"Oh hey, guys! What are you all doing out here," Laurent came bounding over like a little puppy. Normally, Caspian would smile at how cute he looked but there was still this mystery man standing here and he was scared for Laurent.
"Clearly smoking, dumbass," George gruffed.
"Yeah I can see perfectly--" Laurent stopped talking when he saw the man standing close to Alex, who was trying to motion to Laurent to leave. "You're not supposed to be here! What are you doing here?"
"Looking for that dipshit, Lorenzo Marinelli," the man growled, growing very impatient.
"He's out on a trip. Come back next year," Giovanni remarked, coming up behind Laurent. Gio squeezed his friend's shoulder in support. Caspian looked at them in confusion.
"Uhm Enzo is in school. Why are they lying to this man? And who the hell is this man?" Caspian thought to himself and based on the fact that his friends were looking at Giovanni and Laurent in confusion, he wasn't the only one thinking about it.
"Liars, he's here," the man screamed.
"D'Angelo doesn't lie, Mr. Whoever-You-Are," Nick growled, getting into the stranger's face. Everyone looked at Nick in shock. The stranger went to argue but Caspian's mom came outside at that moment. She saw the stranger standing uncomfortably close to Nick and stormed over.
"Sir, I must demand that you leave the premises immediately. Only students and staff are allowed on the premises at this time." Mrs. Carter stood with her hands on her hips and a glare pointed straight at him.
"Tell Lorenzo, I'll see him around," was the last thing the stranger said before leaving the way he came. After he was out of sight, Alex turned to a still shocked Giovanni.
"Alright, D'Angelo, who the hell was that?"
"We are not at liberty to say. Only Enzo can tell you that information," Laurent answered instead of Giovanni. Nick smirked at the Italian and snapped his fingers, essentially bringing him back to planet Earth.
"You good, D'Angelo," Nick asked, chuckling.
"Huh, uh-huh y-yeah I'm g-good. Uhh, I'm just going to go back to Enzo and the others. Bye!" Giovanni ran faster than he had ever run before back to where his friends were. Laurent raised an eyebrow as he followed the movement of Gio.
"Sir, I think you have broken my friend," Laurent laughed with surprise.
"Yeah, I think I did. Just tell him not to let it get to his head," Nick laughed along with Laurent.
"Ha! That is going to be the first thing I tell him."
"Hey, Andrieux, tell Enzo he owes for this," Alex interrupted their conversation.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Whatever you say, Alexander Schmidt," Laurent waved his hand around before bowing and running away back to his friends.
"You two have gone soft," George muttered once Laurent was out of earshot.
"It's not going soft. It's simply concerning as to why some stranger wants Enzo. There is something wrong with that," Alex simply said, going back to smoking. There other 4 shrugged and enjoyed the breeze. Mrs. Carter rolled her eyes at the boys and left them alone. No one caught that Alex had called Enzo by his first name, except for a gossipy Mrs. Carter
************Laurent had finally made it back to his own friends. He saw Giovanni standing protectively close to Enzo.
"Remy, where did you go," Jasper asked, hugging his friend like he was gone for years instead of 15 minutes. Laurent chuckled and hugged him back.
"I went to see what Caspian was up to. Gio, you haven't told them, right?"
"Ooooooo Remy has a crush on a Spaniard," Enzo teased. Jasper, Gio, and Celestino laughed at the blushing Laurent.
"It's not a crush! It's just a hopeful wish for friendship. Not all of us hate the guts of every single one of those guys," Laurent rolled his eyes and walked past Enzo. He looked at Gio from the corner of his eye.
"Hey, Enzo, we actually have to tell you something," Giovanni rubbed the back of his neck, nervously.
"What's up?"
"Some guy was here and he was just asking the other guys where to find you."
"Alex and the others wouldn't tell where you were and Mrs. Carter got him to leave the school premises."
"He's here? As in, here in Palm Beach?"
"Yep, he's here. Alex looked about 5 seconds from pummeling the guy when I got there," Giovanni recalled.
"Then, Nick came to Gio's rescue," Laurent teased Gio and nudged him.
"Oh fuck off!"
"Nick Struff defended you? Is hell freezing over?" Celestino joked. Enzo was looking over at the hill.
"Hell froze over the second that that asshole came here," Enzo growled.
"Come on, let's go inside. The free period is almost over and I don't want to be late for English. We're starting on research work and I'm dying to get started on it," Jasper jumped onto Enzo's back.
"Ugh, I have Humanities with the devil himself," Celestino groaned and jumped off the brick wall he had been sitting on.
"Nah kid! Alex and Nick are the devils," Giovanni corrected him.
"All three of them are devils. Now let's go," Enzo pushed his friends forward.
"Alright, alright, don't get your panties in a twist, Enzo," Giovanni pushed his friend back.
