Mosquita y Mari

Hurry, Yoli.

Whoa, shit!

Why'd you leave, girl?

l stayed for a little bit.

lt was tight, huh?

lt was sick!

So then let's go again today?

Again...lt's Tuesday.

Everyday's a Friday for her.

You know what? That's not cool.

ls that my lipgloss?

lt'd better not be my lipgloss.

Mom gave it to me... Mom gave it to me.

How many times do l have to tell you! lt's mine!

Stop lying, it's mine!

l don't want you going through my stuff.

Good day, Don Pedro!

Dona Herlinda!

Both.

He's looking.

Hey! Hey!

Damn it.

Olivia!

Olivia!

l was just talking about alternate angles.

lnterior, exterior. Ok? They're all congruent.

Mr. G!

l'll be right with you.

We're going to go over it.

Mr. G!

lt looks great, Yolanda.

Let's keep looking at these over here.

You do understand this, right?

- Yes? - Yes.

Yes?

Ok, Mari Rodriguez... You're gonna have to share

until l get a copy of the textbook.

Yolanda, can you share your textbook with her

and help her catch up?

And you're going to have to turn that over.

lt's off.

Ok, ok, relax.

Just make it disappear, ok?

What?

Nothing, you're my neighbor is all.

And?

Do l owe you something?

l'm just saying.

You look like a little fly.

Pinche mosquita.

Ok.

I'm working on getting your homework posted onIine.

Tomorrow, I do not want to hear, ''What was the homework, Mr. G?''

I Iove the exoitement.

Wait, Cuata. l'm putting it on my left eye.

That means you got to put it on your right.

So did you guys check out the new girl?

What's up with that freakin' attitude?

Trying to act all tough and shit in front of everyone.

Please. l think she's trouble.

Ay, Cuata.

You don't even know her, Vicky.

Neither do you!

Just saying. lt must suck being new at a big ass school.

People can be rude and stuff.

Ay, Yoli.

Here you go again with that holy santita bullshit.

lt's getting real old. l left that back in junior high.

l'm just saying.

Well, get over it. That's what l'm saying.

Don't trip off her girl. She's just feeling off and shit.

Yeah, l guess.

She's just bitchy right now

cuz she started her period and l didn't.

What's up with Mr. G?

Why does he always give us a lot of homework?

l don't know, man. l don't know what's up.

This is geometry. He has to calm down.

Shit, you're smoking a joint, Yoli?

Right, Cuata?

Dude, it smells like weed.

Maybe that's how her number two smells.

You're so stupid!

Hey!

What the hell?

You think you're some kind of hot shit?

l am hot shit, dumbass.

Crazy bitch!

Hey! Hey!

Alright, who's got it?

Hey, don't look at me.

We don't know either.

Let's just see what the office knows.

Mari.

Thank you.

Thanks for pushing me out in time.

My parents would have freaked out

over something like this.

So what'd the Dean say?

l flushed that roach down the toilet

so all they could do is warn me: next time l'm out.

Out?

Yeah. They said l could make it easier on myself

if l just drop out and get my GED.

They're stupid.

lt's not that crazy.

But what about college?

lt's a waste of time.

lt's not a waste of time.

lt is for me.

Look, after school we can meet up.

We'll go through my Geometry book

and go over whatever other stuff.

History, English...

Weekdays are good. Weekends too.

One of that.

Thank you.

l don't know about studying on the weekends.

You know, if you do good, it's like the biggest...

Even if you don't go to college, just imagine having the chance

to shove those grades in their faces.

They'd feel so stupid.

l have all the homework. We can start today.

You know you don't owe me shit, right?

l know.

Mama!

Please Mari?

Nope!

We should play some Ska while doing our homework.

You won't be able to focus.

Yeah, but it'll make it fun.

Hello, my daughter.

Hello.

No. Damn!

You ok?

l found it in my mom's drawer.

You look nice, Mari.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Mom's calling you.

Let's break up into groups. You three, Chapter 1 0.

You three in the middle, Chapter 1 1 .

Chapter 1 0 on the outside.

You three also Chapter 1 1 and Chapter 1 0.

Oops.

Douche!

Skank!

She's calling you.

Hop on already!

Hold on.

But not too tight. Just like that.

Alright.

No, no, no, no, no! Wait! My turn, my turn!

- You better not drop me! - l'm not! l'm not!

- Promise. - l promise.

l hope you end up liking Huntington Park.

Why wouldn't l?

Cuz sometimes the air smells like pan dulche

and others say it smells like chemicals.

Or like the Las Cuatas say, ''lt smells like ass.''

Holy...

Are you okay?

What did l say!

Alright, that's enough.

Oh, shit. lt's open.

We should go, Mari.

Come on, Mosquita.

''l love Chuy.''

''Hydo Y Rusbi por vida.''

''Guera Y Chaparra friends forever.''

''Mosquita y Mari.''

Fuck the rest.

Whenever anybody gets on our nerves,

this'll be our ''kick it'' spot.

This is private property, Mari.

We can't just make it our own.

lt's not like anybody's gonna come here anytime soon.

''Smurf is my man. All bitches stay away.''

Yeah, you fight for your little blue man, dumbass.

l bet you that guy Smurf got his name

from wearing his ugly-ass shorts.

What?

Nothing.

Smurfette.

Oh, hell, no!

Gotcha.

Look, you can do the recording

and me and Vera can do the rest. Ok?

We're going to be doing a random survey. Right, Cuata?

Yeah, random survey.

But what kinda survey?

Just press this button to record, ok?

What's up with you

questioning your long-term friends about shit?

So here we are at my high school.

And we're gonna be doing a random survey

where we're get to ask guys

if they've ever popped a boner in school.

Ay, Cuata.

What? lt's just a question!
