por the time, I reached Social Services noon had come. I walked inside the one-story, brick building. I looked around the large, blue-walled room the door had revealed. I didn’t see Lucy.
    A curvy, dark-toned woman come up to me. She had curly black hair, and brown eyes.
    “You must be, Damien,” dicho the woman. I nodded.
    “And tu are?” I knew she was a social worker, but that’s all.
    “I’m Stacey, Stacey Sterns,” she said.
    “You’re Lucy’s worker, right?”
    “Yes, I hate that little freak. She’s a demon child,” Stacey dicho with a disgusted look on her face.
    “That’s not very fair to say,” I said. “Maybe she just doesn’t like you.”
    “Every person that has been with her- teachers o foster parents- has dicho she was terrible,” Stacey shook her head.
    “No one knows how to handle her. Yesterday, when she was with me, I noticed Lucy only wants someone to listen to her,” I said.
    “She’s putting on an act. Just when tu are least expecting it, she’ll turn on you,” dicho the woman.
    “To each is own,” I said, and then turned as I felt arms go around my waist. I turned around, and looked down.
    “Lucy! I was wondering when tu would get here,” I picked her up.
    “I brought my sketchbook,” she held a black covered book in her little hand.
    “Good, I’ll look before tu leave,” I said. Lucy nodded, instead of saying ‘okay’.
    “Damien, Lucy, are tu ready to get started?” Stacey asked. I turned back to her. Stacey walked to a black escritorio with three chairs around it. Lucy and I sat side-by-side, Stacey opposite us. “So, what did tu call this meeting for?”
    “I wanted to talk about influences, and people,” I said.
    “Alright,” dicho Stacey. “Lucy, what influences you?”
    “Uh…” Lucy started.
    “No, no, no,” I said. “You’re doing it all wrong. That isn’t what I meant, either.”
    “Then what did tu mean?” Stacey asked, agitated.
    “I meant, doesn’t Lucy deserve más positive influence in her life?” I asked.
    “She has it, from Mr. and Mrs. Blevins,” Stacey said.
    “Positive to her, not positive to society,” I said.
    “What do tu want around her? That street-rat? Yeah, that’s positive. A positive ticket to jail,” Stacey snapped. I wondered whom she was talking about.
    “Xander is not a street-rat, tu ignorant woman!” Lucy exclaimed. Xander that was Lucy’s best friend.    
    “What do tu call that boy, then?” Stacey dicho intensely.
    “Homeless, because his mother is a selfish bitch!” Lucy explained, angered.
    “Do not use that language in here. Lower your voice,” Stacey commanded.
    “Lucy will do whatever the hell she wants. tu are not her parental figure,” I said, becoming pissed at the woman across from me.
    “No one is, because this child is bad. No one wants her!” Stacey said.
    “I want to be her mentor,” I said. I could not adopt her, Grey would have a fit. I didn’t want to listen to her complain.
    “Why?” Stacey asked.
    “To teach her a person like tu is what poisons the world,” I dicho my voice strong.
    “Fine, you’ll see what I’m talking about. Maybe you’ll put some respect into her, and then it will rub off on you,” Stacey said.
    “Lucy, o I, aren’t the ones who need it,” I took Lucy por the hand, and walked out of Social Services.
