Reputation: Seen Differently (Book #1)

• Part. 24 • ~ "Gorgeous!" ~

"You went to my what? You can trust me." I tell him squeezing his hand

"I-um. I had to do something so I went to your-"

Loud police sirens started ringing around us and Luca instantly looked around trying to find them.

"I need to go. Bye!" He says dropping my hand and starting to walk away.

"Talk to me!" I say softly reaching for his hand.

"I can't, I'm sorry. I need to go!" He pulls his hand away slowly and walks away without looking back.

I shake my head and sigh when all of a sudden everyone starts cheering again. I turn around to see people cheering for Jordan and we went from six to twelve points. I walk to the bleachers and give Jordan a smile from there. I grab my purse and my nachos. I didn't like what just happened between me and Luca but if he wasn't ready to talk about something then I wouldn't force him. Perhaps, I did wish for him to tell me and trust me but we all have secrets, and secrets are sometimes meant to be kept to ourselves.

After game, Jordan gives me and Kate a ride. The score ended in a tie so they would rematch but this time at Jackson High School and next week on Tuesday. I walk inside our house and see Andrew in here with a girl. She had her hair curly but it was ironed, just like mine. I look down my still curly hair and run a finger through it.

Her back seemed so fucking familiar to me. I wanted this woman to turn around.

"Andrew, who's this?" Kate sassed.

"Meet my girlfriend, Cynthia!"

She turns around and there it was. Cynthia Pierce, the bitch herself. I stare at her and glare at my brother.

"Cynthia? How did you two meet mhm?"

"In a library. I was studying, he was being loud so I told him off and the rest is for another time. How was Jordan's game?"

"How do you know we were at Jordan's game and not somewhere else?"

"I figured you'd be there since Jordan is your best friend. Although there's plenty of rumors saying you might date Jord, and that in the end you were the other boys fling."

She mentioned Luca. I clench my fist and feel my anger rise as she just stand there flashing me a fake smile. How badly I want to pull those fake hair extensions off her nappy, thick hair.

"Damn. Alessia, you should never be someone's fling. You have to make sure you're going to be with someone long term."

I turn to look at Andrew and smirk. Knowing what I'm going to say next will piss him off.

"Oh, do you speak from experience, brother? I think we all know by now that you were simply Alison's fling. Fucking her on the side while she was dating your best friend. Should I call Jake and remind him of that? Of how he should still beat your ass up for stealing his girl..."

His smile falls off his face and I can practically see him fuming. I raise an eyebrow in amusement and all he does is send me death stares.

"Jake? Was he that cute one that would hang out with the Ricci's?" Kate asks

"Yeah, the one with the fluffy brown hair and the emerald green eyes."

"Mhm, interesting. Last I heard Alison was trying to get back with him. Obviously no one wants seconds, especially not when your best friend was the one doing her." Kate scoffs as she walks up the stairs.

"A proposito, non sono l'avventura di nessuno, figlio di puttana." (By the way I'm no one's fling, motherfucker!)

"What the hell did you just say Alessia?"
