The Promise Ring 💍

03/19/21

mattia's fingers lightly tapped the rubber that was the steering wheel. His eyes stayed put on the smooth grey road with a beautiful scenery surrounding him. it was after school on a Friday and in the car was alejandro Kairi and alvaro

Kairi had gotten tired of always driving so mattia offered but ever since that night in the bunker Kairi hasn't been the same. none of them have

mattia's eyes scanned his phone that carried the directions to the city part of new jersey, and read on top of his screen said
"Montclair university"
mattia huffed a small breath seeing the college come into his bier, he tapped Kairi who's eyes opened angrily from being awakened but his eyes turned wide seeing the college in front of him
mattia basically crashed into guest parking parked in a random spot jumping out of the car speed walking to the entrance while the boys followed
-

walking in he saw a young woman in the receptionist desk smiling typing away on her computer
mattia walking up to her waiting to get her attention. when she finally tuned around she treated then with a small smile and asked if they needed anything
"hellooo yes can I have leila perez's room number?"

"I'm sorry sir student information is strictly prohibited from being handed out if you can tell me your relation to her maybe I could disclose that information"

"she's my girlfriend" alejandro spoke out
"and I'm her brother" mattia laughed

"and them?"

"cousins" alvaro quickly said
"wow big family of men. um yes met me just get a hold of her"

"we'd like to surprise her" Kairi chuckled

The receptionist took a second to think but made a hmm sound "very well, uh room 306"

"thank you!" mattia cheerfully smiled walking through security doors walking into the elevator

"building infiltrated" alvaro giggled lightening the gloomy mood making others let out a chuckle

The elevator opened revealing a long dull hallway

mattia and the boys walked one way all together hoping it was the right direction which it was when Kairi noticed they were in the section leading into the 300's

mattia felt a glisten of hope when he saw the room '306'
"this is it"
"go for it" ale whispered

mattia took a deep breath knocking on the door waiting for an answer

The door opened revealing a young girl with carmelly skin and had very strong black curls

she wore a faded ripped 'nirvana' shirt with a blacking sleeve under with matching black frayed shorts that was accompanied with a sliver chain

black lipstick smoothly covering her plump lips with some wicked black eyeliner and what seemed to be highlight that went very nicely with her complexion

mattia noticed she has a few piercings. her eyes as well as her nose which complimented her freckles

"yes?"

"are you leila Perez?" mattia politely asked playing with his fingers

"who's asking?" she questioned

"us." mattia said morning to him and his friends

she huffed and tilted her head
"yeah,that's me."

"leila. can we ask a few questions?"

"about?"

"about a night that occurred a long time ago maybe.?" he said unsure at the end

her mouth parted shaking her head
"I'm not sure what your talking about. you have the wrong girl." she said starting to close the door but mattia stopped it

"we know what happened."

"you know nothing."

"we know enough. please can we talk, my friends in danger."

she took a second to look at him and his friends she sighed opening the door signalling for them go walk in

mattia waited for her to close the door for some privacy. when she walked back she offered them a seat on the couch available next to her little desk which they gratefully accepted

The young girl ruffled her fingers through her curls taking a seat on her bed

"what do you want to know?"
