Spring : flowers blooming, leaves blooming, crops growing, and never ending routine that come back every year.
"Alejandro, pon atención!!¡" The teacher was yelling at Alex again. Es porque es menso. All the guys only care about is track, and helping there Padres plant the following harvest on the fields. But it's the only way to survive here.
This was the routine for all the 16 year old boys. Wake up at 4 am para ayudar a papa on the fields. Go to school at 9 am. Get out of school. Go right back to finnish helping Papa. Then go home at 7 pm to eat dinner and do home work. Y a dormir. The routine never changes, only for holidays, weddings, and sadly funerals.
All the boys hang out together at the patio at school. Always laugh and dream about one day getting out of this routine to help their families. Everyone except Alejandro. His dream is the same but has a different goal. It involves a specific girl. Elonora o como el la llama Elle.
Everyday during school he sits by the window to watch her PE class. One of the fastest and prettiest girls in school. He has the same routine as his amigos but except his dream has a different goal. To be good enough for Elle. To sustain his family and Elle. To marry Elonora.
" AYYYY miralo, otra VEZ esta viendo al la Elle." his friend Pancho always complains about his friends crush. They respect him for it but still their rule is : Family first. Chicas despues.
Alex is the hardest working out of all of them but he still doesn't let go of his dream. No matter what it takes he protects Elle behind closed doors. Alex ignored Panchos comments but then something caught his eye.
Last year some guy named Julio tried to get at Elle and when she rejected. He was constantly trying to get at her but she always rejected. But Alex still felt worried about her . Today the same routine of rejection still never changed. But this time he turned aggressive. Elle was jogging while Julio ran up and tried to hug her tight fitted body. But she swiftly dodged his hug. Alejandro watched as Elle tried to run and fell. Julio started to grab her and push her against the ground. He was trying to take advantage... Her friends ran to get help of the coach across the soccer field.
When Alex saw this he felt as though his world was crashing down. The only thing he cared about was crashing and breaking in front of him. He couldn't breathe. Before he knew it he was out of the class and half way across the soccer field. He ran so fast that he didn't realize that his legs had even touched the ground when he was suddenly in the air.
Elle screamed just as Alex kicked Julio right across the face and started punching him will all his force until his knuckles were swollen and bleeding.
Alex couldn't stop. He felt the urge to matarlo con sus propias manos. He continued until he felt a pair of smooth arms wrap around him and struggle to pull him back .
He couldn't think of what was going on but he just let go. Elle didnt see him coming. He fell right on top of her. He was instantly swormed with the scent of her shampoo. Their gaze landed into eachothers eyes.
This was how it all started: The most painful and most beautiful summer of their lives.
