Not Just My Best Friend

Chapter 6

Luca's POV:

I ran away from Alberto because we were playing tag. I was scared I was gonna lose anyway. I kept walking to this weird building.. Pretty sure it's abandoned. I kept walking..walking..

I heard a voice yell, "Hi!!" I looked back and saw this guy that looked my age.. I examined him closely, his blue eyes, blonde hair, and his skin looked soft. I went up to him, "Hey.. Who are you?" I asked. "I'm new around this neighborhood. Could you maybe show me around?" He asked.

"Uhh.." I thought about Alberto.. He's probably worried. I shrugged. "Sure, I'll show you around!" I happily said. "What's your name by the way?" The guy asked. "Oh my name is Luca. What about you?" I asked back. "Eli." He said. (SORRY I CAN'T THINK OF ANY ITALIAN NAMES) "Cool name!"

After Showing Eli Around:

We both headed our way into this building me and Alberto were in when we were playing tag. "So.. Thanks for showin' me around. I finally know where to go when I want to go biking!" He said with a smile. "You go biking too?" I asked happily. "Yeah, I do! Maybe we can go biking together." Eli smirked. "Sure." I said.

Alberto's POV:

I couldn't find Luca ANYWHERE. I was starting to get worried so I went back to our favorite building. I looked around..and saw a guy talking? I crept closer, and saw Luca?! I was confused, why is he with him? Who is he?

"Well, thanks again!" The guy said. Luca hummed. I saw them getting closer.. What? I saw them almost an inch away from each other. What are they doing? I then saw there was no space dividing them and thought they were kissing.

"Hey!" I yelled. Luca backed away as quickly as possible, and I saw the guy kissing him go backwards too. "Alberto I was look-" I cut him off, "Who is this guy? Luca?" I asked him angrily. "He's a friend. His name is Eli! I was showing him around the neighborhood..he's new here." Luca explained while looking at the ground.

I looked at Eli, and he rolled his eyes at me. "Whatever." I spat. "Let's go, Luca." I grabbed him by the wrist, "Ow! Stop!" He pulled away rubbing his wrist. "I said let's go!" I yelled. "I need to say goodbye and take Eli back to his home." Luca nervously said. "Eli, Eli, Eli. I don't care. You showed him around the neighborhood right? He should know his way back."

I looked back at Eli and he said innocently, "I-I.. Luca, he's right.. It's fine. I'll just go home myself.." He looked depressed. Manipulator. "Luca, he knows his way around. Let's go."

"Luca, just go with him!"

"Luca, let's go. Leave Eli behind."

"Luca, go!"

"Luca are you even list-"

"Stop it, both of you! Just.. Leave me alone!" Luca said, trembling. He ran away and I felt guilty now. "See what you did?!" I yelled at Eli. "Look my man, I know you like him. But its a matter of time when he'll hate you and fall for me." He winked at me and walked away. What a jerk.

I walked quickly to catch up to Luca and I felt jealous.

Will he really fall in love with Eli?
