Catch me if you can

chapter 21

Martina

*I came back in the kitchen with the cake in my hands*

Me: That was for... oh. That is cute

*Pepe said nothing. He just rolled his eyes and kept on doing what he did.*

Jorge

*I was driving home when my phone started ringing. Ruggero.*

J: Hey buddy, I-

R: WHAT DO YOU MEAN DO RESEARCH

*He shouted in my ear*

J: Chill. Diego needs help.

R: But I don't do smartie things! I like action and sneaking, not computers and reading!

J: The locking system is very difficult to break. Help Diego first and then you can do the action-sneaking thing

R: Ugh. Is it really that important to you?

J: Once we step in, we can't go back. Call the others and come to my house tonight.

...

*I opened the door and let all the guys in. They sat on the couch, turned on the computers and I brought some drinks. We have not worked like this since forever.*

D: I've been trying for a month and I got a great bag of nothing

N: No, I think we'll crack this in a week

*Nico said and waved his hand as if it's nothing. He is always the stressed one. What happened?*

J: I think you got something to tell us. You seem cool tonight.

N: I got a new chick

R: You got a who?

N: Her name is Emma and-

D: Yeah, yeah, great, you can go on a double date with Jorge and his mouse someday. Now focus.

*As I was about to join the guys, my phone rang*

J: I'll be right back... hello?

M: Hi

*Martina's voice sounded happy*

J: Hi sweetheart

M: I was wondering if you have time tonight. I wanted to go to the cinema

J: I'm on my way

M: Okay, I'll be waiting at the café.

*I hang up and returned to the living room*

J: Guys, you can handle it without me tonight?

D: You're going... oh. Have fun tiger

R: I don't mind if you have enough food in your fridge

N: Bye!

*I took my jacket and left the apartment. This is how avoiding homework works. It's not the first time I'm doing this.*
