Title: My last wish: part 2

What a nightmare and if life could be anymore cruel than this, I am doomed to a neighborhood get together at the neighbors house right after we set up our house. I could tell Mateo is trying to avoid me and I wouldnt blame him. My dad is now than ever watching me like a halk ever since we arrived. Yet he releases his stiff grip on my guard when we finally meet the his parents. Unlike our house Mateo's family lives in a two story house with a large swimming pool in the back. In each of the two garages cars fill the space, leaving a few spots were they hang thier bikes and fishing supplies. The breath was taken away from me at the sight of the inside of the house. the tall ceiling above has three ski lights allowing light to glow the room in radiance. the fire place is to my right where leather coutches surounds it around the white rug. From the distance I see glass sliding doors that lead to the back of the house where I see my father and Mateos father grilling on the deck. My dry throat forces me to wonder to the kitchen for a glass of water when I once again meet up with Mateo. He has his back turned against me and does not realize that I was there. He is making a sandwich on the counter and just finishes by placing it into his mouth as he walks back to the refrigerator to fetch the orange juice. Taking the sandwich out of his mouth he begins to drink out of the carton.
'can you ever act desent infront of a lady.' I hear his brother say as he crosses me and approaches Mateo. He slaps him on the back of the head and steals his sandwitch from him.
'hey thats mine!' Mateo tries to take it back but before he could retrieve it back his brother takes a big bite out of it. I cringe at the thought that Mateo just got finish having it in his mouth.
'Hey brother why dont you do her a favor and show her around since she's new here.' He grabs the orange juice carton from Mateo and sticks it back into the refrigerator.
'but-' Mateo says but his brother pushes him over to me and leaves before he could argue. I felt bad that I was making him do something he didnt want to do. We stood in the kitchen for a while thinking what to say to each other until I finally break our silence.
'So, thats your brother, is he always a pain?' I said hoping that this would lead to an endless cycle of good conversation.
'yeah,' he simply says then passes me to enter the living room. I felt bad and decided to wander by myself to another room.
'Are you coming Mai?' I finally hear Mateo say from the other room. I soon perk up and rush over to him. I see that he is reaching for some car keys and heads out the door. I follow him to the car and become suspicious when he sits over on the passengers side.
'Well are you coming?' He says then shuts the door. As I go in after him I pray that my father was not watching.
'Is this your car?' I say after he hands me the keys.
'No, my brothers. If HE wants me to properly show you around than the best way is to allow you to meet the city. And the best part is I am allowing you to drive.'
'Really, but i dont know how to drive.'
'Me neither. But my brother has a job surely he can pay for any damage we do.'
'Well...'
'We will be back before he knows were gone, besides its you that is driving so he cant get mad at you and if your dad is mad at you just blame me and we will be safe.'
I stick the keys into the car and allow the engine to roar. I couldnt help myself from smiling at my excitement. For the first time I am driving. Illegaly, but atleast its a nice new car.
'Ok, I watched my brother do this before, just move that stick thingy to that 'R' and...' Mateo was in the middle of instructing me when all of a sudden the car jerks backwards quickly into the street in a wild movement. our bodies jerk back and forth and at the same time reach for our safety belts. Then I move the shift to 'D' and we crooze onward.
With the help of my tour guad, Mateo, he read all the signs to me as I drove all over the city. Almost seven times I would have crashed into someone, but with Mateo's help I swerve out of the way fast enough. We venture to the skate park and I accidentally run onto the sidewalk.
'dont worry, barelly anyone parks here.' Mateo laughs as he pops the trunk and retreaves his skateboard. As I get out I watch all the skater who are skating around. I felt that soon enough i was going to be board watching Mateo hang around with his friends. Atleast I enjoyed the drive around the city.
'come on, girl, are you coming?' Mateo drops his skate board to the ground and comes over to me. 'hear you can use this.' he hands me some roller blades that are completely black. 'I promised to practice some with my friend before he has to leave for the weekend.' he watches me trying to put his roller blades on my feet. He realizes that my feet are slightly bigger than his and he turns away to make sure i dont see him laughing at me.
'Man you have big feet.' he says under his breath, yet I still hear him.
'I heard that.' I said in my defense, then shove my other foot in the roller blades. 'See.' I give him an attitude look and then skate away. He watches me for a while then goes pass the gates to his friends. I circle around the park watching the people around me. the sky begins to darken abnormally fast yet still we could see as we stay at the park and finally I take a rest. I watch Mateo on a bench inside the gate and quietly cheer him on as he out skill the rest. I could see the tention growning in his friends face as he continues to mess up. Finally at a point he gives up and knocks Mateo down.
'What are you doing freak.' Mateo chases him up a ramp and then jumps on him and knocks him down. The both of them get up and walks over to me.
'Bobby this is Mai. My new nieghbor, with a phsyco dad.' they both laugh and then Bobby says. 'Dont worry Mai, your not the only one with paranoid parents. you should meet Mateo's. they are imbarrassing.'
'I havent really. but so far they seem nice.' I say a little uneasy to talk to another gorgious boy.
'Well good for you. I guess I better be going.' Bobby picks up his skateboard and is about to leave when Mateo stops him.
'Why dont you come to my families cook out. We will be board to death without you.'
'I guess so.' Bobby says as he returns to us. just as he said that a deep rumbling noise is heard above us.
'Wow, I didnt even notice the weather change. I hope we get a strong storm. I love storms.' Mateo says.
'Really, me too.' I say looking at Mateo. he catches my eyes then becomes curious.
'I thought girls are afraid of storms.' He says.
'Well not all girls act scared. In fact you might be surprised.'
'Well, while you too talk lets get going.' Bobby says once he begins to become cold. A light drizzle forces us to walk quikly to the car and this time Mateo takes the liberty to drive back home.
As we drive we notice how fast the storm increases and become stronger and by the time we reach the drive threw, winds pick up speed fast enough to bend the trees.
