you're the one.|| vinnie hacker

i looked towards vinnie hoping for some encouragement, but all he could do was holding back his laugh. really useful vinnie, thank you.

i faked a smile and i was about to go in, then the principal said: "thank you vincent for coming here with her, but you should go, you don't wanna miss your class, do you?"

"of course not, uh anna i-" he couldn't even listen what vinnie was saying because the principal closed the door behind his back. his office was a classic one, a desk, a big library behind it and many papers everywhere. what a beautiful life.

"nice to meet you, anna. i'm mr smith, the principal of this school and i'm so glad you got to study here for the next 6 months." he seemed pretty nice, for now of course.

"it's nice to meet you too mr smith. thank you for accepting me" i tried to be cordial and nice.

"uh tell me again what's your name, please?" he asked while he was looking for some papers on his desk.

"anna martini, sir." i quickly said and after few seconds he gave me few papers saying: "this is gonna be your class schedule for the next months, but you can still change a few if you need to. we tried to make up the best version possible according to your preferences."

i gave a quick look but i didn't say anything since i would have seen it better as soon as i was out of the office. "thank you, i'm pretty sure there aren't gonna be any changes."

as soon as i was done talking the door behind my back opened and i turned to see who it was: a brown headed girl entered the office. she was as tall as me, she had straigh and long hair and i could see she had many freakles on her nose. i loved freakles.

"mr smith i'm sorry for being late, but i got a family problem." she said while her face was turning a little red. then she turned towards me and said: "she's the new girl right?"

"yes she is and don't worry because we just finished here and now she's all yours" 

excuse me, what? what did he mean?

we quickly said 'goodbye' and immediately got out of the office. i still had in my hands the paper he gave be before, so not to lose them, i put them quickly in my backpack.

"you must me anna, right? tell me if i said it wrong." she said chuckling. "i'm charli."

"yep it's me, nice to meet you." she seemed so nice and i hoped we could have become friends, specially because she reminded me of chiara.

"so, i'll show you the school, at least the most important places, like the gym, the cafeteria and your locker. if you let me see your schedule, i can also show you your classes."

i did as she said and fortunately all my classes were on the same floor and pretty close to each other. couldn't have been better.

"we also have this class in common, crazy right? it's gonna be fun." she said giggling. "if you don't know anyone yet you can sit next to me and have lunch with me and my friends, so you won't be alone."

i immediately smiled. she was so nice and i was glad she offered me to be with her for a while. before getting here i was afraid i would have spent the most of the time alone, but fortunately charli and vinnie welcomed me warmly.

"okay so, that's the cafeteria, where we all have lunch, but you can come here also if you want to study or do your homework." it was such a cool place and i actually couldn't wait to come here in few hours.

"thank you for showing me everything, but i think we should go now, i don't want you to miss another class." i said as i felt a little guilty.

"you're kidding right? i'm so excited for you to be here. everyone is wondering who you are because you're italian and they wanna know you." as those words came out of her mouth a shocked expression made form on my face.

i literally told vinnie before that i was no one here so nothing could happen to me and now charli was telling me this. what's so special about being italian?

"oh no i must have scared you, i didn't mean it, i said that in a positive way. i'm pretty sure you're gonna make many friends here." charli said noticing the expression on my face.

i smiled lightly. i really hoped she was right. i didn't want to be in the spotlight but i didn't want to live this experience by myself, even though i already had vinnie by my side, i supposed.

suddenly a bell rang and charli said: "now there's a little break where usually you can take books or whatever from your locker." as she was talking she was looking at me and i noticed she was about to hit a random guy.

"oh charli be careful, you're gonn h-" oops, too late. she turned towards the guy and i was expecting she wanted to apologise, instead charli's face turned a little red, while the guy chuckled and helped her not to fall.

"charli are you okay?" he kindly asked with a deep voice. the first thing i noticed was his accent, it was familiar.

"uh yeah mattia don't worry, i'm sorry, i was showing anna the school and-"

mattia? that mattia? i was looking at him and he turned towards me wondering if i was the 'anna' that charli was talking about.

"yep it's me." i giggled. "nice to meet you."

"i'm mattia, nice to meet ya." he said kindly but he soon turned towards charli. he was so focused on her.

they talked a little more when the other bell rang. now i really had to go to the class. i didn't want to miss the whole day.

"uhm so, i guess i'll se you later charli." mattia said a little shy. he didn't seem a shy person, but the opposite, but maybe charli had this effect on him.

"yeah sure, see ya." charli turned a little red. mattia turned towards me and waved to me and i did the same.

"where were we?" charli tried to change the topic.

"who was that guy?" i chuckled and charli turned even more red. "uuhh someone's blushing."

"i'm not, we're just friends." she looked down. "by the way he's italian, like you, so maybe you could get along."

"yeah vinnie talked to me about him."

"oh you already met vinnie, how?" she was pretty surprised. "he's cute, huh?"

"uhm yeah he is, but basically he's hosting me for the next 6 months."

charli started laughing and after noticing my confused face said: "you don't know how many girls of this school would die to be you."

i laughed cause i didn't consider myself that lucky. yeah vinnie was cute, but he was a normal guy and most important thing, i was dating daniele.

"oh shit we should really go, we're late for the next lesson." charli took my arm and we started walking the fastest as possible trying to arrive safe and in time at the english class.
