Me:

really red

"Who are you texting?" Matteo asked me, standing at the door frame.

     "No one." I replied to him.

     "Then why are you smiling so much?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow at me. I threw my pillow at him and he caught it.

     "Why do you care so much?" I said, placing my phone down onto my bed.

     He put his hands in the air. "Just askin'. Give me your phone."

     I grabbed my phone once he said that but he took it away from me with his elephant strength.

     "Texting a girl, huh?" he said with a smirk.

     "Give me back my fucking phone."

     "Oh! She replied!"

     I got up to grab it but wasn't tall enough. If only I was four inches taller.

I jumped up and was able to reach it that way.

I watched as the smirk stay on his face. "You better not tell anyone."

"I'll think about it."

He was still smiling as he left my room. I closed the door and Licia got out of my closet.

"I swear I can't live in there!"

"Why'd you hide from him?" I questioned her action.

"I stole his favorite hoodie." she said, pointing out his hoodie to me. He's been looking all over the house for that damn thing.

She immediately came back onto my bed and sat beside me, peeking at my phone to see the messages.

via:
that's cute

I felt myself getting red.

     Me:
you think so?
are you trying to flirt
with me?

via:
maybe

     Just when I'm about to reply, someone barged into my room. It was my brothers.

They onto my bed. "What are you doing?" Louis asked me with a raised eyebrow. They were acting strange.

"Why do you want to know-"

"Is that my hoodie?!" Matteo yelled out of shock once he saw what was on Licia.

She ran out of my room, abandoning me and ran towards the stairs-probably to run to our dad.

"We heard you're texting a girl." Marco mischievously said head on with a grin.

"Who is it?" Louis questioned, immediately joining in the conversation.

"It's Licia's best friend." Matteo said smiling.

"I think you mean 'only'." Marco joked making himself laugh uncontrollably. Licia joined in on the laughing as Matteo, Louis, and I stared at them oddly.

"They're so weird. . . They probably got it from our dad." I said, changing the subject.

Just right then, our dad came in and started to argue with them on how he wasn't weird.

I sat on my bed-pretending to be engaged in their conversation but really wasn't.

via:
i'm so hungry

Me:
you should go eat

via:
at 1 am?

Me:
who doesn't love a
midnight snack?

via:
you're so right

After a few minutes passed, I recieved another text from her. There was a picture of a side of fries and what it seemed to be leftovers.

via:
my dinner :))

Me:
can i get some?

via:
come over then

"What are you smiling at?" Matteo said, looking at me mischievously with a hint of a slight smile on his face.

"Nothing." I replied back to him with a straight face.

     The others dismissed it and continued to talk about what they were talking about since before.

     Matteo then went on his phone and sent me a text.

gordo:
you're lucky you got
away with it

Me:
fuck off teo

     That's when I received another text from Via.

via: what'd you eat
before?

Me:
a salad since I was
forced too

via:
you dont like salads?

Me:
i hate lettuce

via:
i think you're just
weird

Me:
you like lettuce??

via:
i love it

via:
wanna call

     Holy shitttake.

Me:
sure but in a bit

     My family was still ongoing with their conversation here.

     I left to go to the hangout spot where no one else was but to my surprise, I saw Licia chilling there, sitting at the computer playing a game.

     "What game is that?" I asked her.

     "The one we played with Via! I actually got 64 kills!! Isn't that crazy?!"

     "You wanna play with her?"

     "Is she still up?" she asked back.

     I nodded and sat down onto the conputer next to hers.

     She started to call me and I picked up. After that, we played games all night together-with Licia as a third wheel.
