           After a little bit of research I found out I could just take the G.E.D. test without having to take classes. I grabbed my keys the next morning and took myself to the bookstore in Brentwood, better quality books there. I bought the Kaplan GED prep book and a couple notebooks and headed home without gathering unwanted attention.

I pulled back into my driveway and one of the bosses was sitting on my porch.

"Que onda?" I asked.

"Necesitamos que le des esto a Stassie." (We need you to give this to Stassie). He handed me a small box and I opened it.

"En anillo?" (A ring?)

"En anillo?" (A ring?)

The ring.

"Si, proponer le."(Yes, propose to her) I almost dropped the box.

"Andale." (Ok)

"Tienes hasta el nuevo ano para hacerlo." (You have until the New Year to do it) I felt the pressure of everything now weighing me down with this ugly ring.

"Adios." He said walking away from me.

"Adios." I said back to him.

I needed Stassie back, and until then I was gonna be freaking out.


Fast forward a couple days to Thursday

          Stassie still hasn't come back but Evie had been texting and I had been calling her to make sure that she was fine the last couple of days. I reminded her they needed to be back by tomorrow and she would shush me to death. If she wasn't Stassie's hermana, I would have killed her through this phone for shushing me.

I was sitting taking notes from my GED book when Evie sent me another message. Except it wasn't a message but a video.

I tapped the link and watched it download, it was taking too fucking long. When the video finally downloaded I saw a stage and a lot of people standing on it.

            "Urban Studies Master's Degree Graduates..." The woman kept saying people's names. I fast forwarded a little, "Loren Ginnifer O'Larry, Walter O'Mara Junior...." I watched as the blue hair girl appeared on the right side of the screen. "Anastasia O'Neil-Kappich." The woman messed up Stassie's last name but I was focused on the blue hair girl walking towards the woman she shook her hand and moved onto the next three people shaking there hands. She grabbed her diploma and waved it in the air. Evie turned the camera around to her and gave me a thumbs up.

I got a text as soon as the video ended. 

Leaving Massachusetts right now. Be back in Cali by tomorrow.

I looked at the sender it was Stassie.

I texted her back. Congrats princesa. I have to talk to you.

I'll talk to you in person not thru text.

This was gonna be a long stressful wait.
