've been at the fair for a couple hours now. So far, everything has gone without a problem. They had been visiting practically all of the food stands while riding roller coasters. Since moving to X Mountain, Luis has enjoyed making new friends.

( Luis ) Ashely this was a really smart idea. I enjoyed getting to know Liz, and you two are good together.

(Ashley) Thank you, I know today has been perfect.

( Liz ) Hey, I'm sorry... I hope I am not interrupting you, but I want to take Ashely away.

( Luis ) No, you're fine.

(Ashely) Have fun, you two; we'll talk later.

( Cha ) Luis, let's go ride this roller coaster, Please

(Luis) You want to go on that ride? Ummm I

( Cha ) Don't be scared, I'll be with you.

( Luis ) I wasn't scared, I was just...

( Cha ) Lol, you're cute... Let's go - Cha grabs Luis's arms and pulls him to the line to get in

( Cha ) If you're scared, you can hold my hand.

( Luis ) I told you I wasn't scared… It's fine.

( Cha ) you look cute when you are nervous, Lol.

( ? ) you're up next.

( Cha ) Come on, let's go

Cha guided Luis to the front of the cart by taking his hand. As they fastened their seatbelts, Luis began to feel queasy, but the ride began to move before he could react.

(Luis) N-N-NOOO, I believe I've changed my mind.

( Cha ) I thought you weren't scared.

( Luis ) I-I lied

Cha takes Luis's hand and says, "I won't let anything happen to you."

(Luis) AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

( Cha ) LOL, it's okay

The ride ultimately comes to a stop after a number of minutes. Cha follows Luis as he exits the cart and makes a run for the trash can.

( Luis ) I think I will just throw up all the food we ate.

( Cha ) I'm sorry. Let me make it up to you, and let's get some food. Do you think you will be able to eat it?

( Luis ) I feel a lot better, but I don't want to ride that thing again.

( Cha ) Okay, lol... You can pick the next one.

Cha takes Luis's hand and leads him to a food stand so they can get some burgers and fries.

( Luis ) You don't have to buy me anything.

( Cha ) I know I don't have to, but I want to...

As they make their way to their seats, Ashely texts Luis to let him know she has to leave but wants him and Cha to enjoy themselves. But Ashely intends to go so Cha and Luis can get to know one another, which Luis is unaware of.

( Luis ) It looks like Ashely and Liz had to leave.

(Ch) I hope everything is okay, but we can still hang out right.

( Luis ) of course

Luis and Cha spent another hour at the fair after eating, and when they finished, Cha asked Luis to walk him home.

( Luis ) Thanks for walking me home. Did you want to come in for a bit?

( Cha ) Yes, I would love to

- Made some tea and ended up taking Cha to his room.

( Cha ) Today was fun. I enjoyed hanging out with everyone, but the most satisfying part was getting to know you.

( Luis ) Today was a blast.

- ( Cha ) You know, Luis, I like you a lot and I was nervous about coming over today.

( Luis ) I like you too! I'm glad you decided to come over and say hi, or I wouldn't have made another friend.

(Cha) Laughter, I don't think you get what I'm trying to say, Luis.

( Luis ) What do you mean?

( Cha ) I like you a lot and I would like to be more than friends.

( Luis )..... Ummm I….. I

( Cha ) You're not dating anyone. Ashely said

( Luis ) Will I not, but I * I haven't told Ashely yet what I am going to say *

( Cha ) Why not give me a chance?-Cha leans in to kiss Luis.

( Luis ) - stands up - I can't. I'm sorry.

( Cha ) why not?

( Luis ) because... I'm interested in someone... Im sorry.

( Cha ) who

( Luis ) I can't say right now

( Cha ) Why not? Do you know if they like you? Is there something wrong with me?

( Luis ) Of course not. I like you and I want to just be friends.

( Cha ) I would like that, but I am telling you, one day I will make you mine.

Doorbell

( Luis ) Someone is at the door. I should get it.

( Cha ) Okay, I should head out then - Cha lends in to kiss Luis on the cheek and whispers in his ear, "Think about it and as he is doing that, Luis's door flies open.

( Yaus ) I think he just told you he's not interested.

( Cha ) I should have known it was you - with a smile on his face.

( Luis ) you two know each other.

( Cha ) You can say that... I should leave.

( Yaus ) - in a cold voice - what are you waiting for?

( Cha ) Luis I wouldn't trust everything he says - and leaves

( Luis ) what does he mean and how do you two know each other

( Yaus ) He's just trying to scare you.

( Luis ) Why would he do that and how do you two know each other?

( Yaus ) It's difficult to explain. Our families hate each other... I can't explain

(Luis) With you, it's always a secret. Why won't you simply tell me? If you keep saying that you cannot explain or even tell me why, how can I believe you? I don't understand.

( Yaus ) I'm just trying to keep you safe.

( Luis ) Safe from what

( Yaus ) Luis, I will explain everything at the right time. I want you to stay away from him.

( Luis ) If you can't tell me why, then I will make my own choice about who I hang out with.

( Yaus ) - walks up to Luis and as Luis is backing up, he falls on the floor and Yaus gets on top of him -

GET OFF (Luis)

( Yaus ) I'm not asking you, I'm telling you Stay away from him - in a cold voice -

( Luis ) GET OFF AND LEAVE * did his eyes just change

( Yaus ) - gets up and picks up his bag and walks out - If that's what you want, then I'll leave.

As Yaus walks out the door, Luis gets up from the floor and tries to run after Yaus, but stops at his front door and starts crying.
