Hi, I’m M.E. which stands for MariaElena. People always get my name mixed up with
Mary Ellen or Mary Elizabeth so I like just using the initials. It’s easier. I come from a
large Hispanic family—we’re from Mexico. I speak Spanish at home with my parents, and
English at school and with my friends. I look like my madre. We both have long dark hair
and brown eyes, and we love to wear colorful clothes with sparkles and glitter. I’m kind
of known for my funny socks and creative outfits. My three brothers are older than me
and they tease me a lot. But I love them.
I met Quinn and Luke at summer camp, in a class called Cryptology for Kids. That’s
when we formed the Code Busters Club. I’m so glad Cody joined, otherwise I would have
been the only girl. She’s my best friend now. I wish I lived next door to her, but I’m only a
block away. She says I have a lot of “energy,” which is probably true. But she’s braver
than me. I’m kind of a chicken when it comes to doing scary stuff—like sneaking into a
burned out house or meeting up with a mountain lion. But who wouldn’t be scared about
that?
I’ll write more later, after I get done with my homework. Unless I get a coded note from
one of the Code Busters about something mysterious…
