Italian-American Mafia: Origin Story

36.

Persephone Pov

'Hello class hope you had a wonderful break and are ready to get back into things. Since it is the first day of December we are getting down to the nitty gritty of this school year. You guys are required to have 1/2 if not most of your project done since this is a year long project.' The teacher explained.

'With that being said I will let you all pick out what days you all want to present and time slots as well. After you have presented you do not have to come back to class. I will see you all in the new year, with that being said you are free to do whatever you want'. The teacher concluded his rant.

I look towards Hades and we both stood up at the same time and made our way to the front. The dates are kind of ass not going to lie.

Present Dates:

12/3
12/5
12/8
12/9
12/10

12/11
12/13
12/15
12/16
12/18

'What do you think' Hades asked me.

If we go early then we can get out of here and focus on our mafia, but if we present late we have more time to finish our project since we rarely are even working on it.

Decisions decision decisions

'Umm why don't we go for a date that in the middle so we can have time to finish our last minute touches, while working on other things' I said.

He signed us up for the 8th which is in 7 days. We went back to our seat and just worked on our project until the bell ranged.

I was researching more about the lawyer business on what you should know and how to make sure your clients are proven not guilty.

I looked over to Hades to see him planning something but can't figure out what it is. The bell had finally rang and we gathered up our things and left the classroom.

Me and Hades were talking about everything and nothing until we meet up with Darrius for lunch. We got into the line and started talking more about our illegal business.

It's crazy how in a short amount of time I managed to have such great people in my life. We got our lunch and sat at a table near the back of the cafeteria.

'So I have a question for you all' Darrius asked and me and Hades gestured for him to go on.

'So I was thinking we are getting older, Hades and I are already 18 and Pers your turning 18 in the summer time, and we're about to graduate. How do you feel about spending summer together before we go off to college' he explained.

'That's cool, but what do you mean go off to college, Pers and I talked about going to the same college together' Hades said in a worry tone.

Shit. Shit. Shit. How do I tell my OWN boyfriend I want to go to a different school.

'Well yeah I want to go to Russia since I'm from there to learn about my culture and Pers wants to go to Ne- owww'

I kicked Darrius and told him to shut the fuck up with my eyes, and he just rolled his eyes.

Me and hades did talk about college and we said that we would go together but he wants to go to Italy. Don't get me wrong Italy is beautiful but I really want to study in New York.

'Pers what is he saying' Hades questioned.

'Thank you Darrius for that' I said in my fake voice to which he smiled and said my pleasure too.

Well it's now or never

'Hades listen I know we said that we would go to college together but I've been looking into other colleges' I said cautiously.

He gestured for me to continue.

'I was looking at different colleges and there is this college in New York that is really good for what I want to do and I decided I wanted to go to it. I already scheduled a tour and you guys can come if you want' I said nervously.

I looked at my fingers and started playing with them as a nervous habit. I mustered up the courage and looked up to Hades and he had no expression on his face.

I don't know if it's a good one bad one, I don't know I just feel like I let him down. You know we were supposed to do everything together and I just dropped this bomb on h-

'Ok' he said interrupting my rant to myself.

'Your not mad' I asked and he shook his head. I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders.

'No at some point in time I knew that you were going to want to go to a different college since going to college in Italy isn't your "ideal" college' he said.

I chuckled at him and hugged him tightly.

'You guys make me so fucking sick its ridiculous' Darrius said.

I let go of Hades and rested my head on his shoulder.

'Well maybe if you weren't such a fuck boy you would actually be in a relationship' I said with a fake smile.

'And have the ladies miss out on me, no thank you' he retorted back.

I rolled my eyes and we all kept talking about the different colleges we want to go to. Along with some bickering between me and Darrius.

The bell had rung and we all went our separate ways. I made it to my last class of the day and a smile made its way onto my face.

I've missed just being a kid and worrying about stupid things, it feels good to be so relax.

I wish I would have taken advantage of that feeling because now it was too late!
