~Victor~

I picked Hazel up for school today and I am going to her house later to keep her company while she is doing a project with this guy in her Italian class.

_______________________
School flew by and at lunch, I got the notes from Hazel from yesterday. She is the best thing that has happened to me this year and... ever. Lunch is the best time of the day because I get to spend 30 minutes with Hazel.

I just now realized that I spaced out in my last hour class, math when Mrs. Price calls my name.
"Victor, do you know the answer?"
"No, ma'am I don't."
"Then you should start paying attention, you're already going to fail."
"What?"
"You heard me, Mr. Martinez."
"Yes ma'am, I'm sorry I'll listen."

I couldn't listen if I can't bring my grade up. I won't only fail but I will be kicked off the hockey team.

At the end of class, I stayed behind.
"Is there any way I can bring my grade up?"
"Yes there is. We have a test in 3 weeks that will bring your F up to a B so you can get someone to tutor you and if you get a good grade then you won't be failing. Also, I can ask my top student Hazel to tutor you if you'd like?"
"I can ask her myself. I have to go but thank you for letting me know."

I slowly walked up to my car and Hazel was leaning on the passenger door scrolling through her phone.
"Hey."
"Hi!"

I opened the passenger door for her and then got in the car and started the engine.
"Hey, I have a question. Do you think you can tutor me in math? According to Mrs. Price, I am failing badly."
"Yeah, sure just not today because of the project."
"Thank you, you are amazing, love, you know that right?"
"Of course, I know that," she said smiling and I returned the smile.

God, I love her smile. I started driving and put my hand on her thigh. She seems to like when I do that so I've been doing it a lot. She always plays with my rings and I love it. She grabs the aux cord and puts some music on turning it all the way up.

When we made it to Hazel's house we went up to her room and sat down on her bed waiting for Zach. There was a knock at the door and Hazel sprung up to get the door. I walked after her and when she opened the door there Zach was smiling at her.

"Ciao, Tesoro."(Hello, sweetheart)
"Te l'avevo detto di smetterla di chiamarmi così, stronzo." (I told you to stop calling me that, asshole.)
"I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that because I have no idea what you said," I said.

Zach walked in and Hazel led him to her room.

"Do you know where we are going to do the project on?" Zach asked and I noticed he had an Italian accent clear in his voice. Hazel never told me he was Italian.
"No I was hoping you had an idea because you are from Italy after all." she shrugged.
"We could do it on my hometown, Vernazza. It's a really beautiful place, it's surrounded by water and there are no cars. Whatever, it's really amazing."
"It sounds amazing," Hazel said. She was probably trying to have an image in her head for it, knowing her.

I was just playing on my phone for the hour and thirty minutes that Zach and Hazel were working.

"So... let's finish it on Tuesday?"
"That'll be fine and I'll make sure to text you to tell you if anything changes."
"Okay, Tesoro."
"Stonzo. See you at school."

I don't know why but Zach gave me an unsettling feeling. I don't like him. He seems like a douche. And I hate that he can talk to Hazel and I don't know what he's saying.

Zach walked out and it was about dinner time but I asked my dad if I could stay at her house because my dad's business partners were coming over and I don't like them.

"Hey, Hazel, can I stay the night here?"
"Ya, mom and dad should be fine with it."

"Dinner!" Hazel's mom yelled and we all went down to get food.
------------------------------
"Victor is gonna stay the night tonight if that is fine with y'all."
"Of course it's fine."
"Thanks."

At dinner, we all just talked and Aiden was a little more silent than usual and he was staring at me and Hazel. To be honest I was a little scared.

After dinner, Hazel and I headed to her room. Aiden walked by the room but then came back and said, "Vic since tonight is a school night and you didn't bring any clothes to change into you can wear some of mine. Let me go get some real quick though."

When he came back he had a stack of clothes.
"Thanks, Aiden. I will make sure to give them back."
We watched Tangled for like the millionth time. Hazel fell asleep halfway through it like usual and when she fell asleep I turned off her laptop and put it on her nightstand. I looked down and her arms were wrapped around me and her head was resting on my chest.

After a couple of minutes, I went to sleep as well.
--------------------------

Hazel's alarm went off and she started tossing and turning.

"Wake up, love."
"Ughhh I don't want to."
"I'm going to go change real quick. You better be up when I get out so we aren't late for school."
"Ok, Vic."

The clothes that Aiden gave me were a pair of black ripped jeans and a light brown sweatshirt that said Nike on the front. I am so thankful that Aiden lent me these clothes. I found an extra toothbrush and brushed my teeth and walked out of the bathroom.

Hazel had some clothes in her hand and walked into the bathroom and came back out five minutes later with some denim ripped jeans and a brown cropped tank top with a black jean jacket. Her hair was clipped up with a few pieces out around her face to frame it. She looked gorgeous.

"What time is it?"
"6:30."
"When do you want to start leaving then?"
"7:00 probably."
"How about leave now and go get waffles from the cafe that is close to school?"
"That sounds amazing. I will pay."
"Ughhhhhh I guess.

We went to the cafe and got waffles. After we went straight to school. The first 4 periods went by fast and it was finally lunch. I got to see Hazel in 2nd hour but that felt like so long ago.

Hazel walked into the cafeteria and came to sit with me and some of my friends. My closest friend is Jay. He has dirty blonde hair, and blue eyes and was 5'11. He sat with us and there were a couple of other people but I don't really talk to them that much.

School went by quickly and after school, I dropped Hazel off at home and then I headed home. When I got home dad wasn't there and there was a note on the counter saying that there was food in the fridge.

I heated up the food, went to my room, and ate it there. I watched a movie and fell asleep halfway through it and I couldn't stop thinking about how pretty Hazel looked today.
