The Monster's Son

Chapter 1

Liliana POV

*Library closed*

The library was closed once again. It's been a week and the library is still closed. I usually sit here and eat my lunch because if I sat in the cafeteria then I'd get bullied by the popular girls. So I decided to sit next to the library doors hoping and praying that someone will come open them like I have been doing, but yet again no one comes. I started eating my lunch when I heard someone coming down the hallway. I try to look for someplace to hide, but there is nothing. I sat there with my lunch waiting to see who was walking the halls. That's when I see him. Antonio knightly. I mean of course he's gorgeous and he knows that. I start to freak out a little more because the popular people don't usually come down here. I sat there hoping he doesn't see me, but I was wrong he saw me. We made direct eye contact. "What are you doing down here?" Said Antonio my first thought was is he really talking to be a nobody. "Oh I um I usually eat lunch down here." I said answering his question. "Why not sit in the cafeteria with everyone else?" He said. "Well you see I don't really get along with some people in the cafeteria so I decided that it's just best to separate myself from them" I replied. It then got silent and at that moment I had to tell myself to breathe. "Well can I sit with you." He said. "Wait you want to sit with me." "Yeah why not" he replied. I didn't expect him to want to sit next to me I mean I'm the nerd and he's the mafia bosses son. Which is really scary. He then sits next to me and just stares and says "your really pretty did you know that." "Oh me haha no I'm not." "I do have a question for you though." "What your question bellissima." He replies. "Well why are you down here with me instead of being up there with your friends and girlfriend." I say shyly. He then laughs and replies "well my friends decided to skip today and neonata I don't have a girlfriend." I immediately smile when he said he didn't have a girlfriend. Now yes I know that someone like him would never be with someone like me. " Oh well I just assumed that you'd have a girlfriend." He looked away for second before replying. " Why because I'm devilishly handsome." I laugh and look at him " and extremely cocky." We both start laughing. " Don't act like you don't like it bellissima." I stare at him in awe because I know he's speaking on Italian but I have no idea what he's saying. "Take a picture it will last longer." I cannot believe he just said that. I roll my eyes and look away. "What are those two words you said in Italian?" He looks at me surprised that I know it was Italian. " Well Bellissima means beautiful and neonata mean baby girl." I've never been called any of those names by anyone. I immediately started to think that this is some type of joke and he's only talking to me for a bet. " Are you only talking to me because you and your friends made a bet." He looked at me surprised. " Look at me, that just my friends I am nothing like them ok." "How am I supposed believe that. This type of stuff happens to me all the time."
"I would never do that ok I promise." He said and maybe he was telling the truth. Maybe I'm overthinking this. " Your right I'm sorry when people talk to me I always think the worst." Then that's when the bell rung for us to go to class. "what class do you have." " I have English with Mr. Townsend." He looks at me with a smile. " My class is right next to yours I'll walk you." I smile and let him walk me to class. Once we get to my class he does something I never thought he would do. " Can I have a hug?" He asks me. I look at him surprised but I give him a hug. We then go out separate ways.
