I thought I would find her in my sister’s room but funny enough I found her in mine.

After Ceci stormed off, the room continued to be silent for several long seconds. I needed to think. But all I could see behind my eyes was a mixture of Ceci flirting with my best friend, my mother and her fighting, and the hurt in her eyes.

“I’ll go check on—”

I didn’t even look at him. Raising a hand in the air I said, “Malcolm you don’t even know her. Sit down.”

“Right then.” He sat quickly, seeming almost relieved to be let off the hook.

Next Tiney began to rise, “Then I’ll go—”

“I will find her and apologize in a second. I’m the one that said it,” I grumbled.

Tiney gave me a small smile. “Okay, thanks. She’s probably not that mad at you anyway, she’s been in a bad mood all day.”

My ears perked up at that.

“Why—” I started to ask but was promptly cut off.

“No kidding,” Mom huffed as she crossed her arms over her chest. “Are you really friends with that girl?”

“Yes.”

I was spared the embarrassment of having to explain my vehement response. Because Tine and I weren’t the only ones who spoke up. We all vouched for Ceci. Our little hardass. But ours.

“Mijo,” my dad said in a soft voice. He hated drama which is why he usually stayed out of our ample amount of it. “Explícame.”

I shook my head. “It’s just what was said. I program. You all knew that. We don’t have to have a conversation about it.”

“Entonces, por qué estás tan enojado?” he asked.

Why was I so angry? I didn’t know, but I had a feeling the answer lay with the girl who’d just left the table. So shortly after, I excused myself and went to go look for her. When I found her she wasn’t sulking or moping in her hurt feelings from earlier. She was going through my fucking shit. Rummaging through drawers and papers and old boxes like she was on some kind of mission.

“What are you looking for?” I asked from my spot leaning against the doorway.

“Your balls,” she mumbled. I probably deserved that one.

“Cee, I’m sorry,” I said.

“Not okay.”

“Celesti—”

“Ceci,” she corrected.

That correction hurt way more than it probably should. Storming further into the room, I dropped to my knee so that I was on her level. She was rooting around on the floor under my bed trying to find something, but I pulled her up so she could look at me. So I could see that face. And nope. The hurt wasn’t totally gone yet. Did my little “shut up” really hurt her that badly? Or was it something else? Grasping her chin, I tilted her face to look at me.

“C’mon,” I said. “Don’t be like this with me. You saw what I was working with out there.”

“Not like you wanted my help with it,” she mumbled, tossing her chin over her shoulder. I brought it back around to look at me
