I was awoken by the sounds of knocking on my window. It was late at night so I was too nervous to even look. I wasn't about to get abducted.
The banging sounds on my window intensified and I groaned getting out of bed to go look at what was going on.
I was startled to see a tall figure standing outside my window. I reached for the knife in my drawer next to my bed. And yes I keep a knife.
I walked towards my window with a tight grip on the knife I had in my hand. "Are you insane", the loud familiar voice hit my ears. I looked and it was him.
"Uhm let me in", he said pointing at the window. What the hell was he doing at my house at this time."What are you doing with that?", he said looking over at the blade in my hand.
"Security reasons", I say bluntly. "What are you doing here?" I ask realizing the situation.
"You never texted me back" he said taking a seat on my desk. I thought to myself how crazy he was to drive up here because I didn't reply him.
"What?"
"You didn't reply".
"And you drove up here?"
"Why wouldn't I ?" He said leaning back on the seat. I was sure he was insane, he literally ignored me then kissed me now he's at my house.
"Well you need to leave my mom-"
"She doesn't really like me does she?"
"Alex"
"Well I don't blame her, I wouldn't too. Why did you tell her we're just classmates?"
Ugh I didn't really want to answer his question. I couldn't tell him that my mom didn't really like people like him.
"She's really strict?", I blurt out hoping he'll believe me.
"So che stai mentendo". ( I know you're lying).
"What does that mean?"
"Telling you takes away the fun bellisima" he answers and I pout my lips.( beautiful)
"Alex, it's really late", I say watching a smirk grow on his face.
"You really want me to leave that bad" he says walking over to me. He stops and we're so close. I'm sure he could hear my heart racing.
"Yes,I need to sleep. We have school tomorrow".
"You worry too much" he says tucking the curls lying on my face behind my ear.
"No I don't, I just need good grades".
What do you need them for?" He asks I stare at him dumb founded but his question.
"A good life", I answer.
"Good grades don't guarantee a good life" he quotes. This sounds ridiculous.
"Not everyone has opportunities and the easy way out".
"Well if you say so" he says like he's trying hard to agree with me.
"Well you still need to leave", I said folding my arms.
He wrapped his arm around my waist, lifting my chin with his other hand. "you still need to leave", flees out from my mouth and he chuckles.
"We both know you don't want me to", he said looking at me with his coffee colored brown eyes. They are so beautiful.
"Well I do", I said with a smirk growing on my face. "If you say so bellisima", he said planting a kiss on my forehead.
He walked over to the window, jumping down then walking over to his car. I watched him drive away then kept my knife back into my drawer and got back into my bed.
..........................
"You can't tell me you don't know about the party tomorrow", Crystal teased. "Ugh I'm sorry", I said sarcastically.
"We have to get into that party", Crystal said sounding absurd. "No we don't", I said getting my books out of my locker. "Yes we do, this is the last week of the semester", she said almost pleading. "Oh really I didn't notice", I said chuckling.
"Please just this one party", she pleaded. "Ugh fine but you owe me lunch", I said rolling my eyes. "What ever you want", she giggled.
~~~~~
I hated the school's lunch, it tasted horrible and I'm pretty sure the meat is fake. My stomach curled in disgust watching Asher chow down on the meatballs. He was eating like it was his last meal.
I looked over at Crystal and I could see the same expression on her face. We both burst out laughing watching Asher eat. "What". Asher mumbled while Crystal shoved him for talking with food in his mouth.
My laugh got interrupted by the sight of a familiar dark haired boy. She had her hands all over him as they walked over to their table. I was shocked to see him with her after everything that happened between us.
Ugh why am I so stupid?
"Are you okay?", Asher questioned from the look on my face. "Just forget about him", Crystal said knowing why I was angry.
"What's going on?", Asher asked again looking concerned. "I'm fine". I answered looking over at the dark haired boy. He looked back at me and we continued to stare at each other till I broke the gaze.
"Just forget about the whole situation, Crystal said giving me a reassuring smile. I smiled back at her but my smile was broken from seeing the text I had just received.
It was him.
Alex~ it's not what you think it is
He must be crazy if he thought I was going to fall into his lies and manipulation. I was done falling for his excuses.
I left the cafeteria and walked over to the library, yeah I go to the library for fresh air. No one is ever here and I don't think most students know it exists.
"Hey Maria", I waved greeting the old lady. She had been our school librarian for decades, it sometimes shocked me that she was still here.
"Running away from people?", she asked with a grin. "You know it". I chuckled finding my way to my spot.
I sat there with a romance novel in my hand. It was nothing like the books I loved to read but it could do.
"Hey hey". I heard Maria yell, what was going on?
To my surprise I was met with familiar coffee-colored eyes. Ugh could this get any worse, how did he know I was here.
"What are you doing here?, I asked with distaste.
"I've been looking for you, he grinned leaning towards the me.
I took a step back then asked again, "what are you doing here".
"This is a school library, I can be here if I want".
"Okay then", I said turning to leave when he caught my wrist.
"Please stop making this hard!", he half yelled.
"I'm making this hard?"
"Yeah you are".
"Okay".
"Is this about Dalia?". He said pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Since you put it that way", I added staring at him.
"Why are you looking at me like that?, I'm not fucking her". He said looking serious as ever but he could still be lying.
"What was she doing in your house?".
"She came over on her own, I didn't call her".
"Why should I believe you?".
"Please do". He said looking like he was about to breakdown. I felt bad but why was he always holding her?
"No I can't Alex, you don't choose when you get to play Romeo or not".
"I'm sorry".
"Won't we the first time I've heard that".
"Fine I'm really sorry, I'm sorry for always doing this with her. Okay I'll cut her off please just don't hate me". He said cupping my cheek.
"Why should I trust you".
"You shouldn't but please just forgive me".
"I'll think about it, just give me time", I lied I knew I already forgave him but I still couldn't trust him.
"So why do you keep walking with her like that?" I asked taking a seat on top the desk.
"She likes me even though I've made it clear I don't see her that way also her dad is business partners with mine. if you don't like her I'll stop talking to her", he said brushing his thumb over my cheek.
