"You don't scare me Yesseca! I, Yuliana Fernandez, am innocent! Don't even think of threatening me again!"
Yuliana then turned around and walked away angrily.
When Yuliana was gone, Montez ran over.
Montez looked at Yesseca worriedly, "Yesseca, are you okay?"
Yesseca replied gently, "Yes, I'm fine."
Montez looked in the direction Yuliana had stomped off at and asked, "Did... Did my aunt say something mean to you?"
Yesseca could tell how nervous and worried Montez was from his voice.
She knew that he was aware of her strained relationship with Yuliana.
Yesseca consoled Montez and told him that everything was fine.
Even though Yesseca consoled him, Montez still felt uneasy.
He then asked, "Yesseca, does my auntie know why you are here today?"
Yesseca knew that she couldn't hide this from Montez and said, "Yes, she does. But it's okay. If she knows, she knows. She can't do anything about it anyway."
Montez bit down on his lip.
He fussed with the corner of his shirt and asked, "Yesseca, now that my aunt knows, is she going to get you in trouble?"
Yesseca was surprised.
She thought that Montez was uncomfortable because he was worried about getting in trouble, but as it turns out, he was worried about her.
