alejandro woke up and looked around the dark and gloomy room. he stared at the ceiling as he listened to the rain as it hit his bedroom window. he got up and walked towards the window to look outside. he usually liked the rain, but it seemed kind of off to him. he stared at the grey light of a darkening sky and formed a slight smile.
he watched as his bestfriend and also his neighbor kairi walked out of his house and looked up at him. he gave him a smile and walked back into his house. "so...first day back at school , are you nervous?" alejandro turned to see the italian sitting on his dresser holding a soccor ball. "no. why would i be?" he sat on his bed and stared at the boy.
"i dont know, your not scared of the looks your gonna be getting?" the italian boy jumped off the dresser and walked towards the costa rican. "i'm not gonna get any "looks" mattia." "you sure? i know i would be getting looks if one of my bestfriends went missing and was annouced dead." mattia stopped and waited for the boys response.
"exactly mattia, your dead, leave me alone." "you dont wanna know how i went missing, who kidnapped me? what happened?" alejandro turned and looked at mattia with a confused but attentive face. "how? how did you die mattia." "alejandro i never said i was dead, remember they've never even found my body. maybe you should ask our "friends" about what really happened to me." alejandro turned his attention away from mattia as he heard a knock on his bedroom door.
he ran towards the door and opened it to identify kairi and robert. "derek and the boys are waiting for us. are you ready?" kairi focused his attention alejandro as he waited for his answer. "uh...yeah i just need to shower and get my bags." he turned around and closed his room door as he noticed mattia wasnt there anymore.
⁂ ⁂ ⁂
as they were walking to school , alejandro couldn't stop thinking about mattia. that same scene was replaying in his head. "maybe you should ask our "friends" what really happened to me." he shook the thoughts away when he felt a hand on his shoulder. "ale, are you listening?" derek looked at alejandro with a worried face. "yeah im sorry what?" "we're all going to mikes place tonight, you wanna go?" "yeah sure ill be there."
the boys walked inside the school and noticed they were getting a lot of stares. "just ignore it bro." robert whispered to the rest of the boys making sure he wasnt to loud. "just...split up." kairi rolled his eyes as he walked away from the group. "hes just displeased with all the looks." robert looked around at the other boys before walking away.
alejandro took the time to shoot his shot and ask kairi about mattia, after all they used to date before mattia went missing. "hey kai?" the boy walked up to the short boy as he quickly got the short boys attention. kairi always used to seem like a happy person but ever since mattia went missing his mood had change.
he didnt look sad , depressed , nor hurt , he looked worried but nobody knew if it was because mattia went missing or because of something else. it always seemed like everytime someone would bring up mattis he would look mad, annoyed , or even change the subject which made the boys all recieve more stares. "yea ale?" kairi said with a happy tone, happier than usual. "have you been thinking about mattia? do you...do you um- miss him." alejandro was kind of worried to ask him this. he knew how annoyed kairi would become whenever someone said mattias name.
"of course i miss him ale , he was one of my best friends , sometimes you have to stop grieving and go on with life , wont have one for so long remember?" kairi closed his locker and turned to fully face ale, still being shorter than the costa rican. "kai , hes been gone for two weeks , how do you "go on with life." so fast after that?" "yea , two weeks about to be three , they've annouced him dead. get over it alejandro it happens people die." the short boy walked away from the boy and headed to class as they both heard the bell ring.
time went by and ale was doing nothing but recieving many "looks" from people around his school. as he walked in the door he saw his mom in the kitchen cutting onions as she looked up at him and smiled. "com'era il bambino di scuola." she spoke to her son as he came as gave her a quick peck on the cheek. "bene immagino, la scuola è scuola." they shared a quick glance before she pulled him into a hug. "andrà meglio dargli tempo." "yeah sure , i guess."
he grabbed a orange before going upstairs and into his room. "how was school mamas?" he turned around and saw the missing boy sitting on his bed. "school is school." "same thing you told your mom huh? are you gonna tell her about the looks or should i?" "your not really here your in my head."
"you know, your not the only one whos been "seeing" me right?" the boy stood up and walked towards his friend. "who else? kairi?" "no, kairi kairi kairi , we werent on good terms before i went missing." "why? what happened." mattia observed ale before turning his attention to the floor. "i was always a loyal person, cant really say the same about kairi." he started walking back and forth still with his attention at the floor.
"before i went missing , we um...broke up. i found out he had something going on with aloe , i broke up with him and he kind of held a grudge ever since." "are you saying that kairi killed you?" "i never said i was dead mamas." mattia looked at alejandro and laughed .
