cruel summer | PEDRI GONZALEZ

[25] other than mari

❈

MARISOL's POV

"i didn't know he had girl friends other than mari."

"huh?!" i heard my name and that's all that matters. "nothing!" i don't know what's so funny to thiago and the guys, but i want in on the joke. "do you even know why we're here, mari?"

well, i invited them for a sleepover because my brother's insisted. "pedri blew us off."

we had this sleepover scheduled for tomorrow but they had plans with pedri tonight... or so i thought up until now which makes sense as to why they came over now instead of tomorrow.

but now thinking about it, "he also didn't answer my text from yesterday to hang out." i say.

"why was he the first person you asked in the first place?!"

"you guys really think you're my first choice?"

i'm joking and we all know that. at least i hope we do. ciro laughs in their faces and i join all of them on the bed. "i wanna watch finding nemo!"

"finding dory's better." i don't know why balde was fighting with mateo on a kid's movie but he was dead serious. "pero quiero ver nemo! (but i wanna see nemo!)"

"y yo quiero ver- (and i wanna see-)"

"leave my little brother alone. we're watching nemo." sometimes i wonder why my brother's act the way they do, then i remember i feed into it. "i saw that!" i say, mentioning mateo sticking his tongue out at balde before i take the remote and look for the movie.

"what'd pedri blow you guys off for anyways?" and i still don't know what they said. "sira posted on her story." meaning he's also with ferran? that doesn't seem so bad. "but he's in the background with a girl." ansu adds.

"what the-"

"wanna see?" well, since they mentioned it.

but before someone yells at me to hurry up, i click finding nemo and the boys all get on the edge on the bed and lay on their stomachs watching. meanwhile i'm making my way to the bed frame when gavi passes his phone. "and this is?" i ask, primarily for the girl dancing right up on him. "could be one of sira's friends. we've never seen her."

"so he ditched you guys for a girl he just met."

saying that when i'm talking about pedri does not seem real. "that's we we're saying!"

"SHHH!" the boys shush us because we're apparently ruining the movie for them. "y'know what'd be crazy?"

this is never good. "if we went over there to party with them."

"over my dead body." i'm not a party crasher. even if it's a club! "oh come on!" i don't wanna hear it from balde who's never afraid to go clubbing. "you forget i have to watch them!" my parents are also gone for the night and it's my responsibility to watch the kids.

"right... forgot about that." but i know the idea hasn't left balde's mind. "how about we go on a mission and report back to you?"

"just say you wanna go for fun."

"no i'm serious! i'm also curious as to who it is."
