Sofia's POV
Reference: S1E7
____________________
"She looks at me she goes... 'he didn't look like his pictures'" Rue explained to Lexi and I while we stood against the walls of the school bathroom. Monday mornings are typically slow and boring, but today I got to listen to Rue's FBI agent theory about how Nate Jacobs was "Tyler" from the carnival. She was also chain smoking cigarettes like a business man from some old film.
Jules being catfished online was 1 thing, but this whole theory was another thing. Honestly... she might have a point. But why would Nate pretend to be someone else and target Jules? It doesn't make sense, right?
Neither do the dicks in his phone.
All I know is that even though the conversation was interesting, I had my own situation to worry about. Maddy's boyfriend can come later. My business was much more important to me, and the 2 shots I took before school was already kicking in.
Devin and I arrived back in town late at night yesterday, so I didn't have much time to talk with Maddy or my mom. My mom asked me how the trip went, and I told her it was great. I wasn't exactly lying. Just leaving out the reasons I enjoyed it so much.
I told Maddy that we could talk about what happened during my trip today once I got home since I was too exhausted last night. She updated me on the whole crime investigation thing this morning. Jules was, in fact, defending Nate. Now it was all starting to make sense hearing Rue talk about it.
I continued to my classes and tried to think about how I would explain everything to Maddy later on.

"He beat him over the head with the weight?" Maddy asks, sipping on her juice box. "Yeah, and I got a text from a random number today at lunch. A picture of Ashtray holding up some money outside of a pawn shop" I chuckled, knowing that it was Ashtray's number.
"No way, he stole your necklace and fucking pawned it?" he covered her mouth. I could tell she lowkey wanted to laugh. "Well, he didn't steal it. He found it on the ground after Fez... ya know" I trailed off, causing her to shake her head and laugh. "After he what, ripped it off of you while passionately taking your soul less than 10 feet away from Devin?" she smirked. "Oh my god shut up" I grinned. I am such a whore.
"You are so scandalous" she tells me. "I am not scandalous" I smile, hitting her lightly in the arm. "Bitch, yes you are. You literally have 2 boyfriends" she tells me, before suddenly pausing. "Who has 2 boyfriends?" I hear our mom call from the other side of the door before pushing it open. "I-uh... this girl at our school." I quickly lie.
"Mm... okay, well dinner is ready" she informs us before leaving the room. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in and Maddy just laughs quietly. "Scandalous as fuck" she teases, walking past me.

"I really wanna see you tomorrow" I tell Fez over the phone. "I'll take you to go get ice-cream" he tells me, making me smile down. "You fuck with mint choco-" "man, don't even ask me that dumb ass question " he cuts me off, making me laugh. "what is wrong with the flavor?" I ask him.
"look all I'm sayin if I wanted to taste some shit like that I'd take a tube of toothpaste and stick it between an oreo that shits nasty as fuck" he went off calmly, organizing the front counter at his job. "Well I disagree" I tell him. "Disagree all you want shawty, still disgusting at the end of the day. I'll stick with butter pecan" he tells me.
I stare at him while he does his thing on the FaceTime camera. My laugh slowly wears off and turns into a small smile. "You were all I could think about after that night in San Francisco. You really came to see me" I mentioned, biting my lip. "Of course I did, I wasn't about to let someone claim you" he said, looking at me with his big blue eyes.
"I wouldn't let anyone claim me. I only want you" I remind him. "I heard you said yall back in a relationship though" he said. "Yeah, not married. Its way different" I explain. "Hold up... so you sayin if we was in a relationship-" "Don't do that Fez. It would be different and you know that" I cut him off immediately.
"Actually..... nah, I don't know that." he says, finishing cleaning up his surroundings as a brief pause fills our conversation.
"I don't really know where this conversation is going but... I don't like sharing" he says bluntly, looking at me through the camera. I stay silent. "Another thing though, I think you should go back to ignoring him for a while. He had enough time with you on that vacation, yeah?" he says rather assertively.
"y-yeah..." I stutter, waiting for him to continue. "Good, cause now it's my turn" he says, licking his lips and picking up his phone as a customer walks inside. I heard the bell jingle through the phone. "You should get back to work" I remind him. "Yeah, imma catch you later... Sofia" he says my name, catching my attention.
"Yeah?" I ask, waiting for his next sentence. "Don't text his goofy ass back. Imma call you when I'm off." he said, hanging up the phone. For some reason that made me smile. Devin hasn't texted me since we've been back home anyway, probably busy catching up with his other bitches.
Usually, I would be attacking Devin with accusations and trying to figure out what he was doing. But now I could care less. I have who I really want wrapped around my finger.
Instead of being sad and paranoid, I was giggling in bed, listening to music and waiting patiently for the person I truly want to get off work so he would call me back.
Fezco makes me so happy.
I think I'm in love with him.
