Stars | Emilio Martinez

~Chapter 8~

Confused.

Angry.

In that moment, I couldn't explain my emotions.

I looked at the boy and a girl in front of me and didn't know what to think.

So I just walled back home in tears.

Shouting.

Unexpected shouting made me drop my fork and jump in my chair.
I stood up and followed the loud noise. My feet carried me to the hallway and I looked up, inspecting the situation that's on right now.

"What the fuck?" I mumbled to myself, looking at four boys running and yelling.

Chance was holding an Xbox in his hands as he slowly walked up to the fence. I was standing in the middle of the hall and wondered what might be happening.

Ivan and Emilio started yelling and running towards Chance before Tony grabbed and held them.

All of the sudden, I heard my name.

"Kenzie! Move!" Chance yelled and I quickly took a few steps back.

In a matter of seconds, Xbox came crashing down against the floor and I let out a short scream while covering my face with my hands, fearing it would somehow hurt me.

What the fuck?

"What the fuck, man?! Why would you do that?!" Emilio yelled and rushed downstairs, picking up his now shattered Xbox.

I moved my gaze from Emilio next to me, only to look at Ivan, that seems to be busy. Ivan tried to make his way towards Chance but Anthony got a hold of him. Chance then laughed.

"Yo! One is sad and the other one is angry!" Chance stated,
"Guys, chill out" he said once he ended laughing.

Anthony then picked up a box that was on the floor, against the wall, and showed it to Emilio and Ivan.

"Guys, we wouldn't just break your Xbox...that'd be mean. So we got you a new Xbox; a better one" Anthony said

The Martinez twins thanked him and got the box, walking to their room.

As I was scrolling through my Instagram feed, I felt the trampoline move. From the corner of my eye, it seemed Emilio sat next to me, but when I fully turned around I saw Ivan.

"Hi" he said

"Hey" I replied and did a little awkward wave with my hand.

"Wanna go hang somewhere? We haven't hung out in a while, I miss my friend" he simply stated and a quiet laugh left my lips as I looked down at my lap.

"Yeah, sure. What did you have in mind?"

"Uhm...KFC? I really don't know, I'm sorry" he laughed and I joined.

"Alright, just let me grab my purse"

He nodded and I started walking upstairs to my room. Suddenly, someone popped in my mind, making me turn around and look at Ivan.
