Really solid character work here. The detail about the Donkey Kong ladder trick and how it doesnt matter to anyone else perfectly captures that middle school hierarchy anxiety. That moment at the theater when she calls him Andy instead of Andrés hits so hard, especially layerd against his earlier pride in being noticed.

Thanks a lot. Middle school was a special time for me. I tried to capture some of that feeling in this story.
