right across the street it was Maria
looking at him with a captivation gaze, it
didn’t too long to Carlos notice Maria;
when he saw her he got paralyzed; it was
just the right girl for him; so he
immediately walk to her and they started
talking, when they started talking they
booth knew they were in love.
After talking for a while they went
dancing but they didn’t dance all night
long; Carlos asked her to move to a
quieter spot in order to talk and know
each other in a more comfortable way.
They move to the improvised soccer field
of the community; it was everything in
dark; nobody else was there; so they
looked for a stone, big enough to sit
together; it didn’t take too much time
when they started making out; and after a
while on it; it happened the obvious.
After that special night for Maria and
Carlos; Carlos decided to stay for a while
with his relatives in the community in
order to continue dating Maria; weeks
passed by, everything was just right for
Maria and Carlos until the fifth week.
Maria had one week of delay in her
period; she got worry, but she didn’t
mention anything to Carlos.
Maria decided to go to the doctor and
take a pregnancy test; when she got the
results, she almost fainted: she was
expecting a baby.
When she arrive to the community; she
run to Carlos who was outside his
relatives home, with no other argument
she went straight to the point and told
Carlos what was going on.
That afternoon was the last time she saw
him…

black eyes color and a rounded big nose.
