you're the one.|| vinnie hacker

024

the lessons were finally done. today was only my first day and many things happened. i wondered how the rest of the year was gonna be like. before going out of the class me, charli, addison and avani gave each others our phone number so that we could have texted later.

after the lessons were done, i saw vinnie running out of the class as fast as possbile, he didn't even wait for me or look at me. i should have expected that, he seemed too nice the first time i met him, of course he wasn't gonna be like that.

now i was standing next to vinnie's car, hoping that reggie would have showed up soon. that kid was the only one that could save me now.

"hey sorry for making you guys wait." reggie finally showed up, thinking it was me and vinnie there. but it wasn't, in fact his face was questioning why vinnie wasn't there with me. "where's my brother?"

"i don't know, he ran out of the class and didn't wait for me. he probably had things to do." i told him still looking around hoping i would have seen him.

"swear to god, that kid is weird. i'm sorry for how he's acting." i smiled slightly cause reggie was so nice and was trying not to make me regret of coming here.

"it's not your fault, but thank you. i came into your life out of nowhere, i'm a stranger, so i think he needs some time to get used to me." i just thought about this, and it was probably this the reason why vinnie was acting weird.

after about 10 minutes, vinnie showed up as nothing happened. neither me nor reggie said a single word. we just got into the car and waited for vinnie to start the car to get home. "i'm sorry for leaving you alone earlier."

oh now he was apologising?

i didn't say anything, i just nodded and looked at him through the rearview mirror since he was doing the same. i preferred reggie to sit in the front because i didn't feel like being next to vinnie now. i wanted also to give him some space.

we arrived home and i couldn't wait to lay in the bed and rest a little bit. i was so tired and wanted to spend some time by myself. nate and maria weren't home, it was great because i shouldn't have explained myself to anyone.

i scrolled a little through instagram and tiktok, where i saw videos from charli, addison and avani. they probably made them while we were at school. we also started following each other on social medias before leaving school. i liked the videos and the i decided to go downstairs to get some food since i was hungry.

i hoped i wouldn't run into anybody, but not everything goes how you want. vinnie had the same idea of mine: he was making himself a coffee and a sandwich with peanut butter. i didn't say anything and neither did he.

i toasted the slices of bread. i waited couple minutes and then i turned around to grab the peanut butter. i almost had it in my hands, but vinnie took it quickly: "i'm not done yet."

i rolled my eyes and said: "i'm not gonna finish it all, i just need a little of it and i'll go back to my room." he didn't look at me and he acted like i didn't say a word, so i got closer to grab the peanut butter, but he blocked my arm and i felt a thrill: "what part of 'i'm not done yet' you don't get?"

swear to god i was about to freak out. i wanted to give him some space and everything he needed but he was making it difficult. i didn't say anything and after few seconds he chuckled. i was shocked. not even a minute ago he seemed mad and now he was chuckling?

he looked away and let me finally make my sandwich. there was a long minute of silence, so i decide to break it by saying: "do you know who that emily girl is? do you have her number?"

as soon as those words came out of my mouth i saw his jaw clenching. i didn't really care about his reaction cause he had been treating me weird these past days and he didn't care about me, so.

"no i don't know her." he said without even looking at me and left the kitchen. i rolled my eyes, but at least i was able to eat my sandwich in peace.

i went back to my room and i tried to calm myself down. from now on i decided to completely ignore him, even thought that was not what i wanted. he seemed so nice at first and i couldn't believe he was acting weird not even a week after we met.

a text made my screen light up and i looked over:

*unknown number*

sup anna, it's emily from math class.
text me back asap so i can help you out.

it was emily, she actually seemed nice and willing to help me even thought she didn't even know me.

me
hi emily, i'm free whenever you want. also, thank you, i really appreciate it.

i wondered how she got my number, maybe it was charli or some of the girls.

me
uhm, i don't wanna to seem rude or anything, but how did you get my number?

it took some time for her to replay, maybe she was busy or she was already thinking about meeting up. after few minutes she texted me back:

emily
no probs, i'm used to tutor other people. oh and actually vinnie gave me your number, i asked him. :)

you've got to be kidding me. not even 10 minutes ago he told me he didn't know emily and went back to his room, and now this emily girl was telling me he gave her my number. i was about to freak out.
