I walked into the house, and we all made our way into the kitchen and Andrea had already started on the dinner. "Hey, what we are having," I asked. "Lasagna. Also, Alessandro wants you in his office," he said not even turning around to acknowledge my existence.
I slowly walked to Alessandro's office. Taking small steps... Preparing myself to what fresh hell this is. I arrived and saw him sitting at his desk on the phone.
Translation: What do you mean you don't know where he is? How can he just disappear? Find him and bring him here.
"Cosa vuol dire che non sai dov'è? Come può semplicemente scomparire? Trovalo e portalo qui."Alessandro looked up and saw me and signalled me to sit opposite his desk.
I wished I learned Italian because I'm so bored and it would be nice to know what he is saying.
Translation: If you can't find him by tomorrow. I want you to find another dealer. Not another high school kid, Idiot.
"Se non riesci a trovarlo entro domani. Voglio che trouvi un altro rivenditore. Non un altro ragazzo delle superiori, Idiota." He hung up the phone and let out a big sigh.
Author: Btw I don't know Italian so it's all translated through google translate.
"Stressful day at work?" I asked. He nodded and started going through the paperwork through his desk.
"Why did you want to see me?"
"I want to keep an eye on you. Every day after school I expect you in my office doing your homework until I can trust you again"
"Okay" I nodded and he went back to his work and I pulled out my homework in my bag. I decided to start on maths.
"Alessandro?"
"Yes?" he huffed.
"I'm stuck on a question. Can I go and get Andrea's help?"
"No" he sighed.
"Please" I brought out the puppy eyes.
"Come here, I'll help. Andrea sucks at Maths"
"How did you know it was maths"
"I've seen your report card from your last school. I know Maths is the only subject you struggle with." I walked over and he helped me. I eventually moved on and started on my other homework.
Soon I finished and I tried to sneak away but Alessandro noticed and gave me a stern look and I huffed and sat back down. I watched the clock for a least an hour. I grabbed the stapler on his desk and started stapling blank pieces of paper together.
"Stop it" he sighed and I put down the stapler and slumped back into my seat.
"I'm bored"
"I'm trying to work"
"What is your work?"
"What?"
"You never told me"
"How's this, you tell me something about you and I'll decide if it's worth telling you about my work"
"Deal, you first"
"Nice try" he smiled.
"I have a tattoo"
"What?! How did you get a tattoo?"
