Cynthia Romani. she has walls built up so people don't get close. All that comes crashing when the extrovert boy with a hidden persona crumbles those walls down.

Why am I hugging her?
I never felt the urge to comfort a girl like I did at this moment. Something about Cynthia brings out many different emotions. Right now I feel the need to be there for her even though I want to hate her, I can't.
"I hate you," she says as I play with a strand of her hair. "Oh, you secretly love me, darling." She pushes me and scoots away from me, I curse myself for wanting to pull her back in my arms. she breathes in and looks at me. She's shy all of a sudden, I want to know everything about her. Pull out every emotion other than anger and sadness, I hate those on her.
"thanks for umm... keeping me company. But this does not make us friends! so don't get any ideas in your head and don't mention that I was crying on your shoulder."
Too late, first thing I'm doing is telling Dimitri.
" whatever you say darling." she stands up and I watch as she looks at me with an annoyed expression. "stop calling me that." I tilt my head and cross my arms against my chest.
"how about red then?" she frowns and gives me a questioning look. "well you always have something on that's red. it's your favorite color isn't it?" her lips part in shock.
"Okay that's creepy I never told you red was my favorite color. Are you stalking me?" she teases me and I scoff. I stand up so she has to look up at me, I grab her soft hands and show them to her, "Your nails are painted red, and you have a red bow on your hair. The notebooks you use for English are also red. need I say more? I'm a great observer darling" her eyes are wide and then she graces me with a small smile.
"I guess you are..." she says and I hum in response focused on her facial expressions. I clear my throat and take a step back. she blinks out of whatever staring we were doing and looks down at her phone checking the time.
"Anyways nice chat but I have to find my brother, I miss him terribly." I say breaking the silence that overcame us and we both walk out of the garden. "Cynthia you slut!" I stop in my tracks and look at Jackie take a picture of us. "Omg, our fun Cynthia is coming back finally you were getting boring." I don't miss the backhanded compliment and I have the urge to push her into the fountain of the garden.
"We didn't do anything, Jackie," I spoke up and looked down at Cynthia who was glaring at the ground, is she upset about their comments?
"We have a group project to discuss. That's all we were doing Jackie I swear." Cynthia said and walked away.
I watch them all walk away. The major differences in the girls, two are try hards and one is naturally beautiful. And I wont deny it, Cynthia is very very gorgeous. I don't know what Sydney was talking about, Cynthia looks pretty in her skirts. I walk back inside the school and look for Dimitri.
It didn't take me long to spot him with his friends, I slowed down and looked for a table to sit at not wanting to disturb him. I find one sit on it and start texting Nikolai. "I hate this school," Dimitri speaks up making me jump. he sits down on the table and shares the fruit cup he had.
"I thought you liked it, you have friends." He rolls his eyes, "No I have you which is why I tolerate this school. You make it fun." I look up from my phone and look at Dimitri. he's dead serious and I'm questioning if maybe I've been creating this distance between us.
"love you too dimi." He smiles a little mumbling me too under his breath, I heard it though. Maybe I should try to let go of my resentment, after all, he's my other half.
"Want to ditch? Nikolai still hasn't gone to school. Something about an allergic reaction. Idiot." He nods and we both get up and exit the cafeteria.
We're both walking out to the parking lot but someone stumbles into me. I gather my balance and look at Cynthia who's running out of the school. Me and Dimitri look at each other and look back at her. shes clearly distressed and I hate it.
"She was fine this morning what happened!" She screams with so much sadness at her driver who's opening the door for her. Her tear-stained face makes me want to pick her up into my arms again and wipe every tear that falls away.
"I forgot to tell you, Dad said her mother has cancer, she only has months left." I look at Dimitri and back at the car that just pulled off the school grounds. No wonder she's always crying. Now I feel like a jerk for being mean to her.
"Come on let's go," Dimitri says as he starts walking to his car. I go into mine and drive to Nikolai's.
I'm in Nikolai's room laughing my ass out. "How do you accept a muffin that has blueberries when you know you're allergic to them? This is the second time Nik" He groans and faces the wall giving me his back.
Even Dimitri is laughing. Whipped-ass mother fucker. "Enough about me before I kick you out of my house. How's school for you guys." Dimitri looks at me and smiles that mischievous smile he does when he wants to instigate.
"Aleksandr is crushing hard, hopelessly in love with a certain girl who can't stand the sight of him." I gasp and stand up I won't have false accusations thrown around. Nikolai smiles tilting his head and looking at me.
"First of all you fail to remember I also can't stand the sight of her, besides I don't date and I definitely don't have a crush on her." I scoff and sit back down on Nikolai's bed. Dimitri hums and I glare at him in annoyance.
"He's right Niko besides she has a boyfriend."
why do I feel like throwing up and demand Dimitri to find this said boyfriend of hers?
after she was crying in my arms?
"Boyfriend? Who would date her?" I scoff and turn to Nikolai who's looking at me with amusement. I laugh and can't help but take a picture of his still-swollen face. Fucking idiot.
"Delete that shit." I show Dimitri the picture and he bursts out laughing making me laugh even more.
"Get out of my house," Nikolai says and I blow a kiss at him making him scowl or I think that's what he tried doing. Me and Dimitri spent another hour with Nikolai laughing at his misery before we left. Once we got home we were greeted by Dad.
"My two boys, Elsa baked your favorite brownies, Dimitri. How was school?" Shit he knows we left, Dimitri took this opportunity to go eat his stupid brownies.
"School? oh yeah very educational. I learned a lot." My dad hums in thought as he exhales his cigarette smoke.
"Those are cancer sticks Dad. You'll die a lot sooner, and then for sure I'll be an orphan." My dad smiles and puts the cigarette out.
"You'll survive without me. Come on I have to talk to you boys. I have a job to do and I need your help." Yes, I love doing jobs with Dad. I get to go on cool missions and take my anger out physically. I love fighting.
"Thank you, Elsa, this is why I love you." I hear dimitri say as me and dad walk into the kitchen, . Elsa our cook only has a soft spot for Dimitri ever since we were kids. She cooks and bakes whatever he asks for.
"Dimitri, in my office we have a job to do. And we need your intelligence." I roll my eyes at Dimitri's smirk.
"Yes, Dad way to boost his ego up even more." Dad shakes his head with a small smile and walks out. I try to steal a brownie but Dimitri smacks my hand away. "they're mine" I give him a pleading look and he sighs giving me half of his brownie. he so loves me. We both walk to Dad's office and sit down getting a rundown of what we need to do.
