"i'm not talking to anyone else priscilla! believe me."
"so on the call i just heard a random voice?"
"it was my sister! you know how she bugs..."
"sure adam."
"don't believe me?"
i shrug.
adam puts his hands on his head walking back and forth.
"look nothing's going on with anyone, i'm not seeing anyone only you. and you only, okay priscilla?"
"yeah. ok..."
||present||
"priscilla that's my baby. looking cute as always, fine."
"thanks but what did you want to talk about?"
he could tell i was nervous.
"i know that studying thing you and that one soccer player, mattia have-."
"ok and?"
"priscilla..." adam starts to put my hair behind my eyes dropping at my cheek.
"...i hope you and him aren't doing anything that i-."
"really adam? you think i'd do that to you?"
"i'm not saying you are just want to make sure you two aren't doing something that id hate to walk into."
"adam i don't want to do this today ok? i love you and wouldn't do that to you."
i say hugging him and giving him a kiss.
he hugs me tighter and and whispers in my ear,
"i hope not."
maybe hugged me a little too tight.
i walk back to class looking back and seeing adam giving me a wink.
should i feel scared? i mean it's not like i'm hiding something because i'm not. mattia and i aren't doing anything except studying and i'm not cheating and doing any of that with anyone.
did...did he want to hurt me?
||after school||
"priscilla ay...wait up!"
a voice from behind echoed the halls. i turn to see mattia.
"hey...what's up?"
"hey you good? you look a little hmmm how should i say this...you look stressed."
"no i'm fine."
no i wasn't. adam didn't want to do anything today...on our one year...it hurt...we have gone through everything together and this is how we are going to mark our first. he's to "busy"doing homework and other stuff.
"don't look like it ma'am. i know that look. somethings on your mind. wanna talk about it?"
"look mattia whats up? you came to me wanting to ask me something right?"
"right...um about study? are we doing it tonight?"
should i say no?
"sure..."
"okay great um so are we walking or taking a bus or something."
"walking today..." i say.
we start walking, mattia looking down at me every once in a while. i was down. adam really did that and acted like nothing. like if i was nothing...as if WE were nothing.
mattia liked talking...so it seemed. he was talking about all his fame and the events he went to. he might become too hollywood right.
"you're turning hollywood right?" i ask.
"hollywood? nahh...i'm trying to not let all this clout or whatever you want to call it into my head you know...too good for this and that...nahh..."
"ok then."
"what?"
"that seems to be the only thing to talk about...while we're walking..you know..."
"and it's something i'm proud of."
"well you do you."
"i will."
we arrive at the front door step and i can't find my keys fuck.
"um have you seen my keys anywhere?" i ask looking in my pockets and backpack.
"right here." mattia says dangling them.
"HEY who did you get them!?"
"a magician never tells his secret."
ugh.
i open the door and the smell of strawberry's hits me.
"mija?"
"si ma? hiii!" i say.
"who's that?"my mom asks.
"mattia, remember? studying."
"ah ok well i'm baking a suprise and mattia if you'd like to stay for dinner that's fine with me." my mom says.
"hey and thank you mrs.hazell!" mattia reply's.
"mijo i rather have you call me maria please."
"oh ok." he responds.
"well we're going to my room now..." i say.
my mom nods and we make our way to my room.
"i missed your room. it's beauty."
"are you serious." i start laughing.
"yeah like i'd literally pay you to transform my room. no joke."
"maybe another time."
"yes please."
he sets his books down on the floor and plops onto the couch.
"careful please." i say.
"sorry."
