"Little girl, how long have you been dating this guy? He doesn't seem worth your time," One of Mateo's, your boyfriend's, friend Josh smirks at you, his other friends laughing beside him while loud music plays in the alleyway where you and your boyfriend with his group are hanging out and smoking without a care in the world.

"Shut up." Mateo hisses protectively from behind you with one of his arms wrapped around your waist while leaning back on a wall, a cigarette in his other hand. "Leave her alone." He rolls his eyes, used to his friends' teasing everyday.
