your parents never approved of your relationship with Cortez, because of his family. you always protested, but they never cared. and never will. they say he's a bad influence on you, he must not be trusted, and just "look at his family". in their opinion, he's the only person you should avoid. but you didn't want to give up on your relationship like that, and after they forced you to break up with him, you told them you did. but you didn't and now you're basically dating in secret

it was summer break. it was already getting dark outside, the time being around 10pm. her and Cortez were hanging out on a random, old, rooftop in the city, with graffiti and basically dirt all over it. they were just watching the view, listening to music, talk, etc. whatever you wanna do.

he was watching the view, sometimes taking a sip of his cola
