Summary
Benji didn’t mean the overhear, really. He was scrolling through his Instagram feed and waiting for Victor to return, but the voices from the kitchen were getting louder and harder to ignore. When he heard Victor tell his parents he couldn’t babysit his little brother Adrian tomorrow, Benji’s interest peaked.
“I can do it.” A voice behind them offered. All four turn around to find Benji standing in the entryway of the kitchen, hands in his front jean pockets and cheeks going red at the attention.

*Or, Benji offers to take care of Adrian after school.

Summary
School is slow, but it always is. Pilar is used to everyone in her class ignoring her, but today, the loneliness feels more suffocating than usual. She misses her old friends, but her dry phone is proof enough that they don’t miss her.
She sees the posters and banners for the stupid dance. The dance her brother was still attending with Mia, the dance her parents were forcing her to attend. She’d rather rather wear one of those brightly colored floor length dresses her mom likes and go to church than go to this dance. But everyone will be there, she remembers, maybe I can get some answers.//
Or, my take on Pilar and more Benji & Salazar family interactions! This story focuses on Benji and Pilar.Series
