My Art (Elio Perlman)

Yours?

I open the door to my room and run over to my bed, falling face first on it.

"Mia!" A voice exclaims from the corner of my room.

I jump up with a scream. "Marzia what the hell!" I exclaim.

"Sorry, but where have you been? I thought you were just going to a party thing at Elio's." She asks, walking over and laying on my bed.

I join her with a sigh. "I was. And I did. I stayed the night."

She gasps. "You had sex!"

I put my hand on her mouth. "Shut up!"

She grabs my arm and pulls it down. "Oh my god. Give me the details!"

"Ew gross. No."

"At least tell me if it was good. " She insists.

I laugh a little and cover my face to hide my blush. "Yes. It was very good."

She squeals. "So is it a one time thing?"

I nod. "Yeah. Definitely."

She rolls her eyes. "No it's not. I can see it in your eyes!"

"Wha- I- He was a one night thing!" I exclaim.

"Yeah more like a get down on one knee, wear a huge ass ring, and make little tiny Elio-Mia babies thing." She roles her eyes one again.

I smack my forehead.

She groans and gets to her feet. "I'm gonna go see him."

"Wait Marzia no!" I reach out, trying to stop her.

"I'll let you know what he says!" She yells right before the door to my room shuts.

"Mia! Get out of your room! You've been in here all day!" My mom yells.

I just groan into my pillow.

"Go out with friends! Paint! Do something!"

After she leaves the room, I roll out of bed and shuffle over to my window staring outside. It was a beautiful day that I completely wasted.

All because of some boy.

"Mia! There's someone on the phone for you!" My dad yells from downstairs.

I groan and slowly make my way to the phone. I take it from my dads and lazily put it to my ear. "Hello?"

"Hey." Elios voice rings in my ears.

I automatically straighten up. "Elio.. why are you calling?" I ask.

"I uh... I wanted to hear your voice." He whispers.

For a long moment, the only thing you could hear is the sound of breathing.

"Why'd you leave so suddenly?" He questions.

"I didn't want it to be awkward." I shrug, even though he can't see me.

He laughs a little. "And that stupid note?"

"You did the complete opposite of what I told you to."

"Well, technically I didn't come looking for you so.... I didn't. And what do you mean your not good?" He asks.

"Goodbye Elio." I hang up the phone and sigh, leaning against the wall, collecting myself before I move.

Later on in the day, Luca stops by.

I open the door. "Hey Luca!" I grin, happy to see his familiar face.
