## Throughout the Series

Monse and Olivia met in Chapter Two at Ruby's house. The next day they walk to school together and talk about Texas. Olivia also said that Monse gave her a tour around the neighborhood.

Then in Chapter Three, they get their lunch together and Monse tells Olivia that dances in Freeridge aren't like the ones in Houston, as people usually go there to have sex. The two then meet up with the boys and they get into an argument with them because they don't want to be treated as just sex toys. The girls then leave and after a talk with Cesar, Monse tells Olivia that they should go to the dance after all.

In Chapter Five Olivia "suckers" Monse to hang out with her and Jasmine at Ruby’s house. There, the two of them get grossed out by Jasmine touching Olivia's clothes and personal hygiene. They then get her to leave by making her feel guilty for using them to get information on Ruby.

After she leaves the two of them have boy talk. Monse tells Olivia that she had hooked up with a guy over the summer (Cesar) but she doesn't say his name. She then says that if she gets with him the crew will fall apart. Olivia asks if any of the boys have had a girlfriend. Monse denies that. Monse then tells Olivia that the reason she's so uptight and high-maintenance is because she doesn't have anybody to have boy talk with since the crew is made up of boys (she's the only girl) and all she has at home is her father. She also tells Olivia about her absent mother, and says her absence might explain why she has never became friends with any girls. Olivia then says that Monse is a total "girl's girl". But Monse denies that by saying that being a "girl's girl" means having girlfriends (friends who are girls).

And she's never even had one before. Until now. Olivia tells her that now she's her girlfriend and she shouldn't be afraid of the boys' reaction. Monse then says that she's done talking about her problems and now its Olivia's turn, who lets out that she kissed someone. Monse asks who it was but Jamal interrupts them every time. During a game of "Smash, Marry, Kill" with the boys Olivia tells Monse about her kiss with Cesar. Monse doesn't take it well, and as soon as Cesar comes in the door she yells out that they kissed.

Picking up where they left off in Chapter Six, Monse is still mad that Cesar kissed Olivia. Jasmine asks Olivia if she knew they were having sex. So Olivia asks if Cesar was the guy Monse told her about, but Monse quickly changes the subject to pointing out that Ruby is in love with Olivia. Jamal asks if they can acknowledge the fact that he was able to keep this a secret, which angers all of them that he knew about it. So everyone leaves, completely furious.

The next day at school, Ruby, Monse, and Cesar are sitting at a table eating lunch. Olivia walks in surprised that they're cool again. They say they are but secretly are not as they make indirect hurtful comments to one another. They all storm out. Olivia asks Jamal for advice and pretty much tells him what Monse told her, which he reports back to Ruby.

At the football game, everyone is incredibly hostile towards each other especially Monse and Ruby. He tells her that he's starting to think that the rumor that was spread over the summer wasn't just a rumor but was the truth. She tries to deny it and the situation continues to escalate. Olivia frequently tries to seize the fighting but they all continue until she reaches her breaking point and yells at them in Spanish. She then tells them to talk behind the bleachers.

She tells them that despite what may or not have happened over the summer, they love each other. They're a family and they've now become her family. So they need to work out this issue whether they want to or not. So she apologizes for kissing Cesar, but Monse says that it's not her fault. Olivia says that she didn’t know one kiss would do so much damage, but Monse says that it's all on her and that she's been lying to everyone and needs to come clean. Cesar tells her that she doesn't need to to do this but she says that she does. So she says that she was into Cesar, had a big crush on him, told him before she left for camp, but she lies and says that he didn't feel the same way. Olivia and Ruby tell her to stop talking, but she continues. She says that after she told him she left for camp and that Cesar told Oscar's homies they smashed to protect her but nothing more. She then apologizes to Olivia for not telling the truth and yelling out that they kissed. She says it was out of jealousy and that's in the past now. Olivia tells Monse that she's amazing and they hug. They then all go congratulate Jamal on winning the football game and all leave.

Next in Chapter Seven Monse is still a little uncomfortable with Olivia and Cesar dating but they are still friends. When it's revealed that Olivia's quince is approaching Monse comforts her after she goes to her room. She tries to comfort her in a "girly" way. Olivia tells her, Cesar, and Ruby that she's hurt that she's gonna spend her quince without her parents. But Ruby convinces her to do it in honor of them. Monse helps Olivia with the choreography however Ruby's harsh coaching and insistence of everything being perfect upsets all of them including Olivia. So she asks Monse to calm him down but to no avail.

In Chapter Eight Monse informs Olivia that their old classmate, Latrelle, rolled up on her and Cesar and it's now on social media. She's really stressed because her and Cesar haven't spoken in a few days. Cesar comes and reassures them that he's alright and they need to keep Olivia distracted.

At Ruby's house Monse and Olivia are doing their homework when Olivia asks Monse what happened the night Latrelle rolled up on her and Cesar. But Cesar confessed his feelings for her that night so she decides not to tell Olivia to spare her feelings. When her dress arrives Monse ruins the mood by saying negative comments. So Ruby sends her to his room. After Monse sees that her supposed mother needs a babysitter Monse decides to leave and reassures Olivia that she and Cesar are going to be fine

Next in Chapter Nine Olivia calls Monse and texts her to ask where Cesar is. He is actually with Monse as they slept together. Olivia calls her back in when her, Ruby, and Jamal are looking for the RollerWorld money. She tries to give her as little information as possible to not let her worry. So she hangs up

Finally in Chapter Ten it's Olivia's quince and everybody is dressed for the occasion. Monse isn't all that thrilled because she feels that Jamal ruined their chances of saving Cesar. However she tries to put on a tough face for Olivia. When Cesar comes he tells Ruby and Monse that he didn't kill Latrelle but he's out of town. He and Monse start to get really close and Olivia starts to get jealous. So before the annual dance, Olivia calls off her relationship with Cesar as she knows that neither of their hearts are really in it anyways.

Then it's time for the annual dance. Olivia dances with Ruby and Monse dances with Cesar. After the dance Monse pulls Olivia aside to help her with her hair. Monse tries to fix it but she has no idea what she's doing so Olivia does it herself. She then thanks Monse for having her back then Monse immediately tells her that she and Cesar are just friends, but Olivia is not buying it. She tells Monse that she knows that there has been something between them before she even got there. She tells her that she knows that Cesar is the guy she hooked up with over the summer and that she doesn't know how to be feminine. She tells her that she knows and loves her. She then says that whatever sense of loyalty she's feeling to forget it and to be loyal to herself and to stop trying to please everybody but herself. She says that life is too short and that she should go be with Cesar and consider it as a birthday gift, and then they hug.

Then they, along with their now boyfriends, Ruby and Cesar start to dance and have a good time...until Latrelle returns and aims tries to shoot Cesar but misses and hits Ruby and Olivia. They start to bleed and loose all their breath.
