Being Ricardo's girlfriend was something nice and fun for you, you had been together since you were 14 and you had both recently turned 17, when his parents sent him to Regis High School, an all-boys school, your parents and his arranged for you to visit him at school from time to time, that was the reason why at that moment you were wearing one of his shirts and a pair of your pants while you ate next to him in the cafeteria, sharing a table with other students, one of his hands was on your thigh, when suddenly, a man with glasses enters the cafeteria shooting at the ceiling, Ricardo instantly throws himself to the ground and pulls you with him, protecting you as best he could.

Turns out they were looking for one of Ricardo's friends because he was the son of a judge or something like that, and the school had been taken over by Colombian drug dealers who wanted one of their own released to an American prison, the students had to be in the cafeteria every hour to do a head count, and they had the right to go out to the yard if they wanted. Also, the school had explosives around that the leader controlled with a device on his wrist. They divided the rooms with 8 people in each one, luckily for you, you were next to your boyfriend, bad luckily, you were with 6 more guys, Ricardo's friends, among them were Billy Tepper, Jory Trotta, Snuffy Bradberry, Hank Giles and Johnathan "Yogurt" Bradberry, the 8 of them were in the room while they talked about what had happened in less than 24 hours, Ricardo took you by the waist and sat you on his lap, hiding his face in your neck and pressing his chest to your back, while he was sat on one of the two beds in the bedroom, for obvious reasons, the group gave the bed to you two

Joey was trying to come up with a plan so they could escape, but that only created a small argument between him and Snuffy, which upset you, so you yelled at them to shut up, they listened to you instantly, everyone saw you as the younger sister, since you were Ricardo's girlfriend for a long time
