After those two very eventful days, then came a day that I had been dreading. Monday
I tried all the tricks I know to avoid going to school but apparently my brothers were used to it
So here I am, getting ready for school with a grumpy look on my face. I just want to lay in bed all day, curse the motherfucker who invented school
"Gabriella get downstairs now!" Antonio yelled for the fifth time this morning
I sighed and sluggishly made my way downstairs where everyone was present, waiting for me
"You look horrible" Matteo commented and I gave him a blank look
"Go have breakfast so we can leave" Stephano said as he glanced down at his watch
"I'm not hungry, let's just go" I said lowly and made my way to the car with close to zero energy
Upon reaching the very crowded school, I sighed in exasperation. I don't know what is wrong with me today but I'm just really tired
It wasn't helping that Damon was leaning more than half his weight on my shoulder
"Get your hand off me" I grumbled and shoved him away
"So damn violent" I heard him mumble from behind me
I walked into the school to be greeted by my gang
"Girl what's up, you look not very pretty today" Lexi said as she touched the ends of my hair
"Don't be rude Lexi. You look lovely Ella" Blake said and ruffled my already messy hair
"Thanks" I said and tried to straighten my hair
"Let me help you, come" Aria said and led me to the washroom
"Don't take what Lexi said seriously, she's been like that for a while now. I asked her about it before and she said she's having some family issues" She said as she combed my hair and helped me put it in a cute messy bun
"I don't know. Maybe she's just stressed because of it" I said, now that I properly thought about it, she has been acting really weird.
She avoids the group constantly and when she does show up, she behaves really weirdly. I hope she's okay though
"There's the pretty girl I know" I heard Aria say as she turned me so I could look at the mirror
I didn't even notice that she had done my makeup. It was mild but pretty, I definitely look better than I did when I came into the school
"Damn Aria thanks. What would I do without you?" I said still admiring the myself
"Nothing that's what" she said and I rolled my eyes
We left the washroom and I immediately went for my first class. Luckily the teacher hasn't arrived or I would probably get detention
I saw Alessio in the class and when he saw me, I noticed how tense he became. What's wrong with him?
I sat down at my seat which just happens to be next to his. Just then the teacher walked in and Alessio immediately raised his hand
"Yes Me Sartori?"
"Can I please get another seat?" He asked and I frowned subtly
"Yes of course. Miss Jane please swap seats with Mr Sartori" the teacher said and a red haired girl came and sat next to me
"Hi, I'm Maria Jane" the girl said, she had this cute bubbly smile on her face and I suddenly didn't have the heart to ignore her
"Gabriella De'Luca" I said with a slight smile still unable to stop thinking about Alessio's strange behavior
Maria and I made small talks throughout the class and I got to know that she has three older brothers and one younger brother. She's pretty cool to hang out with
"Well bye for now Maria. It was nice talking to you but I got to get to my English class" I said and she offered a small smile
"Bye" she said and gave me a hug
Timeskip- Lunch
I got to our table and saw everyone there, except Alessio of course who I didn't see in the cafeteria
"Here you go. We got this for you" Aria said and handed me a burger and a chocolate milkshake
"Thank you" I said and dung in hungrily
After eating, the bell rang and I left for class with Landon and Noah.
"How have you been?" Noah asked as he swung his hand over my shoulder
"I've been okay" I said and they both gave me that 'i don't believe you' look
"I'm okay, seriously" I assured them, they still looked unconvinced but chose to let it go
On the way, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach and I winced. I tried to ignore it but it felt like it was getting worse by the second
"Ella are you okay?" Landon asked as he grabbed onto my arm
"I'm fine, my stomach just hurts a little bit" I said as my vision got blurred
What the hell is happening to me?
The pain grew worse and it felt like I was being stabbed. I began to crack my brain for any possible explanation as to why I was feeling like this and just as I was about to lose consciousness, I remembered the food I ate at lunch
What did they put in my food?
Was the only thought in my head before everything went blank
~~~~~~~
The next time I woke up, I found myself in the hospital wing in the house with my brothers surrounding me
"What happened?" I croaked out and was immediately handed some water by Leonardo
"Gabriella, poison was detected in your bloodstream. It was spreading very quickly, the doctors had to flush it out. We almost lost you bambina" Antonio said with a slight shake in his voice
My mind went back to the food that was given to me and I cursed under my breath. Someone tried to kill me
"Can I please get my phone?. I'm also going to need you guys to give me some space I'm really tired" I said and with alot of arguments, I finally managed to persuade them to leave
I took my phone and made a phone call to the only people I can trust right now
"Ella are you okay? We were so worried about you. You just passed out and we thought something really bad happened to you. Goodness please tell me you're okay" Noah rambled immediately he picked up
"Noah I'm fine. Are you guys alone?" I asked
"We're at our apartment" I heard Ethan's voice
"We left school immediately your brothers did" Landon explained
"I think someone from the group tried to kill me" I said with certainty
"What?!" Ethan yelled through the phone
"Gabriella are you sure of what you're saying?. Who would want to do that?" Noah asked
"I'm not an idiot Noah. I wouldn't say it if I wasn't sure" I assured them
"I will kill whoever dared to harm you" Landon growled from the other end of the phone
"Can you tell me who ordered my food for me please?" I asked. I know for certain that it isn't Aria. She may have given me the food but I know she wasn't the one who poisoned it
"Oh my god" Ethan said in shock
"What? Who is it?" I asked eager to find out who the rat is
"How is this possible?" Landon mumbled
"Fuckin tell me who the fuck did it!" I snapped in anger
"Lexi.."
