you're the one.|| vinnie hacker

025

i couldn't understand why vinnie lied to my face saying he didn't know emily, but then he literally gave her my number a second later.

i started thinking that maybe i was the problem. i wanted to discuss about this thing with him, but i didn't feel it was the right time, or maybe it never would be.

"hey anna, are you there?" charli said to me noticing i wasn't listening to what she was talking about.

"uhm, yeah, sorry what did you say?" i tried not to think about vinnie anymore. he was literally stressing me out.

"you sure you're okay?" i nodded because i wanted to listen to what she had to say.

i wanted to seem and be a good friend. "well, i'm apart of a tiktok house and they are threwing a party tomorrow night. isn't it an amazing opportunity for you to meet other people?"

this really surprised me. i didn't expect to attend a party few days later i got here. "i don't know, i'm not into social medias and it would be awkward."

"c'mon it's gonna be fun, also many members of the house come to this school, so it isn't gonna be weird at all. you're gonna make new friends!" charli tried to convince me. she was kinda right cause i probably would have felt more comfortable having more school friends.

"maybe you're right, but i have to ask vinnie's parents for permission. i hope they will allow me" i said while we were walking through the hallway.

"oh it won't be a problem." i looked at her confused. "vinnie's gonna be there too, i suppose they trust him, so they're gonna let you come."

for a moment i forgot that vinnie is tiktok famous too, so of course he was going to be there. "right, but you know what? i don't think it's a great idea. i also have to keep up with school stuff."

"oh c'mon, you'll deal with it another day." charli was really trying to convince me, so i gave up and she started giggling. "but now, tell me what you were thinking about earlier."

"it's not a big deal, seriously" i didn't' want to bore her with my stupid things.

charli looked at me and said: "c'mon i'm doing the best i can to make you feel comfortable, we're friends, right? you can tell me everything"

i smiled and she was really trying to make me feel comfortable. i didn't understand how some people could hate her, she was such a sweet person. "okay, but it's a stupid thing." i finally decided to speak up.

"i'll decide if it's stupid or not, now tell me." i laughed for what she said and then i continued: "you remember when yesterday the professor paired me up with that emily girl." she nodded. "well, i asked vinnie if she knew her so that i could have gotten her number, he said no and went back to his room without even looking at me."

i stopped talking for a second because i noticed a weird look on charli's face. "uhm, everything okay?" i asked her.

"yeah yeah keep going." she reassured me and even though i wasn't really convinced, i contunued: "well, i went back to my room and after some minutes i got a text. it was emily and when i asked her how she got my number, she told me vinnie gave it to her after she asked for it."

"at first i thought you gave it to her or maybe addison, i didn't expect vinnie." i continued. "now tell me if it's stupid or not." i looked at charli and she was just looking at me without saying a word.

after more than a minute, she had a little smile on her face, but i could tell it was forced, and then said: "that's it? you're definitely overthinking. anyway it's not your fault, just give vinnie some space."

she was right, i came into his life all of a sudden, he just had to get used to me being with him 24/7, even though he didn't seem bothered the first days i got here.

"anyways, i forgot the notebook in history class, i'll be right back. see you in english class." she suddenly said and ran way, not even letting me say a word.

i kept walking through the hallway to get to the english class, but i remembered i had to take some books in my locker.

fortunately i remembered the hallway that charli showed me when we were doing a little tour of the school. it was bigger than my other school in italy, but despite the fact that i had a bad sense of orientation i still managed to remember the right way.

i was pretty sure my parents would have been proud of that, because when i was kid i would always get lost.

i almost arrived there, when i saw charli standing not much far from me and i wanted to get to her, but i stopped when i recognised vinnie. fortunately they didn't notice me, so i tried to hide behind my opened locker.

that was weird, charli said she was going to history class, but as she showed me, it was in the opposite side of the school.

maybe she was going there and met vinnie and they started talking. but it didn't seem like a normal talk, she looked like she was talking fastly and she was trying not to make other people listen, while vinnie was pretty focused on what she was saying.

"what are you doing?" a male voice behind my back scared me. i turned around and i saw mattia having a smirk on his face. "you're alone? charli's not with you?"

"i was just taking some books." i said grabbing the first book i saw in my locker. "and yea, charli is waiting for me in english class. you have it too, so let's not be late." i closed my locker and tried to go away from there as fast as i could.

but it didn't go as planned, because mattia said out loud: "look, charli's there" i stopped walking and i didn't want to turn around. "come here." mattia said taking my arm and getting me close to them.

i was pretty embarassed, cause they obviously didn't want to be bothered. they looked so focused while they were talking. "

"oh uhm i was about to get my notebook and i met vinnie." charli said quickly. "but now it's too late, so let's go, i'll think about it later."

as soon as she spoke, we all started walking through the hallway. i was so focused on thinking about what i saw not even 5 minutes ago, that i didn't realise we were arrived at english class, but the door was closed already. shit, another time being late.

"we really have to do this? who wants to skip class?" mattia said ironically raising his hand. i laughed and i was tempted by it, but i couldn't: i already had to keep up with the math class and it was more than enough.

"you know what, let's fucking skip this class." vinnie suddenly said. both me and charli looked at them to understand if they were serious, and apparently they were. vinnie and mattia turned around and started walking like nothing happened, while me and charli looked at each other shaking our heads.

"you're not gonna come?" vinnie said causing a surprised look on my face.

i really couldn't understand if he hated me and needed some space or what. i looked at charli to understand what she wanted to do and she was smiling. it probably meant she wanted us to go with them.

"nah i don't want to be around you now." i said teasing vinnie. after all, he had been doing the same.

"you already live with me, so i don't think it would be a problem, c'mon it's gonna be fun." vinnie said and without even thinking about it twice me and charli ran into their direction, being aware of the fact we would have been grounded if somebody caught us.
