Where a world of innocence and purity meets that of danger and sin.can Desirée Lopez change the way Alex Arroyo views and rules the world in which she lives in?

The Untameable

Seated on Alex’s lap, head cuddled up on her chest in my dark bedroom, I find myself crying again and drenching her already wet with my tears shirt. 


Ever since we got home she hasn’t said a word or force me to say anything. She just hugged me and I was back to square one with the crying which lead us to this position. 


My mom’s been coming into the room to check up on me and honestly, I don’t want to see anyone besides Al. She makes me feel less shitty. I’m afraid of her reaction when I tell her the truth. God knows if I was her I’d be pissed. I mean it’s not my fault but I can’t help but feel as though I could have prevented all of this. How? I don’t exactly know. 


Mr Danes and I have been going back and forth with this issue for two years now. It all started in sophomor year and since then he’s been threatening me. I don’t fail Maths because I’m dumb or because I want to fail, but it’s because it was my only option.
