Alberto Scorfano X Annabella (oc) 《Childhood Crush》

● Sea Monster! ●

(Annabella Pov)

For the past few days, everyone has been in inteanse training. Everyone has been busy. For all I did was encouraged everyone with their parts. Mainly, I've been helping train Alberto with his part.

Every day he's been getting better and better, few on days he's hungry as a hippo and other days...let's say I had to get my shirt washed. Twice.

Giulia wakes them up every morning as all I do is help them and give them support.

While that was going on, Mr. Massimo was taking Alberto more and more often to the coast sea to fish out more. Alberto did seem pretty happy whenever he did went fishing with Massimo.

(Timeskip with many traning, many blushing moments and throw ups later..)

Only one day for the race. As it, tomorrow.

It was the afternoon.

We've all decided to focus more with Lucas traning in bike as Alberto took his pasta as he rode at the back of the bike, as I was while Giulia rode infront with Luca

We all sat in the bike, afraid of falling off but thanks to Alberto. He was holding me onto the bike so I wouldn't fall, I smile over to Alberto as I see him...he looked kinda upset.

"You can do it Luca!" Giulia cheers for him as Luca kept on going excitingly

"Luca!"

"Huh?" I turn over Alberto shoulders to see a lady and a man running towards us.

"Um, hey Luca? There's a--"

"Hold on!" Luca yells to me as we turn the corner to an alley way. After then, the faint calls for Luca started going away

"Um, did you see that?" I ask Alberto as he shruggs his shoulders.

"Beats me."

"Uhm, where are we going?" Giulia asks Luca

"Uh...a short cut." Luca says as he starts to speed up more to the hill

"Steeper, rough terrain...I like it! Why aren't you training?" Giulia asks behind me as Alberto groans and shoves a pasta into his mouth

"I'm always training, isn't that right Annabella?" Alberto asks me, as I nod and smile over to Giulia. She sighs and shakes her head

After getting over the hill, we come to a stop to the edge of it. We all got off as we let Luca relax, almost about to fall off until Alberto catches me almost about to hit the ground

"T-thanks Alberto" I thank him, he smiles down at me until he looks over to Luca and Giulia looking upset.

"Bravo Luca! That was your fastest yet!" Giulia tells him, before we continued on we see a hear a train horn toot and passing by

"Ooh, guys look! That's the train to Genova."

"That goes to your school?"

"Yeah. Me and Annabella are going to take it" Giulia tells Luca, hearing Alberto scoff I turn to him. He didn't look so happy like he was before...maybe something happened between him and Luca? They dont seem as talking much after Giulia took Luca to see the stars...

"I was wondering, actually...is your school open to everyone?" Luca asks Giulia and me about to answer until Alberto puts his arms around my shoulder

"Come on Luca, we gotta focus on the training!" Alberto tells him, feeling my cheeks blush at his arm around me as he brings me close to his chest. I felt nothing but butterflies in my stomach by how close we were
