Maria's (P. O. V. )

"I was born in Mexico but I'm a resident of the United States, I have always dreamed of becoming a lawyer, helping innocent people. I love helping people, well maybe that's thanks to my parents because they love help people as well... however they can." I continued.

"What I'm trying to say here by telling you my life story is to never give up no matter what. I came to the United States not knowing the English language but thanks to my best friend Jason Mendez I got the hang of it. I never gave up even when I was teased for being Mexican, so ever give up on your dreams no matter what people say, believe in yourself and in your ability to succeeded, never underestimate your potential." I turned to look at all the graduates.

"To all the graduates I wish you all the best, I hope to see all of you soon in the near future. God bless all of you." My eyes were on Jason the whole time, just like I promised.

"Thank you all." I concluded and removed my hat. I bowed at the audience and I waved at them while they clapped. I walked off stage, my eyes instantly landed on Jason and he smiled at me while clapping.

Everyone's still clapping, I didn't even notice.

When I look at Jason everyone else disappears from my mind... that's the effect he has over me.

"Harvard University Class of 2019!!" Our principal yelled, that was our cue to throw our hats in the air and we did.

"Yey!!" We all yelled in happiness for the fact that we had finished University. 

I'm so glad I'm finished University, high school etc.

Now comes the Real World.

**** ( skip )

We are currently in the Car. 

My parents, Jason's parents, Lola's parents and Carla's parents were in the Range Rover Jason and I rode with when we came to the ceremony.

Jason, Lola, Carla, Ben, Adam and I were in the Jeep that Jason's father's bodyguards rode in.

I'm sitted in the passenger sit next to Jason who's driving the car, while  Lola and the others were at the back.

We all met Adam and Ben in high school and we all instantly became friends.

"Guys, why don't we all go to Las Vegas to celebrate that we just graduated." Ben suggested.

He loves parties...

"That's a great idea, Jason you can take us there right." Lola agreed enthusiastically.

"Y'all guys are crazy, what are we going to do in Las Vegas?" I questioned, Lola and Ben.

"Get married duh!" Jason remarked sarcastically.

Why am I not at all surprised by what he just said.

I rolled my eyes. "I'm being really serious Jason." I responded in a serious tone.

"I'm also being serious." he countered.

"What does marriage have to do with Las Vegas?" I asked Jason.

"A lot of people get married at Elvis chapel, Las Vegas is known for the amount of weddings that take place there." he explained.

"Well, we aren't not going to get married, so I don't think we should go, and besides we have a lot of work for our new jobs and everything, so I don't think a trip to Las Vegas will lighten up the mood." I pointed out a little annoyed that they want to go to Las Vegas. 

"Maria come on, Jason was joking, we just want to go to Las Vegas to have some fun, go out clubbing maybe." Ben responded.

"We need to be 21 and older to enter a club in Las Vegas, so how are we going to go clubbing." I inquired.

"Fake ID's duh. No one will notice anything, we all look older than our original age." Carla remarked, glancing at each other of us.

"Good idea Carla, but where are we going to get fake ID's?" Adam asked.

"What are you guys saying? We never even agreed to the trip to Las Vegas but you guys are here planning where to get the fake ID's, like seriously." I groaned annoyingly.

"Jason do you want to come with us to Las Vegas?" Adam and Ben asked in unison.

"It's all up to Maria, if she goes I'll go too." Jason stated.

The whole car went silent.

"Maria please come with us to Las Vegas I promise you that it will be fun." Lola asked pleadingly.

Should I go to Las Vegas and enjoy myself, or should I stay and start looking for new jobs?

"Okay, we all can go to Las Vegas,  but only for one week...understood." I agreed.

"Okay mom, we promise." Lola remarked sarcastically.

"Yey! we are going to Las Vegas!!" Lola and Carla yelled loudly.

"I think we should call our parents and tell them that we all going to Las Vegas." Jason suggested.

Jason handed his phone to me.

"Call my parents and tell them that we all going to Las Vegas just to have fun or something." he commanded, his gaze on the road.

"Okay." I simply replied.

I scrolled through his contacts and found Mom and dad written and I tapped his Mom's name, I pressed the call button and waited. After three rings the call was answered.

**Jessica - jess**

***Maria - Mari***

Jess ** " Hello " Mrs Jessica answered.

Mari *** " Hello Mrs Jessica this is Maria speaking. Jason is driving right now so he asked me to tell you that all of us will be going to Las Vegas today to celebrate, if that's okay with you." I informed looking at Jason who was so focused on driving. 

Jess ** "It's okay honey, but how long will you be there?" she asked.

Mari *** "For a week, that's all then we will all come back, please inform my parents, Lola and Carla's parents and Adams and Ben's parents too Mrs Jessica." 

Jess ** " I will inform all of your parents, don't worry, take care of yourselves, tell Jason I love him and I love you too sweetheart."

Mari *** " I will surely tell him,  and I love you too, tell my parents I love them, thank you so much Mrs Jessica, bye."

Jess **" I will tell them sweetheart, bye, see you soon." 

"She said she loves you and you should take care of yourself." I told Jason when I ended the call and he smiled.

"She also agreed for us to go to Las Vegas." I added.

"LAS VEGAS HERE WE CAME!!" We all yelled in excitement.

Everyone else is also asleep, except me... I can't sleep because I'm the driver. I looked at the scenery, Las Vegas is so beautiful, the sign is so welcoming. "Y'all heifers wake up!" I yelled. "Why are you yelling Jason I'm right next to you?" Maria asked, rubbing her eyes. She slowly turned her head to looked at me. Those eyes... We stared at each other for a few minutes until Lola started yelling in our faces, bringing us back to reality. "We're here!, We're here!, We're here!" She yelled happily. "What's with the yelling?" Adam questioned, yawning. &n
