Returning home

Chapter 18 - Friends

Angie's POV:

On the next day I went to the Studio and the first person I met there was Milton.

Ugh... Why now?!

- Angie! - he said happily.

- Morning, Milton! - I said, faking a smile.

- Are you looking for someone or something?

- Actually... someone...

- Who could that be? - he asked cheekily. He probably hoped I'd say I'm looking for him, but no.

- Well... - I started. but then I saw Gregorio walking by - Him! - I said as I ran up to him.

- Hoho! Good morning to you too, Angie! - said Gregorio, slightly confused as I almost jumped on his back.

- Where are you going now??

- To my class...

- Okay, just take me with you before this idiot decides to come after me!

Gregorio looked behind me, saw Milton and just nodded.

- Alright, then hurry up! - he said. I just nodded and quickly went after him to his class.

He started teaching and after a while he came to me for help which surprised me, just as the whole class.

- So? What do you say? - he asked.

- Well... sure, I'll help you then... - I muttered, still pretty confused, but I was glad to help him. Atleast I wasn't thinking about anything else while we were dancing.

After the class ended we stayed in the classroom while the kids went their own ways.

- By the way... Were you looking for someone earlier? - asked Gregorio curiously.

- Actually yes... I was looking for you - I replied.

- And why?

I then told him about what happened on the meeting yesterday and my idea too.

- I see... And do you really think I could be useful to your group? - he said quietly. He seemed to be a bit nervous by this... I don't know why.

- Yes... I'm totally sure of it - I nodded, smiling at him - So what do you say?

- Alright... I'm in!

- Thank you! - I jumped happily into his arms and hugged him.

- It's okay... - he smiled and hugged me back.

After talking to Gregorio for a while I went to see Pablo, but I bumped into Priscilla.

- What did you say to him?! - she asked angrily.

- What are you talking about?

- German!

- Oh! Don't worry... I only told him about Nicholas cheating on me, but I didn't say with who... - I groaned. Now I was really annoyed - But take an advice from me, Priscilla... If you even hurt German or Violetta... I swear I'll become your worst nightmare...

- Are you threatening me now?! - Priscilla snapped, but before I could answer Pablo appeared from nowhere.

- Angie! - he said, totally ignoring Priscilla and hugged me.

- Pablo... - I smiled too as I retured the hug.

Meanwhile Priscilla left, but I didn't mind. I hope she'd do this because I didn't want to continue what we just started.

- Angie, we need to talk... - said Pablo, now more seriously.

- O-Okay... - I muttered as we went into his office.

In the office:

- Angie... I heard about your problems you have lately... - he began.

- W-What problems? - I stuttered.

- Problems with German... Nicholas... and Priscilla...

This name gives me shivers...

- Gregorio told me everything... - Pablo continued.

- Damnit... - I groaned.

- Don't be mad at him... He's just worried about you....

- Oh well... I can't help it, but I'll do my best to forget about everything when I'm with Vilu... - I muttered quietly.

- Angie... You're kepp getting hurt by the same person again! - he shouted.

- That's not true! - I shouted back - I was the one who decided to not to say anything... so it's my fault!

Pablo just shaked his head.

- This is why I didn't want to tell you this! Because you just keep arguing with me! - I groaned again then left his office, but he came after me.

- Angie, wait! - he shouted - I'm sorry, okay?

I sighed as I turned around to face him and sighed deeply.

- Okay... I'm sorry too... I'm just so stressed out... - I sighed - But please don't say anything to German cause Priscilla was already threatening me and said she'd make German and Violetta hate me and... and...

Pablo cut me off by hugging me tightly.

- Okay, okay... I won't say anything... But why won't you tell him the truth?

- He wouldn't believe me...

- And Violetta?

- I... don't know... Who knows what can Priscilla do...

- Alright, fine... - he sighed - But you know you can always come to me if you need a friend... - he added with a smile and kissed my forehead.

- And to me too... - said Gregorio who just appeared.

- I know... - I smiled back at them - And thank you... Both of you...
