there he was smoking by the staircase.
"hey should we go now?" I asked. He nods and walks towards his car as I follow him.
We get home a little later than Niccolò and Camilla. We enter the house and I say "why don't we go in my room so we can do our project... peacefully" I say not knowing how to word it. I didn't really want Niccolò to see him just bc he got annoyed earlier. As we are about to enter my room. Niccolò comes out his room, he sees Mattheo and he scoffs as he walks away. I haven't seen my mom all day, I thought, maybe she went with the Rossi's but I wonder where. Or maybe she found a job. "Well I guess we're done, I think it's time for me to go home" Matteo says. "Hey um, are you doing anything later"? I say asking him, I don't why I decided to invite him to the party but I did. "Nah, maybe just smoke and sleep" he says as he smirks like if he was joking. "Do you maybe want to go to a party later" I ask not thinking about what Niccolò or the others might think when they see him. "Perché vuio che vada" (why do you want me to go) I stay silent for a while not knowing what to say. I quickly say "Why not it'll be fun". " I'll meet you later then" Mattheo says and smirks. I smile and nod. I walk him out the door and he leaves. I then text him all the info.
"Alessia preparati" (get ready) Camilla says as she enters my room. "Va bene" (okay) I say. I put on a tight glittery silver dress, above my knees but not too high. "WOW, Alessia, sei fantastica* (you look amazing) Camilla says, I quickly thank her and compliment her back as well. We're waiting for Niccolo in the living room not knowing why he's taking so long. "Nico hurryyy, let's go" Camilla says again. "Andando" (going) he says . He comes out his room and as he enters the living room he sees me "sei bellissima" (you look beautiful" he tells me. I smile and say "anche tu stai bene" (you look good too) I say smiling. He smiles . " grazie Nico per il complimento" "thankyou for the compliment as well) Cami says as a joke. We laugh. "Youu look good to Cami" he says
We finally got to the party, we all get off and they're about to go into Brando's house but they see that im not following them. "Come on Alessia," camilla says. "I'll be there in a minute, im waiting for someone" I say. Niccolò looks back at me then quickly looks forward again. As Niccolo and Camilla enter, Mattheo arrives. I smile and wave as he walk towards me. " stai bene Alessia"( you look good) he says as he walks towards me. "Grazie" I say smiling at him. We start walking towards the house and finally enter inside. Everyone starts staring. I felt embarrassed for some reason, could it be that im with Mattheo ? I ask myself. We walk towards the drinks and see Niccolò, Camilla, Chiara, Fabio and Damiano. Brando's no where to be seen yet. I smile and wave at them. But they all look at me weirdly. Although Camilla, Fabio and Damiano look at me oddly they still smile and wave. I was about to go up to them but Niccolo scoffs and walks away. I didn't really think anything of it but Chiara follows him. "Ciao" they all say. I reply "this is Mattheo" I say, Mattheo is just smoking not really acknowledging them. They just wave awkwardly. "Hey we're gonna go with Niccolò if you don't mind" Camilla says. As im about to answer they all walk away. "Follow me" Mattheo says. He gets us both a drink and we walk to the front yard. We see Brando, he smiles and walks towards me then he realizes im with Mattheo. His smile faded but he still walks towards us. "Ciao Alessia, sei bellissima" (you look beautiful) he says as he goes in for a hug. "Grazie Brando" I say smiling. "Matteo cosa ci fai qui" (what are you doing here) Brando says. "Sto facendo quello che fanno tutti gli altri"(im doing what everyone else is doing here) Matteo says. Brando gets mad and pushes him back. Niccolo comes running here when he sees Brando push Matteo. Mattheo gets mad and punches him in the face. As Brando gets up about to hit Mattheo again, Niccolo stops him. "Fai attenzione la prossima Volta mattheo" He says angrily as Niccolo pulls him back. I just stood there not knowing what to do. Niccolo looks pissed and so does Brando "get your little friend out of here Alessia" Niccolo says. Brando takes Niccolo's hands off of him and walks away mad. Before Niccolo walks away, he looks at me nodding his head like as if he was disappointed. I look away. "Hey are you okay" "yeah im good, ima go" Mattheo says as he walks away annoyed. Amazing I think to myself, what did I do... yes I brought him to the party but I didn't think the night would end like this. He leaves the party and just leaves me standing there alone. I walk inside the party and there's still people outside talking about what just happened. I go to the bar and get a drink. Then again. And again. I feel tipsy. I never drank like this before. It felt nice. I texted Sarah a picture of me, forgetting she's asleep, she'll eventually see it though. Camilla and Chiara walk towards me. "Hey I heard about what happened out there" Chiara says " yeah he left, it's all good" I say. "Alessia slow down, the drinks aren't leaving" Camilla says. I ignore her and get another cup. She tries taking the cup away from me. "Is it a party or not Camilla. Chiara, dille che è una festa" (tell her it's a party) "Ale she's right, come we'll take you home" they try grabbing my arm but I walk away and head towards brando. I pull him to dance and he smiles following me. We start dancing together and he spins me around. We laugh and smile together still dancing. I was no longer tipsy, I was drunk. We're still dancing then he pulls me away from the crowd, he takes me to a room, could be his room I'm not sure. He smiled and says "you look gorgeous ale" I smile forgetting he has already complimented me once. "You do too Brando". I say, I wasn't thinking correctly but I just seen him smiling at me and I go in for a kiss. He smiles and keeps kissing me. I wish the kiss lasted longer but he pulls away. Am I really that drunk that I want Brando to kiss me more, I think to myself. "Seguimi" (follow me)
It was late, around 11 or 12, he walks me to Niccolo. "Where were you guys" he asked, "she needed fresh-" as he's about to finish the sentence I say "we were in his room" still drunk. "Cosa stavi pensando che sia ubriaca" (what were you thinking, she's drunk) Niccolo pulls me away form Brando not letting him explain himself. "ciao Brando" I say smiling at him as we walk away. We're in the car. Camilla in the back seat with me taking care of me.
I wake up to an alarm.
Ugh my head hurting and my throat feeling soar
How did I end up like this, I think to myself.
