Somewhere Between Vengeance and Sanity

Statement

Noemi's Pov

"Noemi, Can you please come into my office after the bell." Mrs. Schlacken asked me.

Oh boy was all I could think what I could have done to have her want to personally talk to me. All my homework had been turned in, I had yet to get lower than a 95 on her exams. What could she want was the only thought running through my head at a billion trillion miles an hour. I couldn't have anything taint my perfect record.

"Meet, Luigi." She said as I made my way completely into her office now. There wasn't much but what she did have she kept impeccable.

Have you ever had that moment where someone just stunned you into stupidity. Where you can feel your cheeks heating up and there is no denying that you have an attraction towards them. Yup, well that's exactly what I'm experiencing.

"Luigi, this is, Noemi. She will help you get up to speed as well as show you around school. I expect you to catch on quickly and make friends." Mrs. Schlaken said facing him. Turning towards me she said "Noemi, I expect you to find some time in your schedule to get Luigi, up to speed. I need you to help him outside of class until he is caught up. Now I have talked to all your after circular activities instructors to let them know that you will be unable to attend the meetings for the next week."

The next week!! Woah, she's obviously lost her marbles. A week will not be necessary. I can't desert my teams at such a crucial moment. We have soccer finals, prom committee, the debate team final, and then I have to orphanage feeding program to finish organizing.

"Mrs. Schlaken, not to disrespect either of you but I'm sure Luigi, will be up to speed within the next two days." I responded.

"Okay, Noemi. Now off with you two I have papers to grade." She dismissed us.

"Emmy, are you coming?" My best friend Catalina, asked.

"Yeah, give me a sec." I responded, turning to se-...I mean Luigi, turning towards, Luigi. "I doubt you really want to be here right now, so meet me here tomorrow morning, before class. Oh and think about what days work for you so we can stay after school and catch up you up to speed. Bye, See you tomorrow." I rushed out before he could speak up.

Have I mentioned there are three things I do when I'm nervous...A) Blab, B) Laugh uncontrollably, C) runaway, or D) all of the above...Face palm moment.

Oh boy, hopefully he doesn't think I'm rude or even worse a bitch.

Luigi's Pov

"Bro, be careful. Try not to disrespect, Noemi." My cousin Rodrick said to me.

"Why?" I questioned him.

"Let me tell you something about, Noemi. She's sweeter than sugar and incapable of hurting anyone in anyway. Every single guy here is wrapped around her little pinky finger and she doesn't even know it. She's there for everyone. Most of the girls are jealous of her and none dare to step to her. Tristian will have their head in a platter if they were to ever hurt, Noemi. She always has this welcoming smile on her face and that girl has been through shit, but she ain't let any of that phase her. Her brother doesn't step in too much because like I said she had every single guy here wrapped around her finger. She is one of those rare people you don't find now a days. She this down to earth, pure, and honest to God good person. So if I may stop looking at her like a piece of meat you can chase after because she is the take home to meet the family type." He finished.

"Sounds to me like Queen Bee I all front. And next you're going to tell me that you're in love with her as well." I questioned.

"Nah, I was but she doesn't give any guy the chance to be more than a friend." He retorted.

And with that I headed out to call Romolus.

THREE DAYS...Three days had passed since I last spoke to Romolus. He hadn't answered any of my call and I was due to read the testament in two weeks. I needed to know if he had any leads. Instead of sitting here in this library pretending that I actually cared of all this bullshit.

"Hey, Hello earth to, Luigi." I head her voice.

"Yeah, what were we on?" I asked not even pretending that I was actually paying attention to what we were reviewing.

"We were about to go over your answers."

Today was our second session She had given me a tour around school as well as given me a list of all the extra-curricular activities. This girl she really thought I had time for all of this crap.

"Look Noemi, I appreciate it, but I have to go." I said getting up before she could react.

I got about half way through the library when I felt a hand tug on my arm.

"Look I get it. Losing your parents, transferring to a whole new continent, and having to start over was never in your plans nor is it easy. We have one last session Tomorrow its up to you whether you show up or not, but just realize that now your decision don't just affect you but those who depend and care about you." And with that she walked away from me.
