Summer Break (A Leonardo DiCaprio fanfic)

Chapter Twelve

"So... what's with you and Leo? You guys a thing or?" Nina asked while shoving in a bite of her taco salad.

"No, just friends. He's got a girlfriend, I saw her last night"

"What's she like?"

"I don't know, she's really pretty, tall and has blonde hair"

"Sounds like a whore to me" Nina laughed.

"Just because she's a tall blonde doesn't mean she's a whore" I corrected her.

"Whatever. So do you like Leo?"

"Yeah a little" That was a lie. I liked him a lot. I think I like him more than I've ever liked anyone in my entire lifetime. Whenever I think about him my heart starts to beat a little faster, and when I'm not with him, I wonder what he's doing. And whenever we're away I have this weird feeling of sadness come over me, but right when I see him again, I'm ok. The list of things I feel about him could go on and on.

"I can tell that's a lie" Nina said. Nina always is able to tell how I'm feeling, just by looking at my eyes she can guess my emotion. She always used to tell me that you can read what I'm thinking through my big brown eyes.

I shrugged and took a bite of my taco. "This place is really good, but there's this one taco place by my university and-"

"Don't change the subject" Nina snapped.

"I don't really want to talk about it" I said as I pushed my plate away from me. I wasn't feeling to hungry today.

"C'mon! You're in love with him aren't you" Nina teased.

"Alright alright ok, yeah I guess I like him a lot. But I don't think it's love" I said while looking down trying to hide my red cheeks.

"Yeah I thought so, do you know how he feels about you?"

"I don't really know how to tell"

"What do you mean? Like do you catch him looking at you when you're not paying attention or does tease you a lot? Y'know, things that guys do when they like you"

I shrugged again. "I don't think he likes me like that. From what I can tell he's a huge flirt and he really hasn't flirted with me. Well, he did call me hot last night and told me to be more confident, stuff like that. He probably just feels bad for me"

"You've got to quit that! Stop putting yourself down, it's annoying" Nina stated.

"Well it's what I think. Anyway do you want the rest of my food?" I asked.

"Why don't you want it, are you feeling ok?" Nina asked raising her left eyebrow.

"Yeah It's just one of those days where I don't feel to good"

Nina shook her head. "That's what you said during graduation, but you remember what happened?"

"Yeah yeah I know, but I'm fine, really"

"How long have you been feeling like this?" Nina asked again. Ok, she's getting way to worried than she should be right now.

"Off and on this past week I guess" I shrugged.

"Well how about you come stay at my house tonight? We haven't slept over since you left for college" Nina implied.

That would be nice. To get away from my family for the night. As much as I've missed them I don't think I realized how much I miss, well, being independent. "Ok, but we have to stop by my house to pick up some stuff"

Nina nodded and then began to babble on about her older brother. I wasn't paying to much attention, in between thinking about Leo and my sickness. Why couldn't I get him out of my mind? This is really starting to get on my nerves.

This is another one of those "filler chapters" and it wasn't as good as I hoped for. I'm getting tired of criticizing my writing so much though so I'm just going to be proud of what I've done. Thanks for reading and voting!!🌸💖🌸
