That Boy Next Door - Leonetta Story

seventeen

Vilu

I can't help but thinking about Leon and the conversation we just had on our way to the studio. I think I had it too. That 'Love at first sight'- feeling. I had it too. Why did I had to say that I didn't feel that way? Why?! I am so stupid. I have to tell him. 

Leon walks to the boys as I watch him go and catch up with his new friends. As I wonder if he will even tell them what happened this morning. I so hope he doesn't. 

Like 5 minutes later... 

'What's so funny, Cami?' Vilu looks at Fran and then back at Cami who didn't stop laughing. 'Yeah I would like to know too. What's so funny?' Cami stops as she looks up and sees that Violetta and Francesca look pretty serious. But also have to laugh because of their crazy friend Camilla.

'You, looking at Leon. Ok, you can better say: staring at Leon.' Fran immediately looked at Vilu with shocked eyes. 'What?! Did I?' Cami nodded with closed eyes. 'Yes, you did.'

'Oh no! What will he think of me now? And last night...ohh, what a mess!'

Now Camilla en Francesca are looking shocked to each other. And said at the same time, 'Last night?!'

'Girls, I need to tell you something.'

Violetta began to tell the girls what happened the other night.

'...So when I finished my conversation with Diego, I got into my room and closed the door. I turned around. Guess who was sleeping in that chair? Leon! He came to me because he couldn't sleep. And when he is in MY room, sitting in MY chair, as I speak to my brother, he can fall asleep. But when he's just in his OWN bed, in his OWN room, what is practically next to mine, he can't!' She explains to the girls.

'And the worst thing is, that I even liked, no, loved it. I felt safe the whole entire night. Just because he was there, sitting in that chair.' I tell them, before everyone else comes in for a class. Including Leon. 

Then Pablo starts to talk about an assignment we have to get ready for next week lessons. 

'Leon, you just have met each other. Just give her some space. and just spend time with each other before you start a relationship. Get to know her.' Federico tells him when they step in the zoom too. 

After a while Leon walked away, and I tried to catch him. We almost bumbed in to each other.

'Leon, I'm sorry.' I quietly told him once we stood in front of each other. 'It's okay. I have to say sorry, actually. I just...' 'You know, why don't we go talk somewhere private?' He had a thoughtful-face. 'Like the park? We can meet there, in an hour?' I agreed saying 'Yes, we can meet there. Bye.'

Ludmila, "the supernova" of the studio came to me. 'You have a date with that weirdo? You should know better Violetta.' And walks away. I had no courage to talk to the others anymore so I decided to go to the park already.
