Selena~

I eventually caught up with Mom and Meldin at the bag pick-up.

They were talking to some fancy white man in a tuxedo; he looked like a butler in the old English movies. He even had a semi-bald head and white hair to go with it. To be honest he was white in general (not to be racist)

"Mistress Gonzalez," he bowed and said politely in his British accent,

"My name is Morris. I shall be assisting you this month while you are planning Master Jose's funeral. I'm so sorry for the lose Madame but every single one of your family members and the community are waiting for you back at Selena Acres"

He grabbed my hand and gave it an apologetic kiss. I just stood there staring at the man.

Master Jose ? Mistress Gonzalez ?? Selena Acres ???

I just blinked at the man. I guess Meldin could tell I felt awkward so he barged in.

"Well Sele-poo ! Time to go; I already got your bags !" he grabbed me by the shoulder and darted out of the airport.

"Look Selena, I'm as freaked out as you are. Especially since the place is named after you. C'mon Dad, I am your only son" He scuffed in annoyance; I just laughed. I geniunely laughed at his envy.

"Yeah yeah, Melly-poo ! I am his first born and only daughter. So ha !" I brushed him off as a white limo pulled up with the name Gonzalez printed on its side.

Oh God, there's a lot of explaining to do.

~~~

"So let me get this straight," I sighed for the millionth time, "So Dad was a multi-millionare back in the USA but when he came here with a clean slate and "started over" ?"

I put emphasis on the started over with air quotes. Morris nodded and let me continue.

"So for one, Dad came to Crowle with a work associate and with their money combined and created a community where the children and adults can keep their lives on the right track ?" he nodded again silently, "So he named it Selena Acres, after me ?"

Once again he nodded in his polite manner. "And Mistress Gonzale-"

I quickly cut him off "You can call me Selena, Morris"

"Well Selena he said he loved you so much that he decided to name it after you," he turned over to face Meldin who was bright green in envy, "For you Master Meldin, he decided to name the high school Meldin Gonzalez High. So there is no need to be envious of your sister."

For once the old man slipped a light smirk towards my mother and I. I gave him a light smile back and so did my mom.

"Wait, so who's taking care of the community now ?" I asked curiously

"Your Aunty Doris and your father's associate Master Smyth have been a little edgy on the payments but they've straightened it out in time for the funeral."

My face drooped a bit as I tried to advert my gaze from Morris to my shoes. I don't know I'm strong enough for this funeral. It's a long time from now and it's also near my birthday too.

A warm wrinkly hand lightly grasped my cold ones and gave it a reassuring squeeze. His bright blue eyes looking at me; making sure I was okay. I patted his hand and smiled at him; this man was surely a good man.

"Selena honey," my mom's voice soft and caring, "Honey today we have a little surprise for you and Meldin. There's going to be a little parade and carnival tradition the community does every year." I raised my eyebrow and waited for her to continue, "And you and Meldin are going to be, let me say, shadowing two responsible highly recommended-"

"Adults ?" Meldin and I said in unison.

"No. Teens that are high school like you two. One girl and one boy, I believe. Right Morris ?"

The man nodded and turned around to the chauffeur and back to us.

"We're here Madame"

I stepped foot on the dark rocky cement; the skies were bright teal and sky blue. The clouds looked like it they were trying to crawl down and touch us all on the head. This place smelled like green grass and love. I turned my head to the side to see a stone pendent surrounded by

Yellow Forsythias

No wonder the place smelled like love. Papi wanted it to remind it of the flowers. The sign was painted with apple red color and neatly read, "Selena Acres".

A lump formed in my throat but I swallowed it back down to stop from being emotional. My thoughts were fazed away when Meldin put his hand on my shoulder and pointed towards the carnival and town. Papi did do a good job on this town with his associate.

~~~

We walked up towards the entrance of the where a Hispanic woman sat at a table with stickers and smiled at everyone who passed through.

The lady had a sea of chocolate eyes and hair; she had the most beautiful natural looking tan with pink lips. She looked like an actual model type woman.

Once her gaze met up and looked at mine; her eye immediately poured down in tears and nearly tackled me with a bare hug. I awkwardly patted her hair in a comforting way. I guess I have the emotional effect on people...

"Ayy Selena !!" she pushed off of me and tackled Meldin too, "Ayy Meldin !!"

My mom and Morris had to pry the crying woman off of Meldin. I noticed her purple sticker that said, "Hello, my name is Doris"

"A-Aunty Doris ?" I asked in amazement. The last time I saw her was back when I was in middle school. She'd lost a lot of weight ! She looked fantastic for a woman her age !

"Hi Aunty Doris" Meldin and I said in unison (again). Gosh our sibling connections starting to make awkward.

We gave her a family kiss and accepted a sticker from her. It was a pretty indigo color. I took a sharpie and neatly wrote "Selena" and wrote "Meldin" for Meldin because only God knows who the hell could read his handwriting.

"Okay Sel and Me-Man," Mom said in her motherly tone, "So your tour guides have purple stickers like you guys; compared to everybody else. I believe they're Cold Stone down by the Barnes and Nobles. Meet back here at 7:00 sharp ! Understand you two ?"

We nodded and walked off towards the town and the carnival.

~~~

The bells of the Cold Stone greeted us once we opened the door. The smell of sugar and cream can make any person melt down into a little kid again.

My mom used to take us to Cold Stone every Sunday after church. Cookie dough for me and cookies and cream for Meldin. My reminiscing of sweet ice cream was cut short once Meldin tapped on my shoulder.

"Hey Sel, I'm going to the bathroom. I'll be right back" I nodded and sat down at a random empty table.

Everyone around me was happily talking and laughing together. I saw a cute couple in the corner booth smiling and giving each other sweet eyes. I smiled to myself and bit my lip in memory of Hunter. I truly do miss him.

"Well damn, don't bit your lip like that." I quickly raised my head up to see a blonde boy smirking at me. He's pretty tall to be honest and he had light brown eyes peering down at me.

"Umm, can I help you ?" I asked annoyed. There's always one of those people.

"So what's a pretty girl like you doing here alone ? Hi I'm Miles by the way" he asked grabbing a chair at the table.

"I'm Selena. I'm not alone actually; I'm here with my little brother"

"Well at least I get time with you. You sound American; you from the states ?"

I just scuffed and looked around for Meldin. I swear I need somebody to shoo this guy.

"Yes I am. And so is my boyfriend" I crossed my arms and smirked at him.

"Even better for me babe. " he bit his lip and winked at me.

Before I could even vomit he yelped an ear piercing screech and swatted everything around him. He flew down to the ground groaning and holding his ear. I looked up in shock to see Meldin and a pretty girl smiling. Next thing I know I'm being dragged out of Cold Stone by the girl.

Out of reaction; I shook her hand off my shoulder when we made it outside. She just gave me an apologetic raise of the hands and just crossed her arms at me.

She had a pretty complexion of brown with dark brown eyes to pair with it. She had her hair braided back into a bun and had nerd glasses. She had on a cream colored cheetah prints scarf with a dark long sleeve, skinny jeans and dark combat boots. She was actually a lot taller than I am. I looked down at her name tag and noticed it was purple. I squinted to read the name on her name tag.

Hello, my name is

Naike

"Nike ?" I asked trying to pronounce her name.

She just groaned and laughed.

"Naike. Nai, as in Nike, ke, as in cake" she smirked.

She squinted down to my name tag and rose back up, "Seleyena ?"

This time I laughed and corrected, "Selena. Sel, as jail cell, ena, as in arena"

"Well hello Selena. I'm Naike" she stuck out her hand formally. I gladly accepted it and laughed. She was gonna an interesting persona.

~~~

I jumped onto the King size bed in the guest room. My Dad apparently lived in this humungous mansion and I have to stay in it too. *sigh* Why couldn't I live a normal life ?

I dialed a number on my phone and heard the monotone of a ring; waiting for him to answer.

"Hello ?" Hunter's voice sounded like he just woke up; deep and mysterious. It sent tiny sparks and shiver down my spine.

"Hey Hunter" I said trying to sound at least half-way composed.

"You seem like you're tired. What cha doing ?"

"I'm just here with my-uh"

I flinched for a second, "Who's Miah ?"

He just laughed, "Before you rudely interrupted me Gonzalez; I was going to say my-uh homework. Calm down Gonzalez, I love you too much to go to someone help already"

My grew warmer at his sweet gestures all the time.

"Well I'm sorry"

"It's okay. But I have to get back to Miah so please don't freak out Sel"

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever smartass; you continue with Miah"

"Bye Miah"

"Bye Hunter"

I hung up the phone and held it close to my heart.

Only God knows how long and stressful this trip is going to be.
