A Little Swirl

Another Day Another Mystery

    "You want me to Jump?"
"No I want to fall in slow motion." She says with a straight face. Was she being sarcastic?
"Yes. I want you to Jump." She yells smiling.
"Pazzo girl."  I mutter.
"What was that? I didn't hear you wussy."
And with that, I jump down, landing on my feet but stumbling over and falling.

   Grunting I push my self up and she holds out a hand smiling. I take her hand and she pulls me up.

     "Thank you."
"I didn't do anything."
"You helped me face a life long fear. That's something."
" Well in that case your welcome Lucca Bellucci."
"Where are you headed to now?"
"Probably the Cafe to meet up with a few volleyball teammates. Care to join?"

  This is probably stupid of me. But I agreed. I know I know a bunch of girls. One guy? Not good! Abort! Abort! Well what can I say. Asia was changing me already but instead I ask if I can invite some guy friends. Me and Asia walk there and meet the guys and girls. Since it was so many I asked Russo if we could go up to the area, he agreed.
   Jackson and Marco are there waiting with Asia's teammates ,
Isabelle and Desire. Isabelle and Desire are twins, they've always been the star players of the team. So it suprised me that they invited Asia to hang out with them she must be good.
  They were both Latina, I dated Desire in my freshman year but we broke up because she was, and still is, a huge flirt. With out noticing it. So this could be, torture.
  "Hey Desire, Isabelle, guys ."
"Hey guys! An other guys I don't Beleive I've met. " Asia says smiling.

   "Hey you are the new girl no?" Marco is still learning English. I talk to him in Italian most of the time since he's Italian also.
"New girl indeed."
"Hey, I'm Jackson but you can call me Jax cutie." And Jackson has always been a huge flirt also.
"Hi Jax cutie." She says chuckling.

   After we all get settled and sit down on the couches we come to an agreement to play confessions, we write down a question for each person in the room. Then we ball them up, and go around asking questions, until all the questions are gone. Desire was going first.

   "Alright this one's for Asia. Do you have a boyfriend.? I wonder who wrote this." She says eyeing me and Jackson. No comment.  (;

     "I did. But we broke up. My turn."

"Jackson, do you still have feelings for Isabelle?" Did I mention they dated? Feelings love and everythimg but they broke up sadly because of a whole load drama that you don't want to hear about.

  "The question is, does she have feelings for me?" Jackson says winking at Isabelle. But she rolls her eyes.
"But Next. Lucca should there be a triangle of love between you Asia and Desire?" Jackson says waggling his eyebrows.

  "I don't do Triangles my friend. Only takes two to Tango." I say raking a hand through my hair.

"Why would there be a Triangle?" Asia says smiling confusedly.

"Oh, me and Lucca dated last year. But we broke up because he couldn't handle how popular I am." Really? I couldn't handle how popular she is?

"Sure that was it." I say raking my hand through my hair.

  Then all of a sudden Asia burst out laughing. Nonstop she started laughing. What was this girl laughing about?
 
" I love how we all ignored the fact that Lucca has a halo of twigs in his curly hair." She says laughing.
  Then they all start laughing. While Asia gets ups and sits on my lap like it's nothing, and everyone stops laughing and stared mouths forming an O. She begins plucking the twigs from my curly hair.
Then Marco says,"Aww you too would be lovely couple."
Desire is invisibly throwing eye daggers at me and Asia as if it's unnoticeable so I grin at her.
   Then she stops. And takes her Polaroid camera out of her bag and puts the twigs back in my hair in halo form. And takes a picture of my hair. I just smile.

   When they all leave I stay to walk Asia home. When we get to her house she hugs me. She smelt like sweet and spicy ginger. Her hugs were so warm that you felt like you were hugging a much bigger person but your not. You don't have to worry about her giving you a half hug because you know she won't. Truth was, she was just a hugger, and she's a great one.

   After walking myself home I lay in bed reminiscing on the very first day I spent with Asia.

Morning
 
  I get up smiling, just cheezing thinking about the way she laughed and the way she talked and the way she laughed. The way her laugh sounded like an upbeat song. Putting on a pair of joggers and a black tee-shirt  I grab a apple and walk out. My mom was at work as always. My other brother had left already because he goes to a private school down town.

Study Hall

  I walk through my aisle to find Asia sitting there again reading and listening. I see she isn't smiling though her face is solemn.

" Hey pazzo ?" I say to her.
"Oh Hi Lucca Bellucci." She says with a forced smile.
"Your not all smiles todays what's wrong?"
"Desire cut me from the team but it's okay."
"Wh-, why would she do that?"
"It's pretty obvious why. Wanna know a random fact?"
   She just changed the subject like that, I would talk to Desire about this though.
"Sure pazzo what you got for me?" I say smiling.

Lunch

  At Lunch me Asia, Jackson, and Marco sit Together.

"No. No. No. Dolphins are deadly Asia." Marco argues.
"But they're not unless they feel threatened Marco. That's like saying Camel spit it poisonous because its so thick."
"But it is isn't it?!!!" Marco yells. Asia laughs.
    We were just watching them debate when Desire and Isabelle  walk up and sit down. I'm sitting next to Asia I guess I was staring because Isabelle says.

"You can stop staring it gets a bit pathetic. She's really not an amazing sight."

Before I can protest Asia responds surprisingly calm.

"Are you saying that because it's true? Or because your sister doesn't like me because, Lucca has taken an interest in me. Hmm I wonder." Asia says tapping her chin.

"She's saying that because Lucca Bellucci never in his lifetime has dated a black girl. Don't jump to conclusions, and think he has taken an interest in you." Desire retorts.

  " How could I jump to conclusions? I don't do athletic things anymore?"

Jackson and Me burst into laughter. Desire gets up and goes up to Asia's face and says. "This isn't your ghetto village, so I suggest you lay low."

  Asia smiles and says," you know I wish you would stop chewing tobacco, it leaves a stench on your breath." She smiles, and gets up and leaves the Lunchroom. Once again leaving everyone with there jaws hanging.

  But mines was formed into a grin.
