+ 3	An Eighth Grader in A High School World

    His name was Aaron Salas. He was tall compared to the rest of us eight graders. His dark brown hair and big eyes made my head spin. Puppy love my friends called it. 

    After all of the times he hurt me i decided that I was only an eighth grader and i wanted to see other people and move on with my young life. It was the spring season of my eight grade year. Basketball was ending and my first year of playing for the West Las Vegas High School softball team was about to arrive. 

    First day of practice comes along. I'm standing across from my very first cousin who looks almost identical to me some people said, warming up with her. Me and Vera were worried that we weren't going to be liked the high schoolers. "What if we don't fit in" Vera says to me before we take the field. Our older cousin Alicia, blonde and an awesome short stop, was on the team but she was older and it just wouldn't be very cool of her to hang out with her little eighth grader cousins.

    After a week of spending all day just trying to ask all the other girls to give us rides to the softball fields, the girls started to take a liking to me and Vera. Our team was not the most serious or focused team you have ever seen. "Come on babe" our pitcher and captain Dominique tells one of our teammates Amanda Gallegos. "Babe" was becoming the new thing to call your closest friend. About a week later, "you better not ever mess with my babe" Renee says to me in laughter. "How come everyone is saying that and pretending to be lesbians when all of them are straight?" asked Vera. I laughed in confussion and shrugged my shoulders as i ran to center field.

    It's the first day of official practice and Vera and Alyssa start to warm up together so I am forced to warm up with someone else everyday. Alyssa is always going on and on about Ernie Trujillo and how he is really cute. Everyday Ernie has to challenge me to a one on one basketball game in fourth period and then go for a walk with him after. "Double or nothing tomorrow?" Alyssa wasn't too happy about that. "Val you know I like him right" Alyssa asks me. "Of course I know you like him Alyssa" I replied. 

    "So we've been hanging out a lot lately" Ernie says to me outside the gym doors in between the main campus and the gym. He leaned in and kissed me. "See you in math tomorrow" he says with a smile that i couldn't resist.  

    I spent the whole night laying in my twin sized bed thinking about Ernie and how much I liked him. I finally got myself to fall asleep at around two a.m. and woke up with more energy than I had ever had in the morning. I put my favorite outfit on and some make up. 

    Ernie asked me to be his girlfriend that day. For some strange reason I almost said no. Something told me I didn't want to be with him. But i chose to go with what I thought was right. I mean he was one of the cutest guys in our class. All the girls liked him so why not I thought to myself.

    Eventually I was more interested in who was who's babe at softball practice and who I was going to sit with on the bus on away trips and not paying any attention to my three month boyfriend Ernie. I found myself ignoring him and eating lunch with Renee and Mona when they would take me off campus for lunch. I would have to sneak off campus in the trunk Renee's black spider eclipse of course. I wasn't old enough to leave campus. That was the fun part.

    It was a cold and windy day at the field. I got there with Renee and Mona of course. They were best friends. I seemed to be getting closer to Mona though. Coach Aragon had us run two laps around the field before warm up. I Remember running in front of  Mona and Renee and her babe Amana Martinez in front of me. 

    I heard Mona's voice from behind yell at Renee and Amanda, "stop you guys are making me jealous. I need a babe." The words that came out of my mouth next would change my life forever.
