"Dance with me!" I speak as I drag him off the couch by his arms. His sleepy figure follows along with me as I move to the side of my living room.
"No let me sleep!" He cries out as he tries to fall back down on the couch. I pinch his arm and drag h...
Chasin' You by Morgan Wallen comes through my speaker as I shower. I lather the soap on the towel then continue on with washing then washing my hair.
When an hour or something goes by I get out with the towel wrapped tightly around my waist.
I walk out the hot and steaming bathroom to come across straight coldness. Goosebumps immediately rise on my skin as I walk to my closet.
I pick out my dark green Nike crewneck with faded dark blue loose jeans. I grab my white socks out the bin then go into my room.
I lotion then put the outfit on. I go back into my bathroom to spray my hair with water and add the curling cream into it.
I scrunch up my hair then wash my hands.
I leave out the bathroom, put my chain on then leave out my room with my pine green 4s in hand.
When going down the hall and to the stairs, I pass by Sydney's room to see her up and dressed, playing with her dolls.
I stand at the doorframe, watching her as she brushes the dolls hair.
"Come on sorella so we can get you to school." I gain her attention. She squeals and stand, putting her dolls away. {Sister}
She grabs my hand, pulling me down the stairs. I laugh as her little feet carry her down the stairs and into the kitchen.
My mom and dad are laughing together as they sit at the table, pancakes and eggs on their plate.
We join them and get to eating while talking about things and my dad's business.
My dad has his own tech company that he built from the ground and up. He started at the age of twenty five and now he's almost forty five years old.
And the business is still going strong.
When he retires I'll take over it and be the new owner.
I check my phone and see it's almost seven ten. I have to get Syd to school before seven twenty. I stand and go to gather our bags and set them by the door.
I sit on the bench that's beside the door and put my shoes on before making my way to her.
"Okay andiamo." I speak as I watch Syd jump down from the seat and go to put her shoes on. {Okay let's go}
I kiss my mom on the cheek then give my dad a side hug before going to where Syd is.
We both leave out the house after she gets her coat on and I open the door for her.
She gets in and puts her seatbelt on before I shut the door and make my way over to the drivers side.
"Alright to school we go." I say blandly before putting the car in reverse and backing out the driveway.
•••
I pull into the school and sit there. I don't want to go in here but I also don't have a choice.
So with that being said, I get out the car and lock the doors behind me. When I almost get to the school doors, a familiar voice calls my name.
Or more so a nickname.
"Enzo!" I turn and see Gabrielle walking towards me with her school bag on her shoulders.
She's dressed in a beige essentials short sleeve shirt with black leggings and Yeezy slides. She had a gold bracelet on her wrist along with an Apple Watch.
And instead of her curly hair she now has a braided ponytail with her edges done.
"Hi." I speak as she's now standing beside me. Her perfume wafts up my nose making me shiver.
She wraps her arms around my waist and hugs me. I look around before wrapping my arms around her shoulders awkwardly.
Her hair smells good.
"You smell really good." She mumbles in my chest as her face is pressed into it.
I chuckle and pull away at the same time as she does. I open the doors and wait for her to walk in first before following her inside.
"What's you first period?" She questions as we stop at her locker.
"English. The same class as you, remember?" I answer and she laughs.
"Right. I forgot." And with that we leave her locker and head to mine which is down the hall.
"Your locker is plain as crap." Is the first thing she says as I punch the code in and open it.
"Is it supposed to be decorated or something?" I furrow my brows as I get my English book out. She sighs before patting my back.
"Never mind Enzo." She grabs my arm after sighing and drags me to class.
When inside were the first two besides the teacher, who is writing todays assignment on the board.
When we enter, her attention goes to us as she waves. "Ah Gabrielle, just the girl I needed to see."
Gabby frowns before looking back at me. I shrug and whisper that I'm going to go sit down and let her talk to the teacher.
So that's what I do, I sit and get my notebook out before going onto my phone.
Gabrielle Morgan
"What's wrong Ms. Johnson?" I question with crossed arms and a smile on my face.
She moves her curly hair out of her face before talking. "Well I have this student, who is failing my class. And since you've had an A plus average all year, I was wondering if you'd help tutor him?"
Do I want to do it? Nah.
"If you do say yes though, I will give you extra credit in this class regarding helping out a student."
But am I going to do it? Hell yeah.
"You know what sure. I'd be happy to help."
She claps before hugging me. "Thank you so much. I don't want to see anyone fail my class or any class for that matter." I nod.
"Okay I'll let Cameron know that you'll tutor him. Would it be okay if you guys met in the library after school?" It better not be González.
"What Cameron are we talking about here?" I ask just to be on the safe side.
"Cameron Gonzàlez. Why?" She ask, sounding slightly confused.
I huff and nevertheless smile and shake my head. "Nothing I was just wondering."
She nods and gestures me to get to my seat now as students are starting to pour in. So with that being said I go to my seat and sigh.
I catch the eye of Enzo as I do so and wave him off.
I'll be fine.
I hope anyway.
